Cry to the Lord

-
March 8-9
Heading off this morning to a women's conference to praise the Lord with the masses!  
It has been a lot of work for the women at the local church putting this conference together.  Our pastor's wife heads up this conference and we've tried to keep her prayed up so she will not grow anxious over the details.  Here are some scriptures we prayed over her.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do to be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3

Let's pray these things together now for the work the Lord has for each of us to do. Then be sure to click on the song below, raise your hands in the air and sing along!  (My husband caught me doing this earlier.)

Father, we adore you!  We lay our lives before you and desire to be pleasing in Your sight. When the enemy rears his ugly head remind us to not be afraid or discouraged, but to stand strong and courageous as Gideon and his 300 did, knowing You go before us and area with us wherever we go.
When the testing times arise, may our automatic cry be…"Save us, Lord."  Be upon every detail Father of our lives.  In Jesus' Name, we come to You. Amen.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
