A Fall view of the Roanoke Valley from Mill Mt Star
 
A beautiful Fall view from a friend's backyard.

A friend was visiting Bible Study Fellowship and attended the discussion group  of which I am a member. Afterwards, I asked my friend what she thought. She said, "I think you are a bunch of Bible scholars, which I am not."  I chuckled, "We are NOT Bible scholars, we just all have the answer book. The answers to all the questions on the sheet can be found in your Bible."  There are personal application questions as well and those answers come from your heart and life experiences.

Let's all pray right now for people who do not regularly study God's Word to taste and see that the Lord is good and realize he gave us his Word in hopes everyone would read it. It is a treasure designed to be found.  There is no harm in seeking Him. His Word unlocks truth after truth for us!  Each truth is designed to set us free from the many things in this world that are a trap created to hold us captive from all God has for us now and forever.

While in another Bible study  (seeking the Lord because I am NOT a Bible scholar),  a friend said of the study we were doing..."I just am not getting anything from this. I do not know how to answer these questions."  One of the other ladies said, "Have you asked the Holy Spirit to guide you. He was given to us for that purpose."  The apprehensive lady took this advice and said the Word of God came alive for her!

The Song

"The More I Seek You" Kari Jobe

A friend just had breast cancer surgery. On that day the Spirit promoted me to send her this song and tell her I was praying for her dreams during surgery. I prayed those dreams revealed beautiful things about God that were beyond her wildest dreams during that sleep.  Unimaginable things about His love for all creation.

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
