Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday at CrossPointe Church

My church connect group is embarking on a 50 day devotional study by Lysa Terkeurst called You're Going to Make It.  I'll post pieces of wisdom I'm learning along the way.  The promises found in Day 1 are highlighting worthy in your Bible!


Here is a link to the first week, but I encourage you to order the book from Proverbs 31 Ministry and sign up for the emails.

Day  1 Healing is not as Neat and Tidy as I’d Like


Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.  Psalm 119:105

“I needed to surrender my vision of what I wanted for God’s better and more complete vision. That’s what Jesus did in the garden of Gethsemane when he prayer, ‘Abba, Father’ he said, ‘everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me.  Yet  not what I will, but why you will.”  Mark 14:36


God promises to guard your heart and mind.          Philippians 4:6-7

God promises to give you His peace.               John 14:27

God promises to comfort you in all your troubles. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

God promises to help you and strength you. Isaiah 41:10

God promises to bless, protect, and be gracious to you. Numbers 6:24-26

God promises to give you rest when you’re weary and burdened. Matthew 11:28-30

God promises to hear and answer your prayers.         1 John 5:14-15

God promises to supply all your needs.         Philippians 4:19


God has a perfect plan in the midst of a million imperfect realities.


Evening - Isaiah 55:9 as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts tan your thoughts.


Prayer

God, please keep reminding me to not get attached to my own limited thinking. Give me eyes to see an expanded perspective beyond what I see right now.


God, I am prone to forget  Your faithful promises. Thank You for showing them to me in so many different Bible verses today. That You for caring about me and what I’m walking through.  I trust You with what’s heavy on my mind and know You see me as I lay those things down at Your feet tonight. In Jesus’s name.

The Song

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
