Monday's Strength. Update on Mia. Mini Dresden Wall Hanging. Book Date. from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Monday's Strength
Lately I've been enjoying reading Colossians very slowly and journaling about it in my Happy Planner Faith Edition. I was struck by how similarly Paul began his letters to the Colossians and the Philippians.

He tells them that he thanks God for them when he remembers/prays for them and why he is grateful for them. He then goes onto say how he is praying for them. This pattern is followed in many of his other letters to various groups.
I wonder how our world would change if we greeting each other by sharing how grateful ...

At my church, Heart for the World, Pastor Dale has some really cool sayings that I have begun to call "Daleisms". When I told him about them, he laughed and said he'd never heard of them before. I've decided to share a few from the June 23rd service which is part of a series titled "Loving Your Family On Purpose".

"Success is having the love and respect of those who know you the best."

At the times all is right in his marriage, he feels like he can "charge hell with a water pistol!"

Oh how true - we can be blasted by situations, but we are not destroyed. During Sunday's sermon, my pastor, Dale Walker, stated, "Bring faith into fear, praise into pain."

If we chose to do just that and remember 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 we can keep the defeated one just that: defeated!

My dear reader, God does indeed bring it all together for us in the end. I love this part of the verse.

Why does He do this?
"Because He cares,
cares right down to the last detail." James 5:11
That is such a blessing and reassurance for me as I am definitely not a detail person. Knowing my life and the lives of my loved ones are in the hands of One who cares right down to the last detail is a source of peace for me. In the moment, I may not understand His ways ...

This morning I needed a word from the LORD, His guidance. So I reached into my Scripture box and: Wow. He made His will very clear to me, confirming what He has been telling me all week.

Do we go forth when He calls us to unknown, seemingly scary places or do hesitate? To be honest, I'm hesitating. He is patient, though. He will continue to prepare me for this journey into the unknown. He'll do the same for you my friend.

The day Daddy went into surgery I remembered this old, familiar hymn.

I just knew that, whatever the outcome, with Christ, I could face tomorrow. God has infused me with an incredible peace and serenity. Not to say that this process hasn't hurt or that tears have not flooded my eyes. It's just that with His presence, I am serene in the midst of chaos. And then I cry! :) And then I lean on Him and find peace again. Isn't He good?

God's timing is perfect. His ways are higher than our ways. I realizes this even more when remembered sharing this verse not long ago.

Two days later, I leaned on it - hard.

My dad has been diagnosed with METS - metastatic cancer. You can read more about it here.
So, yes, I am leaning on this verse as well as many others. My daughter sent me this song.

God is good - all the time. All the time, God is good. We can indeed trust Him.

Matthew 11:10 blessed me so much when I read it tonight. I realize that it is referring to John the Baptist preparing the way for Christ. However, I also look for ways Scripture can apply to my life directly.

Though the way ahead of us may seem uncertain, God has prepared our way. He has sent messengers ahead of us. He has provided a way of comprehension, compassion, love and support for us.

As we go through life, as we face our challenges, let us draw strength and comfort from the knowledge that God has prepared ...

When we are weak, He is strong. In our times of pain, we can count on God. Always.

I took a walk with God this evening. I needed Him. My heart is breaking bit by bit as I see my Daddy grow weaker and weaker due to some unknown, un-diagnosed ailment.

As I prayed, I played my "Gentle Praise" playlist. This song blessed me.

When I am weak, He is strong. In my times of pain, I can count on God. Always. And so can you.

I picked up this lesson from Jana Alcorn's book, Don't Throw in the Towel, Hope Again. She pointed out that perhaps by Hezikiah turning to the wall, he was turning away from distractions. Let us prayerfully turn into our wall and away from whatever may be distracting us from our precious LORD's voice. Then, after meeting with the Source of our strength, we can courageously fight the good fight (1 Timothy 6:12).

Jesus Asked It #6

As soon as I read Jesus’ next question, I remembered my first years as a bilingual teacher. It was so overwhelming! So, to simplify my life, I decided to join my students and wear the uniform that they wore: blue pants/skirt and a white blouse. That way I could focus on what was truly important: being the best teacher I could be.

As I read the above verse, I wondered if Christ was really saying: “Seriously, why do you worry about clothes? There are lost souls to be saved, the sick to be healed! Time ...

Today's post will be short as I have enjoyed the last few days relaxing with my husband. Last night my daughter and 8-year-old grandson came over to play with our new puppy, Chico, and Kitty.
My grandson and I practiced lassoing each other's arm and playing chase in the yard. I tackled and tickled him a few times as Chico licked his face!

I thought there may be some pain in this grandma's body this morning, but my pain levels are normal - no increased pain! Praise God!

Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  Matthew 6:27 I was a professional worry wart - had my
PhD in this skill - still do.
Worrying is like running on the hamster's wheel...

So much wasted energy and I bet we look pretty silly to our LORD and Savior.

It's hard to break the worrying habit. One activity that works for me is listening to praise and worship music. My altar, Promise Box and spending time daily with God are vital to my faith.

Our next question addresses worry and anxiety over our basic needs.

I find this verse a tough one because of all the hunger and poverty in our world. Perhaps this is why we are so encouraged to give to missions. After all, are we not the hands and feet of God?

Would poverty exists if everyone gave a bit to eradicate it? Hmmm…I wonder?

For application to myself, I have learned that my basic needs – food, clothing, shelter - will be covered by my LORD and Savior. As I examine other “needs” in my life, I ...

From last time, we ended with this question:

If we lose our "saltiness" (purpose) or our light, how can we be made salty/filled with light again? Unlike salt, we can be redeemed.

My first thought as I wrote that question was this verse:

³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,

and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

Clearly, after reading this verse in context, Jesus is referring to food, shelter and clothing. Seek first His kingdom and the rest will come.
