HE WILL LEAD US

   Last night's painting
 
Good morning to you!

Hope this day is a blessing for you! We went to the beach again yesterday. We wore clothes and put on the sunblock. We sat in the water digging for more shells and didn't take our clothes off. Although, I am still in pain from the previous day's sunburn, I got it bad, I am thinking that I got sunburn again on my back through my t-shirt. Live and learn!

We also water painted again last night. I don't just sit at home and do that. So it has been fun. I brought my whole bag of supplies with me because I know my daughter likes to do it also. She has put all her supplies in storage so she can't do it when I leave. But I need to take the time to do it at home. Maybe this will give me the confidence I need. I usually only do it in class.
 
Well, I leave for home tomorrow. I don't relish driving the 13 hours alone. Please pray for me. It is the getting tired that I don't like. It is a long way. So, like I said when I came down, I will have to eat all the way. That seems to keep me awake the most. Oh and popping gum. I guess I need to get some bubble gum. As much as I have loved this trip, I will love to be home in my own bed. And to see my husband the most.
 
And I guess it is time to get back in my own routine although I sure love a different routine for a time. I love traveling. And that leads me to the traveling we do through life.
 
“In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, In the days 
of Jael, The highways were deserted, And 
the travelers walked along the byways.
Judges 5:6
 
I am so glad that we don't have to walk when we travel.
 
Moreover You led them by day with a cloudy 
pillar, And by night with a pillar of fire, To give 
them light on the road which they should travel.
Nehemiah 9:12

As we travel our short life that God gives us, He will lead us and guide us with His Word. God will also give us light on the road that we should travel. I doubt that He will give us a pillar of fire, but He will lead us all the same. Although I believe that He could give us fire by night if He wanted to. 

For as many as are led by the Spirit 
of God, these are sons of God. 
Romans 8:14 

God will instruct me and teach me in the way 
I should go. He will guide me with His eye.
Psalm 32:8
 
My steps are ordered by the Lord. 
Psalm 37:23

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 
Psalm 119:105

I follow Jesus so I shall not walk in 
darkness, but I have the light of life.
John 8:12

So, Jesus is our pillar of fire by night. How great is that! He will lead us in our way everlasting. He will lead, guide and direct our paths. He is the Great I AM! He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will love us unconditionally. He will order our steps. He is our instructor and teacher. We just have to love Him and accept these things, accept the light that He gives us.

Oh, Lord, I praise You and thank You for all you do for us. Amen!

 Have a blessed day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

Image
  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
