PEACE! PEACE!







 Panama City Beach. 
The beach always give 
me a sense of peace! 






 

Good morning to you on this fine day!
How did you sleep? I was sound asleep and the phone rang about a little before midnight. Would you believe that no one was there? At least if there was, they didn't say anything. Then I couldn't go back to sleep. It seemed like I laid there forever. I know it wasn't but when you can't go to sleep it sure seems like it. I prayed and prayed and thought and thought and prayed some more and finally drifted off. But I had a definite lack of peace.

Then I woke up at 6:30 and had to get up. I didn't want to. I am not a late sleeper but I just wanted to lay there a while. It seems it is always on Sunday that I want to just lay there. And as usual I am feeling weird today. But I think that I put my finger on it. 

About a year and three months ago, I resigned from my job and other things, and much changed in my life within a couple of months. I kind of felt unneeded or something like that. I added a few things to my life at that time and it has been great. There has been a few changes again and I am feeling restless and maybe a little lost. I am not so lost spiritually just emotionally I guess. I don't feel like I belong anywhere, I guess is what it is. I don't know. I just have to trust in the Lord. 

My husband is so busy. My kids are so far away so I can't really be mom or grandma. I don't have a job to go to. I guess I could get a job. I don't have my home church family around me. I miss them so much. I have a new church family that I don't really know as of yet. I don't mean to feel sorry for myself which I am really not. I love my life. I am so blessed by God. I just feel restless and uneasy for some reason. Maybe it is a health issue. I do have a bunch of tests next week.

Have you ever felt that way? I know that God is with me and that He loves me more than anyone ever could. And He is with you and loves you that way also. And in time I won't feel that way anymore as long as I keep my life focused on Jesus. He is the Author and Perfecter of our faith.

I will try to pray without ceasing and focus on the Lord and I know that even though it may not be time for any answers from Him, He will give me some peace. I may never know any answers to what I am feeling, but if He would give me some stability in my emotions that would be wonderful.

And He can do that for you also. Because He is a wonderful and awesome God and knows our every need even before we do.

The Lord gives strength to his people; the
 Lord blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 29:11

Have a wonderful 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

KNOW HIM

I took this picture yesterday. It was amazing!   Good morning to you on  this blessed and chilly day! May God fill you with His love and His Spirit. He is awesome! He is miraculous! He is the great I AM! He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last! He is our Lord of lords and King of kings. He is my Savior! Is He yours? Jesus is coming back soon. Do you know Him? I am going to share this video with you again. I shared it once before and it is amazing. We can never hear it enough. And if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, listen very carefully. That's My King Dr. S.M. Lockridge This video says it all! If you don't know Him, get to know Him. Read God's Word. Fellowship with other believers in church and out of church. Talk to Him in prayer.  Now I am not saying that believers are perfect but far from it. We are all on a journey to know Him better. Churches are not a hotel for saints, but a hospital

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
