LET GO AND LET GOD



Coligny Beach, Hilton Head

Good morning on this fine Thursday!
How are you doing? I pray all is well with you, my reader. As I have said before thank you for reading because without you there would be no reason to write this blog. And I thank God for giving this to me. Without Him there would be no one to write about. God is so good and awesome!

We have been sleeping late. Unusual for us. My husband didn't get up until after 7:30 and he usually is up at 4:30 or 5 am. And I woke up about 7:45 and I am usually up by 6:30. But it feels so good to sleep in. I don't like doing it at home but on vacation if feels good. Of course, I am more tired on vacation than at home. We spent most of the day shopping yesterday but before shopping we were in the pool and jacuzzi. Then after shopping we went to the beach. Then after the beach we went out to dinner and didn't eat until 8:30, which is way late for us. And of course we also were out for lunch in between all of that. I guess I will need a starvation diet when I get home. But the food has been marvelous. And so has the company we are keeping.

Please pray for a young couple that I know. They have gone to Africa to get a little boy to adopt. They have been there a week and haven't been given a paper to exit the country and come home. They are very anxious and are asking for a miracle. The little boy is absolutely adorable.

And God is the God of miracles. We just have to ask. Jesus fed the 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish. Jesus turned water into wine. Jesus healed the woman with the issue of blood and many, many more. Jesus commanded the demons to leave Legion and go into the swine. Jesus calmed the winds. 

Jesus can still do these things. He is the Miracle-worker. All we have to do is ask. Sometimes we do get what we ask for, sometimes He answers differently. He knows what is best for us. He knows what we need when we ask. When things don't happen the way we want that is for Him to know, not us. That is why He is God. We just have to believe, and trust and obey. And we are not to fear. 

So, let's do our part and He will do His part. We are not to try to do God's part. He is in control. And He loves us enough to answer our prayers in the perfect way.

If you abide in Me, and My words abide 
in you, you will ask what you desire, 
and it shall be done for you.
John 15:7 

Do not be anxious about anything but 
in everything, by prayer and petition, 
with thanksgiving, present your requests 
to God. And the peace of God, which 
transcends all understanding, will guard 
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Have an awesome 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...
