GOD'S PLANS

 Somewhere near Del Ray, FL on one of our trips.

Good morning!
Sometimes I feel I spend too much time talking about me. Well, the whole point of this blog was to tell what God has done for me. Then it seemed as time went on I had told everything about me, well not everything, but what God told me to. So, I have tried to move into what God wants us to do as His people and then only a little bit about me. 

For I know the plans I have for you," declares 
the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to 
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

I do know that God has a plan for each of our lives, not only as a whole, but each day, week, and so on. I had been asking God to give me a way to make a little bit of money since a left my job two years ago. Has it really been that long?

Anyway, about a month ago He did just that (praise God from Whom all blessings flow) and I work at home for one of my business managers. As much as I wanted to work at home, which I am, I didn't realize how much it would change how I plan my days. It is harder than I thought to organize my time between household stuff and work stuff. One seems to slide into the other sometimes and I can't keep track of my hours. The phone rings for my job and then it rings for personal. So, it does get a little confusing. But with God's love and help I will figure it out. And I will certainly count my blessings!

Just a reminder it is only about 32 days until God moves this blog into mission activities and pictures on our mission trip. It starts June 22 and ends on the 28th. I hope you will experience it with us and pray for us as we serve God in our Samaria. 

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and 
might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and 
you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and 
all Judea and Samaria and to the 
ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
Acts 1:8 AMP

So, today, depend on God for whatever it is that you need. Trust Him. Count your blessings. And pray for those all around you. Keep your focus on Jesus and what you can do for Him!

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

  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...
