Good morning!
I told you yesterday that my heart was singing. This morning I was thinking about what God has been doing especially during the mission trip. One of those things is my foot and pre-diabetes issues. It was so awesome what He did!

What is going on for almost the past year with my foot is plantar fasciitis. The pain I have had with every left foot step has been a lot. The doctor said that it could take a year to heal. Someone else told me that their doctor said it will never heal. Well, God has healed me. I bought a pair of expensive shoes and a special sleeve to wear. I did the exercises the doctor told me to do. I tried to follow the doctors order's. For about a week or two before I left it quit hurting. I was ecstatic about it. But I knew that while on the trip that with all the walking we do and being on my feet a lot that it would really hurt. It never hurt for one second while we were gone. Praise God! I am so thankful to God for that.

The other issue is the pre-diabetes one. I have been having trouble with highs and lows in the sugar dept. but I didn't even have a clue about that. No one in my family has ever had that problem that I know of. For me this has been going on for a couple of years but I didn't know what it was. I get a blood test every 6 months but the doctor just let it go because it wasn't too bad. But the nauseousness kept on and was getting worse. Anyway, I started the Atkins lifestyle of eating with high protein-low carbs and it has helped tremendously. So, I don't eat bread, pasta, desserts or anything much with carbs in it. And I have been doing pretty good with an episode every once in a while. I knew though that while on the mission trip that most of the food that we ate would be carbs. And it was. But in order to eat I couldn't not eat. So, I did but tried to be careful. Anyway, I never had but one episode of ill feeling while gone and it didn't get full blown at all like it has many times before. So, I give God all the glory, honor and praise for that also.

Let's not forget the big and the little things that God does for us. They really mean a lot, every one of them. We must praise God for all things. He tells us to!

1 Chronicles 29:13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.
Psalms 35:18 I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among much people.
Psalms 35:28 And my tongue shall speak of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.
Psalms 43:4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy: yes, on the harp will I praise you, O God my God.
Psalms 92:1 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless his name.
Psalms 101:1 I will sing of mercy and judgment: to you, O LORD, will I sing.
Psalms 138:1 I will praise you with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise to you.
These are only a few of the many scriptures about what we should do all the time. And I praise God for them.
Have a terrific 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...
