STORMS






I took this after the storm on Monday 
around sunset. I stopped in the middle 
of the road and click-click!




Good morning to you!
The storms were pretty bad here last night but they could have been worse. I am sure it was in someone else's neighborhood. There was a tornado warning here. We were 35 minutes away at church but so glad that God protected us and our home and community. Lots of leaves and small branches around but not too bad.

In the afternoon the power kept clicking off about 10 times. I guess those might have been power surges. I don't like that because that is when you can burn up something: tv, computer, air conditioner, etc.

The power went out about 4 am this morning and didn't come back on until around 8 am. When my husband left for work their was a tree fallen on a power line and pulled down on the road. Our neighbor was standing in the road with a flashlight and warned him of the downed lines. This was before 6 am. Don't know if this is what took our power out or not since the power to us comes from the other direction. Only God knows!

The storms of life can get pretty bad. But God knows our hearts and our lives completely. Even more than we do. Take comfort in His Word!

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” 
Deuteronomy 31:6

He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.  
Psalm 107:29

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. 
Psalm 34:17-20

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Nahum 1:7

Clothe yourselves in God's Word and let Him bring you through the storm!

Have a great 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...
