Taking Vows
Two weeks from tomorrow, I will take vows during a wedding ceremony to my fiance-soon-to-be-husband.
Three Hundred and Fifty Nine Days
This week and next, we're on a trip, celebrating our first anniversary. It's so hard to believe it has been nearly a year, but it is. Just this morning, Jim suggested for our devotions we have each morning, to read a verse. He picked it. Guess what it was? Yes! It was the above verse!!
With Hope–February 6, 2006
That is the theme of my life. I can see how faithful God has been to me.....and how much hope is in my life. I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t admit sometimes I wonder what’s around the next bend in the road, because loving brings hurt and sorrow. But for today, I will reflect on the hope God has given me and the many blessings He has surrounded me with.
Trust
Another reminder, yet again. My hope is in God, maker of heaven and earth. It is in He I put my trust. And that is enough.
Getting To The Top
Perhaps you’re facing something more difficult than a trail winding up a mountain. Is it a difficult marriage? Is your adult child wandering away from the faith you believed he’d keep? Is someone you love sick? Has the doctor told you something isn’t quite right and there are more tests to be done? Did your boss tell you that the company is making cut-backs and your job is in jeopardy? Perhaps people are saying things about you that are not true. Whatever the difficulty, I challenge you to give them to the Maker of the beautiful world we live in. He knows your difficulty. He’s right there with you. He loves you.
Hope—Very Real
My life is good, but I still need to be reminded of where my hope lies. I also read, "Cease striving and know that I am God." I learned that "striving" means sink down, let drop, relax. Sometimes I don't relax very well.
Mrs. Grumpy Skirt
I wish I would learn to always be thankful and grateful for my situation. But I am not. I woke up grumpy and it continued throughout the day.
Lessons Learned
My future on this earth is uncertain, but my eternity is certain and the best is yet to come. This I know for sure: I am not alone, for I have that same risen Savior walking beside me.
More Steps Moving Forward
I needed to process things for a time, then decided it was time for a change. So I did it.
An “Aha” Moment
The method I like takes you through on a slower path. Each day you read a certain section of the Bible
