The forecast for Saturday is snow... potentially 6 inches.

Dear Lord, please help me have a good attitude. Amen.

I trust Him, today.

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way. ~ C. S. Lewis

*sigh*

His purpose in my life....

..... happiness? not always.

...joy? yes, but not just on good days, on bad days too; and sometimes that joy doesn't mean a smile, it just means peace.

....showering me with daily blessings? on how I my childlike heart wishes this was His sole purpose.

....making me more like Christ? ummmm... yep, every day, in everything, He is trying, when I a willing, to shape me, change me, teach me.

I guess I hadn't realized that sometimes the ONLY way to learn a lesson that He wants to teach is to have tragedy strike. Quickly, painfully. Sometimes taking your breath away. Sometimes dropping you to your knees. In tears.

From a loving God?!?! Yep. The God I know does this. He does this FOR me, not TO me.

And I am okay with that. I trust Him. Not because I have to. Because I choose to. I want to. That is when I see Him fill me... with hope, peace, strength.... and sometimes a smile.

Through the tears I trust Him.

and I still have this song in my head....

"Never" is a beautiful word.

a challenge......

I do welcome and want your comments and prayers right now. I just need them to go to my personal email, rather than on my blog right now. You can see my email in the right column.

I do want to thank so many of you for your prayers and support. I have felt them in such a real way. I have been amazed at how I sense the power of God as my family goes through a difficult time.

God is the same today as yesterday.
His promises are the same.
His love is the same.
His power is the same.
His peace is the same.

I am a different person than I was a few weeks ago.

Bear with me as I adjust and mold into the woman God is teaching me to be.

I love each of you.

I am stealing the following Beth Moore quote from my friend Sarah's blog post HERE. And putting it in mine here:

We are so culturally indoctrinated to be fast-paced, high-energy, hands-on kinds of people that we tend to think of prayer as a passive, nearly "do-nothing" reaction. We tend to pray when we don't know what else to do. Beloved, nothing shakes the heavenlies like prayer. Nothing moves the heart of God more than prayer. Furthermore, I'm not sure anything takes more energy at times than fervent prayer.~ Beth Moore

This is love
