Surrendering

Last night at our worship service, part of a song stuck out to me. 'He is mighty to save'. I've sang it lots of times but it got me thinking. Not only does God save us from hell, He also saves us from drug/alcohol addictions, eating disorders, gambling, and other sins and temptations that we struggle with. What in your life do you need saved from? Ask Him, fully surrender and he will take it and throw it as far as the east is from the west...........

Little Things

Yesterday I was at home all by my lonesome. I baked, washed laundry and actually took time to watch a movie. I was relishing in my quietness!  As I was working I couldnt help but Thank God for the ability to do these usually mundane things. Six months ago I would have given my left kidney and right arm to be doing something this 'normal' instead of being on the side of a hospital bed. I have a new outlook on housework and havent complained yet on sticking dirty underwear in the washer! :] Here's hoping you take Joy in the ability to do the 'little things'!

Set Free

 Earlier this week I heard  one of my favorite songs. Amazing Grace, its the version where the chorus goes, "My chains are gone, I've been set free, My God, My saviour has ransomed me, and like a flood, His mercy reigns, Unending Love, Amazing Grace!" How awesome to have the weight off my shoulders, no more guilt and shame to bare. Praying that you know the same 'Unending Love'!

Perfect Timing

My whole life has the fingerprints of God's perfect timing on it. From the time I asked Jesus to be the Lord of my life, to Marv asking me out, to my boys being born. There have been times where I wanted things now or done my way, but in His all knowing ways, God has gently told me to wait. (I love that about him) For people who know me well, know thats hard for me! The older I get the more I realize that I end up a much more satisfied and happy person if I just chill and wait. I pray that God's perfect timing be enough for you!!!  Its so worth the wait!
