The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need … I love the Lord because he hears my voice  and my prayer for mercy.  Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!  (from Psalms)

Even when total chaos reigns in my mind and my surroundings — I’m not always sure which end is up — still, I am able to pray and cry out to my savior who died for me, to my heavenly Father who has forgiven me and through the power of the Holy Spirit who intercedes for me.

I pray for you daily, that you always seek to praise our triune God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires  … The prudent understand where they are going, but fools deceive themselves.  (from Psalms and Proverbs)

I became a believer; then I read the book of Psalms in the Bible and it soothed my soul — even to tears of joy.  My soul was shallow and my heart was completely selfish and self centered.  Then I read the book of Proverbs in the Bible; it talks a great deal about fools and their folly.  I began to see I was more interested in what Christ could do for me and less of how much I could do for him.  What a fool I was and how gracious Christ is!

I pray for you everyday; that you delight in the Lord and that you are prudent when you praise the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

“The Lord formed me from the beginning, before he created anything else …

“I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.  I know where to discover knowledge and discernment … “I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me … “And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.

How long will you fools hate knowledge?  … You ignored my advice … When they cry for help, I will not answer … For they hated knowledge  and chose not to fear the Lord.  (from Proverbs)

I was always backing myself into a corner.  Then I began to read Proverbs everyday and I thought, great all my problems are solved!  “Not so fast”, said the enemy.  Then I learned not to confuse my wisdom — for a solution — with the way the Lord works in my life.  I’m learning that I can be joyful in all situations.

I pray for you daily to hold on to God and his word just as tight as you can; always praising the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body  and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. (from Psalms)

I awoke at midnight with chest pain July 29th and went to the ER.  Many tests and examinations later the doctor told me that I didn’t have a heart attack but that my “pipes needed to be re-piped” aka bypass surgery.  With the admonition that if, I wouldn’t do anything — no pushing, no pulling, no lifting, no carrying or straining of any kind, that would undo the successful surgery — for 3 months then I would be “good to go.”  

Today, the doctor said I could return to my accustom activities and did not need to return until my annual check-up!!  God’s word always proves to be true!

I have been praying for you daily; the doctor didn’t say anything about not talking, and I will continue to commit you to the God who is … Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!
