Beloved–

I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart; I will sing your praises before the gods. I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.  I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name. As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength.  (from Psalms)

When calamity and disaster knocked on my door, dressed in full uniform and with guns blazing, I greeted them with a joyous “THANK YOU JESUS” accompanied with the appropriate fist pumping gestures.  But no, my first reaction was despair. I forgot who goes before me and who stands behind. I pray for you to always know the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.  (from Isaiah)

As a young Christian and a mother of 4 under 5, there just didn’t seem to be enough hours in a day.  One night I prayed, “Lord, how can I fly if I’m exhausted?” Several times that night I would wake and go back to sleep.  In the morning I realized I had been trusting in my own strength and not in the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit! The chaos remained but I did not grow weary.  I’m praying for you to tune your ear to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished….  (from Nahum) 

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are  being renewed every day.  (from Corinthians)

Even when I want to sit down and stop, I know that I need to get up and go, because the opportunity to do the Father’s work will soon end.  I’m praying for you to have the same sense of urgency. He is coming again! PTL!

Luv Ya!

Beloved–

You [God the Father] will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you [Him], all whose thoughts are fixed on you [Him]!  (from Isaiah)

When all the frustration and chaos of the day start to overwhelm me, his promises raise me up because, I trust the situation to the God who is … Father, Son Holy Spirit!  I’m praying for you to see the light and feel his presence.

Luv Ya!
