The Next Chapter

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22

I remember this verse today as I continue to search for strength, I am working, supporting my family and going to school. I need to remember I am not alone but have to ask for the help when needed. I am praying for guidance and your holy spirit to hold me every night.

Dear God, help me to recognize the holy spirit in my life and that you
are working in me. Grace me with strength and courage to overcome my own stubborn will. Amen

The Next Chapter

You are the light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8

I shared a story about treating everyone with kindness and light even when we don't feel like it.... Sometimes it just takes you to smile or a kind word to turn someone's day

May the holy spirit wrap me your light today!

The Next Chapter

As you know I often pray throughout the day, and moments ago I was reminded that it is in God's time.... Even when we struggle God is healing and guiding us....Jesus said "do not fear, only believe" Mark 5:36

Dear Lord help me to remember to thank you and praise you. And to wait patiently for you...... Amen

The Next Chapter - March 5, 2012

The Next Chapter

Two weeks in..... We are great, but the reality of chaos and a ready made family is a jagged little pill.

Prayers for our journey. Prayers for direction and occupation.

Thought for today:
Abundant life begins when we commit ourselves to following Christ.

Dear Lord, help me admit that I need you in every step.....in Jesus' name.. Amen

The Next Chapter

No sleep, kids in my bed......thoughts in my head.......

I get to work and I can't shake the ADHD / Wayne situation. While opening my laptop bag I find a current upper room.... Yesterday when this started I was feeling overwhelmed and lost in the despair. Back to the Upper Room.... Yesterday's message was Jeremiah 29:11 referring to a story about divorce, today's message is Colossians 3:3 referring to a story about despair! How he meets us were we are and how he holds us and sends people in to help us.
I am so blessed to have Michael, Jamie, Stan, and countless others for the moments and advice!

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you declares the lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you hope and a future.

The Next Chapter

Let go Let God, Michael singing is my theme song today. Struggling with my decision to put Jack on medicine for his ADHD. Fighting with Wayne about it. So not fun. Part time Dad spending my money and judging me for feeding the kids junk food! I am really upset.

I need to let it go....
Let God take it from me. Praying for peace to sleep.
