Faith Words: In His Care

-

Our car broke down on Interstate 30 near downtown Dallas around 4:00 pm Wednesday. The rest of that evening, we tried to come up with a workable plan for getting the car repaired, us to our destination and back home. Through the night, we wrestled with what to do. When we work up Thursday morning, we were still trying to make sense of it. Then, I remembered that I have a Facebook friend who’s a car salesman in Dallas. And all the pieces fell into place. 

God knew we’d need a car and when. And because He knew we’d be out of town, He provided the perfect solution: a Christian car salesman we could trust even though we’d never met him in person. A friend of a friend who’d revealed his Christian character in his Facebook posts. 

That’s how it is with God.  He takes of us before we even  know we need it. We may ever realize how much He does for us in our everyday lives.  His love is amazing!

Loved,

Patrice

Faith Words: January 1, 2012 - A New Beginning

-
A new beginning - how many times have I asked God for a new beginning?  What will I do with this new year?  Will I set goals, make plans to do things I've put off doing in years past?  How can I be sure I'll follow through this year? I've decided to make this year different.  Oh, sure, I'll continue to set goals and make plans, but this year, I want to be more intentional about making the most of each day the Lord gives me.  With God's help, I want to live in today. Today, I resolve to live, really live, whether I have it all together or not.  Today, I resolve to see the value in each day and not wish it away - or worse, waste it.  Today, I resolve to submit to God and what He has planned for me.  No more putting things off till tomorrow.  No more excuses  The time is now.  Today.  A new beginning. So, let's get started.  Faith Words.  Select a scripture. Write it down in an index card spiral or a notebook.  Submit it as a comment to this blog.  Nothing ex

Faith Words: Here Again

-
I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to write again. Without John, I feel hollow and empty, so there were no words to write. But I think I’m ready now.  I started sharing my thoughts and verses to encourage others to memorize God’s word. God’s word is the foundation of our faith, so it seemed to me that writing His word on our hearts was good and would help us stay strong and remain faithful. I still believe that.  I also believe that sharing our faith and sharing the scriptures God writes on our hearts does more than encourage us individually. I believe this sharing builds up our bonds of love: the bonds that strengthen us no matter how many miles lie between us, the bonds that speak encouragement over us when we’re beaten down by life, the bonds that bring us joy when we remind each other of God’s promises.  So let’s do this again. I’m here again and God’s word is still here. Again.  Love, Patrice ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬ The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God end

Questions to Ponder Week #1

-
Hello girls! I know you have to be enjoying the book already and like me, hate to stop reading ahead, but lets take some time to digest the beautifully painted word canvas she has laid out for us so far.  Margaret poses several great questions for this week's reading and I have chosen the following to get our discussion going: Why do you think sheep are mentioned so frequently in the Bible?  Have you changed your beliefs about sheep in general? Just as Lynne knows her sheep, God knows us.  How does it make you feel to know that God knows you so well?  Excited? Fearful? Encouraged? Intimidated? Talk back when you can - Love, Iris
