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

Philippians‬ ‭4:19 NIV

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Faith Words: Change

-
Change - It's constant.  Some change I like.  Some I don't.  Change takes work.  But I need changing.  I certainly don't want to stay like I am forever.  A couple of weeks ago, we sang a song during worship that goes:  "Ancient words ever true, changing me and changing you."  That's the kind of change I need - the change only that God's Word can make in my heart. If I let Him, what change could God make in me?  Where would He start?  Where could He take me?  Will I stay changed?  Lord, give me the courage and strength - day by day - to choose You.  Lord, change me! Patrice Psalm 51:10 (NIV) Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit in me.

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. Wr...

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
