Friends, I am in a valley right now. Very much so, in fact. There are some hard things that we're facing as a family, but gratefully, we face them together, as a family. That much we have. And God. Yes, sweet, Abba Father God. I don't know how much I'll be blogging, but these few verses were such a comfort to me, and for this time, at least, they are my life verses.
Much better than the 1/3 of a pizza, 3 pcs of crazy bread, glass of rootbeer, glass of wine and cookie dough with which I doused the flames yesterday. I just had to share them. May they be of comfort to you, as well, if you're struggling. And if you're in a good place-amen! May they remind you that it's He who deserves the praise.
2 Samuel 22:31-33"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the
LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all
who take refuge in him. For
who is God besides the LORD? And who
is the Rock except for our God?
It is God who arms tme with
strengthand makes my way perfect."
Soli Deo Gloria!

Oh, friend, I'm sorry you're journeying through the low places right now. I'm praying that God will continue to encourage and comfort you with His Words of life and hope and peace.

I hate those valleys....but at the same time I am so thankful for them....afterwards of'course;o} I know that God is in the valleys as well as on the mountaintops.
Oh, girlie, I'm feelin' ya' on this one. It seems like once I'm (rarely) at peace in my life, my friends go through times like these. I just hate it!
I'll toss these your way: Psalm 3:3, Psalm 4:8, Psalm 69, and Zephaniah 3:17.
I've been thinking a lot about your kiddos, esp. David. Hope the school thing is positive this year!
Just remember you're not alone. Your "bluddies" love you and are here for you whenever you pop on, and sweet Jesus can go places with you that no one else can. Take care, and hang in there!
**BIG SMOOCHES!!**
p.s. -- Thx for loving me despite my ridiculous political ranting and raving! haha!!
Praying for you now, my friend.
And welcome back. :)
Happy you are back- I miss ya! I am so sad to hear that you are in a hard place right now. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family as God brings you to my heart. Thank you for sharing the verses with us - what a comfort. Sending hugs from Texas!
