  Beast of burden

  Isaiah 46:1- Bel bows down, Nebo stoops low; their idols are borne by beasts of burden. Isaiah 46:6,7: Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales; they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god, and they bow down and worship it. Th...

    Lorna Smetak I liked this one. You got me on 2 things. Smoking and Football. I make time with Jesus by music and bible verses during the week days. The biggest thing is bitting the tongue when something goes wrong with a play.

    Jeffrey Smith Ha! I promise I wasnt trying to get you! I too love football, and I was a smoker. I hope that wasnt condemning. I just felt the Lord lead me to share this. Thank you so much for the feedback Lorna!
    Blessings to you.

    Lorna Smetak No, it wasn't condemning at all. It made me feel good to know that i am not going to hell for smoking which i deal with everyday. Worrying. I greatly appreciate you saying that. Thank you again. Blessings to you as well.

My story is one of wavering faith through out life and a Father who never gives up on his children. Through many storms in life God has proven over and over again to me that he is in the drivers seat and I am in good hands. He has carried me through fear, doubt, failure, success, loss, feelings of abandonment, mental health and back, so much more.... So many times in life God has shown me to trust in his plan and know his plans are for our good and a hope for a future in him. This particular season in my life has me stepping out in faith to know that God will provide regardless of the fact that he lead me from a hostile job environment and into the peace of healing and waiting. When God's timing is right he will open that door of opportunity and guide me to where he wants me to be gainfully employed and until then I will be content that I have more quality time praising his name and serving a great and awesome God who provides well for his faithful children Thank you for sharing with us.

  Who are we listening to?

  2nd Timothy 1:7-For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
  Go boldly into anything you face. Experience often dictates our fears and our aversions to things that are valuable. You would think the ...

What I love about my Jesus, he knew exactly what my heart desired..love, peace,hope, validation, so when I think about his goodness and all he restored in me...my faith in never up for discussion. I was pondering on this yesterday, when my God reminded, that he pulled me from the hell that was living in my head. I won't be going again.
