From pressure to peace

Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.


There are days when I get so wrapped up in my "life", and the craziness that surrounds me that I tend to lose my way and I forget why I am here.
"Mommy, she hit me."
"Honey, what's for dinner?"
"Can you head up that committee"?

When I slow down for just a moment and listen, I am able to hear the quiet whispers of my Lord. "You are My prize, you are My love, your are My great design and I'm right here by your side. So grow in Me, desire Me and remember that you are treasure of the most High God." (words from a song by Andy Garcia)

Each one of us was made with a purpose and a plan. God knit each one of us into our mothers womb, and he has called you and I for such a time as this. We get to make a choice daily. Do we choose to plug into the Powersource that feeds us, fuels us and points us in the right direction moment by moment, or do we face the day on our own
determined to power through in our own strength?

Take it from me, starting my day in the Word and coming to my Lord in constant prayer is the only way that I am able to make it through the day without anyone getting hurt.

The word that I have been getting from my Lord over the last several weeks has been a topic that I have never even thought about before. If you have a little bit of time, I encourage you to watch this podcast that was recommended to me. It might change the way that you handle your husband and your marriage.

Simply go to www.newspring.cc. It is a series entitled Beautiful Part 3. It is an interview with author and speaker Shaunti Feldhan. You can forward through the worship if you'd like, but don't miss the message because it just might change your life.

Have a blessed month!!
