Choose Joy!

Every day while living on this earth I make a CHOICE.

I feel most joyful when I choose to believe in God our Creator and in His good promises, as revealed to us in the Bible. I choose right now to believe His beautiful promises for me and for all my dearly beloved family members.

A Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I confess my faith in You today. Please forgive my sins and please help me today to choose my thoughts wisely. Help me take those actions You will show me to do, in faith.

God’s Promises are setting us free now. Believe them!

The following verses are from the New International Version (NIV):

He Himself is our Peace. [Ephesians 2:14]

We know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him. [Romans 8:28]

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you. I have summoned you by name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. [Isaiah 43:1-2]

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. [Psalm 23:4]

As for me, I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice. Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken. [Psalm 55:16, 17 & 22]

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in You. [Isaiah 26:3]

God's Time

One important lesson I'm learning by studying Noah and the Ark: Everything happens in God's time. Impatience on our part is futile. God is in charge of the whole operation. When we finally acknowledge that and begin to cooperate with God's Plan, doing whatever part is ours to do, good things begin to happen. It all flows. When I began to write this, the Eastern Seaboard of the United States was being deluged with non-stop rain from the effects of a hurricane. Even today, the news is filled with heart-breaking stories of human suffering. Yet, I believe there is cause for hope. I believe our Creator will soon end the rain and dry the land. Good things are coming!

For You, the Reader

Welcome to your safe place! I hope these heart-felt messages will encourage those of you who feel you're going down for the last time. I know it feels scary to be in that spot; I've been there. However--whether or not you believe in the original Creator, I encourage you to read further. My suggestion is, like they say at Al Anon: “Take what’s good and leave the rest.” You may just discover a loving Higher Power has been holding you up all this time. Hey— you’re still here! Finding my way “home”—to finally feeling I was in a safe place—took time.  I’m learning to take the risk to be open to a closer relationship with those who have proven they genuinely love and value me. Without the love and compassion, patience and ongoing forgiveness of my two children, my life would have been…well, I can’t imagine how much harder it would have been. Much colder and lonelier. My "Lifetime Movie" would show me eventually learning how to feel safe and okay, even during major

Lessons from Joseph: To God Be The Glory!

Joseph’s faith became a kind of Ark , a place of safety for his family, when a seven-year famine hit Egypt and the surrounding areas. Joseph’s faith in God never changed despite the many difficulties he went through, difficulties which might have caused a less courageous, less determined person to fall away from God. But Joseph’s firm faith paid off when God finally placed him in the high position of “prime minister” over Egypt . In this role, the faith-filled Joseph was able to ensure the survival of the Egyptian people and also preserve the lives of his own father and brothers and their families. I’ve learned many life-changing lessons from Joseph’s faith. FIRST : When God gives you a dream, hold onto it! D on’t let anyone talk you out of the blessings God has planned for you. Even if it takes a long time, know that God’s timing is perfect, and you will receive every good thing God promised you. Joseph was only 17 when his brothers sold him into slavery. He was carted off
