my thoughts for today

there is strength in waiting.
there is joy in the morning.
there is peace is in the meantime.
there is hope in the end.

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord

This was yesterday's verse in my devotion...and when I jsut read it in this version...it meant just as much or more to me now in my present situation. I guess because it had verse 3-5 with it also...so I know God has not let us go and it all has to be in his timing...His timing is not early, his timing is not late...but right on time...even we don't understand and life just sucks!

Philippians 1:6 (The Message)
3-6Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart. I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God's Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

This morning though I read in my same devotion book Jeremiah 29:11. How many times growing up did we hear this verse...but this morning the plans for peace and hope...stood out to me like it never had before.

Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified Bible)
11For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

I want you to know you are being prayed for and aren't going through this alone.

The small things

So lately I have been real distracted with just business and it has caught up with me, my health, and my job. I am having to make some decisions and just to set back. But through it all I have realized who mean the most to me and who I know will always be there. It is nothing like the small things in life that you just can't live without...but you take forgranted all at the same time. For those of you who know who you are..

Thank you for loving me, believing in me, pushing me, saving me, encouraging me, praying for me, most of all...jsut being there for me.
