no fear



Ele and Lex have a new boy in their class.  He has had a brain injury, Ele told me, and said it happened because he had almost drown when he was 3 or 4.  Ele and I have spent quite some time discussing how she needs to befriend him because he is new and even though he may not be able to voice his anxiousness he still needs friends.  Ele is naturally bashful so it is hard for her, but we have been talking about what Jesus would want her to do and to do the right thing.
 I keep thinking of his parents.  Ele told me they are divorced. We think of our busy lives rushing here and there but then something new lands on our plate and we adapt.  God gives us the ability to bear the extra burden and keep keeping on.  I cannot imagine something happening to those I love and tear up thinking about it.

 So for today....no fear.  I go get my stitches out, find out when the pin comes out of my finger, when my nail(s) fall off, and if they will grow back.  I shrug and say well....if they don't grow back I don't have to worry about paintin them!  I'll wear falsies like I did when my lashes had their issues.  See....fear.  We fear all of these types of things....How is our job, money, kids, animals, family, friends, relationships, car, future expenses, we can go on and on....but worry and ultimately fear is guiding us.

 So for today....no fear.  Pray.  When the devil puts these worries in our heads, acknowledge it, then say NOOOO you will NOT do this for I am NOT ALONE.  The Bible says:
 "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. (Isaiah 41:10)"

 How many times have we worried about something, that didn't come true, or something that at the time it happened seemed depressing, ominous, and borderline tragic to us only to see that when it was over we were blessed.  It happens every day in our lives....WE ARE BLESSED!  I say again, "DO NOT FEAR, FOR WE ARE BLESSED!"  Have a great day yall, and the Glory be to God!

mouse

A girl I work with's daughter was in the Mexican resturant eating when she felt something lick and nibble her foot. She looked under the table and saw...yep you guessed it....a mouse. She screams, kicks the mouse and looks and the mouse can't run...she's broke it's leg. So the waiters got the mouse, and she got her meal for free, but she couldn't eat it! haha! Moral of the story. Wear shoes in that resturaunt, cause the food may be raw. haha! Couldn't resist! Have a great weekend! God Bless!

strength

Some days we don't feel as though we have the strength to do much of anything.  To get up, to eat, to not eat, to fight the daily battle of traffic, work, or relationships....why?  Mainly because we lose our confidence.  Our confidence in the ability to "handle" things.  Remember the verse: "I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13.    We have talked before about how we are not alone, but we have not discussed how the devil attacks our confidence in the ability to achieve.  The ability that when we are doing what the Lord wants we can accomplish it through Him...not alone.  Repeatedly through the Bible God says that he will not forsaken us for he is with us.  If you have a doubt about something, first is it something that God wishes, second if it is then know that the devil is in play...including the attempted breakdown of your inner strength.  After you realize that keep telling yourself that God is with you and you have the
