The Name of the Lord is a Strong Tower

The Righteous run into it and they are safe.

Proverbs 18:10

Posed Perfection: Food for the Soul ~ Proverbs 18:10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe.

Life is not always fun, it's not always as it seems but it is your life to live how you choose.  As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

8 x 10 | "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" print
With all the flooding in TX and OK, the high heat in India, the violence all over the US and paid protesters posing for a wage hike that doesn't even affect them, sticking our heads in the sand isn't going to help.

I will no longer stick my head in the sand but face challenges head on!

I can write here, but honestly, I don't know what to do either.  Social media maybe, telling others our woes maybe.  We already know the government doesn't listen and they take our money. 

So, I will go to the Lord, he hears my pleas, my heartfelt tears of frustration and angst.
God understands our #prayers even when we can't find the words to say them. #quote #faith

When I cry out to him, he does hear me.

This literally brought tears to my eyes! I used to have the book that this expert came from and I read it over and over. I have been so sad that I lost this book and seeing this today was just what I needed #godisgood

When I am weak, he is strong. When I am low, he picks me up.

Because I am more.

Today, I declare blessing over you—that you are strong and courageous. You are full of talent, creativity, and wisdom. You can accomplish your God-given dreams. You walk in divine health. You have favor with every person you meet. Everything you touch is going to prosper and succeed. Those seeds of greatness on the inside of you are growing stronger and stronger. That hidden treasure is about to burst forth and you’re going to come in to new seasons of increase, new seasons of favor, new seasons


As I study for my Master Degree in Christian Education.  I often wonder what will it get me, why do I want it, what is it worth.

It's an interesting subject because as a person who did not do well throughout k-12, it's more than figuring me out.  It's becoming who God designed and made me to be and to help others find who God made them to be.  We learn differently, we adjust to life differently, we even have different make ups and promises.  But one things for sure.  He promised us life and life abundantly.

▪Inside of every one of us is a quiet voice that whispers, “You are more amazing than you know; you are meant for greatness!” ▪“Believe in yourself [and] in your capacity to do great and good things. Believe that you can do whatever it is you set your heart on. [As you do this] opportunities will unfold and open before you[, and] the skies will clear when they have been dark. [Never forget that] you are not destined to [fail]. You are a child of God, of infinite capacity.” –Gordon B. Hinckley

A song we sung one year in summer Sunday School was "Promises", God keeps His promises.  His word is like rock. 

Exodus 14:13-14 This scripture is one I held on to when my world was falling apart. Truth stands forever!

Every day is a new day, not a day like yesterday, not a hard day awaiting you, but a day you choose how to live it.  Just like the beaches, the tide rolls in and wipes away the prints and gives you a clean slate.  His Promises are the same though, yesterday, today and forever.

Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind that you have to convince.
Between you & Jesus

Those voices in my head are not of God!

The Battle is the Lords! A voice somewhere out of nowhere comes and tells you you are not worthy, you need to just leave this earth and it will be better.  The battle of voices rage in your head, who do you believe? The devil or Jesus?  I choose to believe the Lord.  He is the author and finisher of our life, our faith, our cornerstone, our everything.   When the enemy attacks, it's real, it's not imagined.  It's a loud voice in your head that just seems to repeat itself!  These attacks come when fear starts to creep in.  Fear is from an unknown source that seems like it knows why the fear, but the attacks, man! Fear is not real, it is imagined and its foundation crumbles, it has nothing but a grip and you can release it.  It may seem powerful, but I tell you it is not!  You can control your thoughts!  We have to take back what the devil steals!  Every. Single. Time!  I don't need a drug for this. I ju...

Preparations

In everyone's life, it takes prep work to take on a new job, a new outlook, a new hobby, a new pet, a new child, or a new way of living.  For us it's no different. We are on the move every few months, sometimes every six months these days.  We need to prepare for the move, we need to see what the area is like, we need to find the Wal-mart and sometimes we have found a local church.  This time seems a bit different though. We have a Pastor's conference at Perry Stone's.  He is an evangelist and God has done and continues to do an incredible work in this man.  Here is the link to his site.  Perry Stone    His site is loaded with a great deal of learning.  He also hosts and does Manna Fest on TV. Here is what we will be learning there: IN 2011 I AM ADDING MANY NEW INSIGHTS AND INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR INSTITUTE Your Personal Life The power of fasting and learning how to pray to receive answers from God The battle with temptation, depressio...

Waiting/Wading in the UNTILS until .... part 2.

Hello, Welcome back.... So, in the last post about the UNTILS, we left with the scriptures in our hands and hopefully in your heart as well.  But I felt that there is more to our story than just the scripture.  I know, for me, there is more to this story.   I have always been a planner, I guess one could say wading in the UNTILS.   I love planning but what I have realized over the course of this past year is that wading in the UNTILS doesn't really allow GOD free Reign in our lives.  "Man plans his ways but the LORD directs their steps and makes them sure."   We know when we get ahead of God, He can make us flip on a dime.  He has and sometimes we have had to eat the change.  As RVers, our years and seasons begin to blend together.  Maybe for you too.  We have been living the RV life twice.  Once for about 2 years.  In the first years, Steve was deeply in debt, most would see NO WAY OUT!  But we got out of i...
