A Thought for Our Thoughts

"The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts."

Psalm 10:4

>>> Is God in all of my thoughts???

Proverbs 16:3

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."

>>> Do I daily commit all of my thoughts, my whole heart, unto God???

A Field Trip

Today, I'm scheduled to go on a "field trip" to visit a potential client - a referral that unexpectedly came in, just when I decided to stop working full time. If this is God's will, this will be my first independent contractor consulting gig if all pushes through...only by His grace. May I humbly be filled with His Spirit the entire time I'm there.

"The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He added no sorrow with it."
Proverbs 10:22

I shall never be moved."

"LORD, by the favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled."

A Song From My Husband

Last month, I wrote a song for my husband.

This month, my one true love wrote a song for me. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful husband!

- - - - -

When I reflect on the day we met I never ever look back and regret.
We were both unassuming and looked at each other as no threat.
That day I will never forget when our eyes first met on the sandy beach that was moon lit.

The waves crashing along the shores.
The canoes parked on the sand without oars.
Our lips touching attracting tours
Eyes glancing admiring our amour.

I will never forget
I will never forget
I praise God that we met
I Love You
I Love You

Our first drives along the shorelines edge
The hedge of dark calm water bordering the ledge
We almost drove in turned the wheel
Sliding back in
We drove along that shore
Our lives as two no more, no more.

The mountains in the shadowy light.
Holding my arm you escaped your fright.
Driving we did through that starry night
Noticing the night canvas we did delight
In God's amazing creations what a sight, what a sight.

I will never forget
I will never forget
I praise God that we met
I Love You
I Love You

Standing in the Tuscan sun.
Our lives as one had just begun.
Promising to God and in front of everyone
You are my Love you are my Only special someone.

I smile
You laugh
You talk
I listen
Through our marriage the Holy Spirit glistens.
When we are apart I am always missin

I will never forget
I will never forget
I praise God that we met
I Love You
I Love You

I praise God that we met
I hope to never forget....

You are God's gift to me!

Looking Back At My 20's

Now that I'm in my 30's, I wish I had put this into practice in my 20's.

By God's grace, it's never too late to start over.

And this time, starting over means walking with Him.

"Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof,
when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame."
Proverbs 25:8

On Fear, Safety, Strength, and Peace

Oftentimes, I find myself guilty of placing my fear, safety, and strength in the wrong areas.

"The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe."
Proverbs 29:25

"Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD."
Proverbs 29:26

"The LORD will give strength unto His people;
the LORD will bless His people with peace."
Psalm 29:11

Ahhh...

Peace...

True peace can only be found in the LORD.

A Loving Favor

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,
and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
Proverbs 22:1
