Seek the Lord. . .


Isaiah 55:6

All too often we think we have plenty of time to turn to God and live for Him. But this verse reminds us that there will be a day when it will be too late. We should never take for granted that we are in the end times and that our time on earth is short. I'm so glad that we can still call on our Lord today and He hears us and answers.


Blessings to you all this weekend!

    Looks like we're neighbors at Still Saturday -- you linked just before me. Love the Scripture you've chosen for today. We really must be constant in our seeking. Otherwise, we find ourselves distracted and turning in the wrong direction. Love that you are an Ann Voskamp fan too!

      Hi, Sherrey. So glad you stopped over to read my post! I also read your scripture photo and was reminded of a worship song with those words in it. And yes, I absolutely love Ann Voskamp's writing and her website! She has been such an inspiration to me!

    After so much sadness, in the last couple of days, it's a blessing to be here.
    May the families and friends of the shooting know continued strength and love. In Jesus' name, Amen!

    You know, as I wrote posted this, I also thought about the Colorado shooting and how one surviving couple that was interviewed said how it made them think how short and precious life is. Unfortunately they left God out of the interview. I pray the same prayer, that families and loved ones find God's peace in all the loss!

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...
