Snow Storm and a Big Job!

Zephaniah 3:17 (New International Version)

17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

Because of the snow storm that moved in and left us with 7 inches of snow, we were housebound on this Lords Day. Actually since Thursday hubby and I have been home with lots of projects. When we bought our house a few years ago, the little woman before us loved wallpaper and it was everywhere. So we have been on a mission ever since to remove it. Oh my what a job! but we are getting there. At first it was proving to be a really big job and both of us were getting a little frustrated, but the Lord was teaching both of us patience. The thought came to me that we are supposed to take care of what God gives us. This changed the focus and we began just to "get it done". With some praise and worship music and three days later, we are well on our way of having things back in order. Whatever we do must be done unto the Lord, and it must be done in love. This is a choice we make, make it either better or harder! To know my God loves me and takes delight in me with rejoicing, well there is nothing more wonderful. As you tackle this week ahead, I pray for strength and encouragement to do His will. Be blessed my friends!

Psalm 25:5 (New International Version)

5. guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.


I pray you are having a Sensational Saturday! This is the day the Lord has made, I will (by choice) rejoice and be glad in it! We do make a choice every day to follow Jesus, or not! There will be times when we just don't feel like it, or when something big happens, we may have to have a little time to just sit before the Lord. Just this very week, we had something major to happen. Now hubby immediately has a handle so to speak on things, his faith just kicks in! But, it takes me a little while, my first question to the Lord is, "what is going on here, I don't understand this at all." God is so amazing that the scriptures start coming and reassuring me He is in control of the situation. So after awhile of wrestling with the thing, I begin to settle down. Oh my, I just would like to get past that! I do believe if we stay in fellowship with our Heavenly Father and grow in the knowledge of His Word, I will trust Him more and more and my reactions will get better. If you have had some of this fiery trials this week, just look to the author and finisher of your faith. He will not let you down!
