Keep Going




"Knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience."
      -  James 1:3

 Dear Friends,

 I have been working on today's blog entry for quite a while.  The scripture lesson today is a living reality for me. Right now, in this moment the Lord is reminding me of the importance of patience.

 It has been eight months today since my sister passed.  I wanted
to post as part of today's entry a portion of a song she sang at the Pastor and Wife's Anniversary celebration she and her husband attended in December 2014.  I kept trying over and over to figure out how to upload and attach the song.  I could not figure it out.
Perhaps one day.  It was not God's will today.

 However,  the memory of my sister and the strength of her voice that Sunday afternoon resonates with me, "I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood, I know it was the blood for me.  One day when I was lost, He died upon the cross. I know it was the blood for me.  He's coming back again.  He's coming back again. He's coming back again. He's coming back again for me. One day when I was lost, He died upon the cross. I know it was the blood for me."

 The assurance and conviction enabled Gretchen to keep going.
Her faith was tried. Yet, she patiently waited with great anticipation for the Savior to come back for her.  She was not disappointed.

 Keep going.  Keep believing.  The blood still works.  One day when
we were lost, He died upon the cross.  I know it was the blood for you and for me.

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “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.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
