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

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
