Q is for Quiet...Peace and Quiet

Proverbs 1:32-33King James Version (KJV)

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Dear Friends,
Growing up in church "Blessed Quietness" was one of my favorite songs sung by the Senior Choir. "On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me and the billows cease to roll."  The words gave me such peace.  I could picture peace and quiet.  Jesus speaking to my childhood issues which looking back were problems, some of them not meant for a child to bear.  Jesus was back then and has remained My Hero.  Jesus. I was taught about Him. I heard songs about Him.  I could rest in the comfort and knowledge of His power through years of bullying.  Jesus. He gave me a family who loved me.  Jesus one day He would rescue from the monsters that loomed large on the outside.  Peace and quiet.  Through Jesus I am a witness it is possible even in the the midst of the storm.
Blessed quietness.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

  1. Joys are flowing like a river,
    Since the Comforter has come;
    He abides with us forever,
    Makes the trusting heart His home.
    • Refrain:
      Blessed quietness, holy quietness,
      Blest assurance in my soul!
      On the stormy sea, *Jesus speaks to me, [*He speaks peace to me,]
      And the billows cease to roll.
  2. Everything is turned to gladness,
    All around this glorious Guest;
    Banished unbelief and sadness,
    All is perfect peace and rest.
  3. Like the rain that falls from heaven,
    Like the sunlight from the sky,
    So the Holy Spirit given,
    Falls upon us from on high.
  4. What a wonderful salvation,
    Where we always see His face!
    What a peaceful habitation!
    What a quiet resting place!

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
