Peace

"You will keep in perfect peace

him whose mind is steadfast,

Because he trusts in you."

Isiah 26:3

Lord Your love

is the branch of hope I cling to....

In the rising tide

In the restless wind,

In the gathering storm,

You are my peace.

I have a peace tonight. Even after another day of testing, I feel good about things.

I know God is in control of my life, my comings in and my going out.

He is the head of my home, he is the steadfast presence by my side.

Tonight as we made our way home, I became very ill, but I made it into the house, got to my chair and that is where I sat.

For a couple of hours.

My sister tells me "You can not check out", Well Sis I have no intention of doing that. I am a fighter. I am small but I am powerful and I have a Great Big God that is in control.

Whatever he has for my life is what I am willing to do.

Do we toss that around here? Yes we do. Not often but reality must often be faced and dealt with.

However we have no reality at this moment. We have no answers and I feel optimistic about the answers to come.

I really do.

You lose the battle when you lose your hope.

I Never give up. I refuse defeat.

I will go out with my body used up and slide into heaven yelling Whoo Hoo!!!!!

I have my garden plans for the summer, I have my pool time planned, I have my rose garden that calls me and seeing the daffodils each morning gives my spirit a huge life.

The bright yellow blooms are so beautiful. Like sun on a dark day. They just make me smile.

Just look around you can find the beauty of God in everything, Sometime we have to look deep as clouds can cover our eyes and hearts, but he is there.

Waiting somewhere in the shadows.

Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Jesus

He is the one who always hears and understands.

Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find him

And you will know him by the nail scars in his hands,
