Complete Surrender

August 5, 2010

I am discovering , admitting, confessing some things about myself lately, partly through my studies and more importantly I believe I am being guided to look at myself by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I am admitting to myself, and now to you also that I am “gulp” a long way from complete surrender. I pray that I will increasingly be willing to completely surrender all that I am and all that I have to God.

I mentioned yesterday that I am painfully under construction. It’s painful because I have to exam my beliefs. I say I trust God completely. If that is a true statement then why am I so unwilling to completely surrender myself, my time, my things etc. Don’t’ get me wrong, I do partial surrender and I do that fairly often, but complete surrender is acting out what I say I believe to the fullest.

It’s scary and it shouldn’t be. You see I do believe with every ounce of my being that God will take care of me, the hard part is what about all my ‘stuff’ and all the things I like and what about my comfort?? There!! Does that give you a clearer picture of where I’m at? It’s pretty sad. I am reminded of a certain rich young ruler.

Let me insert here, I know that it is not wrong to have money, wealth or possessions. The problem is when our possessions rule our life, as in the case of the young ruler. Wealth and possessions can trick us into believing we are self- sufficient and that we don’t need God. Jesus told the young ruler to “follow me.” To follow Jesus we must deny-self.

What does surrendering look like? Here are a few examples.

Luke 9:23-26 “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat — I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?  (from THE MESSAGE)

Phil 1:20-22 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. NIV

Heb 11:8-10 By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God’s call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left he had no idea where he was going. By an act of faith he lived in the country promised him, lived as a stranger camping in tents. Isaac and Jacob did the same, living under the same promise. Abraham did it by keeping his eye on an unseen city with real, eternal foundations — the City designed and built by God. (from THE MESSAGE)

2 Cor 5:11-15 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. NIV

Rom 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV

Andrew Murray wrote — God does not ask you to give the perfect surrender in your strength, or by the power of your will; God is willing to work it in you.

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed — not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence — continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Phil 2:12-13 NIV

So I ask you, is absolute surrender possible?

Mark 9:23 “Everything is possible for him who believes.” NIV

Acceptance

June 9, 2010

After the age of nine, I grew up with a lot of insecurities. Those of you who are regular readers know my history and likely understand the reasons for those insecurities and lack of self-esteem. Besides the “secretive” things I endured in my own home I also endured many hurtful words from other children. I was a “chunky” kid and I had a big gap between my front teeth and big black bushy eyebrows which looked like two oversized caterpillars sitting on my face. (Groucho Marx eye-brows) Rarely did some kid miss the opportunity call me fatty or some other equally hurtful insult. I soon learned to hate myself and most everything about myself. I desperately wanted people to like me, and at some point I realized I could make people laugh with my clowning around or with a good joke. I covered up my hurt with humor.

I was well into my late 30’s, early 40’s before I began gaining back my self-esteem and leaving behind the insecurities that had haunted me for most of my life. I attribute all of this to the seeds of truth which were planted in me, took hold and grew into a strong faith and to my growing in grace and knowledge and also, to Larry, my second husband, who taught me what true love is all about.

I still suffer occasional bouts of insecurity; however they are much less frequent. I have so many wonderful people in my life who I know love me “just the way I am”, who accept me with my imperfections.

Love truly does cover a multitude of sins!

I will never forget that hurting, sad little girl, because of her I am drawn to people who are hurting and struggling and I try my best to build them up and let them know they are loved.

We all long to be loved; don’t miss an opportunity to share your love with others.

God says to every person deformed by sin, “I wish you were my son” or “I wish you were my daughter.”

Without love, we are nothing!

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor 13:1-13

Removing the Veil

June 2, 2010

Paul knew that everything he said or wrote was likely to be distorted by false teachers. False teachers who claimed to be apostles were challenging his authority and integrity. In his letter to the Corinthian church he reminds them why they don’t need letters of recommendation. He wrote – Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?  2 Cor 3:1

He then reminds them of this -You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.  You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 2 Cor 3:2-3

He also reminds them – Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God.  Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant — not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Cor 3:4-6

The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God!  In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! 2 Cor 3:7-11

Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand. But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. 2 Cor 3:12-18  

Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up. We reject all shameful deeds and underhanded methods. We don’t try to trick anyone or distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor 4:1-6

This reminds me not to lose heart, the same power that raised Christ from the dead enables us to face difficulties.

If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us. As it is, there’s not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we’re not much to look at. We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken. What they did to Jesus, they do to us — trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in us — he lives! Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus’ sake, which makes Jesus’ life all the more evident in us. While we’re going through the worst, you’re getting in on the best! We’re not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, “I believed it, so I said it,” we say what we believe. And what we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive. Every detail works to your advantage and to God’s glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise! So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever. 2 Cor 4: 7-18

Because Today Your’re Going to Need a Father

May 12, 2010

This article is from our bulletin this past Sunday, Mothers Day, it was written by Russell Hill our minister. If you know Russell, you know he has a heart that is on fire for the Lord. He loves us and always encourages us. We are truly blessed to have him. I have read The Shack twice and loved it and I love Russell’s thoughts here. Enjoy…

If you have read The Shack, you’ll remember what “Papa” was like in the beginning. The main character, Mack, had a horrific event in his life that caused him to be bitter towards “Papa” a.k.a. God. Like so many of us that go through tragedy, Mack was holding “Papa” responsible. As the book unfolds, Mack is brought into the presence of the trinity and taken through a healing process. When Mack first meets “Papa”, God is VERY different than our traditional thinking. God is portrayed as a woman. I’ll have to confess as I read The Shack, I struggled with the way God was portrayed. I picture God as a mighty warrior that makes John Wayne look like a sissy, not a tender compassionate mother figure.

If I remember correctly, when Mack first meets “Papa”, he also struggled with God being a woman. “Papa” simply replied back to Mack, I am like this today because this is what you need me to be.

As Mack’s journey continues and healing takes place, his love for Papa grows deep and wide. One morning when Mack meets with “Papa”, he finds God standing next to him as a dignified older man. Before Mack can ask why he appeared differently, “Papa” gently said, “because today you’re going to need a father.” Let those words sink in – “because today you’re going to need a father.”

Let me share with you a thought that seems very inconsistent, “God never changes yet God is always changing.”

It is true God never changes. He says that numerous times. (Mal. 3:6 and Heb. 5:16-18) And yet God is always changing!

 He meets us where we are with what we need. Sometimes we need a warrior to fight for us and other times we need a healer to mend us. Sometimes we need a teacher to instruct us and other times we need a friend to cry on. Sometimes we need a father to discipline us and other times we need a mother to comfort us. God knows what we need and says to us “today you’re going to need a _________” (you fill in the blank!)

A.W. Tozer wrote, an infinite God can give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

And in that giving He changes himself into whatever role is most needed at that moment to redeem us even if it means changing himself to flesh!

Father, thank you that you are both unchanging and ever changing. As we express our love today for our mothers, would you help us to praise you for the words in Isaiah, “that you will carry us in your arms and dandle us on your knees as a mother does her children.” Amen.

Faithfully Yours,

Russell

My Power is Made Perfect in Weakness

April 30, 2010

This is from the devotional Jesus is Calling by Sarah Young
When some basic need is lacking – time, energy, money – consider yourself blessed. Your very lack is an opportunity to latch onto Me in unashamed dependence. When you begin a day with inadequate resources, you must concentrate your efforts on the present moment. This is where you are meant to live – in the present; it is the place where I always await you. Awareness of your inadequacy is a rich blessing, training you to rely wholeheartedly on Me.

The truth is that self-sufficiency is a myth perpetuated by pride and temporary success. Health and wealth can disappear instantly, as can life itself. Rejoice in your insufficiency, knowing that My Power is made perfect in weakness. James 1:2; 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB)

Don't Throw Away Your Confidence

March 22, 2010

I have noticed with myself and others that it seems as if our faith is unshakable when things are running smoothly, when there is enough money to pay the bills and maintain a household, when our health is good and when everything seems to be blue skies and sunshine. We can be God’s biggest fans when things are going the way we think they should be. What happens then when the applecart is upset?

There have been periods in my life when hardships and anguish have made me feel like throwing my hands up and saying what’s the use, or I quit, or I just can’t do this anymore. (If we were in the same room I would ask for a show of hands to see if any of you have ever felt like this). I believe losing confidence comes from a combination of discouragement, a faith that isn’t as strong as we thought it was, or unbelief. It can strike all ages and all levels of faith; to the new babe in Christ or the weathered mature soldier; and when those times come, I can imagine Satan standing off to the side doing a victory dance waiting for us to throw in the towel. Why do we suddenly shrink back from God when we should be drawing near? Satan knows our weak areas, he watches for that crack in our armor and he doesn’t waste anytime moving in and fueling our fears.

The writer of Hebrews encourages us against this act of giving up under hardships and trials. Heb 10:35-39 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while, “He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.” But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

How do we keep from shrinking back? We exercise endurance (Heb 12:1) by practicing God’s will and trusting his promises.

When thoughts are consumed by the heaviness of our troubles, when it seems difficult to even draw our breath, we can be in danger of losing our focus, yet that is when we need to turn to God, lean on him and to draw on his strength, and that is exactly what he wants us to do.

Remember this when we fight our battles…Rom 8:31-32 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Unbelief

March 9, 2010

 I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 Do you ever feel like saying this? I do!

With my mouth I say, with God all things are possible and with my doubts I say, help me overcome my unbelief. I fully believe that God can do anything; the unbelief comes in when “I” get involved. If I feel like what I am praying for is too big for me, that’s when I tend to sputter. The minute I take my eyes off of him, that’s when doubt comes knocking!

I remember what Jesus said to his disciples when they asked him why they couldn’t drive the demon out of the boy in Matt 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

I am a Christian and I would not say for one minute that I do not believe in Christ or the power of God, yet the times I approach him in prayer and weakness of faith then I must admit it is unrealistic for me to expect him to do anything for me or the ones I pray for if I ask in doubt. Can I expect favor for my unbelief? What is it I am doubting, his love, and his power?

I recognize my weakness are my worries, my wanting to control situations, these are the things which chokes the Word he put in me. Matt 13:22-23 The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

Still I will keep press on. I will feed on his Word, draw near to him and be made stronger and be thankful that my times of unbelief do not hinder God’s faithfulness. Romans 3:3

And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. Matt 13:58

Abba Father, help me remember that I walk by faith and not by sight, I pray this is Jesus name.

Problems with Nicknames

March 5, 2010


Today’s post is from Devotions for Every Day of the Year written by Sarah Young. The name of the book is Jesus Calling ~ Enjoying Peace in His Presence. I really liked today’s reading and wanted to share it with you.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE. Though many things feel random and wrong, remember that I am sovereign over everything. I can fit everything into a pattern for good, but only to the extent that you trust Me. Every problem can teach you something, transforming you little by little into the masterpiece I created you to be. The very same problem can become a stumbling block over which you fall, if you react with distrust and defiance. The choice is up to you, and you will have to choose many times each day whether to trust Me or defy Me.

The best way to befriend your problems is to thank Me for them. This simple act opens your mind to the possibility of benefits flowing from your difficulties. You can even give persistent problems nicknames, helping you to approach them with familiarity rather that with dread. The next step is to introduce them to Me, enabling Me to embrace them in My loving Presence. I will not necessarily remove your problems, but My wisdom is sufficient to bring good out of every one of them.

Romans 8:28 (AMP) 1 Corinthians 1:23-24

In Honor of Jenny

February 26, 2010


About three weeks ago I became aware of a young thirty-one year old woman named Jenny Bizaillion.
My nephew’s wife posted her name on FB and was requesting prayers for her. She had pneumonia which turned into sepsis.

 
Thousands of people were  praying for Jenny and updates were posted hourly/daily on Care Pages.
https://www.carepages.com/carepages/JennyBizaillionUpdates/patient

I did not know Jenny, yet she touched my life and the lives of countless others. From what I read about her she loved God with all her heart and lived for him to the fullest. Jenny lost her battle with the illness which invaded her body. She leaves a legacy of living the example of Jesus. It seems to me, if this were in another time we might be reading of her in Hebrews Chapter 11, the great chapter of faith.

The following words are from Care Pages. I ask that you continue to pray for her family and her friends.

Posted Feb 22, 2010 5:05pm
Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Jenny Bizaillion passed from this world at 3:38pm.
She was the most beautiful, wonderful friend, perfect mom, devoted sister, loyal daughter, and best wife a person could ever have.

We will see her again.

Her memorial service was live streamed on Richland Hills Church of Christ. You may listen here:  http://www.livestream.com/rhchurch/video?clipId=pla_ffe7fe44-6c7b-470c-b3bf-aa3d448c9056

Posted Feb 26th 9:25am
There are no words to describe yesterday’s experience.

You can’t describe Jonathan declaring in praise, “you give and take away…blessed be your Name!” three days after his sister was taken away…

You could use 1000 words to describe the moment Rick shouted the three words, “Lord, come quickly!” and still never do that moment justice.

And when Josh had us all bow our knees to Jesus as a declaration to our adversary that “we win!” and death has no victory…it was a feast of a foretaste of glory divine! Everyone there (or watching online for that matter) experienced the holiness; we just can’t explain it with mere words.

You can’t describe it but that didn’t stop people from trying. You usually don’t hear the following spoken about funerals…

“It was the best church service I’ve ever been a part of”
“I would have paid $100 to experience that…make that $1,000”
“I wanted to punch satan in the throat!”
“It made me want to go to heaven…right then…like I wished I could of!”
“I’m a college student at UT and drove in from Austin. I don’t know Jenny…in fact I don’t know anyone in the family. I feel like I do now. I’m so glad I came.”
“I’ll be a better wife and mom because of this…because of Jenny.”
“That felt like heaven will feel. I know it.”

Josh spoke yesterday about keeping the Carepage Community going (on a personal side note, I’d be in favor of a Bizaillion/Ross ‘reality’ show because they are about as ‘REAL’ as a family gets and as strong as any family I’ve met. But that’s a subject for a future post) and I don’t know what the family will do in the future with this virtual mega church, but I do know that there is still plenty we can do for the family.

Continue to pray for healing! Not for Jenny – she is completely healed! But pray for the family to be healed. May the hope that Jesse spoke about yesterday…the hope that Jenny walked in daily…heal the hurt, the loss, the pain, the anger, and the deep sadness that fills the family.

Continue to give! With over 12,000 members, I am confident that we can give even more than the $51,000 we’ve already given. With medical bills in the hundreds of thousands, funeral expenses and David’s loss of income due to the past 3 weeks (and the next however many as he and Malaya adjust to life without Jenny), the need is greater than ever. All money we give to the Gregg Pearson Foundation with “GPF Benevolence” in the special instructions goes directly to the Bizaillion family! Keep on giving.

Continue to share this site with friends and family and continue to post your super encouraging messages! The family can use our encouragement in the days and weeks to come every bit as much as they have these past three weeks. At some point every post and every comment will be made into a beautiful (and big!) book for the family. We can only imagine how God will use that book for His glory in the future!

This site was started three weeks ago today. We wanted to as many people praying for Jenny to get out of the hospital as possible. Josh reminded us yesterday that we didn’t get the answer we wanted. But as those of us in attendance witnessed yesterday, Jenny’s family knows that she got into heaven! May we all follow Jenny’s example. After all, she just followed Jesus!

May these words from the song, “Let the Waters Rise” by Mikeschair speak to our spirits today.

Don’t know where to begin
Its like my world’s caving in
And I try but I can’t control my fear
Where do I go from here?

Sometimes its so hard to pray
When You feel so far away
But I am willing to go
Where you want me to
God, I trust You

There’s a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

I will swim in the deep
‘Cuz You’ll be next to me
You’re in the eye of the storm
And the calm of the sea
You’ll never out of reach

God, You know where I’ve been
You were there with me then
You were faithful before
You’ll be faithful again
I’m holding Your hand

There’s a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

God Your love is enough
You will pull me through
I’m holding onto You
God Your love is enough
I will follow You
I will follow You

Ohhh

There’s a raging sea
Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in
Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise
If You want them to
I will follow You
I will follow You
I will follow You

Faith Under Pressure

February 24, 2010

Someone I love with all my heart is experiencing some of the worst trials of their lives and it’s breaking my heart. It is also causing me to do some serious looking within. I feel frustrated and helpless; I am knocking at God’s door as did the persistent widow. I am looking for answered prayers and if they are being answered I’m not recognizing the answers. I’m on the brink of being angry with God and then I am washed in guilt and ask myself, “how dare I be angry with God” and I wait almost rebelliously for him to discipline me. My heart aches, I weep silently, and I am ashamed.

I read in 1 Peter 1 of some of the things I know will come to pass because of Gods great mercy. Having been born of a new birth into a living hope, I have an inheritance that will never decay, which is kept in heaven for me, and by way of my faith is shielded by God’s power. This makes me feel great…but then I read that “though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” WHAT?? WHY?? These have come so that your faith — of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

In the middle of my turmoil, I’m now beyond knocking, I’m beating on God’s door and Satan is beating on mine. I began wondering…is my faith genuine? The battle is on and then the Spirit directs me to James 1:6-8 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

Am I double-minded and unstable in all that I do? Satan would have me believe that I am!

Yes I am hurting, yes I am scared and yes I have wavered, but I have turned to God, I choose to believe, I choose to trust him with all things. I know full well that things may not be resolved the way I’m praying for. Will I understand? No, I won’t, Will it be easy? Probably not! But I will trust God.

Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him. Job 13:15

Those of you who know me understand that if I could share with you what it going on that I would. Perhaps at a later time I will be able to. At this moment it is for the safety of those I love that I cannot. Please pray for all involved, God knows who they are.
