The Secret place...

-
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalms 91:1-2

Cloudy day yesterday, took this photo about mid-day when the sun is at its highest... a thought came...a cloudy sky does not keep the sun from shining.
We all know that behind the clouds the sun is still shining, the clouds may hinder our view of the sun but the sun remains the same.
Though cloudy days may change our outlook, the sun just keeps right on shining. Our view may change but the sun does not.
You may be in a situation right now where your view, your outlook on life seems hopeless; seems there is no way out and things will never get better. Psalms 91 speaks of being in a "secret place" with God, where you can abide under His shadow and be protected. That "secret place" just may be when your life is so full of clouds and the sun seems invisible, but you keep on believing that in spite of how it may look...the sun is still shining. It may seem that God is not there, but He is, because He never changes. He is ALWAYS there being Who is, being our protector and loving us with an everlasting love.
Have hope, even on the cloudy days. We don't have to sing that song "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" as cute and catchy as it may be, I hate to tell you, its not true... because the sun is already here...HE is always here !

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seekin...

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.” -Helen Keller While riding around in my neighborhood I noticed that many yards and gardens were adorn with beautiful sunflowers. They stood tall and cheery above all the other plants and flowers with their bright yellow "faces" seemingly bathing in the summer sun...they make me smile.  So even though I did not plant any sunflowers in my yard or garden I did do a bit of decorating with some faux. (will attach pics at the end of this post.  But for now here are some facts about this cheery fun flower ...   •The stem of a sunflower can grow up to 10 ft tall and the flower head can be 11.8 in wide. •Sunflowers are very fast growing plants, in the right conditions they can grow 8-12 feet tall in six months. •As of 2012, the Guinness World Record for the tallest sunflower is 27 ft for a sunflower grown in Germany. •Famous Dutch painter Vi...

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more co...
