Why do I feel discouraged ......
And long for Heaven and home ....
when Jesus is is my portion ,a constant friend is he...
His eye is on the sparrow ,AND I KNOW HE WATCHES ME!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always loved this song. Its always held a special place in my Heart .
You know I keep having problems come up with taking care of Nada ,( I'm not going in to them all here) but a new one popped up here recently and of course since I am the one with all the responsibility for her of course true to my nature the first thing I began to do was worry .... OH NO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO !!!!!!!!
Oh yes something deep inside me always says give it to God and he will take care of it .
I know this is true but because I still had to do things to help in this problem I felt I wasn't giving it to him ...
see I felt that I couldn't let it go ,but listen to this.
James 2:14-20
14.What doth it profit ,my brethern, though a man say he hath faith ,and have not works? can faith save him ?
15.If a brother or sister be naked ,and destitute of daily food ,
16.And one of you say unto them , Depart in peace ,be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body ;what doth it profit?
17.Even so faith ,if it hath not works , is dead, being alone.
18. Yea,a man may say , Thou hast faith , and I have works:shew me thy faith without thy works ,and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19. Thou believest that there is one God ; thou doest well:the devils also believe ,and tremble .
20.But wilt thou know ,Oh vain man that faith without works is dead.
So yes there are things we can do nothing about but pray .
But we should know that if there are things that we have to take care of in certain situations ,If we have to do certain things to help it doesn't mean that we don't trust God to work . And it doesn't mean that we don't have faith to move in whatever the situation is .
So what have I learned Pray first giving it to God ,do what you have to do to help (if needed ) and watch God do a miracle .
He did for me today ...
And guess what the person said to me that I was having to work with on this problem .
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT .........................................

Who holds the cup?
Are you being called to taste some bitter cup of pain or loss? Are you tempted to push it away? You may be wondering,Is GOD in this situation ? If so ,recall the dark and distressing experince of Jesus and his example on the night of his betrayal.
We must never forget that Jesus was the God -Man ,with both divine and human natures . He therefore recoiled from the prospect of agonizing curcifixion and the ordeal of having the worlds sin heaped on His sinless soul.And worst of all,He shuddered at the thought of being abandoned by His father. So He pleaded ," If it Be possible , let this cup pass from Me" ( Matt 26:39).
Yet after that he said in trustful submission, " Shall I not drink the cup which My father has given me ?" (john 18:11) .
He Knew that the hand ,which would for our redemption hold the cup to His lips, was not the hand of Judas or Caiaphas or Pilate . It was the hand of his loving father intent on redeeming our lost human race.
Baffled by the mystery of such love ,we take our stand on calvary and believe that any cup we drink is held to our lips by the father of fathomless love and wisdom. Our prayer is that of trustful submission because we believe that even life's most bitter cup is held in the Father"s hand.---- Vernon Grounds
I read this today and it blessed me . so I wanted to share it with all who would read my blog.

PEACE
I know that so far that the Lord has led me and directed me to do what thus far I have done to help Nada.I know this because I really didn't know what to do ,so I put her in his hands and waited for him to open the doors and as I felt peace about them I walked though them . Now having said all that I want you guys to pray for Nada to have peace and know that she is where God wants her to be . Her well being and safety (body and soul ) is my only desire.

WORDS FROM DAMON"S BIBLE
These are words that Damon has highlighted in his Bible that I thought I would share with us today.
Psalms 18:2-3
The lord is my rock,and my fortress,and my deliverer;my God,my strength,in whom I will trust;my buckler,and the horn of my salvation,and my high tower.
I will call upon the Lord,who is worthy to be praised :so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Thank you God and thank you Damon for I know that God is my safe place ,his is my deliverer, he is my strength,and I know that I can always trust him no matter what the situation is, good or bad ,he is always there.
God I thank you and Praise you for your goodness ,care and mercy to me and my family. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!
