Oh my…two months have passed since my last post?! Time is flying! Thanksgiving is this week, and soon it will be Christmas. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to say Thank You to all the single ladies, and also guest writers, for your words of encouragement, inspiration, wisdom, and truth. Thank you, Amie and Martha, for getting this wonderful Revolution off the ground! It is a joy to know all of you ladies and to read your posts. For those of you I haven’t met, I look forward to meeting you, one day!
For this post, I just want to share a Praise: I am feeling so much better. My last post, though optimistic (I think?) was heavily influenced by the way I was feeling…poopy (I’m running with the letter ‘p’ right now). I had been sick and wasn’t sleeping well, and I said so in my post. Soon after posting that particular blog, “WOE IS ME!” became my attitude and outlook as I stayed sick and maintained a horrible attitude. I had many wonderful ladies (and a few gentlemen) praying for me. Thank you very much! And thank God, I am no longer in that funk. He is teaching me things from my “suffering” (I hesitate to classify my problems as suffering) that will stick with me for life….If only I will remember! Our God is so faithful!
Resist him [Satan, our adversary], firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. – 1 Peter 5:9, ESV
As long as I’m using words that begin with the letter ‘p’…I have been reminded, in a big way, that I am Precious. I am Prized. You are, too! For now, I’d like to leave you with verses that I’ve found encouraging in the past weeks. I’m working out a post for Wednesday, so don’t go too far!!
Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. – Luke 12:7, ESV
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:6-7, ESV
(How comforting – a man big enough to handle alllllll of our lady-problems!)
...in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. – Psalm 57:1, ESV
and
…for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. – Psalm 63:7, ESV
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. – Psalm 40:2-3, ESV
Until Wednesday...
Going Green!
