He Never Let's Go

Blessings...

I've been thinking about blessings today. The Lord has blessed me beyond measure. That is not to say I have everything I've ever wanted, but I have a husband, family, and friends that love me. We have a comfortable house, food to eat, cars to drive, and jobs to pay for what we need. Not everyone can say all of that...I know. 

I.Am.Blessed. 

I could go on and on about how the Lord has blessed me daily. There are little things that we take for granted every day that is the Lord showing me how much He loves me. I believe that with all of my heart. 

As I type this, I have pandora.com playing in the background. Matt Redmond's song "You Never Let Go" is the current selection. I can't think about blessings without thinking about how the Lord has always taken care of me. This song does a great job of speaking to that. 

Whatever situation you are going through, look for the Lord. If you are His child, He is always at work in your life in different ways. Sometimes it seems like He is nowhere to be found. That is not because He wants distance from you. That usually means you have distanced yourself from Him. When you feel like that, read His word, and pray for that relationship to be restored. He wants nothing more than to bless you and have a relationship with you.

 
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
 I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous
 right hand."
Isaiah 41:10

 Here is a portion of the lyrics to Matt Redmond's song:

                                                            You Never Let Go

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

Some Days Drama Finds You

Some days there is drama. You don't have to look for it, it finds you. Sometimes, you try to do what you think is the right thing, only to find out you have upset someone without meaning to do so.  How do you handle these situations? There are times when you want to run away and NOT deal with it. That's not very practical in most cases, though. Pretending like an uncomfortable situation does not exist does not make it go away. You have to deal with it.  What are some ways to deal with conflict? Prayer - always and in every situation! Listen to the other person Make sure you are communicating properly - miscommunication is usually a big cause for issues Try to see the other person's side of the situation - there are always two sides and yours is not always right Recognize mistakes your have made and try to rectify them Don't get emotional! Keep your cool... Stick to the actual issue - Don't bring up past issues that have nothing to do with it.  Sometim...

Being Kind May Improve Your Day

Kindness. It can make a big difference in your experiences in life. If someone shows you kindness, it may make a bad situation better or a good situation even better. Besides, it is just a good thing - ALWAYS. I told you a few posts back about the stranger that made our day better. Because he had a kind heart and was willing to help, we weren't stranded at the Home Depot for very long at all. It very easily could have been all day. That kindness made a bad situation better...definitely! Kay, at the post office where I ship the packages for my Etsy store, goes out of her way to try to help me. I, therefore, go out of my way a lot of days to go to HER post office. I make sure I fill out the survey and give her an excellent rating (she says it helps her - I asked). I try to return her kindness in some way that will really help her. Speaking of packages...I try to be extra kind to the delivery people that come to my work. They have a hard job. I strike up mini conversations with...

Answers to Prayers

You know, sometimes in life it is easy to get discouraged. It's easy to let burdens weigh you down. You feel like God is not listening when you pray. I'm here to tell you that our God is still on His throne and He is still answering prayers if you have a relationship with Him. I heard from someone this morning that testified to that fact. Prayer works!  This started me thinking about the different types of answers we get from God through prayer. There may be others or more ways to describe these, but here is a quick overview anyway. QUICK RESPONSE or YES (a.k.a, Everyone's Favorite) You pray and it's not long before you have confirmation or feel like you hear from God concerning your petition.  THE WAIT (Ugh!) Sometimes you have to wait for answers. It's not fun, but just remember that God's timing is best. There is a reason for the wait. It may have something to do with you or someone else involved (i.e. you have something to learn, waiting f...
