Our God is Greater – Chris Tomlin
This is such an awesome song just thought I would share it with you. Turn your sound on and sing along.
Lifes challenges
I can’t believe I am so behind in the blog writing.
My goal has always been to write three times a week but lately it just hasn’t happened.
A season of dry ideas or thoughts?
Last week another bug that had me down for a few days. It was so nice to just rest and rest more and do nothing. Even surprised myself by going to bed and really resting without tv or music in the background.
It was very restful.
Life seems to be throwing curve balls as each day begins or maybe each month.
Someone said: “Adversity re-defines ones character.”
If that is true then our characters have really been re-defined this year.
In three months my husband had rotater cuff surgery on his shoulder, then he reacted badly to something they gave him in the hospital and he had a severe rash that was more like a second degree burn leaving his skin peeling all over his back, arms, face shoulders this situation involved two visits to the emergency room then recently he has a surgery for skin cancer. In the process of all this he is still doing physical therapy for his shoulder surgery.
It is only April and so much has taken place.
Do I need to explain why we both feel tired?
God will keep protecting us. Life will go on.
But I do pray for a small break in the crisis department.
Thank you for your patience as I slowly move back into the writing it has been a bit challenging lately.
How has your life been?
Trust His Heart
This is a beautiful song I thought I would share. I am down with a bug and not able to write today. Perhaps tomorrow I could come up with a writing. Enjoy these words by Babbie Mason.
A QUESTION
Can I ask those readers who read this ‘blog’ to let me know if you actually read it?
I have ‘about 90’ readers and I have no idea who actually receives it, reads it and wants to respond to it.
can I ask for a bit of feedback?
JUST wondering most blogs take me about 4-6 hours to ‘process’ and I will continue to do that but it will help for me to know ‘if there really is’ an audience.

This is a good ending to the week about our hurts and releasing them.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. ====================
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
Courage is not the absence of fear but it's taking action in the midst of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
