My heritage from the Lord

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with

them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)

The hard days

My eyes fail from weeping,

   I am in torment within;

my heart is poured out on the ground...

Where would I be without the promises of God?

I can not imagine if I had to face these storms without him. The enemy comes in seeking to destroy us. And sometimes it seems like he may do just that. If we had to rely on our strength only to defeat him, we would no doubt fail. But we don't. We have a God. A God that even when we are at our weakest point, even when we have given up, holds onto us with all his might and fights on our behalf for us. Just like we would do for any of our children. The second we give our lives to Him, we are adopted as his children. And He will never put us down. He will never leave us to be defeated by the enemy.

Lamentations 3:22-23 says..It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassion's fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
 

Maybe you are going through a hard time right now. I am there too. And it seems like maybe this is it. Maybe the enemy will win. Maybe it's time to give up. Don't. It is when we are at our weakest that God is strongest. There's this old song my mom used to sing, I can't remember who it's by, but it says "so there will be no mistaking when he blesses and heals, friend, God likes to work when nothing else will".

Keep praying, keep believing, and holding on to the promises of God. Our help is on the way!

Elange needs a family

Ever since the earthquake I have had a heart for Haiti. The people there are beautiful, and they have such  strength. After sponsoring our little girl Febiana in Haiti my children now have a heart for Haiti too.
That's why this beautiful girls story breaks my heart.

And now she only has 4 weeks to be adopted. She will be turning 16 and then can no longer be adopted.
She longs for a family, and her time for that dream is running out. Help spread the word. You can read about her situation here

Please join me in prayer for this orphan. That her family will come.

Psam 82:3  Defend the poor and fatherless;  Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8

 Enjoying the psalms :) Enjoying the beautiful weather:) My hubby is getting in a full day of work :) Took the kids on a walk :) Cleaned the house (well a little) :) The kids have been enjoying their new sandbox :) looking at the positive things, remembering God is good to me. There are so many things going on in life that I can't see the answers for. I just know that He keeps me. And He will not let the enemy defeat me!! He has overcome.

Psalm 5:11-12

But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
   let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
   that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

  Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous;
   you surround them with your favor as with a shield.

Psalm 10:17:18

 ¹⁷ You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted;
   you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
¹⁸ defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
   so that mere earthly mortals
   will never again strike terror.

 Psalm 13

 ⁵ But I trust in your unfailing love;
   my heart rejoices in your salvation.
⁶ I will sing the LORD’s praise,
   for he has been good to me.

Blessings

'Cause what if Your blessings count the raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears?

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You're near?

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst

This world can't satisfy?

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise?
