IT ONLY LOOKS EASY ~

It can happen to you, things suddenly change and you are left with a new normal. That new normal can often be very hard.  Last night I had a dream and woke up shaking.  Was it just a dream or was it reality from my past?  It was my past carried into my now and I woke up feeling as if it were today.  I had to shake it off and quote this scripture:  

Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight

Facing some very impossible situations and yet God had the power to turn things around suddenly.  I trust the Lord with all my heart and yet have things I just don't understand.  I don't understand some of my struggles in dream or night mares.  I don't understand why the Lord just doesn't take them away. I have prayed and trusted God.  Yet, I will continue to pray and trust him through it all.  

Psalm 23 New International Version (NIV)
A psalm of David.1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

GOD WILL REFRESH YOUR SOUL ~
I often need to remind myself that goodness and mercy (LOVE) will follow me all the days of my life and I will purpose to live in the house of the Lord FOREVER!  How about you?  Will you purpose this a good day no matter what?  I hope so. 

My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
