Take Courage and Be Of Good Cheer

Hello and thank you for stopping by. Are you worrying again? Stop it!

I know it's difficult right now with the crazy economy and the upset in the world. Do not worry, God will help you. Ask Jesus to be by your side and He will! Do not give up at this time, you must take courage and give it all to the Lord. He will take your upset and give you peace.

Be of good cheer and know that He is watching over you and you are in His Favor! Stand in His presence and know that God is Good and Jesus is Lord!

He is coming back very soon, be ready! Even though you are going through a problem right now, just step back and stop lamenting over it. Whatever you focus on expands! Shout Grace to your problem and start thanking God. Watch Him work it out for you.

It's going to get better - you will see.

Say this:
Thank you Jesus for taking my problems and worries from me. You died for my sins and rose again. You sit with God in the Throne Room and one day soon you will return with your angels to take us home unto You. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for being the Alpha and Omega - the First and the Last. I give you my all and may I be a blessing back unto You. Holy Spirit - Put me on a fast from worry and doubt. Help me to have Jesus thoughts. Restore in me the joy of Your Salvation. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Stay in the Word!

God and Wool

Working with wool helps me to feel connected to God. I've often thought about the profoundness of wool. It's not only one of the most perfect fibers to work with, but it's also warm and protects us from the elements.

Whether you knit, crochet, felt, spin, weave, make rugs, or sew, just the act of working with wool is calming. It brings a sense of connectedness to God. Working with wool can also help to bring you toward healing and wholeness. It also gives you a sense of accomplishment that you made something that has a purpose. We have been compared to sheep in the Bible. Maybe God wants us to realize that He created us with a purpose too.

As a knitter, I feel it is a privilege to work with wool and I thank God that I learned how to knit, especially since it is the reason why I quit smoking cigarettes just about 25 years ago! Stay Inspired and Have a Happy New Year!

P.S. I have a special request: Please pray for my sister Karen, as she has an appointment with a surgeon this Friday, 1-2-09. Be sure to visit Karen's Blog to see her beautiful creations.

Many Tribulations

Lately I've been thinking about why we go through frustrating moments and stressful situations. Why do we think that life is always cotton candy and bubblegum? Even though we sometimes suffer, God is with us when we have faith and rely on Him. Jesus walks with us when we are in pain and suffer from toxic thinking. He always strengthens our souls and comes through just at the perfect time. Keep the faith and know that you will enter His Kingdom. If you are going through a tough time, read Acts 14:21

21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. (From KJB)

Those of us who know Christ as our Lord and Saviour will be snatched away and experience Eternal Life in His Kingdom.

Continue in the faith.
