A little bit of love...

"There's a battle in the heartland..where my faith and real life meet...sometimes hope seems out of reach......"

So my best friend just does a post on depression... And guess what? Today I'm feeling rather low.... :( Maybe it's A.G.B.? After-Georgia blues.. :)

Maybe it's getting up early and pulling a long shift at work.. So I'm tired!!!

Maybe it's my shaky to solid to shaky issue.. One minute I'm sure about the future and then... Oh wait I'm not.. and then you know that sounds good but what if.. oh no that won't work.... HELP!!!!!!

So... came home... took some deep breathes.. changed clothes.. ate some popcorn-comfort food but not an outstanding amount of calories or fat right?

Now what really is the most comforting? Okay Jesus and me equal a majority... Glad I'm on His side.. Need to talk to Him more!! Talks always make me feel better... to realize He loves me..!

Second most comforting thing to ponder? I have some awesome friends-who just seem to love me even though I make the worst decisions sometimes. Even though I get in a tizzy about stupid meaningless things.. Even though I whine and cry for attention too often...

Thanks! I love you too!!

TN mountains...

"I lift my eyes up to the hills-where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord-who made heaven and earth....."

Loved getting to see all these mountains! not as fun to drive through but... :)

"Faith sees the invisible, believes the impossible

Receives the incredible, no matter what was.

Faith moves the unmovable, proves the unprovable

For anyone willing to trust

Believe and you'll see what faith does " -L5

I'm gonna FORGET DOWN HERE" -L5

We know God is in Control..." -TW

Peace in a Storm...

Mark 3
37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"
39And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, "Peace, be still." And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Found this picture at Hobby Lobby and just love it..
Plus always loved the story.. I'd have been just like the disciples I'm sure.. :)
"Master! wake up!!! we're all going to die! Please, Mastor, wake up!!!"
And then he said those 3 little words.."Peace Be Still" After the storm calms he asks had they had so little faith?
I'm so much like that.. Things get rough and I think God's not even paying attention-when He's really right there beside me..
Thank You, Jesus....
"Love is a shelter in a raging storm... Love is a peace in the middle of a war..."

My Name is Lazarus
One day, four men brought a crippled man to Jesus

Still and lifeless, he lay upon his bed

He had not moved since he was just a baby

Still he longed to become a normal man

Now we don’t know much about the men that carried

The corners of his tattered bed that day

But if we may create an illustration

We’ll see what these men might have had to say

Suppose that first man said, “I hate to doubt it

For Jesus touched my eyes when I was blind

He made me see and there’s no doubt about it

But this man’s needs are more serious than mine”

Suppose that second man said, “No need to bother

This man’s condition will remain the same

Though Jesus touched my hand when it was withered

I don’t believe He can heal a man so lame”

Suppose that third man said, “I hate to question

But no one here is more skeptical than me

Though Jesus cleansed me when I was a leper

This helpless man will never walk, you see”

Then every eye was turned to the fourth man

To see how he might criticize and doubt

But all three men were startled with amazement

When that fourth man stopped and said his name out loud

He said, “My name is Lazarus, could I testify?

My name is Lazarus, it feels good to be alive

When I in chains of death was bound

This man named Jesus called me out

If you think your little problem is too big for Him to solve

Take it from the one who’s heard the mighty voice of God

A living testimony of His death-defying touch, my name is Lazarus
