The Return Of Jesus - Our Sure Hope. What God's Word Says

Image
Never really thought that I would live to see days like these. My Mom is in the hospital and thanks to the covid pandemic she can only have my Dad visit. As thankful as I am for that, my heart feels sad to not be able to see her. People I know haven't been able to get medical treatment all because of this covid thing. Children have to wear masks to go to school while parents anxiously wonder if and when we will all be under lockdown again. News story after news story, all around our planet shows people wearing masks en masse or protesting lock downs and forced mask wearing. And that is just the covid pandemic. Then there are the crazy news stories we've watched from all four "corners" of the earth, massive fires, devastating weather phenomena, earthquakes in diverse places, unknown objects being caught on video, strange experiences, locust swarms, mass animal deaths, people hating like never seen before, moral Biblical morals blatantly ignored, families changing in wa...

A Song of Praise to the LORD

Image
A Song of Praise to the LORD 2 Open the gates to all who are righteous; allow the faithful to enter. 3 You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! 4 Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock. 5 He humbles the proud and brings down the arrogant city. He brings it down to the dust. 6 The poor and oppressed trample it underfoot, and the needy walk all over it. 7 But for those who are righteous, the way is not steep and rough. You are a God who does what is right, and you smooth out the path ahead of them. 8 LORD, we show our trust in you by obeying your laws; our heart's desire is to glorify your name. 9 All night long I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek for God. For only when you come to judge the earth will people learn what is right. 10 Your kindness to the wicked does not make them do good. Although others do right, the wicked keep doing wrong and take no notice of the LORD's majesty. 11 O LORD, ...

A great song. Seems so appropriate for these trying times. Sure Hope.

Worlds Collide: Hope In Dark Times And Not

Image
We decided to share how we handle tough times like what the entire world has been going. Self isolation, unable to see family and friends. For those with fragile health, fear of getting ill tries weighing us down. We will be intermittently sharing special Bible Verses to hopefully inspire and encore fellow believers and those who are desperate to know, why are we on this planet. We can have peace in our heart no matter what things may look like. This passage is primarily directed toward fellow believers. We are to encourage each other always. S here is a short video. Be Encouraged...

Fear Not n These Unprecedented Times

Image
One person God has encouraged and inspired me with for over four decades or so, has been Joni Eareckson Tada. And she just did it again as she speaks about dealing with times like now, self quarantining because of the Corona virus. Especially When your body is compromised  persons who are at higher risk like Joni and other persons like us with disabilities like her's, a spinal cord injury and cancer survivor, or like mine, Spinal muscular Atrophy and my husband a senior at 68 living with Spina bifida occulta.  It can be tempting to be afraid when we hear all the news about this contagious virus affecting the entire world. If we didn't know our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we'd be very afraid. We want to share some more of Joni's encouraging words about dealing with this pandemic. Nothing is in vain. Fear not. Be courageous! Watch And Listen Below...

The Time is Coming When....

Image
[Luke 21:6-22, 25-28, 31-36 NLT] 6 "The time is coming when all these things will be completely demolished. Not one stone will be left on top of another!" 7 " Teacher," they asked, "when will all this happen? What sign will show us that these things are about to take place?" 8 He replied, "Don't let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and saying, 'The time has come!' But 9 And when you hear of wars and insurrections, don't panic. Yes, these things must take place first, but the end won't follow immediately." 10 Then he added, "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs from heaven. 12 "But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution. You will be dragged into synagogu...

I Had A Dream. Just Over Three Years Ago

Image
We are all living in a time like we have never seen before. We read in God's Word warning us what to watch for in what many of us call '""'The End Times." Not saying this pandemic and such are what we are waiting for but, it definitely causes us to consider what God tells us. So thankful that we can have no fear because of what Jesus Christ did for us. Without Him, we would be in a completely different state of mind. If you know Him, you know of the Hope we are talking about. But if not, we want you to know there is Sure Hope. We often put things off thinking we have loads of time. I am guilty of procrastinating most of my life. Not worth it. But thankfully God knows our heart.  Read the book of John and all of God's Word for that matter if you want to know more about The Sure Hope we are talking about. All of this reminded me about a dream I had three years ago. So we just watched it and googled what happened three years to the day of that recordin...

Be Encouraged During These Challenging World Changing Events- Video Shares

Image
For the first time in most of our lives, we are all experiencing the same thing for the most part. We are all facing warnings about avoiding a virus that can be spread by hand to hand, in the air, so far it kills 3% of it's victims. The more I learn about how it works against the human body in those like myself. I have a neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Which has meant living with the prediction by Doctors decades ago, that it won't be the disease that kills you, but pneumonia. This is because the muscles used for coughing up funky phlegm to fight of respiratory illnesses, just don't function well as I get older. Leaving this world does not scare me, I look forward to spending Eternity with my dear Lord and Saviour. For me, I do fear at times,  the process, or how He will end my physical life. So watching detailed videos about the pathology of this and other health issues, only stirs up the temptation to fear. It's good to know such things to a...

To Worry Or Not To Worry...Be Encouraged In These World Changing Times

Image
As an artist, all the virus images did inspire an incomplete painting to the left. Abstracted microbes are unique and interesting, but not to be taken lightly. As most of us can say, we have never experienced a world wide event like we are now. It really does feel like it's  the end of the world as we know it . The question is, Do we feel fine? (check out that song if you aren't sure why I am referencing that song. It's catchy.) As an artist, all the virus images did inspire an incomplete painting to the left. Abstracted microbes are unique and interesting, but not to be taken lightly. The 24/7 talk about Quarantines, Cancellation Of Everything, Pandemic, Social Distancing, staying six feet apart, disinfecting everything and hoarding toilet paper and such has definitely increased my heart rate a lot lately. It feels like I am a warrior with my sword and shield fighting against anxiety, not Covid-19, but anxiety! Thankfully my dear husband says he has zero anxiety...
