Living The Extraordinary Life

  While leading a women’s bible study last year, I had the joy of sharing each week the goodness and love of Jesus Christ to amazing women of God.  Each week I would pour out the hope God gives us in His word. Those women would pour back into my life their love and appreciation for my teaching.  They would sent such sweet and kind letters of love, encouragement, support. It was a true blessing. 

  One dear friend sent me this following scripture and prayer before I began the hardest part of  my life’s journey thus far - dealing with my parents’ Alzheimer’s, my husband leaving his job after 23 years and us deciding to return to our home state to be closer to our families. Change and transition are an ever present part of the journey.   

  Whatever we are going through in our life we must remember it is not taking God by surprise.  He knows right where you are and what you are going through.  So stand firm!   Our God is mighty to save.  I pray this will be a blessing to you as much as it has been to me.

 Zephaniah 3:17  “The Lord your God is with you.  He is mighty to save.  He will take great delight in you.  He will quiet you with His love.  He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Lord God, You have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown.  Give us the faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love is supporting us.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray with confidant assurance.  Amen. 

The Lord bless you this Day.
