PRESERVE MY LIFE AND MARRIAGE! Look upon my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law. Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees. Your compassion is great, O LORD; preserve my life according to your laws. Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes. I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word. See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your love. All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. Psalm 119:153-160 What is your heart’s cry to the Lord today? Are you tired and weary of your pain and suffering as you face...

THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR YOU The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. The Egyptians — all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots horsemen and troops — pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon. As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us...

YOU AND GOD ALONE This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’” Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV) Each morning as a new day starts, I can often tell where my wife has been in our home by the location of three old, crumbling pages. If they are in the kitchen, ### has been there. If they are by her hair curler, I know that she has done her hair. Almost a quarter of a century ago, when ### began her stand, one of the many ways my wife prayed was by using a verse by verse breakdown of the...

““It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.†Psalm 18:32-36 Thank you Father for these amazing verses that give me a new peace. Thank you Lord for giving me your shield of victory! AMEN!!”

I was washing dishes and thinking about how hot it has been. I caught myself daydreaming. I remembered when I was young and could not wait until the weather began to change for the fall season. I would get up before daylight to get ready for school and hurry just so I would have time to look out my bedroom window to watch the sun rise over the mountain. As the rays hit the ground, there would be a beautiful sparkle from the frost and the mist off of the frost as it melted would be iridescent. It was amazing to me as a young child and it reminded me of dreams I had dreamed about beautiful places with mountains that sparkled and skies full of color dancing through a mist. No, I wasn’t a “druggie”…I just had a wild imagination. I wish I...

Let them come to know........Praise God.

With the high possibility of what my purpose has been for the last 3 years to come crumbling down around me, I have a LOT to think about. I'm not fearful of change. I know that the Lord has my best interest in mind. I think what I am most fearful of is the emotion that comes with it. It's going to be sad. Depressing. Confusing. I hate facing my emotions. And I'll be honest, I am extremely overwhelmed to take on the responsibility of moving. Ugh. Storage will be needed. Deposits. Rental application fees...... Oh and then that whole waiting process. Waiting for the D.A., waiting for court dates, waiting for a judgement. I hate uncertainty. "Pray about it" they all say. Ok, I've been praying, I've been worshiping. All I have left...

Today has been extremely rough. The uncertainty has really gotten to me and I haven't been accepting it nearly as well as I was yesterday. I'm terrified. Everything could very well fall apart. I wish I could go back to yesterday when I was freely accepting God's will. Now I'm just scared. And it all comes down to the girls. If they go back to living with their mom they will go back to endure unstable environments, switching schools, and abusive boyfriends. Her manipulation may very well allow that to come to pass.... but see there I go putting the future in HER hands and not God's. What is wrong with me?! GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN! ugh!! I feel like I just want to get away and spend like 2 weeks just meditating, praying...
