Good morning my sisters,  

Many know me as the lady with the big smile, loud laugh, & big personality. I can enter a room before I actually enter a room. Well my sisters, my friends this has been a tough week. 
Life has been difficult and honestly it appeared to be kicking my...  ( you know what ). 

 I have to say it's been hard seeing the good amidst the tough times. Even when I have had those closest to me praying and rejoicing for my safety (in actuality my life) I will admit my attitude was not joyous. I didn't feel like praising & I could barely squeak out a thank you Lord for this day.

I have been so caught up in the day to day battles of life, the situations, the afflictions and my own abilities or inabilities I felt that I could not stand anymore. But a still voice continues to come to me and reminds me not by my strength not my provision but HIM. Stand on HIM, with HIM, by HIM.

He is my hope He cares for me He is with me always.  

Mark 4:39 
 Psalm 119:81 
 1 Peter 5:7

So as the situation unfolds (yes I'm still going through with only moments of frustrations now)

 I must look to HIM always. Nothing else should be an option. He is in control of it all. I must call on HIM and lay it all down because He is the only ONE that can handle my burdens.

And you know what else... I got a new perception;

THANKYOU Lord!!!  I have my life, my grandkids weren't in the car, and no one else got hurt. And all the other stuff well hey, God is handling that stuff too because this life of mine is His to have!!!

 Psalm 34:19
Ephesians 6:10  

 Love you much
