We may not always see what's ahead, but He does.There's great power in trusting Him. For it clears the way for our security to be based solely on Him, not on our circumstances, or other people, not on ourselves, or our own ways of thinking.He is faithful to lead us and He sees the big picture. He brings clarity and light through foggy times. He knows what's around the other side of the bend where we can't fully see. His timing is perfect even when we start to feel like we've been forgotten. No matter how we feel or what our current situation may be, we can be confident that God's Presence will go before us, paving out pathways, guiding and guarding our steps.Keep choosing trust. Let go of worry, hold on to Him.~leaving you with love,smiles and hugs,Linda

Come with me to the most populated prison in the world. It's name is WANT--the prison of want. You've seen her prisoners. They want something bigger. Nicer. Faster. Thinner. They want a new job. A new house. A new spouse. If you feel better when you have more and worse when you have less--you're in the prison of want. If your happiness comes from something you deposit, drive, drink, or digest, then face it--you're in the prison of want!The good news is, you have a visitor. It is the psalmist, David."I have a secret to tell you," he whispers,"the secret of satisfaction." From Psalm 23:1,"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." David has found where discontent goes to die. It's as if he's saying,"What I have in God is greater than what I don't have in this life." Oh, that you and I could learn to say the same!~leaving you with love,smiles and hugs,Linda
I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born (Isaiah 44:2a)You are not an accident.Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! The Bible says, The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me (Psalm 138:8a )Why did God do all this? Why did he bother to go to all the trouble of creating a universe for us? Because he is a God of love. This kind of love is difficult to fathom, but its fundamentally reliable. You were created as a special object of God's love! God made you so he could love you. This is a truth to build your life on.~Leaving you with love, smiles and hugs, Linda
