Bird's Eye View

Over the past few years a lot of talk was going around about a big revamping of one of the major road ways near my house.  I watched over the months as land was disturbed here and there, traffic redirected and dirt  moved back and forth from one side to another.  Everyone had an opinion but no one really seemed to have the "skinny" on what the final outcome would look like.


Whenever I was in conversation about this my first thought was always "I wish I had a bird's eye view so I could see how it is going to all come together.   I never got the view and never seemed to talk to anyone who knew any real facts.


Today much of the newly built  road way is in existence and now  additional sections seem to be added  to the project.  So what do I know?


Not much!!!


  No one has asked my opinion and if they did I would not have anything profound to say as I have not studied traffic patterns, land makeup etc etc...It's all been looked at already and I'm sure many many meetings have taken place to bring the project to this point.


It's kind of like that with serving the Lord.  We think we have a clue....we don't.  We continue to have specific opinions as to how what is going on is going to affect us and those around us.  Sometimes we fret and or become afraid.


STOP!!! There is NO NEED!!


The Lord, Maker of ALL THE UNIVERSE, has a plan.  He will be sure that it comes together at the right time.  He does not need our assistance. He is CAPABLE and His timing is impeccable!
So...beloved ...put it down.  it will come together...when you least expect it everything will fall into place and you will say "AHA  I see!!"


Rest....it's all taken care of!


Blessings! 

My Hiding Place!

I'm running...Are you??  
When life overwhelms me I run...
when sorrows come I run..


and sometimes 
JUST~CAUSE....


I run to His Hiding Place



I found myself a hiding place
I found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Almighty's love
In the safety of the Saviour's arms

Chorus:
I will run to the hiding place
I will run to the hiding place
Draw me ever closer to look upon Your face
I will run to the hiding place

Verse2:
I found myself a hiding place
I found myself a secret space
In the refuge of the Father's care
In the cleansing blood of Jesus there

Chorus:
I will run to the hiding place
I will run to the hiding place
Draw me ever closer to look upon Your face
I will run to the hiding place

Bridge:
Though my fear may overwhelm me
And troubles, they surround
Though
The wind rise up to take me
My hiding place is already found

Verse3:
I found myself a hiding place
I found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Almighty's love
In the safety of the Saviour's arms

Oh, wanna look upon Your face
I will run to the hiding place

Quiet yourself

Today when things seem to spin out of your control
Quiet yourself


After that upsetting telephone call..
Quiet yourself


When thoughts take you captive
Quiet yourself


When the questions far outweigh your answers
Quiet yourself


When your boat is taking on "water"
Quiet yourself.


When life just isn't going as planned
Quiet yourself


Jesus        ~           Savior


He IS the answer
He holds our peace
Choose Him today
Change your focus and perspective
He holds it all and HE is the only thing that matters


He is good ALL THE TIME
He holds YOU


so Quiet yourself dear one and REST


Blessings!

Eat and Sleep

Eat and Sleep

Sounds kind of like a newborn babe doesn’t it?

Last year a mother bird decided to build a nest at eye level in the shrubs next to our steps.  It was so interesting to watch the change in the nest from eggs to baby birds and then empty again.

I noticed that those birds seemingly did only 2 things: eat and sleep…Sometimes I would walk by and there would just be a mound of new feathers but then….a small shake and those neck would immediately stretch up, mouths wide open…expecting the next feeding.

Eat and Sleep…. Sounds so simple, so uninvolved, so uncomplicated

You know I think that is what the Lord would have for His children. 

Rest…until the next “feeding”.  

Be anxious for NOTHING.  

NOTHING is too difficult for God.  

In ALL things be grateful…. I have come to give you rest.

Do you believe it?  Does He care so much about you and your situation that you actually have NOTHING  to worry about? 

Rest dear Saint….if He cares for the birds of the air as He says…You have NOTHING to fret about. 

Eat and sleep 

Blessings!
