Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures: For the Children You Love Who Walk With God & Those Who Do Not - Try a Month for Free!

If you are looking for a resource, a tool to help you pray for the ones you love, take a look at Praying Deeper Through the Scriptures: For the Children You Love Who Walk With God & Those Who Do Not. We do not know what the future holds. We are not able to see "under the surface" (think ice bergs - we are able to see the part above the water, but not the much larger part under the water.) If we are experiencing challenges in our lives, it is very possible we have to wait to see what God has planned.

Doing this "waiting" is oftentimes extremely difficult, but in all honesty, there is no other option than for us to wait. Yes, we may become discouraged or angry, but choosing instead to trust God and wait is the choice which is best.

Start My Day with Joy!

I get up each morning, Monday through Friday, at 5:30am. While this is a horrible time of day to be up for sure :-), my hubby has to be at work at 7am, so I get up to fix him breakfast. This means each morning one of the first things I see is my refrigerator door . . . which is where I have the birthday present my oldest grandson made for me when he was five years old . . . a book he wrote titled: "Super Josiah Saves Grandma from All The Robot Spiders in History!" Not just from "a" Robot Spider! Not just from "some" Robot Spiders! Not even just from "all the Robot Spiders he sees on a particular day", but from "all the Robot Spiders in HISTORY!!!!" This makes me smile every time I see it, so I always start my day with joy!
