Hi Pastor John!
Here’s a few things that have been gathered up since coming to the truth. We have been prepping new rental for move and packing up apt. so it’s a time of work for Jerry and me. Jesus keeps telling me “it is just for a season” so I am leaning on that every time it feels like too much. Jesus also has been encouraging me and making me laugh when I really feel like crying. Thought I would share them with you.
1. When you lose the start of the box tape for the fifth time – Don’t throw that box tape. You will just have to apologize to Jesus, so gently lay it down and PRAISE GOD!
2. When you feel like you can’t work and pack and feed your husband – remember at least you don’t have a bag of dirty diapers to wash out and PRAISE GOD!
3. When you are not sure exactly what is a weed and what is a flower – Call Suzi and remember that Jesus put us here in this body to have help learning what is a weed and help to pull it! After or before you call Suzi – PRAISE GOD!
4. When you have to stick your head in a cabinet full of cracks and possibly spiders and are wondering why you are doing all this for a rental home – Seal up the cracks where He has you. Live where Jesus has you and PRAISE GOD!
5. When only one room in the whole house is clean and put together – live in the room that is finished!
I don’t know if that exactly fits, but it sure is good and it has come to my mind all week. PRAISE GOD!
I have loved Jesus talking to me and encouraging me lately. Every time it gets too much, Jesus sends one of our sweet family members with a hug or a laugh or a sweet text. Debbie T. fixed a big dinner the other night and sent us some. It was exactly what was needed that night. I just love that Jesus stays right there with us. I have been rescued. I have been wooed. Now I am seeing what a friend Jesus is.
Makes me cry to think Jesus wants to be my friend. It really does just keep getting sweeter, huh?
Beth
