Believing God

I just have to share this past week with you - God amazes me -
All my boys went to Colorado for an eight day fly fishing trip - I just love how I had all these plans to do things while my boys were gone and most of them I did, but I had planned on scrap booking up a storm and I just was not in the mood. One thing that was good was, and I have told my boys over and over since they got home - "I cannot believe how clean the house stayed" - it didn't take long for the "lived in look" to appear once they got home - but something else that appeared.....life. I enjoyed the quiet for a while but what I missed the most was not being able to talk to Greg. They had internet service but no phone service so the only communication I had was an email most nights.
All that to get to my main point: I get a K-Love email every morning and I have been struggling with a decision that needs to be made - I am trying not to obsess on it - I prayed to God for guidance - and that is exactly what I received. Below is the date and the scripture that I received each day from the day Greg left to the day he returned -
God never ceases to amaze me.

I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain.
~ Psalm 3:4, NLT

Sunday 7/18/2010
For I am waiting for you, O Lord. You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
~ Psalm 38:15, NLT

For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
~ 2 Corinthians 4:17, NLT

Tuesday 7/20/2010
Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.
~ John 14:1, NLT

Wednesday 7/21/2010
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
~ Philippians 4:6, NLT

Thursday 7/22/2010
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
~ 1 Peter 5:7, NLT

Friday 7/23/2010
My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same.
~ Job 4:8, NLT
- this one stumped me so I went and looked in context - and prayed - I take it as a warning to not hire anyone that will bring strife and I need to continue to seek God.
Saturday 7/24/2010
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
~ John 16:33, NLT

Is this not amazing - God knows - I cried out to Him in prayer every morning and actually all day long and I have had a peace - I have to fight back the worries and the pressure and continually remember God's Words - on Saturday the 24th I heard a lady say that God gives us little nuggets of His Words each day to put in our treasure box - and that is exactly what the above scriptures are to me! I know He is in control and He has the perfect person I need, and I pray that I will listen and obey and make a good decision. I am so thankful for the peace that He has blessed me with and I will continue in "believing God" for an answer. This past week the verses made me realize that my "problem" is so small compared to others - Betty and I went to visit and pray with a precious lady whose body is being eaten alive by cancer. She is in such pain that she has to continually stay on a heating pad for any kind of relief. In her floor were stacks of World Bible School papers that she continues to work through....amazing. In her storm she is still sharing the gospel with the lost and being a faithful servant to the God she loves with all her being. Wednesday night the speaker reminded us that the moon we go outside and look at is the exact same moon that David looked at when he wrote some of the Psalms... I loved that thought... our God is eternal - he reminded us that the only problem we have is when we choose to believe that our problem is bigger than our God! no way - God has blessed me with a husband that loves and gives me such joy and patiently listens to me - I have to wonder if God is not glad Greg is home to give Him a break from some of the listening time - haha - remember to let your light shine -

Why Christ is my Passion

The more I seek Christ in my walk, the more I find Him -
Psalm 18:1-2
I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
thank u Jesus
