Hebrews 13:5b
Before translation this read, "I will not, I will not, I will not ever leave you or forsake you." The only time a triple negative was used.

1 Peter 5:8-11 "Be on your guard and stay awake. Your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion, sneaking around to find someone to attack. But YOU must RESIST the devil and stay strong in your faith. You know that all over the world the Lord's followers are suffering just as you are. But God shows undeserved kindness to everyone. That's why He appointed Christ Jesus to CHOOSE YOU to share in His Eternal Glory. You will suffer for a WHILE, but GOD WILL MAKE YOU COMPLETE, STEADY, STRONG, AND FIRM. GOD WILL BE IN CONTROL FOREVER!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!"
This got us through the foster care system for the 3 years it took to adopt our Joshua, Sarah, & Elizabeth. We felt so attacked and defeated, but this verse still hangs in our closet as a reminder of who really is in control!

This one is one of my favs.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. (Psalm 9:9-10)

Hey, Melanie. Thanks for FB message and asking me personally. That meant so much! Here are just a few "cling to" verses from my pesonal walk with the Lord and I enjoyed gathering them for you:

Psalm 91:1-2
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Matthew 8:23-27
Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying "Lord, Save us! We're going to drown." He replied, "You of little faith. Why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Romans 8:38 For I am convinced that neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Hey Girl! I'm glad you invited me over to your post - I have been wanting to pop in on all of my bloggy friends - and with my daughter sleeping in this morning - I got the chance! Perfect.

Anyway - the scripture that comes to mind is Ephesians 6:13-18. These verses give me strength and courage and peace.

I have already said a prayer for your friend.

Have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Pretty Woman

I feel just like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women (except for the business transactions.) Since My Dear husband loves teenagers, we have been invited to attend the local prom as chaperons . Finally, I have gotten my dream date to the prom and you know how I like to dance! I thought of how fun this will be. Then it hit me, as it does every girl going to the prom WHAT WILL I WEAR? Since being either pregnant or nursing a baby for about 8 years, I stopped buying dresses unless they are maternity. I have a couple of ' stylin ' friends- one is the size of my leg but the other is pregnant with baby #6. I knew she would have a variety of sizes as she has been blessed with 5 beautiful girls (yes, they are beautiful) and the transition that comes after each of their births. Sure enough, Missi shows up with a variety of sizes, styles and accessories! See, I am Julia Roberts, minus the you know what. Here is what I have learned or have been reminded of in this "Mama sized" dress...

Is this the lab?

I recall having to sign up for lecture and then the lab in college. You learn it in lecture and do it in lab. The labs were usually hours long and put an interesting (meaning not cool!) curve in your day. Yesterday, we had a sick one. Our kids are typically healthy but I am beginning to think it is through their illnesses that I learn. I better get it this time 'cause it is just not fair to the children that they are sick due to their hard headed momma! Sick children are needy and Man Cub was no different. I entertained Lydia with reading, playing a game and having school since she did not have Clay to keep her busy. Blake napped as normal and continues to experiment with the potty....still! This morning, I walked into the living room, one asleep on the couch and another asleep on the love seat neither of them interested in eating and especially not school. Now, 2 kids needing mama and another still experimenting! Meanwhile, my heart is heavy to do something...So many lives lost in...
