I have had the hardest month it seems in my life. Things just seem to be coming
at me like a knife. I do my best to keep on track but sometimes it seems I fall
short or behind. I am not complaining I am just letting you all know that God is
good in all things and he does his best to keep us strong. He knows when we will
fall short or go lacking for him, and he is the only one who really knows how to
get our attention. And when he does you better look up and out cause he will grab
you by the neck and shake you like he only can. I tell you this because he has once
again, like he always does showed me him in true light were I need to be and not
were I want to be. They say what goes around comes around and I surely thought that
I had all my going around done. But I failed to remember it happens to the ones
in your life also. I know this may seem like a riddle or something or why is she
telling us this. Well without going into detail about all happenings, I feel God
just wanted me to share one important verse to me to share. I have been reading
for the past year, yes it took a year to finish, I read 3 or more books at a time.
I think GOD has me do this so I will read just what he needs me to read at the right
time, Oh, the books the Bruce Wilkerson series Breakthrough...Just finish the Vine
one last nite, and boy did the end come at just the time for understanding of what
is going on in my life. IF you have read them and did not see God in it, then start
again, there is a message in them for you all. Well anyway, he showed me one very
important scripture...If you are having a battle with satan at this moment and time
remember you can get through it, it maybe God pruning you and you just thought I
am doing my best GOD, but maybe you really werent. So here for you heavy ladel as
me is the verse he showed me.
In Gods love I cherish you all and please keep my and my family in your prayers
and I also remember you all..
God Bless
Margaret
PS..Please feel free to pass this on, as to there maybe someone you know is in a
battle also. It is not of us, but GOD calling us to him.

1 Peter 1: 6-8
1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness
through manifold temptations:
1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at
the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1:8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing,
ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Margaret,
Unfortunately, none of us ever gets there. The only thing constant in life is change. I guess it is kind of like a ship at sea...they have to do many mid-course corrections to stay on track. Thanks for sharing your heart. Let us know how we can help.

Oh dont think that I am not ok.. I am, my faith in Christ is truly strong...like I said, its the trails your special people in life that steal your heart and you have to remain strong when you want to just give up , but Christ being whom he is will not let you. I stay strong with his word and like I said he has a way of directing me in the right direction, to be the strength or the help that someone else may need.

I totally understand. It is wonderful to have an anchor to steady you and keep you from going adrift even in a storm.

2 of my favorites;

Romans 8:38,39 (KJV)
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

James 4:8 (New World Translation)
Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.
