Love is a Beautiful Thing!

Dear Friends and Fans!
It is that special time of the year to let the people you love and care about know how you feel! So, I am here to tell you all that I so appreciate your generous support and encouragement of me in my career path and walk of life! It is very refreshing to know that you all care!
The beginning of the year has been blessed but also abit of a struggle for Scottie and I. We feel there are some things that are up for change and we are asking God for WISDOM and the NO FEAR attitude to wait on Him and His perfect path to be clear for us. With this in mind, I wanted to share something dear to me with you....
One of the devotionals (by Dr Charles Stanley) I recently read really hit home to me and I wanted to share it with you, in case it hits home for you too and can help you get through something in your own walk!
The Wisdom to Surrender
READ | Isaiah 41:9-11
As Christians, we like to compare notes about the Lord's work in our lives.
We share how He has blessed us or intervened in miraculous ways. But most of us
don't think to praise God when His work involves heartache or struggle. In fact,
we would rather resist or try to get around the hurt. And yet, surrendering to
His hands is far better than living outside His will. No matter what we face,
God has promised to be with us in all His power and wisdom, and He is faithful
to every single promise He has made.We know we're trusting in His
faithfulness when our prayer is, "God, keep me in this season of life until You
have accomplished Your purpose in me." Acknowledging that His plan is best-and
that it should be seen through to completion-is hard.Surrendering to the Lord's work in our life will transform us.
Circumstances might not change, but our attitude will begin to reflect peace,
contentment, and trust in Jesus Christ. Confidence in God shields us from
anxiety, because we're focused on Him and His promises of protection and
provision. None of us want to face hardship, but God sometimes requires
that we suffer. Through our trials, we learn trust, patience, compassion, and
other attributes needed for living a godly life. Our periods of hurt make us
more like Jesus Christ than other experiences can. And that is a blessing well
worth sharing with believers and anyone else who will listen.On another note, I hope you all have a very good Valentine's Day and enjoy something outrageous and fun!
Scottie and I have a date planned.. last year I was the event coordinator and this year it is Scottie's turn! :)
I am sure we will have fun .. just being together.. that's what counts!
