  Someone sent this to me recently, and it came just when I needed it … God very often does things like that. 
  I wanted to share it with you … read it slowly, and think on each one of these.

  ~ THE WILL OF GOD ~
  
  The will of God will never take you,
  Where the grace of God cannot keep you.
  Where the arms of God cannot support you,
  Where the riches of God cannot supply your needs,
  Where the power of God cannot endow you.
  
  The will of God will never take you,
  Where the spirit of God cannot work through you,
  Where the wisdom of God cannot teach you,
  Where the army of God cannot protect you,
  Where the hands of God cannot mold you.
  
  The will of God will never take you,
  Where the love of God cannot enfold you,
  Where the mercies of God cannot sustain you,
  Where the peace of God cannot calm your fears,
  Where the authority of God cannot overrule for you.
  
  The will of God will never take you,
  Where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears,
  Where the Word of God cannot feed you,
  Where the miracles of God cannot be done for you,
  Where the omni presence of God cannot find you.

  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
  - Philippians 4:13 - 
  
  

  

  Well, it’s been a few days since I’ve posted, so I thought I’d better let you all know what’s been happening since Saturday.  Sunday started out as a very warm, but, beautiful day, and we went to church and had a wonderful morning.  A blessing to share with you … a while back, my vacuum sweeper finally bit the dust, so to speak … we tried fixing it, but to no avail, so I was using my sister’s.  Well, I had mentioned this to a group of friends from church, a week ago … and this past Sunday, one of those very thoughtful friends brought me one of her extras to keep, complete with vacuum bags … have you seen the price of those lately?!  I, for one, have never had an extra vacuum cleaner, at least not one that worked anyway, but I’m sure blessed that she did!  It’s a very nice one, too, heavy duty!  Look out now, you dustbunnies … here I come!!  I love the way God sends forth blessings along the way in our lives, like that!  He so longs to bless His children.  So, do tell, what blessings has He sent your way lately? 
  
  *We’ve also had a major health concern for a very close family friend, who is very dear to our hearts, as is her family.  We went to visit her in the hospital Sunday afternoon.  I’m not at liberty to go into much detail here, but I’m asking for ‘corporate’ prayer for our precious Elizabeth.  She’s been in the hospital since last Wednesday, and we are all very concerned for her.  God knows every detail of this situation, and I know He will direct your prayers for her healing.  Your prayers are so very appreciated by all of us, right now.  She is also a childhood friend of Ian’s, and he may be coming home soon to see her … as soon as this weekend!
  
  On a final note … I hope you’re all having a good week.  Things are much quieter, and cooler today.  We had an odd sort of storm come through a couple of nights ago, where the lightning was constantly flashing for quite a while, causing some house fires north of us … but again, the Lord protected us through it all!  It did blow in some cooler air the next day, which we gladly welcomed with open windows!!   It’s such a nice change from the 3-H’s … hazy, hot, and humid!  We may dodge those again the rest of the week!  We have an all church pitch-in this coming Sunday … and I’m trying to think of something yummy to take … any ideas?  I’ve missed you all, and I’m hoping to get around the next couple of days to catch up.  Have a blessed day in Him! 
  
  Hugs,

  Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. 
  When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. 
  But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. 
  Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware. 
  ~ E. M. Bounds
