Happy Happy birthday to our special one and only daughter..They kept telling us she was another boy so we were surprised when we had a girl. She has been a blessing from the start so many wonderful memories with her over the years. Now we watch her make memories with her children. Love watching her pour the importance of a relationship with God in their lives. She does that because she has a relationship with God. Love her.

Married life is a marathon. It is not enough to make a great start toward long-term marriage.
You will need the determination to keep plugging. Only then will you make it to the end.

“I've said many times, you can't love your country only when you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you agree. Something I hope we can do, no matter who you voted for, you see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans." Joe Biden

This week I have been reading in Daniel. I thought about this verse in relation to Daniel and our political scene in our country. Daniel served faithfully 4 non Israelite kings after he was taken captive by the Babylons. We have so much campaign rhetoric being said right now. We have individuals saying what they will do if one or the other is elected. Daniel followed God and served kings at the same time. He prayed and gave a testimony of his God even in the midst of persecution from others. I do not know who will be elected. We are to seek the prosperity of our country and pray for our leaders for who ever our leaders are. If our country prospers so do we. It is time to be a Daniel. We need to daily pray for our leaders and faithfully serve our God.

This year I have had 2 skin surgeries for skin cancer. One was in the hospital and one was in the office. Last week I had 2 skin biopsies. Today I found out they were negative. I knew it was all God. Praise the Lord for God giving me negative results.

Today I was out in our woods raking up leaves and wood debris. After I finished filling up one trash can and moved away from the tree a large limp fell. I immediately said, "Thank you Lord for your protection". I knew God had prevented the limp from falling until I had moved away. God's continues to protect me.

This morning I read this from Nancy Wolgemuth, "to reject Jesus is to reject God. Everything that's true of God is true of Jesus. Jesus has all the attributes of God: He is self-existent, self-sufficient, unchanging, and eternal." We sometimes want to just center on Jesus. Jesus came so that we would have a closer access to God. Jesus draws the great I Am to us.

We struggle with peace in our daily lives. Relationships can be hard to deal with. Jobs and finances can move us from peace to worry. Jesus lived a every day life on this earth just like we do. He was not absent of relationship issues. He had lies told of him and he kept his peace on the inside. He kept his peace when the wind & storm raged. He kept his peace when thousands were hungry. His peace did not leave him when the crowds wanted his crucifixion. His peace did not come from life being at peace. His peace came from God. When everything was in chaos around him, he still had the peace from God. When the crowds were screaming at him, he still had peace. When money were not there, his peace was still there that God would provide. He kept his peace. As a follower of Jesus, I have the peace that only he can give. At times I let problems crowd around the peace. John reminds us Jesus said even in trouble we have peace. He has overcome all the stuff in our lives that can overshadow our peace. Through him we can also overcome everything that is in our life and keep the peace that only he gives.

As I was praying this morning, God reminded me of a time that trusting God was all we had to do. God sometimes makes you grow in faith even when you really do not want to. In 1986, Rodney's position as pastor of FBC Suwanee had ended. We were living in the pastorium of the church. We had 3 children and I was pregnant with the 4th. There came a point when we had to find a place to move out of the pastorium. Rodney had gotten a job at then the Baptist Bookstore. The house we rented was $400 a month which was what Rodney made each month working at the bookstore. All we could do was take one step at a time trusting God to meet our needs. There were not money for groceries, utilities, gas etc. We had to surrendered our van. God provided someone to let us borrow their van. God provided people to give us groceries or money for food each day. I remember at times going to the grocery store with $2 and buying 1 jar of spaghetti sauce & box of spaghetti and apple juice for our children. We did not have child care credit or social services to help in our circumstances. I remember one day asking social services for prenatal-care. I was told there was none for normal families. I got off the phone and said, "God
you are my physician".
I would never have asked for this faith building time in our life. God taught Rodney and I a lesson in faith and His provision as our provider. God provided people to drop off groceries at our door, Christmas gifts, clothes etc. God used people to provide for us just like He does the birds of the air. We could not see the future only one step in front of us. A month before Joseph was born Rodney became associate pastor at Green Acres Baptist church. God gave us a healthy baby boy with only a Dr. visit at the beginning and a month before his birth. God gave us healthy family through this faith lesson. God worked it out for us to get another van in Warner Robins after surrendering the other one. God blessed during this faith lesson and. after. We could not see a light at the end of the tunnel. All we could do is take one step at a time following the Light of the World through this time.

Jeremiah 29: 10-14
Jeremiah 29:11 is quoted a lot for different occasions and reasons. As I was reading this chapter 2 days ago, I thought of how we miss the context of verse 11. The Israelites had been in captivity by Babylon. They had disobeyed God and God had said enough of your disobedience. I am sure that this was the worst time in the life of many Israelites. They were wondering where God was. "God are you there." or "God please don't forget me." may have been uttered by many people. When life get hard like it did for the people of Israel, we want to hear. from God. We want to know that God has not forgotten us. Our tears of crying out to God may seem pointless. We seem loss in a difficult circumstance whether physical or emotional. I am sure some of the people of Israel wondered if they would every get out of Babylon and some did not.
In verse 10, God says there is a period that you will be in this captivity. God assures them that they will not be in captivity forever. We at times want to just know it is not forever that our life or the life of someone we love will not be dealing with a hardship forever. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. God not only wanted to assure the people of Israel that the captivity would end but He had not left them. I love how God comforts me that He is still there. His Word still stands to assure us that He has not left us. His promises are still here. His Word may be discounted by some, but God was there in the captivity and after the captivity. God is here for us during an illness and after an illness. God is here for us during a death of a loved one and after the death of a loved one. God is here with us during difficult issues with our children and after they have become positive.
Only after God has talked about the captivity ending and His being with them and His promises still standing does He move into saying, “For I know the plans I have for you” God knew we needed a reassurance just like the people of Israel that bad times may end, and He is there. Isaiah 41:10 says to “Fear not, I am with you,”. God’s Word constantly assures us He is there even in the toughest of times.
In verses 11-14, God says, He has good plans for us to give us a future and hope. We can pray to Him, and He listens to us. If we seek God, we find Him. This come after God says the captivity is ending. Whatever is imprisoning our thoughts, prayers and time negativity is ending. God’s promises are still true. God is still here. He is moving us from confinement of an issue to knowing that God’s plans for us have a new hope. We do not think anymore that our life is determined by something that seemingly chains us but God’s plans of hope.
