Smith, August 2011, to provide a safe space for Men who serve GOD and needed a place to decompress the stress of Ministry.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

For those who need healing, set your mind and heart on receiving all that you need to be made whole. I am not a God that withholds, but you must believe that I will not only heal but set you free from your miseries. Exercise your faith, says the Lord.

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

These days can be hectic, but you must stay cool, calm and connected as you silence your urge to give up or give in. Position yourself to be strong in spirit and calm in flesh. You will get through this hectic time. Keep the faith, says the Lord.

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND

by MARSHA BURNS:

Rise above thoughts of doom and gloom and of being a victim of difficult days. Life will become softer and easier to manage as opposed to feeling like you are a grinding wheel. Take a breath and settle yourself. Let My Spirit carry you, says the Lord. Matthew 11:29-30 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
