Moving...

Moving...

I am packing...again....five years of settledness and now packing again...and it is hard...from the known to the unknown again... And it is just stuff again...

Sorting through books, I have read or not or plan to...stuff I kept the last go around and haven't used...to take or not...decisions again and again...
Will I really do this craft or sew this material?  How many sets of towels, sheets, do I really need/use? What is really worn out or am I just tired of seeing the same things over and over again...
Simplify...pare down...reality...and for what purpose?

There used to be so much to do, a purpose each day... A list for each day of things to get done...life gets simpler as one ages, they say, you do the important things...but you still need purpose to meet each day with gusto...serving others, taking care of family...using your gifting in some way in the world around...as I age, I still want to meet those challenges with a willingness to serve...

Thank YOU for that opportunity ...help me serve with a smile, a willing spirit...in the ways You have planned...



Hi - I'm reading "Jesus Always (with Bonus Content): Embracing Joy in His Presence" by Sarah Young and wanted to share this quote with you.

"July 19 I AM YOUR HELP AND YOUR SHIELD. Pay special attention to the possessive pronoun your. I am not just a Help and a Shield. I am yours—for all time and throughout eternity. Let this forever-commitment strengthen and encourage you as you walk with Me through this day. I will never leave you or forsake you. You can depend on Me! Because I am your Help, you don’t need to fear your inadequacy. When the task ahead of you looks daunting, rejoice that I stand ready to assist you. Openly acknowledge your insufficiency, and trust in My infinite sufficiency. You and I together can accomplish anything, as long as it is My will. You definitely need Me as your Shield. I protect you from many dangers—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Sometimes you’re aware of My protective work on your behalf, but I also shield you from perils you never even suspect. Find comfort in this assurance of My powerful Presence watching over you.

Fear no evil, My cherished one, for I am with you. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield ...Psalm 33:20

Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
