Hello to you. How are you? I hope if you are struggling that you have the support system you need. We are living in weird times! I think our country is due for some positive change.
Todays prompt is what makes you nervous. I would have to say driving here in Idaho makes me the most nervous. There are so many people on the road! All these people that have moved here, to include myself, have contributed to the increase in traffic. Where you go – there you are. You can’t escape yourself! If you lived with a lot of traffic where you used to live, chances are where you move to will eventually be the same.
The other thing I get nervous about is changes to my routine – getting pushed outside my comfort zone.
This Bible verse is a popular one when facing nerves or anxiety:
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
And this one:
Psalm 139:23-24New International Version
23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
One of my many sun and cloud pictures from last year – this was taken at Grace House I think
Hello to you. I hope this finds you well. It’s a sunny morning here – beautiful day for Easter. In a little while I plan to go to and share with others the good news of this day. Can you imagine what it must have been like to see Jesus after all he went through? I bet the sun was shining that day too! These words resonated this morning:
John 8:12 NIV
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
NIV: New International Version
Yesterday we were blessed to get some much needed rain! So grateful! There is water rushing through the canals again. Here are the pictures from yesterday:
Cheerful yellow blooms Enough rain to see pools of reflection Moss and lichen- thinking of the day my Mom taught me what lichen was during a visit to Pipestone South Dakota when I was a young girlI love seeing water droplets sparkle in the sun After the rain and storms it all gives way to glorious lightThis one made me smile. It’s like the sun has hair of clouds! Purple fit for a King God put on quite a show last night with views like this and so many birds were out! A huge crane, a hawk, ducks, geese and so much more. The miracles of water. Link checking out one of the canals on our amazing walk yesterday. We walked farther than normal and got to see and chat with other neighbors. One mentioned her taking care of a brother in Rapid City South Dakota! Since I’m originally from Sioux Falls that was pretty cool! This one….this one made me think “Hallelujah!” I can just see angels and glory.
This song came to my mind this morning. It’s about a love that stretches through the expanse of all existence. I think of God’s love for us:
We are Stars by the Pierces
We are stars Fashioned in the flesh and bone We are islands Excuses to remain alone We are moons Throw ourselves around each other We are oceans Being controlled by the pull of another
And I just wanna be loved by you Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you I see nothing worse Than to sail this universe without you
When we met I was pulling an angel out of a liar We forget Satisfaction kills our desire We are dreamers Wishing upon what we were born from We made plans Kill them ourselves And then we mourn them
And I just wanna be loved by you Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you I see nothing worse Than to sail this universe without you
I just wanna be loved by you Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you I see nothing worse Than to sail this universe without you (I just wanna be loved by you) I see nothing worse Than to sail this universe without you (Yeah, I just wanna be loved by you) I see nothing worse Than to sail this universe without you Without you
To be
