I've finally gotten my little ole tomato plants and pepper plants
out...thank God for rain!!!
Can I ask y'all to venture into the chatroom some evening...8 - 10
p.m. central? Especially try to drop by on Thursdays between 8:30 and 9...I try
to give an update on the "state of the ministry" then.
My new devotional that's really special to me (thank you a million
times, Karen), JESUS CALLING, said this to me on May 9th.....this devotional is
in first person...God talking to me!!!...
"Don't be so hard on yourself. I can bring good even out of your
mistakes. Your finite mind tends to look backward, longing to undo decisions
you have come to regret. This is a waste of time and energy, leading only to
frustration. Instead of floundering in the past, release your mistakes to Me.
Look to Me in trust, anticipating that My infinite creativity can weave both
good choices and bad into a lovely design.
Because you are human, you will continue to make mistakes.
Thinking that you should live an error-free life is symptomatic of pride. Your
failures can be a source of blessing, humbling you and giving you empathy for
other people in their weaknesses. Best of all, failure highlights your
dependence on Me. I am able to bring beauty out of the morass of your
mistakes. Trust Me, and watch to see what I do".
Scripture references: Romans 8:28 and Micah 7:7.
Now my dear fANNtastic friends, you will have to CHOOSE to do
this..it won't be a natural thing. In our humanness we just don't release the
memories of our failures all that easy. Will you make a decision right now that
you will do that?..and work on it with me????? Let's just
start!!!
Until we're visiting again, I wish you that peace that comes when
you give it ALL to Him. He's big enough for it ALL!!
Blessings and joy,
Ann D
