Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails...

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Amidst Change


Times change.  People change.  Circumstances change.  But, Jesus doesn't...and His love remains.


Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.  Hebrews 13:8

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:  “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.  Jeremiah 31:3

Much Love,

Staying Focused

Staying focused.  Wow...that can be a tall order.  I admit, I am a little ADHD, focus is something allusive to me at times.  Someone hollers "Squirrel" and my attention averts quicker than a humming bird.  I hate this.
We are powerless without the "Power Source", Jesus.  How can a light shine without power?  How can a river run without water?  How can I walk in the ways of God if I don't stay focused on Him?

  Staying focused on Jesus face, what He says to me.  Knowing what He says about me and to me, then maintaining my face forward, looking neither right or left.  Following Him as He leads.
 When I do this, distractions disappear.  Opinions of others cease to matter when my full attention is on the Savior.  Drama ceases.  Purpose again fills my life.
 When I am focused my weaknesses disappear and His strength manifests itself in me.  
 Fears move way to confidence.
Hope flourishes.  Doubts fade and Love is manifested....felt down to the toes.  God provides.
  Burdens disappear behind blinders.  Paths of hope and direction are reveiled.
 With God front and center, every need is fulfilled.  My way becomes clear.
  I am filled with peace.  He's in control.
 And, He's so good to redirect His ADHD daughter.  His grace is sufficient.  When I struggle, all I need do is ask Him for help.  He knows I struggle and He loves me still. 

Fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith...  
Hebrews 12:2

...Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  
Philippians 3: 13&14

Do not swerve to the right or left; keep your feet from evil.  
Proverbs 4:27

Much Love,
