His Grace is Sufficient

I awoke. I still had plenty of time to sleep. GOD....you know I haven't been sleeping much these days. Why am I awake now? So I got up and started having that personal time with him. He never lets me down but so many times I don't spend that time with him to the fullest extent that I know he longs for. The following are some of my inspirations from the morning:
I Cor. 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.
And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. 
But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it!

Honestly...temptation is real. The temptation to give up when the pressure gets to great, throw in the towel when going gets tough or turn against God and walk away when he allows us to go through adversity, is a very real temptation. The promise is there...GOD IS FAITHFUL.
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. 
That is why for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships,
in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Cor. 12:9,10 

Someone shared this verse with me this morning. It was a challenge. If I worry about tomorrow, I cannot enjoy the blessings he has given me today. God's will will NEVER take me where his grace cannot keep me. "My grace is sufficient." It is in these weakest moments that I am made stronger.
Prov.19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

I have many plans ideas and thoughts but God's perfect ways will be made known. It is one thing to talk about trusting God. It has become true reality when events of my day or life challenge my mind, will and emotions to trust God when it is NOT comfortable.

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
