Purpose

"We all possess the thunder of pure fury and the calm breeze of tranquility.  If it wasn't for tomorrow, how much would we get done today?  Whatever your purpose... embrace it completely.  Get lost in the clouds every now and then so you never lose sight of God's wonder."  ~Paul Vitale

I hope this has given you a little laughter in the middle of your busy day!

He Knows!

He saw the storm before it came, He knew what pain it would cause you,
But He wants you to know that He will never leave you or forsake you!
Some trials may be hard to take,
Decisions may crowd your mind,
Some people may get in the way.
Don't fear if your on God's side.
Keep walking and hold on to His hand,
He will make it clear to you which way you should take!

1 Peter 5:7

This verse has encouraged me many times and I hope it encourages you also!

 1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified Bible)

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

Hang in there!

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."  ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

Trust God!

God made the sun, the stars, the sea. He also made you and me. He has the whole universe under his rule but we think that our problems are to big for Him to control. Let go of the fear, the doubt, and the misery of yesterday. Trust God and hold on to His unchanging word for He knows what is best for us today!
