He has a plan, hold on...

Anyone who knows me well will tell you I am NOT a loner, I am blessed to give my heart to those I love, so, being single at 43 is not where I had planned on being; however, God had a different thought process. And, His ways are much higher and better than mine. Today's devotional words, and scriptures, reminded me that trying to find peace and contentment in anything or anyone other than Him is not where a joyful life is found. Everyday I pray for strength and wisdom as I walk this journey with Him, and when it gets so lonesome I am tempted to make unwise choices, I will squeeze His hand a little tighter and trust He has a plan.

Jeremiah 29
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Bowing Out Gracefully



Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? 
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you.
 (Is. 43:19a; 2 Chronicles 20:17a)

Sometimes, no matter how hard it is, a girl just has to bow out gracefully, cut her losses, let the Lord heal her wounds and bring her peace.  Her passion and determination are admirable qualities when wisely spent, but weaknesses when foolishly spent on a battle God never intended her to fight.
