We do not have to do life alone-Thank God!
Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says,
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (New International Version).
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly" (The Message).

It doesn't matter if you are Catholic or Protestant, Father Corapi's conversion story (condensed version) is very interesting to listen to.
Before becoming a priest, he was everything from a millionaire in LA, to a drug addicted homeless person.

Thanks for another day brightener!
I do feel weary and burdened lately, so I find it so inspirational that God offers me rest.

MDW,
I enjoyed reading about how your daughter got you to church yesterday and also to go forward for communion.
God is so loving and forgiving. It doesn't matter what is in our past that makes us feel unworthy, He is always there for us, drawing us near.
The love of God is shining down upon you and your daughter.

Hi precious friends,
I look forward to responding to your posts. It will probably be this evening.
Lymetoo, yes the flooding is really bad. I'll share what happened to me. Thank God we are never alone!!!
At 6:02 yesterday morning I posted "God Thought" and shortly after that was driving to work. I had no idea when I left the house that I would be so thankful, "WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO LIFE ALONE!" (that's how my post started yesterday morning).
Anyway...
I got caught in the OKC FLASH FLOOD on the freeway! There were cars in front of me and a large, deep body of growing water in front of them. I looked in my rear view mirror, cars were quickly piling up behind me.
The water continued to rise like the ocean's tide coming in. It was thundering, lightning and pouring down rain. There was nothing to do but wait. Several hours went by as the water became higher and higher. I could see the water covering the tires of the cars ahead of me and then around me. I could feel the water swooshing under the car. That was erie.
Finally, the water started coming into my car starting with the right rear passenger side, then the rear driver's side, (I called 911), then the front passenger side, but when I could see it filling right there where I was sitting (called 911 again but they already had their hands full)....that was it-I looked around to see what my options were. There was no choice-I had to back up. (I was calm, thanks to God, and didn't realize how stressed I was until I put my foot on the accelerator and began backing up. My right foot and leg began to shake.)
I started honking my horn and just started backing up. When the people behind me saw I wasn't giving up they started backing up. I was able to backup about 20'. The cars in front of me followed suit.
To make my four and a half hour ordeal short...I didn't make it into work but I did, FINALLY, make it safely home!!!
Please pray for the people who have lost so much due to the OKC floods. THANK YOU!

Wow, how terrifying for you and those other people!
I am thanking God that you are safe and used your head in a crisis to find a way out.
Your post for today is sooo fitting.
I will pray for the people in OK.
Big hugs to you after that harrowing ordeal.

OH MY!! If you had been a little faster getting off to work your car could have been completely flooded over. ( or worse )
Thank God for His many blessings!!

I said a prayer yesterday when I read about the floods. I was really worried for you and yours.
I'm so happy your God was protecting you. Have the flood waters calmed down and were you able to make it to work?

Hi friends,
I am thanking God right now for the wonderful Skype call I got from my son this afternoon from Iraq.
He got booted off the internet 8 times, but called back each time.
Until today, I have had phone calls, but this is the first time I was able to see his face in real time.
It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you God, you are awesome too!!!!!!!!!

Hi All,
G and I are doing really well. We met up at Starbucks for a date, just arrived home. It is exciting to read your posts.
MDW, Surrender is a good place to be...today and everyday. I'm speaking from experience . Our God is worthy, and we can trust Him with our lives. REST is good! Each Sunday before we go to church we watch "Hour of Power". There is always something inspiring and positive shared. Last Sunday was exceptional. Yeah, that couple-they sure have been through a lot...and not giving up. What an inspiration! Dan Chun, A E I O U, good "stuff" and he was funny too.
Dekrator, I was thrilled to read about your son and Skype!! WOW!! the technology today is wonderful--all the way from Iraq!! I am woohooing and worshiping God with you!!!!!!!! I've not watched the link on Father Corapi yet, but I will. Appreciate you sharing with us. From a millionaire to a homeless person-that's a big difference. REST is good (think there is a theme going).
Lymetoo, and everyone else, I too, am just so thankful to the Lord. (My poor hubby, I didn't even think about it when I took pictures with my phone and emailed them to him. By the time I sent him the pictures of the water coming into the car, he was stressing out. YIKES! Poor guy. He wanted to come rescue me. Well, even 911 couldn't get to us. I remained calm and I think that helped him.) The situation yesterday could have been so much worse. I thank God for His peace and grace and love and EVERYTHING!
Thank you all for your prayers. He is an awesome God!!
Going to take it easy now and go to bed early, too. REST is good.

"God is love." 1 John 4:18 (New International Version)
"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 (New International Version)

Love is AWESOME!!
My mother called and we talked for an hour. and when we hung up with each other;I hugged the phone. I love her so dearly.
I also love God: He loved "me" last night and stayed with me. I had a night terror last night and screamed(So I was told) when awakened I was so terrified I could not fall back asleep. MY Father stayed with me for two hours until I drifted off to sleep on the couch.
I LOVE my new friends here: When I came down-stairs from my evil dream; I came here! I read verses and listened to all the songs posted in the last few weeks.
Thank you DAISY and All my new friends.

MDW,
My son is doing well considering where he is...thanks for asking.
It was 131 degrees there yesterday! I can't even imagine how hot that is.
He is working really hard fixing large armored vehicles...long 12 hr days...says they are really busy.
It made me soooo happy to see his beautiful face.
When I hung up from our Skype call I just sat here and cried because I was so grateful for the opportunity to see him.
He showed me around his room using the Skype camera. We talked about 40 minutes total even with getting booted off the internet 8 times.
It was sooo wonderful....thanking God again!!
And MDW, I LOVE your new signature!!! Wonderful!!

I just read the posts from today and have a big grin from ear to ear. Is God good or what?! WOW!!
And as I read what you all wrote...I couldn't help but think-His LOVE really does never fail!!
We are so blessed!
Hi TS, Good to read your post. It IS inspiring to see how God is drawing and leading MDW. And I am with you-His love keeps me going.
MDW, It is obvious you and your Mom are close. That's wonderful. Appreciate you sharing about the dream and how you were not alone! Questions? We're all here to do whatever we can to be a blessing. It does feel good to feel good...and you know, that even effects healing too-for the good! (I sure said "good" a lot in that sentence.) About the "tough"...yep, they, I mean, WE, know where our help comes from!
Dekrator, I always love hearing the news about your son. 131 degrees...WHAT! That's crazy. I do not have the words to say how I feel about your son serving in the military for our great USA and for me! Andrew is in my prayers.
We all have so much to be thankful for. It is great to have a place we can come to be encouraged and to encourage others.
I could go on and on but will stop for now and close with a scripture that makes a huge difference in my life...
"Finally, brothers (friends), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." Philippians 4:8 (New International Version)

Daisy, Could you have given me a less complicated start in the Bible? John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."? John 11:04 "This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God,so that the son may be glorified through it." ?
well I kept reading on to 11:44 Lazarus dies and then he is resurrected.
Was this to get the people to believe in the resurrection, then made Jesus....Hold on, need to look up glorified in the dictionary...ok, look more glorified in the eyes of man?
You also had mentioned me reading some of Revelation...WAY over my head!
I sometimes read right to left and read the part about Jezebel and decided I was not ready for Revelations.
I think i'll stick with John and Noahs Ark. Diane

How fun to read above...I am
kam, great verse! We need that one in our arsenal for sure!
MDW, I think you're going to become the theologian on this thread. I think I need to give you a link to a Bible Commentary online.
OK, about Revelation...I don't want anyone to think I encouraged you to read through that book, oh no way, ha ha. It was just one small part, very exciting part. A part that I live for...when there is a new heaven and a new earth!!!!!
Revelation 21:3-4, "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
In Genesis we see God walked and talked with Adam and Eve...then sin and separation...then the rest of God's Love Letter (the Bible) is God drawing people to Himself wanting a relationship with His masterpiece of all creation-and He is still wooing us today, He wants a relationship with us--Hello?! That's amazing!! Hallelooooo!!
These verses in Revelation are so special to me because God is like saying (my interpretation) FINALLY!!!! YEAH!!!! We are walking together and talking together, you see you ARE MINE! I'm drying your tears, no more crying, pain is done away with...
Friends that is pretty exciting to say the least.
OK, I just arrived home...took my remedies a little bit ago and now I'm going to go eat. (I"ve always wanted to use that Graemlin, finally it fit.)
Happy, happy, happy evening to everyone!!!

Hi Kam,
I found this for you:
Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
I hope you are not afraid anymore.

Morning to all my friends,
I am going to have a fearless day.
Like that verse daisy: "The joy of the Lord be your strength."
Last night I went to bed with a smile I could not wipe off...actually I was that way all day.
I was informed that I was wierd... I asked "why do you say that?"
Response was: You are in pain(with LD of course) and you are happy, a wierd happy. What happened the other night?
I smiled even bigger and said;"It was between me and my God!"
Your quote Daisy: WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO LIFE ALONE!"
Have a joyful day.

Dekrator, so true...isn't MDW's smile and joy contagious. It is great to have the smile of God on us, nothing beats it! and halleloooo!!
"The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face to smile upon you..." Numbers 6:24-25
Attitude, and Goditude, makes a big difference in life and living. This is going to be hard to believe, but I know you've seen it too, perfectly healthy people without Lyme and they are so miserable. Seems to be their attitude or lack thereof.
"We CAN do all things through Christ who gives us strength." Philippians 4:13
Cheated..."Gospel of John"...what a great kind of cheat. LOL! Enjoy!
I slept in today, finally!!!! G and me getting ready to go to an outdoor Farmers Market.

daisy,
I am happy that you slept in and got some extra rest.
I spent from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm going to yard sales.
I found a couple things for my friend's granddaughter, and my grandsons...not much else today.
Getting ready to go to my grandson's ballgame soon and then swimming because it is HOT!
I wish we could load up some "Goditude" into an crop-dusting airplane and spray it all over everyone!
Hope you found some goodies at the farmer's market..there's nothing like fresh produce.
My head and neck are hurting but I am rejoicing because I am alive to enjoy this day.
Hope you, and everyone,are having a joyous day!

PS... Could you guys pray for my husband? He woke up this morning with vertigo. He missed two gigs today because he knew he wouldn't be able to go....
and he needs to play for church tomorrow.. two services. He has no back-up for when he's gone.
Please pray!
(I was able to get hold of our dr this morning at the hospital... whew! Thank goodness for that man!)

Lymetoo,
I will pray for your husband for healing from the vertigo.
How great that your Dr was available today when you needed him!

Lymetoo... Yes, I will say a prayer for your husband.
dekrator... I love yard sales, I think I have been to only one this year. So sorry you are hurting today.
daisy... Love farmers markets, have not gone this year didn't have the energy to can foods plus too hot to heat up house with the whole canning process. It's about time you slept in and let the birds wake before you.
Diane

Thanks guys.. The prayer is working. He is feeling better (has meds now of course) and hopes to be able to play tomorrow.
The only hitch is that it usually hits him at night or early morning... so we won't know until bright and early tomorrow morning if he can make it or not.
( I told my husband that we were lucky he woke up at 6 a.m. with this.. probably would not have caught the dr at the hospital later in the day. I figured he was there checking on patients. )

Daisy, Explain "fear" Him. I thought I was to run to Him, not fear him? You are confusin me!

As I think of all the wonderful things He has done for me, WOW daily, I can't help but "fear" Him--stand in awe, have great respect--not to mention thank and worship Him!!

Fear is more of a "very healthy respect"... he is mighty and omniscient and we must remember the consequences of our actions always. That involves a bit of fear!
But mostly it is one of bigtime RESPECT.
(Didn't you always fear your dad just a bit when you got fussed at!?) But you still ran to him when you needed him!

Dekrator, Thanks. I love yard sales, can't remember the last time G and I went. Need to do that soon and just pick around and have fun meeting people. Oklahoma has interesting people...let me tell ya folks.
What you said, "I wish we could load up some "Goditude" into a crop-dusting airplane and spray it all over everyone!"
About the Farmers Market-among the stuff bought...local/grass-fed/hormone-antibiotic free steaks, also asparagus. Yummy dinner tonight, it's almost ready.
So sorry your head and neck are hurting but glad you didn't let that stop you from getting out to enjoy your full day of fun planned. Said a prayer for you.
Lymetoo, so glad to see that update on your husband. Yes, you have my prayers!
MDW, canning?! No way. I'm with you on that, seriously, I wouldn't even know where to start canning. I'm not the cook in our family, G does all the cooking, always has.
The birds didn't wake me this morning...I slept sooooo sound!
See you next time everyone.
Isn't it great that we are always in His care...no matter what!!

Thank you Lymetoo.... Makes lots of sense. I am appreciative of the hands reaching out to help me understand and I'm sure God is giving you lots of patience in dealing with a beginner. Learning my ABC's and tying my shoes was a whole lot easier.
Daisy...Sorry if I messed up your Topic "God Thought." Looking at most of your posts(while attempting to gain some perspective) You have a verse for us to think about for the day, each day. And then I come in here with perpetual guestions
Canning yes, I love canning fresh vegies and peaches.

This is not my thread, it's our thread, second thought it's Our Father's thread. May He take it wherever He wants!

So....I went on YouTube looking for something for Our Father's Day and found this...
I can't believe it-these are my favorite scriptures (I think they were "stolen" from "God Thought")

MDW,
Thanks.
Hope you know I apreciate your inquisitiveness on "God Thought".
I don't think you can ever learn too much.
Lymetoo explained that scripture well. Great job, Lymetoo!

Great scripture today, thanks!!!
And, oh boy...that video you posted...well, I'm crying again.
And you are right, I think they did steal those ideas from God Thought! I heard them here before.
Thanks for saying a prayer for me....appreciate that.

I came to the realization today; lyme disease and God don't get respect. Two discussions that are silent diseases in my home.

Yes, more REAL, also with people sharing needs and prayer requests...knowing others care, understand and will pray.
Always good to see you all here. What an encouragement each of you are.
Blessings for a good night's rest and a great week!

Good morning my friends, I found this verse last night in my book of Psalms: Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.
Prayer before I put my head on the pillow: God, thank you for accepting me and handling my broken heart with kindness. I am eager to obey and willing to trust you.
I feel healed this morning, and I am going off for the day and feed the animals at the game ranch with the boys.
Have a wonderful day.
Diane

MDW and Lymetoo,
I enjoyed those songs that MDW heard on the radio and that Lymetoo then found and posted...what a blessing both of you are!!!
That one by Amy Grant is really awesome.
So happy that your husband felt well enough to make it to church Lymetoo!
Great prayer, MDW! Thanks for sharing!!

Good afternoon Dekrator,
Where is our Daisy today? Do you think she is testing us today to come up with a scripture on our own?
Well, I will pass that one on to you!

Hi Friends,
Right after my feet hit the floor this morning, after I took my detox bath and watered my flowers outside (oh, yeah, and talked with my God) I have been busy non-stop...not stressed though...so that's good.
I knew you all would be just fine without me. Now I come and check "God Thought" and am so blessed by what I read.
MDW, Psalm 51:17, He really comes through for those who need Him. Whoa, pity the person that doesn't need God. YIKES! Who is like our Lord?! So gentle, kind and caring!!! I like each of those songs you heard last night..beautiful.
Lymetoo, Amy Grant has a very unique voice. I've enjoyed her music through the years. I really like the one, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105).
Below is a link to the Amy Grant song you were talking about MDW, "Better Than a Hallelujah".
