Child, you do hear Me. Fear not just because I am not speaking forth completed roadmaps at this time. Know that My timing is perfect and I know the plan, you and I are right on schedule. REST.
Numbers 24:4
Psalm 95:6-8
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts…. (NIV)
Psalm 27:3
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. (NIV)
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (NIV)
Psalm 20:4
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. (NIV)
Proverbs 16:9
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. (NIV)
Prayer: Dear Jesus, I am trying to REST in your arms as we await the blood test results on the kitten we'd like to adopt. I realize it could be a blood test on one of us with much more dire consequences. Thank You that I don't need a roadmap or a GPS because I have you, my Jesus, my Lord! Thank you that You truly go before us and prepare the way. Help that to seep into the core of me! AMEN.

I guess I am a full time writer along with being tree lady, cooking healthy meals, keeping house, taking care of kitties and being my hubby's secretary...GRIN
Oh my, Marijo! The times I've wanted to know where/what God is doing next! But then, I wonder, how much do I really want to know. It is in my best interest to rest in God's timing and wisdom. Thanks for sharing your heart.Yah, I am one who wants the triple A trip tick before I get started on the journey - potty stop here, lunch there, turn here stop there... and the Lord wants us to put our hand in His and trust that still, small voice saying "go to the left, go to the right.... "can you imagine Abraham leaving all and not even knowing where he was going or where the Lord was taking him??? WOW. Marijo
Keep it up..good ArticleThanks for dropping by and commenting.
Thank you again Marijo,I need to listen more.Replacing my fear with faith, is my current struggleI need to put my plans aside, relax the reigns and let God.Where I am at, is, where I need to be.HE is SO incredible and will take you places you'd never dream and BLESS the sox off you.....IT is a total adventure - I would never want to go back to where I was before with alcohol and drugs and broken hearts and promises and relationships. You might enjoy reading Meeting Jesus Fave to Face..... Hang in there and hang onto His hand! What a friend and what an adventure! Marijo
Hi Marijo,I believe the Bible mentions 365 a year, "Do not fear." You, Mick and the new kitty are all in my prayers. Have a blessed Christmas!Love, hugs and blessings,MichelleThanks he had a rough night - diarrhea and vomiting - now had kept water and food in for 3 hours! and it crawling on the keyboard table!
The subject of the article is preaching Christianity and Lord Jesus. Ok it is Marijo's option to write a few good words for every one. Its a free country. But in a site like Warp, where the world community is participating, I take it with a pinch of salt to write religious - Christian; Islamic; Hindu or any other - tinted articles.That is your option but we can still rate those we do not agree with (content) on literary merit - welcome to Searchwarp.....Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I have adopted kittens with FIV; many feral male kittens rescued are positive but do live long and wonderful lives nonetheless.I am sure that rescuing kittens in very poor health is another step on the ladder to Heaven.Your quotes are inspirational and although we differ on the authenticity of this 'book' as Holy,it often has wondrous things to say amidst the craziness, horror, war, vengeance and tyranny of a 'Godso different than the always all loving One True God of the Universe and his chosen Son.He is tested and negative for FIV, FIP and FEZ (or whatever) still having issues with vomiting and diarrhea though... thought it was over but surprised today AFTER I cancelled his vet appt and now we are getting snowstorm so can't go anywhere.....Marijo
