God"s Light and Peace All The Time And My Poem

Another week is half over and things are going pretty good. We had a bit of a scare last week and my daughter had to have some tests done. With lots of prayer we got through it all.  God does answer prayer we got the report back and it was normal so I want to say thank you God. When we pray we sometimes forget the next step of thanking God for his answering our prayers. I share this because not only did God answer our prayer about the tests but God also gave me a peace that helped me and her get through the tests and waiting. Like it says in this verse
 John 14:27 KJV













The one thing we know that God is always in control and that we can trust Him no matter what. He holds our hand and guides us through if we turn to him.







Just like the lighthouse pictured here God is our light to guide us in good times and the storms of life. His light always shines bright and as long as we keep our eyes on the light we will not stray or get lost. I see the lighthouse and I remember that though storms in life come along God is with us lighting our way all we have to do is rely on Him. A verse I like says to not be afraid or discouraged in fact it is a command and one I think of when storms come my way.
Joshua 1:9  NIV "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”


Here is a poem I wrote awhile back I will share again with you. I hope it will lift you up

My Life’s Light

I will trust you where ever you lead me
I will trust you in both the calm and stormy seas
I will follow the path you set before me
I will lean on your love and hope you give me freely
For you are the light that guides my path along my way
You are my guide through each and every day
Like the captain on the sea I will look to the light
Always keeping that beam in my sight.
For you my Lord, are my light
On whom I will keep my sight

God is our Light and here is my verse to memorize this week

John 8:12 KJV  "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."

Happy Dance Internet Again!

Wednesday they installed, after over two year wait, our google fiber and I love it. I am back on my computer not my phone so I will be able to blog again. I have decided to try and have a post at least once a week and on good weeks maybe more. I am so excited to be back up and able to do it again that I found myself giddy all the rest of the week and not wanting to get off the computer. So look for more now from me and hope you all are having a good weekend.
To start I want to share what we did yesterday. We took our little Grandson to Home Depot to build a butterfly house. If you have kids or Grand kids you should try this. It costs nothing and they get to help you or you help them build things. It is good fun and quality time spent with your kids. Here are a couple of pictures of the fun we had.

Look at that grin when he was finished. Priceless.
