I’m joining Gypsy Mama today for 5 Minute Friday.  This is where we write for 5 Minutes … no planning or editing, just writing to see what comes out.  The topic today is: TRUST.

Start 5:56am

I had a dream the other night that I approached an intersection.  I saw a whirlwind to the right of me — just ahead.  I hesitated, but then said, “Ok, I TRUST you Lord” and I stepped inside of the whirlwind.

TRUST

That is a word I use a lot around here with the Lord.  So many things are out of my hands and I choose to trust God with each situation.  The main “situation” in my life is caring and providing for my parents.  The burden isn’t that I have to provide day-to-day care, because we pay an agency to be there 24/7, but the financial responsibility weighs on my mind sometimes.  When it starts, I find myself saying, “Lord, it is in Your Hands.  I am trusting that YOU will make a way.”

Another situation on my mind is the condition of this world and the crazy decisions our congress makes.  What type of America will our daughter know?  TRUST.

I certainly pray that the people of America will repent and follow Jesus, but what if they don’t?  TRUST.  We were born for such a time as this.  None of this is a surprise to God.

We are to trust God with childlike faith.

These little lyrics are running through my mind, “Trust and obey.  For there is no other way.  To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.”

Do you trust Him?

Stop:  6:01am

Feathers are in style!

Good morning everyone! Many of you know we purchased chickens (26 to be exact) in March, 2011.   We created a chicken coop out of a shelter on the side of what we call the car house.   It was fine to start with and much bigger than what most chickens enjoy … Did you hear it? …

In the air here!

What is in the air? Love! Saturday night my husband took our daughter to their first Father-Daughter dance.  She was SO excited!  Sorry for the fuzzy photo, she was moving and I was using my iPhone. Here she is right BEFORE her daddy saw her.  She was excited about the BIG reveal! She and her…

That does it!

Sunday morning started off with me turning on the TV while I was getting ready for church.  First I landed on some channel with a pastor chatting with someone at a table.  They were discussing the Bible and I heard a couple of religious comments that made me want to change the channel, but then…

Temptation got me. I was weak.

I finally succumbed … I told myself and everyone else that I would NEVER do it! I knew that Facebook and my Blog already stole too much of my time. I did not want to take on ONE MORE distraction! But my friend, also known as Carolina Mama, caught me in a moment of weakness…

Feel like capturing something today?

This morning I picked up my 1984 version of the NIV Study Bible.  I was reading in 2 Corinthians and stumbled upon one of the footnotes that stopped me. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not…
