Happy First day of summer!
The way the temps have been the last few days, I do think summer is here! It has been absolutely gorgeous in the early mornings though, with the cool breeze and beautiful sunrises. Absolutely awesome! Our God is GREAT!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistires: Genesis 17:15-22 and 18:10-15 ~ Sarah laughed at God's promise because it seemed impossible. Are you waiting on something from God? Don't laugh ~ believe!
Did you notice that Sarah's name is changed here as well? From Sarai to Sarah! The mother of nations! Wow! I think I would have probably laughed a little too - after all, Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90! However, as is written: "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" 18:14
Nothing is impossible with God! What are you waiting on - something you think can never happen? As Lisa typed, don't laugh, but believe!
Have a great day!

Tuesday, June 19th - Genesis 16
Good Morning!
I am ready for a new day! Are you? I pray that I embrace every opportunity that comes my way today to share the love of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May I shine brightly for Him wherever I might be today!
Lisa's tweets: LMRMinistries: Genesis 16 ~ God promised Sarah that she'd have a son - but she got frustrated with how long it was taking God, so she tried to do things "her" way
LMRMinistries: It didn't turn out too well. Do you ever get tired of waiting on God? He never changes & He is never late. Learn from Sarah!
I really relate to this passage! I try and get ahead of God and always wind up wondering why in the world I would do that as I know HIS timing is perfect and He is never late with anything!
There are some things that I am still waiting on, but I trust and know that He will provide when the time is right and if it is in His will for my life!
Let's all learn from Sarah!

Monday, June 18th - Genesis 11:29; 17:15-16
Good Morning!
Another work week begins! Are you ready? I am! Let us go forth and SHINE!!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Sarah ~ Originally named Sarai - Genesis 11:29. God changed her name - to mean "Princess" - when He promised she'd be the mother of nations - Genesis 17:15-16
Sarah was in her 90's when God changed her name and told her she would be the mother of nations. Can you imagine? I have never gone through labor with a child, but I hear it is quite painful. Sarah was 90!! Abraham was 100!!
God evidently gave them all the energy they needed to keep up with the son He gave them.
Therefore, I know that HE will provide all the strength and energy I need on a daily basis to raise my children in His ways.
God is good all the time - All the time God is good!

Sunday, June 17th - Numbers 12
Good Morning!
I am back and apologize for the time I didn't post much on the blog. It has been a rough three weeks, but God is good and has comforted me and taught me and held me! I am so very thankful for my sisters that have prayed for me and the kids and helped us through some difficult times. There is more on the horizon, but I know that I will not be defeated and that I am victorious in Christ! He is with me every step of the way! Hallelujah! I will sing His praises all the days of my life!
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Numbers 12 ~ Miriam's life shows us what happens when we get jealous of others in leadership and focus on ourselves. God removes blessings.
Jealousy is a horrible thing. God does not tolerate it as we are witness to Miriam's leprosy. We should guard our hearts and not become jealous. It is hard at times, but if we ask, God is good to lead and guide and provide answers and help in our times of need.
Do not take your eyes off of the prize - off the Lord Jesus - who has gone ahead to prepare a place for us in Heaven - eternity!
