For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)

Today I was in the grocery store, waiting at the deli for a pound of turkey.  There was another man who had asked for a pound of turkey right after me, only he had asked for “cracked pepper turkey” and I had asked for “garlic and herb turkey”.  The woman who was helping him reached for the turkey that was laid out for me and went to use this for the man.  She was about to give him the wrong deli sliced turkey to take home.  I leaned in and let her know what kind of turkey it was and the simple mistake was easily straightened out.

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. (John 21:25)

Today was a day of celebration.  My husband and I headed to the beach after church today to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior.  Every where I went I made sure to say, “Happy Resurrection Day!”  There is a difference between this and Happy Easter!  It all started at breakfast with our waitress.  She said, “Happy Easter” and I said “Happy Resurrection Day!”  She said, “You’re right, that’s what it’s all about!”  It was an exciting beginning, especially after a great service at church.  Our pastor talked about the things in this world that we thirst for and the only thing that can truly quench our thirst is Jesus.  Read more

Life in the E.R. ~ Psalm 119 Part 9

/0 Comments/in /by

Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope. My comfort in my suffering is this:  Your promise preserves my life. The arrogant mock me without restraint, but I do not turn from your law. I remember your ancient laws, O LORD, and I find comfort in them. Indignation grips me because of the wicked, who have forsaken your law. Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge. In the night I remember your name, O LORD, and I will keep your law. This has been my practice:  I obey your precepts. (Psalm 119:49-56)

Last week I joined millions of viewers who watched the series finale of E.R. on television.  I have enjoyed this drama series because it’s real.  It deals with the ups and downs of personal life, as well as the every day dramas that come into an emergency room.  Life is not always filled with happy endings, at least not on this earth.  The E.R. took in all kinds of patients and was constantly rushing from one patient to another.  The doctors had to make quick decisions and sometimes the results were not happy ones.

But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Yesterday, I took the time to write about how we need to be faithful to God regardless of the circumstances we are in.  I would like to take the time to expand on this, as this last weekend and even today I have experienced God’s faithfulness in my life once again.  His faithfulness has not come in that nice little package with the bow on top, but it has come with the perfect amount of strength I have needed.

This last week I was struggling with a bad migraine and some severe neck pain from post surgery.  I was praying that God would give me enough strength to get through the weekend for a book signing I had on Saturday.  I knew that I wanted to reach lives and see God do great things.  It’s not enough to just show up and sign books.  I always want to be fully engaged with the people I meet and be able to share words of love that God would have me share with people I meet.

…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4, KJV)

May you find God faithful in your life this week.  And even more than that, may you choose to be faithful to God.  Faithfulness to God comes out of a heart that chooses to live daily for Him, despite what the circumstances may be.  Remember, that “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”  When you wake up in the morning, declare that this day will be for the Lord.  May you live it out for Him to the best of your ability.  Read this story about a little boy about to go into surgery and examine your heart today!
