If God hadn't been for us
when everyone went against us,
We would have been swallowed alive
by their violent anger,
Swept away by the flood of rage,
drowned in the torrent;
We would have lost our lives
in the wild, raging water.
You are the same God who got them through the Red Sea...You never change...You never leave...
Whatever I come to You will get me through...gonna remember THAT today...

The Love Dare Day 7....Your spouse is a living, breathing , endless book to be read. Dreams and hopes have yet to be realized. Talents and abilities may be discovered like hidden treasure. But the choice to explore them starts w/a decision by you.
Confession(s) if I don't like a book I don't finish it or I read ahead to discover the end. I choose to believe the end....I can't read this one ahead...I choose to keep reading...I am blessed that he is a very good read.....he really is you know a very good read.... this morning I read in 2 Cor. 7-10 Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,
My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

Remembering Dan last nite w/this young couple wanting answers, advice...watching my husband quietly w/ such an attractive humility tell them it's about you. I know he had advice in there...he asked questions...he helped them discover and think differently....he gently helped them begin that journey of self discovery.....he simply pointed them to You ...
I see it in Dan Abba, the less of him I see, the more of You shines...the more of You he looks for and to... the more he shines Abba...he shines...:) Thank You for allowing us this going on 33 years......
