May 2020 ~ different from any other. Still dealing with
Covid-19 and Stay Home measures.
A lot scary, a lot sad . . .
Was shopping at Stop & Shop. Down the card isle.
I notice a whole section of cards empty. Guess what section?
SYMPATHY cards. I just stood there with tears running down
my mask. So telling. I pray for all the folks who had to receive
those cards. And thanked God we have been spared. 
Lysa said it best:
Lord, help us change our typical reactions to hard situations.
Let all that begs us to be impatient birth patience in us.
Let those things that beg us to be angry birth gentleness in us.
Let everything that begs us to be afraid birth courage in us.
We don't want to stay the same. Lysa TerKeurst

Love this one. Devotional by Kelly Balaire
The news tells us we’re powerless.
“Cover your face, or else… ”
“We just don’t know when we will all be okay…”
“There is no telling how many people will die…”
The endless discussion is enough to make even the most faithful Christian weary, tired or uncertain. Many of us have taken down our defenses. Now, it seems we are prey.
We feel powerless.
Yet, we are not powerless. Christ has not left us powerless, but power-full.
“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” (Eph. 1:19-20)
Can you even imagine? The same power that raised Christ from the dead AND seated him in the place of honor — is for us!!!
This is not theory or hearsay; this is truth.
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (2 Tim. 1:7)
We have a spirit of power.
Power to turn off the TV.
Power to pray.
Power to love.
Power to say I don’t agree with what I am hearing.
Power to use wisdom in accordance with peace.
Power to rise above the mayhem and into God’s rest.
Power to cast what is bothering us unto God.
Power to engage with God’s Word.
Power to have great faith.
Power to see God’s great moves in action.
Power to bless and heal others, through Christ’s love.
We are not powerless — like the enemy wants us to feel — we are power-full!
The difference between the two is often the difference between mental health and deterioration.
Prayer: Father God, I thank you that you have not left me powerless. You have not deserted me. You have not left me behind. I am not without a friend. Jesus is my friend. You are my Father. I have family. I am loved. It is well with my soul. It is well in my world. You have given me power, through Christ, to effect godly change in this world. And, I will do so! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Red Nose Day

Hubby and I went to Walmart
first time since March when all this started
God blessed me with quite the buy.

This is where I am growing in my walk with Jesus
Truly focused on learning to let it ALL go and cast, lean in,
rely, trust, rest in HIM 💓
Learning a lot from Joyce Meyer on trust.
So tired as Joyce says, of "going around the same mountain! "
