Jesus Wins! (Already Won!)

Published: Mon, 03/16/20

Hi.

I've spent an hour in my recliner this morning, mostly crying with my Bible on my lap as I let God teach me more of His Truth during one of the biggest challenges we've faced so far.

We know without a doubt that He said "yes" to us taking in our newest 13 and 14 year old boys. So we hang on to this, and we keep looking up as we ask Him how to handle each moment. Indeed, during the past 9 days there have been a lot of "moments," and they are not easy.

The enemy wants me to feel like we can't, we don't, we aren't...but God continues to reassure that we can, we do, and we are - because of His strength. ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS STRENGTH.

I'm fighting to resist the devil so he'll flee. Coming near to God as He continues to draw me in. Jesus wins. He already won. We stand in victory.

Meanwhile in the kitchen...

I'm finding that I have to be very organized yet keep food as simple as possible (what's new?) as we focus on caring for all these precious ones. We are plowing through groceries like nothing I've ever seen before, and that's saying something.

This - and the laundry piles we face - are the least of my worries. These are just physical. They have to be tended to, but they barely matter in the midst of dealing with emotional and spiritual needs. God provides for all of this. He is so good. I'm so thankful for the perspective change.

Truly, we must focus on what actually matters!! His love, His truth, His mercy.

Right now it's hard for me to write a normal email.

But I'm going to attempt it a little bit, because there are some great new posts up worth sharing:

Tips for making Perfect French Toast
Learn how to do a French Twist (hair, not food, ha!)
Should you Give Kids an Allowance?

For the record, I'd gotten ahead on writing posts, so these have been going up on my blog automatically while I've have zero hours of work time. It's like God knew....

Jesus is Lord.

Through each day, each moment, may we all rest confidently in His love.

Seeking His face,
