So Many Reasons to Trust God...
« on: December 19, 2007, 09:51:31 AM »

I am working a temp-to-perm assignment at a very large company where, for the most part, I am amongst very nice people. However, my immediate supervisor changes her moods more often than I can explain and she addresses my coworker and me in a very condescending and rude manner. I'm not one for biting my tongue, but I've had to the entire time I'm here and her behavior is worsening. On top of that, other people in her department have taken to speaking to us in the same manner.

I was out of antidepressant medication for a week and I felt myself becoming very sensitive to things I would normally pray through and ignore. Now I'm sensitive to the idea that I may not be able to be "myself" without medication and that's something I just do not want to accept. However, I know that, if I want to be the joyful, impervious, unmovable woman I was before, I will have to stop eating so many sweets---something I've struggled with for nearly two decades. I know, without question, those things negatively affect my moods.

So, I guess my poetic prayer/counsel request is for strength to stand and overcome; strength to trust and obey through; strength to resist the temptation to destroy my temple and lash out at those who would persecute me. I need to cherish and bless the dozens of reasons I have to trust God in this season. Please give me your best shot -- even if it's in the form of admonishment and chastisement. I need to breakthrough once and for all in this area. I appreciate whatever the Lord will say through you all...peace...

We'd all like an instant breakthrough
Where our trials would quickly disappear
But when things become too easy
sometimes we neglect to hear

Like Paul, who had a thorn in the flesh
We suffer at times with this malady
It causes us discomfort so we'll keep searching
To the only One who can truly make us free

My thorn is in my mind,
Where the battleground is wrought
With what ifs, why's, and regrets
This is where my weakness is fought

But just let it go away for a season
And I get so comfortable with me
He still has so much to teach this soul
So I can finally and completely be free

We have to learn to accept
Whatever trials come our way
In acceptance comes release
In acceptance our hearts will not stray

If with these trials you despair
Just firmly plant your feet
He will school you in His Righteousness
Lay all of your burdens at His Feet

Smile in the face of your adversaries
Bless them in spite of their abuse
Do not let them see they have hurt you
The Lord God is your glorious refuge!

Blessings,

Catherine M. Howell
Forgiven

IF AT ALL POSSIBLE . . . .BE AT PEACE!

Sometimes my sista on this Christian journey
We encounter some twists and turns
Our road one day may be a bed of ease
But then on others . . . It comes with burns

You know that sting from words that are thrown at us
From some of our colleagues and our peers
That dagger that cuts us to the core
And it brings a flow of trickling tears

Well what do you do . . . Where do you go? Huh

??
When you've done your best to stand
You've bitten your tongue now long enough
So that on bended knees . . . Is where you land

Crying out to God . . . The Lord Above
The Ruler and Maker of all mankind
The Creator of this entire universe
Who knows the thoughts yet on our mind

You know the thoughts we have to lash right back
And get revenge for what they've done
The thoughts to spue some venom back
And feel like the victory has been won

But let's go back my friend . . . To the Word of God
And hear just what He has to say
Like . . . If it's possible my daughter . . . To be at Peace with men
Well then . . . Right there . . . Is where you stay

But know there are times my friend . . . In this Christian walk
That may not be possible to do at all
And in those moments when it seems this is the case
Then I recommend the Name to call

J E S U S!

In His Eternal Love & Service,
God's Handmaiden

Qu in our own strength we can do nothing.....but through Christ Who strengthens us, we can do all things!

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Romans 12:17-18 - Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Amplified Version)

It takes but just a moment to hear what He will say . . .
So take the time to listen!

Psalms 25:14 - The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; And He will shew them His covenant.

Psalms 34:8-9 - O taste and see that the Lord is good: Blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.
