Encouragement for Christian Sisters

Good evening again sisters! I was cleaning out my phone and saw that I forgot to post these videos I took for you. I read about this rest stop before we headed out down the road today, so we decided to check it out.  We pulled in and everyone was busy using the facilities but we were interested in the river:-)  We took a walk down there appreciated the beauty that our Father created.... We appreciate these respites in our life considering most of it is spent in the busy world.  We just left a place that we'd stayed for a few days and every evening it was like all the big, loud trucks were out, revving their exhaust, round and round, bouncing the echoes off the walls.  The leaf and debris blower guy was out and thankfully I fell asleep before the sweeper came around and I didn't wake up which is unusual for me.  Sometimes we don't get to sleep until very late so in the morning we awake to many cars around us, engines roaring and semi trucks running.  We've g

Greetings sisters! Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord Today we stopped for short a time of refreshing at a lake that we really enjoy.  It's along the highway, in fact you can see and hear the traffic roaring by but yet we have this peaceful spot separated from it.  Makes me think of being the peculiar Christians that we are being in the world but not a part of it.  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9) It's always worked out to where there's either no one there or they are way down at the other end.  There are several camp spots along the gravel road, free :-) and with all the fish you want to look at, swimming up by the shore.  We love to sit and take a refreshing break.  

Greetings Sisters! Today I bring this verse to you. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  Abstain from all appearance of evil.  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:21-23) Test all things sisters, especially your flesh to see if it is deceiving you. I know there are times I cannot see clearly because my flesh is in the way but the Spirit fights through for me and when I follow that instead of my flesh, the fight is won.  Praise God for that!  For instance, we've had a lot going the past several months and there were times I allowed my flesh (mind) to have it's way and it began to deceive me into resting in my own strength.  What that does is make you tired and feel weak.  Then it magnifies the issues into something way bigger than you.  But if we test our flesh (thoughts) and see if they are focused pro
