Inspiration
I was surprised and very pleased that one of my photographs on Instagram …
Early morning off the deck at the cottage before heading out for a ride with the Rat Portage Cycle Club to Reddit … was an inspiration for a wonderful piece of art!
Sky Silhouettes from Dawn Schmidt I’ve taken to calling these trees the Three Sisters.

Feet
“How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!”
Isaiah 52:7 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/isa.52.7.NLT
“And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!””
Romans 10:15 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/rom.10.15.NLTConnecting OT and NT with a revelation, for me anyways. ?

Resonate
A lot of my posts may seem a bit random, and they are! They are just things or topics that spark my interest. I think that generally blogs have a theme that golf all the posts together. More like my “journey” blog. This blog, not so much.
Up until now I’ve put a lot of these posts in the “grab bag” catagory. But really, these posts are something that for what ever reason “resonate” with me, things hat I think are important to me. Most likely they are of little or no importance to others.
These resonating posts are a breadcrumb trail of my life and thoughts. Not everthing, but some things. Perhaps one day they will be more important to others.

Trust or Control.
From today’s devotion…
The problem, however, is that trust and control do not coexist. You can have control or you can have trust, but you can’t have both. This presents a challenge considering that throughout scripture, God’s instruction to us is to trust Him. In fact, we often see that God’s guidance does not include the final picture nor are all the details known.
Following God surrendering control to Him.
With long life He will satisfy me.

He is mighty to save…
when I need saving.
When I enter into the arena of anxiety about a possible issue, it’s as if I’m going into battle alone against that issue. His strength and power is available to us as we need it. I have seen Him provide peace, strength, and help so many times in my life when I needed it. But His Word does not promise strength and help before we need it. I might be facing the news of a bad diagnosis and all of the health challenges that come along with it, but until I am actually facing it, I do not have His strength and help for this particular issue or crisis. This reminder has helped me relinquish fears and trust that no matter what happens, He is mighty to save…when I need saving.
Such a good devotion, real! -
Thanksgiving: Thankful
I’m happy to be Yours. That closing sentence really resonated with me this morning during devotions when this prayer came up from the list.
Thank you
I’m grateful
Jesus, thank You for Your life on earth—for the time You spent teaching us, loving us, and suffering on our behalf. I’m grateful You made a way for us to have an eternal relationship with You. You are my everything—I’m happy to be Yours. Amen.

Help me live a life that reflects who you are
“God, I know your desires and plans for my life are much better than what I could come up with on my own. Show me the best way to live, and give me a genuine desire to follow your ways. Help me live a life that reflects who you are. Amen.”
From Pray Through the Psalms: Day 13 • Devotional
The “help me to live a life” caught my attention. Don’t we all need help in how we live our life?
And then there was one of my favorite verses.

My Mom
Every time I come to this verse I think about my Mom.
On one of the rare times we talked about faith, it was just the two of us and she shared about driving home from the funeral of her brother Ken in Montreal. She said this verse got her through some tough time.
“I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there? (No!)
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!”
Psalms 121:1-2 NLT
