Boy! Did I EVER miss my nap! LOL! I was really drooping come 3:30 or so when I normally shut down the computer and snooze! :)

I actually saw a few wildflowers in the median of the road that I travel to work on. Not many, but an improvement over last year’s zero flowers because of the drought.

My daughter said last year there were just a few bluebonnets and they were lighter blue..They are vivid blue this year...and in some places like a blue river winding through the hills and trees.

I saw my first ever vivid pink Indian paintbrush. I thought they were always orange red.
I missed my nap, too...but packing and touring for more bluebonnets when we left the house kept me alert..I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight.

My SIL took me to place he saw while golfing yesterday ..it was pscked with bluebonnets..I opened the car door and immediately smelled the perfume. The wind has to be blowing the right direction to smell them. I never realized they had a perfume.
You can tell ..I am crazy about wildflowers..LOL.
They knew it and therefore came by and kidnapped me last Saturday night on their way home from Houston.
;o)
It had been a good back day so I threw things in a bag..and off I went.( I paid..”The Back” hates it when I am having fun.)

That was such a wonderful surprise/gift that they gave you by taking you away!

I guess ibuprofen...or something of that nature....will be your friend till the back shuts up. Meanwhile, remember that scent! :)

Ahhhhhhhh.........

Good evening, DD.

I too thought that was a great message to share so I'm glad you liked it.

Still praying for you and the easing of your pain. So glad there is no sign of cancer. PTL!

(I went hunting for your FB page but alas...came up empty handed.)

Avenue To Power

March 26, 2012

When Tarah was in high school, she had a growing fear that she would someday battle a serious illness. So she began to pray—asking God to spare her from this imagined illness. Then she reached a turning point in her thinking, and she yielded her future to God no matter what.

Years later, Tarah’s doctor found a cancerous tumor, which was successfully treated with chemotherapy. Tarah says that because she had entrusted her future to God, she was ready when the disease came. Her problem became an avenue for God’s strength.

This idea of surrendering to God can be seen in Paul’s life as well. His surrender came after the problem­—“a thorn in the flesh”—had developed (2 Cor. 12:7). Paul prayed repeatedly about this difficulty, pleading for the Lord to take it from him. But God responded, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (v.9). Understanding this, Paul adopted a positive view: “Most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. . . . For when I am weak, then I am strong” (vv.9-10).

In facing our fears and struggles, it’s vital that we yield totally to God. When we do, God can use our problems as an avenue for His power.

Whenever life’s burdens oppress you And trials are too much to face, Remember God’s strength in your weakness; He’ll give you His power and grace. —Sper
Wielding our power is no substitute for yielding our will to God’s power.

Read: 2 Corinthians 12:1-10

I will . . . boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. —2 Corinthians 12:9
Bible in a Year:
2 Samuel 13-15
