Devastation

Everywhere you look.  It's either flooding or dry as a bone and burning up. 

The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.  Isaiah 58:11


A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.  Psalm 34:19

I pray for these people suffering from drought, wind, fire, flooding, loss of everything.  I pray that they will find peace from God in the midst of their trials, that they will be comforted and that if they do not know God, they will find him...that someone, somewhere will show them the love of Jesus. 

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;  My hope comes from him.  He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.  Psalm 62:5-6

I am learning, regardless of what I see with my eyes...the physical realm...God is bigger than ANYTHING.  He is always true...with my house selling, it literally looked as if we would not move...we had 3 people look at our house in 8 months...the house we wanted to buy was shown about 4 times weekly and that is not an exaggeration.  But.  The Lord told me over a year ago that we would move and it would be to that home~he even told me the price we would pay!  I felt like every other day was a new roadblock that could not be overcome, but I chose to stand on his promise that he gave me and spoke his word, calling my house sold while no one was even looking, calling the other home mine when others were making offers.  God does prevail, he never leaves and he does not lie!  The last year has been a huge growing period for me...I feel like I have been somewhat "refined" but be assured, there is much more to do!  I share this because I want others to be encouraged...don't be discouraged.  God never disappoints.  I am still believing for my oldest, ZB to be healed of diabetes.  Whenever he is having a bad day, I choose to thank God he's already healed and not go by what I see with my own eyes. (yes, I do still treat him and take care of him...geez. ;)

Well, now that this has turned into a sermon post...I'll end with pics! {smile}
Thanks to those who offered words of wisdom on picture editing in Picnik...it's working great, its slow and I have MANY pics to edit!  I hope to figure out today, how to upload more than 1 at a time...

Well.

Of course they are sideways.

{sarcasm}

And they won't rotate. 

{sarcasm}

They look right in my picture library.

When downloaded, they turn and will NOT.

I repeat. NOT turn back.

Why must I be so challenged in the

techy part of life?????

Anyways...these are my nephews.
