God is so good to bring opportunities and wonderful people into our lives. He blesses us with insights and shows us Jesus through others.
This morning I was humbled and excited to join Gina Miles on 103.9 Fm THE Fish radio to discuss gossip, bullying and other unsavory type workplace situations. We took live calls which was a new and thrilling experience. The entire time I'm saying in my thoughts, "God you planned this time and this place for you glory. Show me how to display your love for your people."
Friends, you are not alone if you face these situations. God does have answers, but sometimes he wants us to see Him working through us and sometimes He wants us to see Him work it out in spite of us.
The good news is this. In God, by his mercy, we learn to set boundaries, speak assertively, respond and not react to situations, lift others up and love them into loving Jesus. Assertiveness is a trait Jesus exemplified and taught us. Let us with God's help use it wisely to show Jesus to others.
Thank you Gina Miles and THE Fish staff for your kindness and the excitement of sharing God's good news.
To God be the glory.
What a friend we have in Jesus
Well, for an update on selling our home. We've taken it off the market and jumped back into living our lives again plus unpacking. God has said,"Stay." For now, I sign in relief at now needing to keep our home in perfect order or the dust at bay. As we way find through the boxes of stuff I'm seeing God at work even in the midst of masking tape,dusty boxes and memories associated to objects. This too, God has given us to do and I will honor His design to accept the gifts of memories.
God is good and I trust His will to stay in our home is in His plan and by His timeline. My husband has been updating and remodeling a few rooms already. He says that as long as we are here we might as well enjoy our time and improvements. Now that's a great attitude and has helped me move my disappointment into the positive. My Lord Jesus didn't own a home because the entire world is His yet Jesus showed us the hospitality of God the Father as He welcomes us into His home, the mansion that Jesus has gone ahead to prepare for us. Now that, my friends, is a grand moving day. Thank you Jesus.
To God be the glory.
God says stay!
