I love to read. I especially love to read books aimed at helping me be a better person and have a better relationship with God. Sometimes life throws you for an insane loop and there aren't any books to help you know what to do. I'm a planner and sometimes more than anything I want a plan. I want the "right" words to say and I want to know the exact way to fix something or help someone.
I don't want to go into all the details, but between me working 3 jobs, Ray's unemployment struggles, and the passing of Ray's close friend due to cancer things are....well....stressful. So I'm turning to the only book that can help: The Bible.
"Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:7
"Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Psalm 61:1-2
"In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress....For you have been my hope, O Soverign Lord, my confidence since my youth." Psalm 71 1-3,5
So, if you think of it please pray for us during this rough season. I know that this will pass and that I need to take things one day at a time, leaning heavily on God and His Word for my strength.
We're praying!
