Hold My Hand

HOLD MY HAND 


At first, I didn't really know what to write for today's blog. Most weeks God has given me the opportunity to watch things happening around me which in turn allow me to "SEE" God in the midst of it.  
While there wasn't any one specific thing that I was seeing this week, there WAS one common theme that seemed to be echoing all around me. . . Uncertainty, with maybe a little combination of fear. 

Although we are certain that tomorrow the sun will rise.  
We aren't certain about what challenges this life will bring when it does. Likewise, even though we have been reminded many times by others that there are 365 occurrences in The Word to "not fear,"  if we are honest, we can admit sometimes that's easy to read and not so easy to walk. 

I may not know what your current world looks like. . . what your circumstances, your trials, or through what valley the Lord may be allowing you to walk. And while, each of our circumstances may not look the same, we are all being pressed, molded, pruned, or changed in some way. It's scary and we need to be able to grab ahold of something.  

I find that my trust in the Lord through HIS word is what helps me. Its consistent, predictable, and TRUE!  That's the amazing thing about Truth... it stays the same. 
So while our surroundings and circumstances may change, the Truth found in God's word doesn't.  

Echoing throughout The Bible is one of my favorite truths; God will always be with us. Isaiah 41:13 "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you Do NOT fear; I will help you!'  

So find a truth in The Bible and anchor yourself to it.  
And while he takes hold of your hand. . . Do not fear and HOLD TIGHT. 






Together we learn to Follow Christ more,

Follower of Christ Friday  November 11, 2020 Ever been looking for a specific themed video on YouTube, instead find something totally unrelated but something you still needed to see? That was me a few years ago when I stumbled upon Author and Speaker, Christine Caine telling some of her testimony.  (warning this may be a lot of parphrase)  She was talking about when she was in seminary how one of her preaching professors pretty much told her that she did terrible, and that she should never teach / preach to an audience again!!  I expected to next hear how it made her mad, and how she vowed to him that she would "show him."   I mean she is Christine Caine, this great motivating woman who currently speaks internationally to thousands of people.  She overcame it somehow.  However, what I wasn't expecting was to to hear what really happened.  She said it absolutely DEFEATED her.  She felt shame!  She questioned her worth! She didn't want to and in fact didn't speak fo

Carrie's Story

Hello! My name is Carrie Hunt! I am 26 years old and live in New Albany where I was born and raised. I’m an assistant teacher at West Union Attendance Center and I’m currently pursuing my bachelors degree to become a certified teacher at Blue Mountain College. It’s true when God gives you a calling, you have to follow it! I really don’t discuss personal things on social media. If you ask me a question in person though, I’m very open and honest. In February this year, I was diagnosed with PCOS(Poly cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS causes many issues for women, reproductive problems, endocrine problems, anxiety and depression.  I don’t let it define me, even on the days where I wish I didn’t have it and just want it gone. Although there is no cure, I choose to fight it, not let it fight me. One in ten million women in the U.S. have it! We are all fighters. I guess I feel the need to discuss it now because I understand it and what it entails. Like I said, I’m an open book. I’m open to discu

Totally in Tuesdays

The Fruitful Woman Happy Tuesday and welcome to another look at The Fruitful Woman. This week will finish out the series. I have enjoyed looking at the Fruit of the Spirit from  Galatians  5 and I pray you have to.  Today brings in our last fruit. The last piece of the puzzle. The last quality of a woman who is in living in a love relationship with God. The final reward. Temperance. Temperance- moderation in action, thought, or feeling: restraint, self-control Self-control - the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations. It’s no accident that Paul listed temperance as the very last Fruit of the Spirit. God led Him to place this challenging character trait at the very end. My guess; is because self-control is impossible without all the other qualities being instilled first. Without my daily walk with God, without my quiet time with Him, without by obedience t
