Thank you for being so transparent and for sharing such an encouraging post despite the many things going on that are discouraging. I count it an honor to pray for these specific things for you.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612716398097555419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-13793872947593537482010-07-28T22:20:34.734-07:002010-07-28T22:20:34.734-07:00What an inspirational post, and the mirror turned ...What an inspirational post, and the mirror turned out great. I needed to hear this, thanks so much. I've spoken to other women about our age, and they seem to be going through the same thing, a bit of apprehension that they haven't felt too much in their life before. I wonder if some of it is premenopause? I'll be glad when that's all over :-)<br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-82062175074070496972010-07-28T21:10:37.713-07:002010-07-28T21:10:37.713-07:00Amen Janette!

Habakkuk is only 3 chapters but wow what a book and lesson in faith. Ps 37 has also been a blessing to me lately.Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356948275526610098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-68241561155424593972010-07-28T06:22:48.994-07:002010-07-28T06:22:48.994-07:00Wonderful post, Janette!

But things change, and sometimes those changes don't feel like they are good at first, but then turn out to be the best thing that could have happened! Only God can know what far-reaching consequences those changes can bring!

You have some wonderful scriptures to hold onto here. So much has changed for me recently too what with having had the breast cancer and the move and all, but I took soo much comfort in KNOWING that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He never leaves or changes or forsakes us. I am constantly amazed at His loves and blessing. Looking for courage with you...and praying always, DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-17220524423964651682010-07-27T17:11:46.366-07:002010-07-27T17:11:46.366-07:00Great post Janette.

I just love all that it says<br />to me.<br />If we keep our eyes on Him at all<br />times we will never be overcome<br />by fear and never defeated by the<br />enemy. Total truth.<br />This was such an excellent word<br />that every single one of us need<br />to hear. We've all been there.<br />Blessings,<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-68673901630651241502010-07-27T15:29:15.953-07:002010-07-27T15:29:15.953-07:00This is so honest and such a strong reflection of ...This is so honest and such a strong reflection of where your heart is.<br /><br />I love that verse that says..."I was young and now I am old and NEVER have I failed to see the hand of the Lord in the land of the living!" <br /><br />That's how it is for each of us... it is a help to remember what He has already brought us through, and also ... 'don't be afraid about tomorrow... He's already there!'...<br /><br />Your heart is reflecting the struggles, but even more... the strong hope because you KNOW He holds you and your family, and like I love to say to myself ... He's not going anywhere!<br /><br />Good thoughts Janette, and it's going to be interesting to see what He brings in the days ahead. He never ignores our faith...<br /><br />Big hugs!<br /><br />Sonjahttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-13865129826517715382010-07-27T15:14:01.975-07:002010-07-27T15:14:01.975-07:00I'm so sorry your life-saga includes this trou...I'm so sorry your life-saga includes this troublesome chapter! It's apparent you have your head on straight, and your heart even straighter, but I know the gnawing pangs in the soul. They're plaguing!<br /><br />Yours is good word, my friend. It makes me think of the Lord's encouragement to me this week, from Psalm 116 ... <br /><br />"Return to your rest, O my soul, for God has been good to you. He has delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling that I may walk before the Lord in the land of living." <br /><br />Now that's a dose of courage if ever there was one!<br /><br />Praying for you,<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-74442295962698278422010-07-27T12:35:07.073-07:002010-07-27T12:35:07.073-07:00Your post reminds me of the lion in The Wizard of ...Your post reminds me of the lion in The Wizard of Oz... wasn't he wishing for "courrrragggge?"<br /><br />Yes, transitions are so hard at any stage of life, but especially in middle age, when we've found a particular rhythm, and it seems like life could go on forever in a certain way.<br /><br />I think a lot about Abraham & Sarah who were called to leave their comfortable life behind in Ur... or Moses, who fled Egypt, raised a family, and then was sent back to lead the Isrealites to freedom, as as an old man. None of the famous Bible characters ever "retired" did they? <br /><br />Praying for courage for you (and me) Janette!<br /><br />Blessings, e-Mom ღSusannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090290482455881323noreply@blogger.com
