Have you ever felt like a Victim? A real Victim. Have you  clung to something ( the hurt and pain)  in your life when you thought you were a Victim.. Have you used it to have an attitude, used it to be filled with unforgiveness or possibly allowed a “bitter root” to rise up because of it. Negative energy is heavy… It pulls us down.

A Merry Heart does the soul good. It is sometimes hard to let go of the hurts of this life and welcome the positive things God has to offer.  You can do it with God’s help…. with his hand. He can take what you have hidden on the inside and make it GOOD.  Allow God to heal you, allow God to pull up the bitter root and replace it with his love.

Let Go and Let God…..

Don’t be a Victim be a Victor…..

What direction is your life going? What does your life’s compass say? Have you found yourself lost in a place that is unfamiliar, searching for a way out, a way to see the light, a way to do the right thing, to get on the right track, course?

Our world gets this way sometimes, too. Life happens in unexpected ways and the road we’re traveling makes unexpected turns. Before long, we find ourselves in places we never anticipated, wondering exactly where we are. If we are not careful, we panic and make things even worse. At moments like this, we’ve got to trust that there is a bigger hand at the controls of our lives than our own.

I am not sure which direction my compass is pointing. I am forced to trust God in ways that I have never had to trust him — to care for people over whom I have little influence and whose circumstances are beyond my control and whose future I cannot secure. More than ever, I am convicted of the importance of leading people to faith in Jesus, so I know they are in my forever family, the family of God’s grace. Jesus is the only compass point that matters.

The Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a very cold winter. It must be true because the squirrles are gathering NUTS….. three of my friends have disappeared…  ARE YOU OKAY??
