I will praise him for all that is past and trust him for that is to come.
Putting complete trust in God is the best thing to do. Don’t lean to what you know because it is true; He will do a new thing. He will do something different you have never seen before.
We can thank him for what is to come believing like you have received it.
That is trust without the waiver.
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
I love a train ride. I don’t know why. If I had to go cross country, my first choice is the train.
The landscape is beautiful with all the lush greens and crowded forests with flat terrain of the prairies and the mountains of the far west. I can take the train to the east as well and see the coves giving way to the ocean.
OK. Yes. I live in one of the biggest and least populated country in the world. The great white north called Canada.
It is best to see it by train because you can relax and take in all the scenery
I love it.
Who is the most confident person you know?
I haven’t got a clue.
I want to say I am, but that would be over confident or even borderline narcissistic.
Most people show an air of confidence, but at times, I realize it is just a cover.
To me, being confident is being well with yourself. Frankly, most people do not have that quality.
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
When negative thoughts crowd my mind, I try and look at the lighter side.
Negativity leads to a dark path where nothing good comes out at the end.
Thinking good thoughts makes my life easier and brighter. I am stressed, and I can breathe.
I think myself happy, therefore I am happy. No one can make my happiness. I have to find it in myself and work at it. Some days are easier than others, but still, I try to count my blessings.
That is what makes me happy.
What activities do you lose yourself in?
I enjoy both painting and writing.
The use of color makes me happy. I just love using watercolors to create a scene or image on paper. When I finish a piece, I don’t usually like it, but then, coming back days later, I love it.
As I write, I live through most of the characters I create. I say most because I usually have a villain in the story. I don’t live the life of my villain, but I understand why they are the way they are.
O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with voice of triumph.
Psalm 47 verse 1
Because we believe, we praise the Lord.
The Lord is great.
The Lord is the one we serve.
Praise Him for not only what He has done but also for who He is.
He is the most high God, the almighty.
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
I love that show. The acting is great, and the stories, though scary are well put together.
I haven’t watched the new episodes, but I am watching the reruns of the old episodes.
It sends chills up and down my spine but I have to see the end of an episode or I am not satisfied.
It makes me look over my shoulders once two many times.
Are you superstitious?
I am not superstitious, but I would not walk under a ladder for fear of something falling on my head. Neither do I take a pinch of spilled salt and throw it over my shoulder to ward off bad luck
I believe in God and that he loved the world that he sent his only begotten son to die for the sins of the world. That is not superstition or religion but a way of life and my belief.
I don’t believe in luck. God is in control, and nothing happens outside of his knowledge. As my Dad always preached, nothing hits God by surprise.
I don’t get involved in things I don’t understand or things that may have dark pagan or folklore meanings hinged in their history. Curses that can not be explained away. Things I don’t understand and I find are freaky. Those things I leave alone.
When God works for you, who can stop it?
Before time began, God existed. There is no beginning to His kingdom, and there is no end. He sits on His throne and rules over everything.
When He makes a promise, there is no one who can stop it. His mind is fixed, and His hand is stretched out to deliver His people.
Like a loving father cherishing His children, so too God loves His people. The same God who makes a path in the sea. A way in the mighty waters, in the storm to safety. He is our father.
Great is our God.
Thus saith the Lord, which make the a way in the sea; and a path in the mighty waters. Remember, ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.
Isaiah 43 verses 16 to 19.
He prepares everything for those who love Him.
He promised to go ahead and make the path straight. He will walk with you through the waters of destruction and be with you even in the fire so the flames will not burn.
He will guide you with His eyes upon you so you have never to be afraid.
These promises are His to make because He can never lie because He is God.
Of His love, there is no end and no beginning. It is as eternal and infinite as He is real, as He is true.
Lift upon your eyes on high. Lift up your heart and see the beauty of my Lord.
Is not His name Wonderful?
( Adapted from Psalm 46 and Isaiah 40, 41, and 42)
