Oh wow, was this timely for me or what? I thought I’d share with all of you who might need encouragement to climb to a higher view and have a new perspective.
Physically — food has been bogging me down! Mentally and emotionally — my parents have been occupying my thoughts. I am NOT going to run to food as my comfort, but am going to press into the Lord. This is not a time to fall back into old habits.
While you are reading the bulletin below, I will be spending time on my treadmill — praising and praying.
I received this from [email protected] …
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns — April 1, 2010:
Let your spirit soar high above the mundane and earthly concerns. Get above the things that bog you down physically, mentally and emotionally. Rise up into the place where you can adjust your perspective and see clearly in the spiritual realm to know My will and purpose for you. Leave behind all fear, anxiety and worldly concern. Come up into My presence where you can be refreshed, restored, and renewed, says the Lord.
Psalms 16:11 You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
I SO needed that today…you have no idea! Hope you have a Blessed Easter, my friend!
Wow, do I LOVE how God works. Is His timing perfect or what?! This is such a wonderful post and so encouraging too.

Your posts are such a gift to me! I too needed this today. It was very soothing to the soul. Thank you. And thanks also for your posts about bitterness and unforgiveness. In part because of your post, I was able to let God change my heart after a major disagreement/argument with my friend/babysitter and reached out in forgiveness, and it was received.
