All-Sufficient

  • On a day where my heart is so heavy for my husband who has several decisions to be made....
  • On a day where mean girl behavior is starting to grate on my last nerve....
  • On a day where my daughter wasn't treated fairly by someone who really should be applauding her extra time and efforts and encouraging her instead of hollering at her....
  • On a day where I would really just like to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head and make the world go away for just a little while....
  • On a day where I was asked to make a slide show for a funeral for the father of two of my students who were given the news this week that their daddy only has days to live...
  • On a day where if I look with my earthly eyes it seems the cheaters and the liers win (even though I know and believe God sees it all and He is the righteous judge and nothing goes unnoticed by Him)....
....His grace is sufficient!  Sufficient grace for even me. What a Savior! How does this world make it without Him?  Thank you Father, that you are over it all, every single thing.  Thank you for all-sufficient mercy and grace and for risking your name on us...I am overwhelmed at the thought and humbled by Your fierce love and protection for us. 

I reminded my sweet girl again this morning, "What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31.  More than conquerors...carried by an All-Sufficient God!

  2. Oh my friend, I'm sorry these things are coming all at once. I ask my husband all the time how people do it without the Lord.
    Praying for you!

  3. You made me get the sniffles.
    I love that verse - it just makes me happy that we have a Daddy in Heaven that sees all and knows ALL! He is so just and full of mercy.

    For some reason google decided to erase my blog roll. Glad you left a comment awhile ago so I found ya' again. :)

    Blessings,
    Lana

  4. sometimes we have to constantly remind ourselves that "God IS for us" we forget because we live in the emotion all too often. Thank you for the reminder, I really needed to read those words this morning.

  5. I mistakenly left a message under my husbands email name, jrny42... my apologies. I did not realize he was signed in when I left the message :)
