Things running through my head!

Do you ever wish you could crawl into the arms of Jesus? Or ever feel like you know your gifts that the Lord gave you and yet Satan creeps in and tells you that you are not worthy or good enough? I am having that struggle right now. I have been blessed with a love for children having had one the natural way and two adopted loves. I have felt a pull towards doing foster care and yet here is where the struggle comes in.

Having lost my husband five years ago to cancer there have been times over the years that I feel I just can't do it all. Note the "I"... I am so thankful to serve a Lord and Savior that is there 24/7. Because let me tell you I have been on my knees! It is so hard being a single parent..the loneliness alone is deafening, the chores..come on seriously I need a man around! But, the Lord reminds me in..

James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4.Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

..that he is not done with me! My hearts desire is to serve God with all my heart. I will continue to pray about foster care and go to scripture to hear my Lord tell me that I am worthy of His love and that He promises to continue caring for me and my children as He has by placing such dear friends in our lives.

Do you lack wisdom?

So yesterday's verse from Bible txt

James 1:5-6 (New International Version)
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

This verse really struck me. How often do we as Christians doubt what God can do? I know I am guilty of it. How often do we ask and yet not with a believing heart? Again I am guilty of that. God is wisdom, truth, and love..He does not doubt. If our faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ we need to remember to go to Him with a believing heart. It is through Him we can have the ultimate peace that this world cannot and will never give. It is so easy to get caught up in the world we live in and yet the only real consistency a person can have is in knowing Jesus as their own personal savior. He is the one constant in my life and having a personal relationship with Christ is the most amazing experience a person can have. I cannot imagine my life without it! It doesn't mean the world doesn't creep in but we need to remember to go the Lord in prayer for wisdom (webster's defines as good sense) in our lives.
