Here’s the Bonus Question for this week: What is your favorite verse to quote when you are scared 0r overwhelmed or angry?…

My answer-

Hmmmmm never really thought I had one particular verse that would pop up in this situation but now that I think about it my verse is

The 1 st chapter of Jeremiah actually, okay, okay if it is only one verse i guess verse 17

"get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them or I will terrify you before them. and 18 Today i have made you a fortified city, and iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land- against the kings of Judah, it's officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord.

See why I love it so much I could not stop at just one verse!

My Walk Monday

This week’s Bonus Question:

What do you run to instead of God?

How can you tangibly remedy that?

I am thinking I rally do not run to a thing but run away- I will tend to just shut down and turn inward. most of the time I need to process things by myself, when I should be running to HIM, I usually end up there any way but take the long way home:) after tears and shouts, and a little stomping of the feet, yes at GOD, he doesn't seem to mind; just waits patiently. Isn't that just like Him? i plan on working on this a bit more in the coming weeks by not reacting first but asking "God what do you want from me first?" then really listening. Wow that is the hard part. asking is easy, it is the waiting and listening that is hard. I will let you know how it goes.

My Walk Monday

Do you have a favorite place or time to get alone with God? If yes, when, where and maybe why?… If no, can you think of one you could make, giving it to the Lord as a place for you and Him to hang-out together?

A few years ago, Matt bought me an antique Orangish colored rocking chair. It was aptly named the mommy chair. It was suppose to be the one place I could go and no matter what the boys were not allowed to interrupt mommy! Even if she was doing nothing:) It lasted a little while but over time the chair did not "fit" the living room anymore, we moved, colors changed. The chair stopped being used. Mommy time also became a luxury. Boys got older, activities increased, mommy got busier and busier. (Is that a word?) Well to make a long story short, the mommy chair as since disappeared but recently we got a new mattress for our bed--- (the old one had that mysterious dip in the middle, well no, it was actually like a hump, for we each had our own side, and that is where the dips were:) anyhoo, NOW my favorite place to study is my bed, I go upstairs close the door, turn on the Bose Cd player , listen to a little CECE and walla, TIME ALONE WITH GOD!
