Good Riddance to Problems

 It's been a stressful week so I LOVED these thoughts.  God wants EVERY PART OF US to be free!

 My son's family has been very sick so it's hard to stay calm.  Also we're trying to get harvesting done.  It's been raining which is a harvest killer as you can't take the grain wet or it will spoil.  

  Between the rain and combine problems it was a pretty rotten week last week.  Then, when things finally dried out, the wind picked up like CRAZY!  It's dangerous to combine in fierce winds because the wind can blow the chaff up on the hot engine and start a fire.  ):

  I asked my Facebook friends to pray for protection from fires and my guys worked until 10:00 PM and got that quarter done.  We woke to rain Monday morning so everyone was glad they persevered.  

  Now we're about half done harvesting!  As the Lord leads you, we can sure use more prayers.  The temps are dropping now.  Tonight it's supposed to get down to 26 degrees.  I know that it's almost November but warm weather makes everything nicer when you're working outside.

  My other big news is that my mother-in-law has decided that she's ready to move into an assisted living facility nearby us.  She'll be 92 next month and has been doing well living alone.  She's in a retirement community, so there are others around her, but she's getting weaker and a bit forgetful.  We're looking forward to having her closer to us so we can bring her to our house for family events much easier.

  That's all my news for now.  I pray this message blesses you as much as it has me!  We can give our problems to God and see how He works for our good.  I kept praying that HE would calm the winds but, when that didn't happen, I asked Him to protect our combine and, of course, our family members working to bring in the harvest.  HE ALWAYS BLESSES US ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

  Have a good week in the King's presence. 

  Much love,

  Dawn

I Hear His Whisper...

I want every part of you to be free.

I want you to be one with me—living in union with me. Allow yourself to be fully consumed with me—spirit, mind, and body. I want you to sense my presence in your spirit, your mind, and your body. I am as close as your next breath.   I want every part of you to be free. When your mind is consumed with your problems, you’re not experiencing the fullness of my love. I want you to find true freedom in complete oneness with me. So focus your thoughts and your mind on me. Trust me and completely resign your will to mine. Release your cares into my hands. I want to take your burdens and worries from you. Let me have control, and you will finally experience the freedom and unity in me. Let me give you the peace you long for and desire.   I Hear His Whisper written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

Romans 8:6 The Passion Translation   The sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.
