“Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Jesus speaking to disciples)- Matt 17:20

It is possible to daily “cast all your anxiety on him” and experience deep peace in the process.

It is possible to have our thoughts and the desires of our hearts purified.

It is possible to see God’s will in every circumstance and to accept it with singing instead of complaining.

It is possible to become strong through and through by completely taking refuge in the power of God and realizing that our greatest weakness and the things that upset our determination to be patient, pure, or humble provide an opportunity to make sin powerless over us. He loves us and works to bring us into agreement with his will. – Streams in the Desert

Missing Basden. She’s good, I just miss her.

Praying Hud through a test week. His decision to delay MCAT, take a gap year after undergrad, makes me breathe a little easier for him.

Will be fun to see how you provide, Lord

  • Chris Davis’ comment – I would have never guessed, watching Dallas with my mom as a little boy in England, that I’d end up in Texas with a daughter who rides horses and a son who bow hunts… only God can connect those dots and make that happen.” Incredible.

If you are God’s child, the life force that energizes your thoughts, desires, words and actions is no longer you – it’s Christ! God came to live inside of you so that you have the power and desire to do what he calls you to do. He rules all the situations, locations and relationships that are out of your control. He is your indwelling Savior and your reigning King. He does in you what you could not do for yourself, and he does outside of you what you have no power or authority to do. – Paul Tripp

 

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles… 1 Chron 16:11-12
