Hope, Afflication, Prayer

 

 

Romans 12:12 (New International Version)

¹² Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

This is a verse my dear Hubby put on our computer screen from some kind of wallpaper...
Little did I know by this time of the month how much I would need to see this each day
as a reminder.. I am going threw the hardest time of my life right now and I can truly say
that I can see how Job felt..

 My Joy- comes from the hope that I have is that I believe in God and he will never leave me or forsake me..

 Patient with myself in this affliction that I am feeling with so many others that are lacking money like I am right now..

Faithful in prayer to the point that many times threw the day I am praying that I will live in his peace and
that I can go without things and that no matter what comes God will be with me even if that means I am
homeless and have no car..

Its amazing to me that in the pain I am in God is giving me NEW joys and HE is my strength when I just
don't have any!!!

1. The warmth of Nov.. For the moment...
