Isaiah 40:8. “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”…….29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Yesterday I had a follow up with my surgeons office and the reality of my medical condition, is I may not be able to return to the things I love like bicycling the hills, water skiing, snow skiing, cross country skiing, and pickle ball for six months to a year. These are things I spend many hours enjoying. I have had an identity of being an good athlete most of my life. I enjoy people acknowledging me because I am good at sports. This is a pride thing!! Now, God is reminding me to embrace my identity as a child of God over all things!! I should have done this all along but when I shine at sports, I get many accolades from people, which has been nice for me. Being and extreme athlete has been wiped out in one quick accident. Being a child of God can never be taken away from me!!! In order to stay strong, determined and not grow weary and tired. I have to remember my true identity is in Jesus Christ. We all face changes in identity. Today, I hope this helps you too remember you are extremely valuable, you are a child of God and that will never be taken from you no matter how many times your identity in this life may change. 😇🙏❤️

1Peter 2:24 “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.”
So we may die to sins and live for righteousness!! Let go of the bad embrace the good!!! Think on what is right, stay thankful, live grateful! Be in awe, of His great power and His intimate love for each of us. Last night we had a big storm come through. It knocked down a big tree in my yard and took our electricity out. I’m dealing with the hazard of a down hot power line. I’m choosing to be thankful. We are all safe. I’m choosing to see what is right and trust Him in what is wrong. This attitude of looking for the good can be described as an attitude of gratitude. 🙏. I need this “attitude of gratitude” as I trust God has cleansed me from my sins and helps me move toward right living!! Let’s, let go of the old ways that no longer serve us and embrace the new that do!!! Let's let go, just as we let go of the storms and embrace the clean up!!😇🙏❤️

1Peter 4:8 “Above Above all love each other deeply because love covers a multitude sins.” Above all love each other deeply!!! I’m an active member of my AA community and we talk often about how we were the eye of a "crap tornado" spewing our crap over everyone we loved. I praise God, I had people that loved me through the depth of my disease. Now as I’m living a sober lifestyle, I pray that God gives me the ability to love others deeply, even if they’re caught up in the middle of their junk. This doesn’t mean I become a doormat and people stomp all over me. It means instead of being judging and angry with my people entangled in their alcoholism or other health issues I try to love them where they are at. I try not to have expectations and not to internalize times they offend me. Sometimes, loving someone who is actively destroying their lives with alcohol or other things, means, praying for them and keeping my distance. I wish I could fix other peoples health issues. Jesus is the great healer. I can pray that He helps them know Him and Trust Him as Savior, this is the foundation for my true health. I hope this helps you today too…. Love each other deeply even when others seem to be unloveable. 😇🙏❤️. Im very thankful for the people that have done that for me.

2 Corinthians 1:20 "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through Him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set His seal of ownership on us, and put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."
Guaranteeing what is to come!!!!God has Good in store for us! Ultimately, He has heaven in store for us and that is very very good!! Have you ever talked to somebody and asked them if they know they are going to heaven and their answer is I hope so? We don't have to hope so. We can know so! If I wasn't sure of my eternal destiny I couldn't have true peace. We have assurance in our eternal destiny, through putting our faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior, The One and Only Way. John 11:25 "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." Meanwhile, during our lives in this world, we have the assurance things will get better. This life is full of hills and valleys before my accident, someone asked me how I was doing. I said, "Right now I’m on hilltop and it’s awesome. I’m gonna enjoy this hilltop for now because I know there will be a Valley coming and then there will be another hilltop." God works things out for His good. Our ultimate good, ultimate hilltop is when we reach Heaven!!! In Heaven; no more valleys!! Praise the Lord!!!😇🙏❤️

Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” What a fitting verse as I am nursing a broken bone. I was feeling a bit of despair this morning, a bit of broken heartedness. I cannot travel to see my grandson on his birthday today or be with my friends and family, who are remembering my daughter-in-law on her memorial bicycle ride this weekend. I can’t travel because it’s too painful to leave my leg down for too long. Then I read proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine. “ There are many things we can all focus on that will make us down hearted. Today, I choose a cheerful heart. I choose to be thankful I have a grandson. I choose to be thankful that my beautiful daughter-in-law was in my life in the first place. I choose to be thankful this moment, even if I feel teary!! I do this, so I can have a cheerful heart. Today, I choose the joy of the Lord. May you choose a cheerful heart today too!!!

Haggai 1:7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up to the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says The Lord. 9You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?”declares The Lord Almighty. “Because of my house which remains in ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house.” Give careful thought to your ways!!! I am thinking of my ways and how self centered they can be. I have had a tremendous out pouring of support from my “lake family”. Its been so comforting to have so many people be so extremely kind and generous with me during this difficult time in my life. I am evaluating my own ways. Thinking of my own self seeking ways and feeling convicted to focus more on being the love of Jesus. Thank you, my friends and family for being so good to me and reminding me to serve others with Christs’ love. “Life on earth is soon to pass, only what’s done for Christ will last!” I love this quote!! I hope it inspires you today too…. What ever you do, do it for the Lord!!

John 10:14 “I am The Good Shepherd ; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me-“. God knows each of us intimately!! He knows exactly what we are going through and He understands. He knows every hair on our head and every word we speak before the word is even formed on our tongues. Even our closest people, don’t know us as well as God knows us. We are to know God too. We are to know Him by TRUSTING in His intimate, constant love for us. We are to know Him by reading His word and letting His word take firm root in our hearts and our minds. Since I have been injured, I have been watching a Netflix series. As a result I think about the characters and the messages of the show. I am feeding my mind things that are occupying space instead of things that are helping me think well and be well. What I truly want to be thinking about is Knowing and trusting in God's love for me and understanding how I can love Him. Getting caught up in a fantasy world is not helping me with the strength and determination I need to fight this battle. God’s word states, if you love me you will keep my commands. Today, to find the strength, courage and song to live for Jesus, in spite of my new difficulties completing simple tasks, I will try to remember; God knows me, I know God. I hope this helps you today too ….. KNOW and TRUST God. 😇🙏❤️

Ephesians 5:18 "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak l to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
I used this verse a lot in my early sobriety. I now think of the things I let intoxicate me that are not wine, but still spirits that I don’t want to rule my heart. Alcohol used to distort my judgment. I can still pursue things like adrenaline rushes, approval seeking and gluttony that will also distort my thinking. Today, I am hoping to pay attention to what Im intoxicating myself with. Is it from and for our Lord? Or will it ultimately lead to my destruction?

Ephesians 4:2 “Be completely humble and gentle;be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
Be completely humble!!! This is difficult for me. Being humble is accepting God’s will. Trusting God in all things. Without trying to manipulate circumstances to get my own way.
This past Sunday was a great example of my pride. I was showing off instead of being cautious with a ski I was unfamiliar with. I was trying to be impressive. I definitely made an impression…. Not the one I was hoping for. Pride comes before the fall. Today, I am hoping to keep my pride in check, I really don’t want to fall any lower. Lol.

Ephesians 3:17 "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all fullness of God." Thanks you all for your prayers!!! My surgery was a success and the beautiful staff at Stanford was wonderful. It will be very difficult for me over the next 6-8 weeks to not put any weight on my right leg. I spend most of my time out doors moving and also have the luxury of picking up my grandchildren and actively playing with them. That is largely my life. That has come to a quick HAULT! I thanks God first and foremost I am a child of God and this is my main identity. Because I trust in Gods tremendous love for me. I know He will use this time for His glory. Knowing God knows and loves me,God is in control, and He works all things out for the His good is helping me today. And of course your prayers are helping too. Thanks so much!!!

Philippians 3:14 "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." I pressed towards the goal of the upward call of God yesterday I was water skiing and I use a new friends ski and didn't come out of the binding and broke my leg this morning. I'm just about ready to go into surgery so any prayers would help please. I like this first today I press forward to the upward call God
