XOXOXO...AMY...XOXOXO
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
I APOLOGIZE TO MY FOLLOWERS HERE ON
"THERE'S AN ANGEL ON MY FRONT PORCH!" FOR
NOT BEING AROUND VERY MUCH.
PLEASE REMEMBER I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER BLOG
CALLED
"SIMPLY DEBBIE."
IF I HAVE NOT BLOGGED HERE JUST POP
IN OVER AT
"SIMPLY DEBBIE"
AND SAY HI.
YOU CAN GET THERE FROM CLICKING ON
MY PROFILE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL KNOW BUT MY
PROFILE PICTURE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.
IT IS AN ART PROJECT THAT AMY MADE FOR
ME. IT HANGS OUTSIDE OUR OFFICE DOOR.
WHEN I STARTED THIS BLOG, I KNEW
IMMEDIATELY IT WOULD BE MY PROFILE
PICTURE. EVERY TIME I COME TO MY BLOG
THERE IS THE PICTURE OF WHAT AMY
LOVED MOST AND WHEN SHE WAS THE VERY
HAPPIEST: CREATING ART!!!
WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE HATCHING OF
A CHICKEN EGG!!!!
WE ARE GOING THROUGH A TRIAL THAT
HAS US CONFINED. WE ARE STRESSED,
WE ARE SICK, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW DRS.
ORDERS, WE ARE IN MOURNING OVER THE
PASSING OF A LOVED ONE, A DIVORCE. ALL JUST
EXAMPLES OF A TRIAL THAT HAS US BOUND
UP TIGHT. WE CAN'T MOVE. WE FEEL LIKE WE
CAN'T BREATHE AND EVEN HOPELESS.
WE FEEL NUMB. WE ARE NOT QUOTING
SCRIPTURE AS OFTEN. WE MAY EVEN BE
MAD AT GOD AND NOT WANT TO TALK TO HIM
OR ABOUT HIM. WE CRY AND YELL AND
WANT OUT OF THE SITUATION.
NOW IN THIS PICTURE WE SEE THERE IS A
TINY BREAK THROUGH AND WE CAN SEE
SOME LIGHT. WE THINK IT WOULD BE
BENEFICIAL TO LISTEN TO OUR CHRISTIAN
MUSIC BUT NOT READ THE BIBLE YET AS
THE TRIAL IS REALLY STILL GOING ON AND
WE STILL CAN'T MOVE. WE SEE THAT EVERY-
ONE ELSE HAS A GOOD LIFE...THEY HAVE NO
TRIALS...WE YELL, "WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME
THAT HAS THESE PROBLEMS. I AM A GOOD
PERSON!"
OUR FRIENDS WANT TO GRAB HOLD OF OUR
SHELL AND CRACK IT OPEN AND LET US OUT.
IF A CHICKEN WAS RIPPED FROM HIS SHELL
AT THIS TIME, HE WOULD NOT LIVE.
BIRTH/TRIALS ARE A PROCESS WE MUST
GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO LIVE AND LIVE
SUCCESSFULLY AS JESUS WANTS US TO.
WE HAVE STRETCHED AND STRETCHED,
"NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME WILL
PROSPER,"...STRETCH SOME MORE, "I CAN
DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO
STRENGTHENS ME," "I CAN WALK THROUGH
THE FIRE AND NOT GET BURNED...I CAN GO
THROUGH DEEP WATERS AND NOT DROWN,"
BECAUSE "little i" RELEASED MY FAITH AND
"BIG I" DREW CLOSE TO GOD, WHERE HE WANTS
US /ME TO BE. IT IS A PROCESS WHERE THERE
ARE NO SHORTCUTS. WE JUST HAVE TO GO
THROUGH IT.
THIS IS MY COMFORT IN MY AFFLICTION,
FOR YOUR WORD HAS GIVEN ME LIFE.
~PSALM 119:50
SO WE MAY BOLDLY SAY:
"THE LORD IS MY HELPER;
I WILL NOT FEAR;
WHAT CAN MAN DO TO ME?"
~HEBREWS 13:6
BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING; BUT IN EVERY-
THING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, WITH
THANKSGIVING, LET YOUR REQUESTS BE MADE
KNOWN TO GOD;
AND THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES
ALL UNDERSTANDING, WILL GUARD YOUR HEARTS
AND MINDS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS.
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST
WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
~PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7, 13

BLESSED WHEN YOU PRAY FOR SOMEONE.

BE IN SO MUCH PAIN, YOU CANNOT PRAY.

DIED AND HER SOUL WENT TO HEAVEN.
