Nearing the end of July 2015, I must say that it was basically a usual July, yet specifically there were some atypical aspects. Personally, and not typically, I seem to have gained a resergence of physical energy! I have attributed this to my loving, powerful and prayer-answering God! I deeply praise Him and am daily trying to determine the best use of this precious commodity, so that prior goals yet incomplete, can be achieved and new ones can be sought.
However, even the healthiest version of me has never been able to abide the extreme summer heat, especially if mingled with a high percentage of humidity! Alas, I have therefore not accomplished as much as I expected. Praying for guidance, I remembered the blog and here I am.
Having been blocked from travels by a medical crisis in May and June, I knew it was unlikely the trip could be made in July, but my bags remain packed.
I look to the future with true hope, backed by the promises of God. Even when days are difficult, as I focus on the comforting presence of the Lord and all He means to me and think about His plan for my life l am always inspired and encouraged. I love the scripture that comes to mind...
Psalms 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 71:18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! 71:20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
