Simple obedience. Truth. Grace. A Woman of Strength.
(See Jackie's post on more about Woman of Strength)

Proverbs 4:9 She(wisdom) will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor.

I am believing God that He is working a gentle and quiet spirit within me, out of trust and reverence to Him. My wisdom comes from His Word! I will douse myself in truth, I will live it out in obedience, I will walk in Grace with a quiet and gentle spirit trusting and BELIEVING. My strength comes from Him alone.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things having all that you need, you will abound in every good work! 2 Cor. 9:8

A woman of strength gives her best as an expression of her life in Christ. 1 Cor. 10:31

Isa. 30:21 has been popping up all around me(Brook & Lisa) and just so happened to be my promise calendar verse for Today! Hmmmmmmmm...wonder who set that up in advance for me?
Jesus, makes me laugh! He has it all together, predestined each step of faith I need to believe!

I will stand on Isa. 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying,"This is the way: walk in it."

I expect to receive wise counsel from the Holy one, my Redeemer. Isa. 48:17 For this is what the Lord says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go."
I want to enter in the gate...fully. I don't want to stand at the gate and gaze in, but walk through and be fully present, each moment of every day. Whisper in my ear Lord, This is the way: walk in it!

List 5 things you are thankful for and link up!

1. Last night my sister and I were on the phone trying to come up with an itinerary for our Dad and stepmom to come visit us this January. That is what they wanted for their Christmas gift. In the words of my sister "The total price for two tickets was ....drum roll please.....$545....I know....I know....you think I'm teasing you...but I'm not.....it's true. This was such a good deal we just couldn't resist. Julie and I are so excited and really looking forward to their visit."
   She cracks me up! Thank you Lord for a FABULOUS deal and my sister who makes me laugh!
2. I am Thankful the Lord helped me at work to balance my boss' credit card statement. He had a recurring balance for several months I couldn't find, and through the help of our travel person, and 4 days of reconciling for the past year and 1/2...IT IS DONE!! Praise God!
3. I am Thanking the Lord right now for showing me the answer about going to Houston in January. There are now a few more obstacles...Like my Dad visiting the weekend after I would be there, I would go alone, but get to meet up with some blogging sista's. I surrender the decision to the Lord, and wait on His direction. Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer.
4. I am Thankful the grandchildren came to visit with their moms over the weekend! We had a fantastic Sunday afternoon! see the pictures below!
5. I am Thankful I witnessed my son making a very adult decision. He had a chance to participate in an AFJROTC activity (missing school). He carries a B+ average, but is struggling in PreAP English...He decided to not miss school, as it might impact his english grade. WOW....Praise the Lord!

He is Worthy of our Praise, and Thanks! What are you thankful for today?
