Renewal of personal strength....
So as I left my bible study last night, I was blessed. Well, convicted. That room is filled with the most wonderful women and their support over the last couple months has been a blessing on it's own. Last night after I left, our group remained on my mind for hours! As I was browsing through the next week lesson I decided I had SO much to say and share I thought the "blog" idea was best. I know I have NO time, but this is comforting to me and is ME time. So here goes.....With all discussion I think we all realized we needed to pray for individual strength this week! The enemy has beaten up all our friends and loved ones this week (he knows where we are weak because we can't hide it ourselves). This verse was on my mind when I woke this morning and I felt it was time to share. You are wearied in the length of your way; yet you did not say "there is no hope". You have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved. Isaiah 57:10(NIV) So although I, you, others feel overwhelmed, let-down, beaten, we "in our hearts of all hearts" know that we are covered! I believe God is telling us that we control the destiny of our thoughts...the enemy can only interfere if we provide him a window. Let this bless your day and remember you control your faith....may it be strong!

Love Is the Greatest
1If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;a but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8Prophecy and speaking in unknown languagesb and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.c All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
