Who would have thunk it!

Trying to understand what the world is coming to is an unraveling nightmare. Glad I know there is an eternal life with Christ where we won’t have to deal with these issues. For those of you have health insurance with your company Thank God every day for it. I mean this literally. I never thought I would see the day when it would cost more for health insurance per month than it would to own a house. Not to mention you have to carry over a $5000.00 deductible before they will even pick up a claim. What would it cost if you were sick? Obama care has every health insurance company running with their tails between their legs instead of fighting for the people. Of course we all know they are getting kick backs as well from the administration!!! I don’t know how much longer America is going to be able to stand on the expectancy of the government for everything. It appears that it is crumbling before our very eyes. God is giving America every opportunity to look to Him and to trust Him but we, including myself right now because we have just been hit hard, aren’t getting it. They continue to raise rates for innocent people who are healthy and just go for an annual physical every year and charge a lot for the location in which you live. Yes I am upset right now and voicing my opinion. Oh how I would love to be one of those people who can just head up to Washington and start telling people what I think, however that isn’t me! I am the peacemaker Is it just me or is there anyone else fed up with higher health insurance premiums?

Jesus Calling

Jesus calling is a devotional book that we received at Christmas this past year and has been such an amazing source of strength in some difficult times. This book by Sarah Young was written in the context as if Jesus is speaking to you, so I wanted to share a couple of days that really spoke to my heart and thought it might touch some of yours. Open up your mind and ears to hear and allow Jesus to speak to your heart!
March 1st
When something in your life or thoughts makes you anxious, come to Me and talk about it. Bring Me your prayer and petition with Thanksgiving, saying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this opportunity to trust you more.” Though the lessons of trust that I send to you come wrapped in difficulties, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
Well-developed trust will bring you many blessings, not the least of which is My Peace. I have promised to keep you in perfect Peace to the extent that you trust in me. The world has it backwards, teaching that peace is the result of having enough money, possessions, insurance, and security systems. My Peace, however, is such an all-encompassing gift that it is independent of all circumstances. Though you lose everything else, if you gain My Peace you are rich indeed.
Philippians 4:6; Isaiah 26:3.

April 2nd
I have promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Your deepest, most constant need is for my Peace. I have planted Peace in the garden of your heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry, selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your hearts of those weeds. I do my work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me, I shine the Light of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light, Peace Grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also send trials into your life. When you trust me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away. Thank Me for troublesome situations; the Peace they can produce far outweighs the trials you endure.
Philippians 4:19; 2 Corinthians 4:17.
