Welcome! |

Yes,
that's right! Don't be surprised! "Weekly" Word
means every week. Yes, it does seem like yesterday.
Oh... sorry... I was talking to myself.
 Yes, this website seems old-fashioned compared to all the formats everywhere else. It isn't based on a template. I created most of the graphics and backgrounds. It doesn't come out of any web site making box. It is personal, just for you (and you) (oh, and you) (I haven't forgotten you) (then there's you) and...... Oh, boy, do I have a project to finish! I'm organizing my office. I've needed to do it ever since we moved here six years ago! I have my sewing machine, crafts, Bible study books and tools, desk, filing cabinet, two craft/whatever tables, boxes with extra office supplies, and things I love like Breyer horses, pictures, gifts I've been given, and much more. Then, this is the dump room, also. Whenever someone comes over and I have to clear the table.....dump! When something breaks or needs to be sewed....dump! Something I have to find a place for....dump! God has blessed me with good organization skills but this is a tad overwhelming! So, I'm chip chip chipping away. It needs to be comfortable in here so I can do my Bible studies, repairs/sewing, crafts, etc etc etc Right now it is still a medium-sized mess. Wanting to be organized it makes me a bit anxious to have it done. I'm not 100% comfortable. The past six years I've actually been taking my projects to the dining room table instead of doing them in here. I've tried to come up with easy solutions to fix this but there are no easy solutions. One thing I have been doing is downsizing. I am 73 years old. Am I going to finish all the things I thought I would accomplish? Nope. Am I ever going to do all the crafts I wanted to learn? Nope. I have a limited time left on Earth and my body will start making things more difficult for me. It's now or never for a lot of things. I plan on living a lot longer and I hope I am healthy and strong, God willing! That is the segue into our Bible study! |

Sometimes the Bible study was started in the welcome message. Each Bible study has a link to that week's welcome. Did you know I was blogging before there was such a thing as a blog? Did you miss last week? Here it is. |
| "Because he hath set
his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high,
because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long
life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation." Ps 91:14-16 |

| This is God talking about me,
you, and all the others who love Him. All these things are true
because we love God! Notice the bad news, though. "I (God)
will be with him in trouble". We WILL encounter troubles in
our lives. It won't be smooth sailing BUT....it says He will deliver
us....twice it says that. God cannot lie. I've been going through trouble for a week, when will delivery come? I've been going through trouble for a YEAR, when will delivery come? What is taking so long? Wait, this time of trouble...it could also be called tribulation. "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience". Rom 5:3 How is it I've been able to be so sure God will deliver even after a long time? He delivered me after nine years of my being in the desert. Now I am in serious need of patience. I am stronger and able to have the patience I need. Did I mention that God's timing is perfect? He has known us since we were in the womb. Can He still know what is happening in our lives? Darn tootin' He can! He knows what our future holds. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jer 29:11 I found a very good study on the Jeremiah scripture that goes along with this study. 
Here.
Last, but not least I want to address the last line where God will satisfy us with long life. I plan on living a lot longer. I need to take care of my husband who has been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment. (Of course, I am praying for a healing but am ready to step up if necessary.) I need to be alive and kicking when my son gets out of confinement in 2033. (Yeah, part of the trials our family has been facing.) Today I read in Isaiah where King Hezekiah was dying. He reminded God of the good things he had done in his life and God gave him fifteen more years! Is 38:1-5 WHOOOOP! That's me! I claim that as well! How about you? |
