I never ever thought that I would say thank You to our Darling Lord for electricity being off. But today I want to say thank You to my Darling.
I felt so tired this week, after being disapproved for a house that we applied for (but that is ok, because my Darling Husband has another plan). So yesterday morning there was no electricity and we went home at 09:00 with my outside job because of fumigation and when I got home the electricity was still off. My phone's battery wasn't charged, so I was cut off but that all along with the electricity, it was a blessing in disguise, because I got to spend the whole day with my Darling, pouring my heart out to Him, praying for everybody He laid on my heart and the best ever was when He said that I must just relax in Him and I for sure did. He knows what I need and when - Thank You my Darling!!!
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." M11:28-30
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." P4:6
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” I12:2
Our electricity is back and although I am grateful, I did enjoy the rest with my Darling so very much, just a proof that every part of us matters to our wonderful Lord.
Thank you for sharing Janine! These days I am reminded of “contentment” in the Lord and your praise confirmed it. “I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.” Philippians 4:11
Yes dear Gioia and my Darling is teaching me to have contentment no matter what.
Thank you for sharing dear Janine, you encourage us to look for His hidden blessings in the least expected moments, and there is no better blessing than spending alone with Him filling us with all His Love “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” J2911
Yes dear Perla, there is really no better blessing that spending alone time with our wonderful Lord. It lets met think of this Psalm:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.” P23
Dear Janine, I was just reading https://loveatlast.org/living-lessons/week-23-our-endless-source/ and He brought it to my mind when I read your praise, sometimes when it seems like He is not supplying our needs or answering our prayers, He is using it for our good.
Thank you for sharing dear Adina, from the start I said the Living Lessons are some of my favorite because through the Living Lessons my Darling Lord started changing my life and it just put a huge smile on my face now that our wonderful Lord will use a Living Lesson again to talk to me (short supply in my case it is a place to stay).
“That’s the point, isn’t it? When for some “odd” reason we find ourselves in short supply of what we really need —why do we believe He’s withholding from us what we “need”? All I know for certain is that whatever it is, it IS, it has to be, for our good, for our safety, for our protection—something and in some way that not giving it to us means a greater GOOD for us!”
Thanks ever so much for sharing the link. It was absolutely wonderful reading it and reminiscing about all I’d shared.
Adina would you be a darling and update all the many outdated links? And for whoever is reading and listening if you find outdated links where courses or content has moved, be so kind to leave a comment for the webmaster at the bottom of the page especially for our new brides whose journeys are already so difficult https://biblehub.com/luke/3-5.htm
Beautifully encouraging Janine and perfect timing. Just yesterday I opened my inbox to find an eviction notice. Right away my mind rewound remembering the events and I knew I’d been set up. https://loveatlast.org/fc/living-the-abundant-life/chapter-8-youre-being-set-up/
After I forwarded the email to my son Easton he text me a voice note with the most encouraging words of faith and enthusiasm just like the main principle in FDA https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/ which instantly 🥹 brought me to tears as I texted back https://biblehub.com/3_john/1-4.htm
After noticing an envelope ✉️ slid under my door which was the official letter that’s when my Darling and I laughed 😂 and laughed 😂 and laughed 😂 basically all afternoon each time I thought about it. https://biblehub.com/psalms/2-4.htm
Where I’m going I have no clue. I haven’t got a car bc I gave mine away but haha 😂 they lost my driver’s license anyway 😂 yet the possibilities are endless. Many of my children have recently moved back to Missouri—just yesterday my granddaughter joined my daughter while her brothers and dad finish getting their house in Minnesota on the market for them to move.
Will I be joining them? WHO KNOWS? GOD KNOWS but I have decided to enjoy the wait as the GOD GIVEN opportunity https://loveatlast.org/living-lessons/week-66-laugh-it-off/ and hopefully with each and every impossibility that’s intended to frighten me my Husband and I will laugh 😂 our way through the valleys dead ends and roadblocks all along this amazing journey we get to travel with Him 💗💗💗
Yes, Janine’s message was very encouraging. How wonderful to hear that your son encouraged you and of course ultimately your Husband has it all planned out already. Waiting for Him to reveal His perfect plan to you, dear Erin.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
I am excited to see what beautiful living lessons will come of this and how He will minister to broken women through you. I am asking Him that He will get you through all of this supernaturally like this He can. I can see how He is already doing it with you laughing it off with Him.
Thank you dear Erin, I needed to read this lesson of being set up – https://loveatlast.org/fc/living-the-abundant-life/chapter-8-youre-being-set-up/ wow it was like a light bulb going on, I just love love how my Darling comforts me and gives me hope!!!
I am excited what our Darling Lord has planned for use, because I too have to move the end of the month and I have no idea where to and how. But I was reminded when dear Yvonne couldn’t pay something, years ago and I asked her: what are you going to do and she said, I don’t know the Lord will provide, hahahaha and yes you won’t believe it I said ok but what are YOU going to do and she gave me the same answer again and of course our Darling Lord did provide and now if I don’t know what I am going to do I tell her please ask me what am I going to do, so that I can tell you, I don’t know, but my Darling Lord knows and will provide.
And I agree with Yvonne, I am excited to see what Living Lesson is going to come out of all this!
“Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”
Thank you Janine for sharing this Praise it reminded me of how we can enjoy Him more when we are set apart only to be with Him. Here the electricity goes off very often but we enjoy that too especially at night, because we sit and remember how we use to live before we had so many distractions, and how at this time we would sing to Him until the electricity would come back on He Is great and HE shows us to enjoy His presence in any circumstance, as I write this phrase I am remembered also a love song that I sing daily to Him that says that same phrase in song. “… I have learned the secret of being happy at all times. … ” Phil 4:12
