"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Being Tested

Wow, has God tested me today. If you recall my entry on March 1, 2007, I wrote about needing to have plans, but remembering that it is still all about God.

Well, that is easy to say about the Mission Trip, however, in my classroom that seems like a different story. And I realized that today. I know it is the week before a break and the end of the quarter........so I don't want to end in the middle of a subject.....so I attempted to get it all in. And when it seemed like things weren't going 'my' way......well, I began to laugh and remembered my words and knew the Lord was testing me.

Funny thing of course is the way He confirmed, as HE ALWAYS does, to me. I was reading Our Daily Bread for tomorrow, tonight, and it took me to Psalm 66: 1-10.

Hmmm, verse 10: For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. Of course, I took the 'us' and changed it to 'me'. He could not have spoken more clearly to my thoughts of the day.

God continued to bless through the words written in ODB: Sometimes our plans break down and our efforts fall short. When things happen that we can't control, we must "keep on travelin'" and remember where the real power for godly living and true praise comes from. When our efforts falter, we need to keep praising and lifting up Jesus. It's all about Him anyway. --Dave Branon.

Psalm 66: 4- All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You.

A student even shared Psalm 24: 1 with me today: The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Thus, He reminded me again that everything is all about HIM.

Hello. I ran accross your blog randomly thanks to the "next blog" feature, and when I clicked it again it brought me back to your site again.
Not being one to believe in coincedences I stuck around and read thru some of your post.
I just want to say thank you for being a faithful witness for Christ and spreading His gospel out there where you are.
It's funny to think that our prayers for 'harvesters' are answered in the work of folk like yourself whom we havn't met.
But way to go!
Keep strong in and for the Lord, and may He bless you and yours.
