"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

Earth Day

Wow, I just think how today is Earth Day....and that GOD is the creator and HE sure did make everything. Our lives should be centered on and around HIM. Nothing else...it is ALL about HIM.

My friend, Ryan, sent pictures of the view of his backyard: the sun setting behind the mountains. Then, I am remembering my drive home from Grand Junction, as well as my time there with all the beauty GOD has created. And then to think, wow, HE not only created those beautiful views, but me as well as all of you. I am going to share "God Calling" for today:

Trust in Me. Do as I say each moment and all indeed shall be well. Follow out My commands: Divine control, unquestioning obedience- these are the only conditions of supply being ample for your own needs and those of others.

The tasks I set you may have seemingly no connection with supply. The commands are Mine and the supply is Mine and I make My own conditions, differing in each case- but in the case of each disciple, adapted to the individual need.

Have no fear, go forward. Joy- radiant Joy must be yours. Change all disappointment, even if only momentary, into Joy. Change each complaint into laughter.

Rest-Love-Joy-Peace-Work, and the most powerful of these are Love and Joy.


Once again another life change with a job for me is happening. Right now at the school where I work we have two ILC teachers, but next year are going form 2 to 1.75, meaning one teacher will be going to 3/4 time....And today I found out that the teacher would be me.

I know GOD has a plan and these words from "God Calling" along with Matthew 6:25B-26 from the Message used in "Living the Message" today gave me Peace.

(Jesus said,)"There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of GOD. And you count far more to him then birds." Matthew 6:25B-26 (the Message)
