quiet days of fall

The weather is cooling off as fall arrives in Idaho.  Almost time to cover the bike up, but until it snows, I'll be riding. :)
Since my last blog, I have began volunteering at the church in the Benevolence ministry and in the elderly ministry where we visit the elderly in nursing homes. This ministry is just taking off and I am excited to be in the beginning of it. So that is pretty cool since I enjoy the elderly so much.
Not much in the way of work.  It is amazing to me how many BOGUS scams are out there! Just a reminder at how each of us needs to use discernment and caution when putting any personal information out there on the Internet.
I have applied to many jobs, and am in prayer that the Lord will open the doors He would have me walk through.

My mind returns to Guatemala often and particularly to a couple of the children there.  I received a phone call from one of the Mayan ladies that sells her hand made items at the park. She is inquiring when I will be returning. So far there are 4 other people that desire to return to Guatemala with me next year. No dates have been set yet.
The first priority is to become employed again, keep my bills current and paid off. Then, the plans for next year can begin.

The Lord has continued to teach me about 'my words'.  When I was young I did not realize how powerful they were and that different words really did make a difference... youth! haha

I have been listening to Joyce Meyers and learning about 'everyday' living in the Lord.  My life has been pretty quiet and I praise God. He is keeping me in my day to day bread.  It is amazing how I can not own very much and be so content in Him. 

1Ti 6:8 NKJV - And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content
Hbr 13:5 NKJV - [Let your] conduct [be] without covetousness; [be] content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

I love that the Lord will NEVER leave me nor forsake me!!  What a comfort that is! People may leave relationships, marriages, and loved ones, but the Lord will not leave me. AMEN

I am looking for work, and as we all know, the economy is quite slow.  But, I trust in God. ALL things are under His command. He is my Lord and Savior, In Him I will trust to provide the things I need, including the money to cover my bills.  As many of you know, this is harder 'to do' than to say. But, the people of old trusted God, and so shall I.  He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Hbr 13:8 NKJV - Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Below are some "Trust" scriptures. It is good to read aloud and HEAR the word of the Lord. :)2Sa 22:31 NKJV - [As for] God, His way [is] perfect; The word of the LORD [is] proven; He [is] a shield to all who trust in Him. (AWESOME, HE IS MY SHIELD!)
Psa 18:2 NKJV - The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psa 37:3 NKJV - Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Psa 37:5 NKJV - Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring [it] to pass.
Psa 91:2 NKJV - I will say of the LORD, "[He is] my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
Psa 115:11 NKJV - You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He [is] their help and their shield.
Psa 118:8 NKJV - [It is] better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.

People will let you down, but NOT the Lord.  We (me included) may not understand the Lords ways, but His ways are way beyond my comprehension, and yours too
BUT, the good news is this: He has given us HIS Word, the Bible, so we CAN know Him.. that is awesome that He loves us enough to give us information about Himself and provide a way to live forever with Him... :) yeah, now that brings a smile to my face!

God bless each of you as you seek Him in your daily life. May our Lord reveal His truth to you and give you peace and understanding.

In Him;
Kim
