REAL TALK from KB: I am THANKFUL for the love of my family.
Five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and my first Thanksgiving was a
mixture praise and fear; I learned to pray and praise through the fear. God did
not give me the spirit of timidity. In
my fourth year of remission, my partner
and friend of 16 years passed; I again had to rely on my faith to get me
through.
The family
has just been expanded by two babies in the past twenty months. I've just
recently gone through some major emotional upheaval... and through it all
....my God, my faith has been my anchor so I am THANKFUL for Psalm 46:
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad
the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

I am celebrating in the word: Romans 12: 2 Do not conform to
the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
I will ALWAYS be guided by love in every aspect of my life....however
misguided I may appear to the rest of the world; I know love has the power to transform even if it's just me that it is transforming.........
