These are just some scrambled thoughts of mine, I am sure it makes no sense but, I pray that the Holy Spirit will speak in the midst to encourage you to build God's Kingdom!
Lord Bless You and Keep You!
There is so much to process in our daily living. A few thoughts I am processing include how God truly cares for each one of us. In praying, and through this song "The Blessing" by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, and Elevation Worship I think of how we pray for all generations. In just thinking about my husband and our immediate and extended families it covers so many people in prayer. It goes our grandparents, parents, us, and our kids. But then, if you think about our parents siblings (Aunts & Uncles) and our siblings and then their spouses and their kids (our cousins, nieces and nephews), and then the spouse families (the people that we are not actually related to but, are connected to that one person that we know! It covers so many people! I know, a crazy thought but, we are praying over EVERY FAMILY AND EVERY GENERATION! And that does not even cover your friends and neighbors and all the connections there! This truly does involve thousands of people if not everyone! I know, I make no sense right now but, it is exciting to think about Gods mighty work through every person and how he works in COMMUNITY!!
Take time to pray this song through the people you know!
"May His favor be upon you and a thousand generations,
and your family and your children, and their children, and their children!!!
May His presence go before you and behind you, and beside you, ALL AROUND YOU, AND WITHIN YOU, HE IS WITH YOU!"
He is with you in the morning and the evening, at home, at the grocery store, during this quarantine, during your walking and your cooking, and your time together with the people in your immediate surrounding! Remember the truth and the promises and hold onto them! Jesus is the way the truth and the life!
John 14
Believe in Jesus! He is the way, the truth and the life! If we really know Jesus, we know his father.
...very truth I tell you, whoever believes in me WILL DO THE WORKS I HAVE BEEN DOING, AND THEY WILL DO EVEN GREATER THINGS THAN THESE, BECAUSE I AM GOING TO THE FATHER...SO THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED!
...If you love me, keep my commands. He will give you ANOTHER ADVOCATE to help you and be with you forever-THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH!! HE LIVES IN YOU!
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid! Peace I bring to you!!
The word of truth!! Ahh! It just gets so exciting and so convicting!! Let do this. What God created us for! To be in community. To love one another. To be the peace that God instills in us and ultimately bring glory to God our father!! Amen!

This is a song by Josh Wilson called Here I Am Anyway.
Go and tell your story. God, what will I say? I'm so scared. Unprepared What difference will I make?
If its weakness that you want, I've got more than enough
Some days I am so afraid to show this world
I give you all of me, my insecurities
God I don't have what it takes
HERE I AM ANYWAY!
God, I've got so many questions, wondering why you placed me here
you have given me these passions, but they come with so much fear
sometimes they don't make sense at all,
but I guess if i was brave, then I wouldn't WALK BY FAITH!
If you say GO- I won't say no!
Your power is made perfect, when we are not enough!

Have the faith! Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Let's do this!! Be confident in our faith!!

LET FAITH RISE UP! OH, HEART BELIEVE!
LET FAITH RISE UP IN ME!!!!

PEACE.
No matter the circumstance in life, we continue to have peace. Why wouldn't we? We know who our God is. We know and believe with FAITH that he CONQUERED the grave over 2000 years ago. He conquered death. What then do we have to fear?? When we know the Lord as our savior in our own heart, even the worst news...God is still here and he brought peace! The Lord is here and there is no better place than to be walking, better yet, running with the Lord in this life! This gift of life that he has given us.
Let's be FEARLESS FOR THE LORD. He is EVERYTHING!
If he is the only one we fear, then we gain wisdom (Proverbs 9:10) and understanding to conquer anything that comes at us, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE SHIELD OF FAITH!! (Ephesians 6)
