“My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.”
–C. H. Spurgeon, Streams in the Desert

Thriving at Home in Difficult Circumstances
22 Mar posted by
“We can live in a cozy apartment, a large mansion, or a charming mobile home. The people who live with us might be irritable, pleasant, young or old. Our neighbors or relatives might be intrusive, bossy, or constantly seeking the latest gossip about our lives. . . It really doesn’t matter. . . Each circumstance is like a test to see how well we can thrive in our environment.”

Are their circumstances in your life that you wouldn’t have chosen? Have you seen God working them for your good?
We want to hear about it. In fact, we want you to be a part of a special video project to show the blogosphere that God’s 8:28 promise is true.
This post touched my heart. There are so many things I would never have chosen (to be a single mom being one of the main ones), but I can see God’s grace poured out over me and my children. God really does mean everything for good. Read more about this project at True Woman | I Wouldn’t Have Chosen This, But . . ..

Making the Gospel Believable
19 Mar posted by
Ladies, people should be able to look at Christian women and see a response to troubling times that is different, unexplainable. And let me tell you this—the world is not impressed when you are happy and peaceful and joyful in the good times. But when you go through the tough times and you don’t crack up, fall apart, get into depression and despair, they take notice. That’s when the gospel that we preach becomes believable to those that we live with.
I’m thinking of a woman who came up to me recently and she said, “My husband has lost his job, and I’ve lost my job.” And then she said with a big smile, “But we still have Jesus.” That’s a woman who is a woman of strength and dignity.
