Hello everyone! I know its been quiet some time since I've really posted anything. Here is a verse that I read in my time with the Lord today. It's one of my all time favorite. I really recommend you read all of Psalm 46-47. I found so much comfort in God's word today knowing that He is in control of EVERYTHING that is happening. He is our sovereign God. Hope it will minister to you as it did to me. God bless!
Till next time,
Leslie
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge"
Psalm 46:10-11

Praise Report
Hello everyone! Hope all of you are doing well. I just wanted to let you all know that I am finally back home from our trip to CA. It was a blessing to be able to get away for a few days. I also want to thank you all SO much for all your prayers. I am truly blessed to have so many friends and to add to that prayer warriors. Your prayers were truly heart felt and the Lord answered our prayers. My back pain did go away for those few days. It's a lot better than before. I am so thankful and putting my trust in Him. I will however be going to the Dr. this month just to make sure it's not something else besides my siatica.
Yes, it was painful, but I found so much rest in the Lord. I don't know how I could have made it through my days without His help and without all your prayers. "Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 106:1
I'm not sure how often I will be posting. Since my back injury, I think I might have to lay off too much time online. I will try to post as often as I can. Thank you once again. May God bless you abundantly.
In His love,
Leslie

Inner or outer beauty?
Hello everyone!
I want to share a little of something about the Lord revealed to me this morning. As I was reading God's Word, He convicted my heart on this. All month I've been super busy trying to get some fall clothing shopping done. We will be taking a vacation soon and visiting my sister in law and her family. Its been two years since we last saw her. I of course want to look my best when visiting her. The point is I have been putting so much effort into how I am going to look on the outward appearance rather then the inward. I can look my best outside, but what comes out of my mouth and actions will reflect my heart. I was so convicted. I know that I need to ask the Lord to work on my heart more than the outside appearance. Thank you Lord for revealing this to me once again. What a blessing it is to have the Lord and the Holy spirit directing us when we get out of line. I know now that the Lord doesn't mind me looking presentable and good for my hubby, but the question is What are my priorities? At what expense? Will I be stressed and moving my family aside to get all of MY things done? What about God? Where does He stand in all this? I need to keep my focus on Him and not let other things become first in my life. I ask for your prayers that the Lord will prepare my heart this week and use me to minister to those around me family, friends, and all. May He prepare me for my visit to my in-laws and show me how I can be of hands and feet to Him. Here are the versus that spoke to me...
"Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror." 1 Peter 3:1-6
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil." 1 Peter 3:15-17
