I belong to HIM

THE TRUMPET by BILL BURNS: 
The Lord says to many of you:  "You are better than you think you are.  You are a far greater benefit than you think you are.  You have not failed.  For, I am with you and I am guiding you.  You are a blessed one.  You are a royal diadem.  You are a jewel in My hand.  So, you've been through the fire, but the fire is that which makes the jewel strong; it brings forth the beauty of that stone; it releases the power of My kingdom.  So, change your mind today.  Do not believe what has been spoken of you by others or by the evil one, or even by your own reckoning.  Believe in this moment that I know you.  I have not forgotten you.  You belong to Me, and I belong to you.  So, change your countenance and become happy in My kingdom-full of joy, full of blessing, full of that which I have put in you."

One

John 17:20-23   I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

Trick or Treat

I'm preparing for my daughter's Halloween party, I found lots of great ideas. 
She's at that age where nothing I pick out is right. I will work on menu items and let her deal with the decorations per my suggestions. Can't wait to see her reaction!

FAITH

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

Rely on Me, says the Lord, for I am your strength when you feel weak and unable to rise to the occasion.  When you cannot raise yourself up, let Me lift you up.  Nothing is too difficult for Me.  Believe that I will intervene on your behalf and do that which is beyond your human energy or ability to achieve.  Your faith will make it possible. 

 

Mark 11:22 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God."

Moving on

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

You are indeed entering a new season where old things are coming to a conclusion.  Take time to remember and be grateful for those who have been a help to you along the way, and be ready to move on to the next phase of your life.  This phase will also have challenges to face and victories to win, but you must go forth with courage and faith in order to make the most of it.  I am with you and for you, says the Lord. 

Isaiah 42:9  Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

Loving Futuristic looks

What is done is done; what is past is past

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: 

You are entering a season of recovery--a time when you will have opportunities to recover all that has been lost.  You must not dwell on your losses, but have faith in this new beginning.  For, I tell you honestly, that what is done is done; what is past is past.  You can do nothing to change what has been; you can make the most of the days ahead by allowing My Spirit to be your Guide, says the Lord.  Put your trust in Me. 

 

John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Directed Steps

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: 

In a vision I saw a man navigating a mine field.  Every step was calculated and deliberate as he searched the landscape for even the slightest or most subtle signs of danger.  His senses were heightened so that nothing could escape his attention.  I watched as he was able to follow the invisible path through difficult terrain.  And, I heard the Lord say:  Even though you are making your way through what seems to be ominous circumstances, I am with you to direct every step and bring you through to victory.  Do not be afraid. 

 

Proverbs 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Spiritual Desert

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS: 
Position yourself for a new beginning that will follow the changes over the last months that have brought you to a place of order and in alignment with My plans and purposes.  Yield at this time to the moving of My Spirit as I bring you out of a spiritual desert.  And, trust Me with your life, your purpose and destiny, says the Lord.  You are embarking on a new day! 
 
Psalms 118:24 This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

FOCUS

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:

In these times of stress and uncertainty, it is imperative that your faith be  strong and your focus intact.  You must rely on Me when things seem to be out of your control, says the Lord.  Nothing is impossible with Me, and you can do all that is necessary when you put your trust in Me.  Be steadfast!  Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Garage Tip

Use bungee cords to corral balls in the garage. Another idea would be to use a similar concept with a section of a book shelf to store stuffed animals or other toys in the playroom.
