1 CUP AT A TIME!

Day by day. Step by step. Moment by moment.One cup at a time.

That's what progress looks like!

Though PM cuppa's look like this...................

ONE STEP AT A TIME!

Step by step! May the Spirit of the Lord rest upon us--a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength, a Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah11:2) As Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit for direction, (Mark 1:12) may we as well during this time of transition.

In Henry Blackaby's Words, "Allow God to lead you step by step to produce lasting spiritual growth in you." (Experiencing God, 236)

If we walk with Him closely today, we will be in the center of His will tomorrow.

Henry Blackaby

May VICTORY come one step at a time. Victory in Jesus! 

C-C-C

Three Cs for Christians today as millions around the world seek counsel from God's Word.

May words from Scripture convict, comfort and help conform our mind's to His words.

GROW AND GLOW!

How does one grow and glow?

Growing anew with a life change of location and all a move to a new state involves is all beyond me at this stage in life. 

It's not beyond the Lord. 

Trust is key when circumstances change both suddenly and dramatically.

How can one leave a beloved church family whose support she/he has cherished for 45+ years?

Keep on keeping on---in His strength/ the power of His might. (Ephesians 6:10)

Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and spirit and serve Him well......

• not hesitant
• not holding back 
• not lazy
• not lagging behind
• not slacking
• not slothful
• not tired of working

Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame.....(MSG)

FLATTENED BY FATIGUE: FUEL NEEDED!!

Fuel my prayers, Lord.
Your strength is needed!

Clinging to you Lord!

Your strength is needed! (Psalm 56:3-4)

Use my cries for help and your strength and power to shoulder me up that I might continue to love and serve others well.....whether I feel spent or not!

Fuel my prayers NOT fears. 

Lord, "I will trust in You" alone for all the rest! 

REFLECTIVE TRUTH!

Times of reflecting....
One might need to return to basics especially during this time of hurry-scurry.

CLEARING OUT!

What to keep? What to pitch?

Clearing out! Paring down!

Whatever one wants to call it-----it's hard to do!

But God.....in His love and mercy is there. (Ephesians 2:4) In His Word! 

May I never "pare down" my time in His Word,

May the Lord continue to hold my steps to the path He has for me even when I can't see what it is! (Psalm 17:5)

REVIVE & REVERE!

VANIITY OF VANITIES! Anything done without God's Guidance is vanity! (Ecclesiastes 1:1)

TURN AWAY MY EYES FROM LOOKING AT VANITY

REVIVE ME IN YOUR WAYS

ESTABLISH YOUR WORD

TO YOUR SERVANT

AS THAT WHICH PRODUCES 

reverance for YOU. (PSALM 119:37-38)

3 Rs....revive, Revere, REPEAT!
