my portion


i have been down in the dumps lately.  
i shared a little with my sister this weekend 
and before i left to come home, 
she handed me a stack of verses.
  As i read through them, i was reminded of how God uses people in our lives as vessels of His love. 
My sister is and has always been a tangible example of how God loves me.
He used her again this weekend to speak into my life, to move in my heart.


how easily i forget the power of my heavenly father's words. 
They are life-giving. 
I am clinging to this verse today.  


Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I will say to myself, "the Lord is my portion, therefore I will wait for Him! The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him."
Lamentations 3:22-25

  1. Love this! Found Deut. 10:21 in my quite time for Bible Study
    " He is your praise. He is your God, who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen." Reminded me of how good God is and how he is our ultimate prize!!! Miss y'all, hope Houston is treating you well!
