I've been struggling with worry, something I must have inherited from Gram, I remember she would lay up at night worrying about people and things...haha, gotta love her-but about the job, what could I have said? Will they pick me? What will happen? blah blah blah. I have to tell my self to stop and pray, and to quit being so silly. Then in my inbox this morning Joel's message was once again very helpful and I hope it can be helpful in some area of your life as well. Read on...
Walk Through
Today's Scripture
“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me” (Psalm 23:4 NKJV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
Do you ever feel like you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death? During the tough times, it’s easy to get to discouraged. I love what it says in the verse, “though I walk through…” No matter what you are facing today, know this: you are not alone, and you are just walking through. You don’t have to stop and live in the tough times. They are only temporary. I encourage you today; don’t allow fear to paralyze you in the middle of “the valley of the shadow of death.” Remember, God is with you. He is walking beside you. He is strengthening you. He is making a way of escape for you. He is lining up people and situations to bring you out of that tough place into a place of strength and victory. Don’t give up! Press on and walk through! Begin to get a vision of your life on the other side. See yourself more loving, more faithful, stronger and more blessed than ever before. As you keep moving forward and walking through, you will get to the other side and experience the victory God has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Thank You for walking with me even in the hard times. I trust that You are taking me through my circumstances to a place of victory and strength. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

So encouraging to know that we are just walking through, and don't have to stay. Although sometimes I think we cause ourselves to stay much longer than God would have us. I hope you and Howard are doing well, this is a great way to keep up with people! By the way... I changed the address of our site to thebruckers.blogspot.com which is different from how it started! Are you guys going to be around C-town for the holidays??
Funny I have been giving the same subject a lot of thoughts lately. And looking at Noel, I see how carefree children are,(see our latest blog) How in the world did we lose that innocence? How did we grow so "worried" as we grow older. Looking at life from a child's perspective is harder to do than said.
