"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." --Deuteronomy 33:26,27a
This is the memory verse some of us girls from my Bible fellowship class and I decided on for the week, over lunch and dear fellowship on Sunday. :) We're keeping each other accountable to memorizing Scripture each week ... and I have been so encouraged at how powerful, living and active God's Word truly is in my day-to-day life!
I know I was really blessed by this verse last night. Next week we'll be picking another verse ... anyone like to join us? :)
Welcome, dear friends! Here you will find an assortment of snippets and reflections ... and hopefully some encouraging quotes from people like John Piper and C.S. Lewis and ... most of all ... the Scriptures. :-) Leave a comment if you'd like - I would love to hear from you! Have a GREAT day.

Song of Rest for a Weary Week :)
Give to the wind your fear
Hope and be undismayed
God hears your sighs and
counts your tears
God will lift up, God
will lift up, lift up
your head
Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command
Then shall we wander on His way
Know how wise and how strong
How wise and how strong
Through waves and clouds and storms,
He gently clears the way
Wait because in His time,
so shall this night
Soon end in joy, soon end in joy.
God will lift up your head ...
(Jars of Clay: "God Will Lift Up Your Head")
Somehow this song just resonates with me today ... I had a really wonderful, memorable Thanksgiving weekend with my family, but somehow this week has been been kind of a tough one for me, and I find myself in need of rest and solace ... refreshment from my Savior. I know it's a busy time of the year for so many of us, but it's always been my favorite!
I LOVE the Christmas season, and I think the stressful times this week are a great reminder to take some time to sit back and rejoice in the One we celebrate this Christmas ... the One who will lift up our head and pour His words of refreshment into our hearts. How I praise the Savior that He is always with us ... and that He came to this earth around 2,000 years ago to be born in a stable ... to redeem us!

How wise and how strong
