Consider The Lilies (Luke12:27-28)

My husband is a freelance graphic artist. He currently works for a company as a subcontractor and is paid monthly per a contract agreement. He found out last week the company may not be able to keep him as a subcontractor. They want to keep him and pay him as long as they can. There is no guarantee that he will receive a check next month. His job is unstable.

I praise God for my Christian friends who have been supporting me and praying for me. I received a card in the mail from a friend who wanted me to know she is praying. I have received emails with scripture and encouraging words. God is so amazing. I love the way He puts people in my life at just the right time.

I have a relatively new friend at work. I invited her to our church ladies' meeting last week. In the midst of everything going on at home I completely forgot about it. She came in my office and reminded me of it by letting me know how excited she was about it. I got excited again just through our conversation. We went and had so much fun. Our friendship reached a new level that night. God knew we needed each other. Her grandmother passed away two days later and we spoke on the phone a few times encouraging each other.

The message at church Sunday was amazing too. Pastor preached about trials and the way in which we walk through them. He reminded us that people are walking behind us and seeing our footsteps. We can choose to go through trials with or without God. We can choose to give or not to give God the glory as we overcome them. It made me think that my husband needs me to be strong right now. I CAN be strong because I have the Lord. I choose to walk upright through this trial and trust in the Lord. He knew this was going to happen and He has a plan for our family. God will provide for all of our needs.

A verse keeps showing up through email and my bible study.

Luke 12:27-28

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith? (KJV)

I ask you to please pray for my husband and our family.

God Bless.
