Psalm 103:15 "As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children - with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts."
My Husband knows actually what i need to cure my cold. Nope not his hugs and kisses, though it`s great to get that. And not bouts of medicine. But the "Cure for my Soul".
He has been trying to get me to listen to our Japan Church MCC, message from Pastor Roger Horwood ( a guest pastor from South Africa) and i had been thinking, " Well i had been attending church here, was it necessary ?"

It was! I listened to the massage on " I love you", his last one before leaving japan and heading home to South Africa and realize indeed. God wants us to have a full life, full of Joy, Excitement and Love abundance. He gave love so we can love others!
Why have i been so downcast and sad?
I should look forward to the future with great Joy an remember the promises that God has given. Like the ones below that Pastor Roger had mentioned.
"Sometimes we wonder if God has forgotten us . . .
- or has ‘missed’ something
Isaiah 54:10 “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”
But does that mean we won’t have any problems?
Isaiah 43:1 But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
I think back on the 30 years that God has given to me. The past trials, the joy of redemption and and love, friendships that withstood time and distances. Bonds of family, marriage, peace, hope and a future as a mother. What more can i ask , but to sing Him praises and thanksgiving.
I hope to be a true believer, i want to have the joy and be a women that can give more, a wife and mother that God can be proud of!
May the Lord grow and mold me each day!!!!
Ps* We have about 4 more weeks till Noah is born! Pray for us! Heal me Lord of my Cold and my Soul!
