Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding
and lean not unto thine own understanding
~ Proverbs 3:5
i still miss my being at home with my parents
i miss going for a stroll on a country road
i miss the clear sky and the clean fresh air
i miss watching the sun set
it's difficult to clearly see
and understand why
God placed me where i am now
but I'm learning to trust
and pray...
O that now i might decrease!
God placed me where i am now
but I'm learning to trust
and pray...
O that now i might decrease!
O that all i am might cease!
Let me into nothing fall!
Let my Lord be in all in all!
and while you are here
would you please say a prayer for me?
I have a 15 minutes white board Presentation for my promotion
on Monday.
Thanks for stopping by..
and thanks for praying...
Love,
Ruth

Hello Ruth, Yes He does lead us and we trust Him because in the long run, He knows the way better than we do.

Hi Ruth:
ReplyDeleteGood to see you posting again. Often we don't understand why God places us in certain places or situations, but He is working all things for our good and for His purposes.
Praying for you.
Joan
We too are far away from home and family but where the Lord leads that's where I'm content to be too Ruth.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you in prayer for Monday.
Hi Ruth, I will pray for you today. You will be blessed for following God's call.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are back blogging again Ruth...i have missed you....i know you miss your family very much....God bless you for all you do.....and thank you for being such a wonderful encourager over at my blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteI ask right now Lord God for you to shower Ruth with your Blessings in Jesus name! Amen!
ReplyDeleteI pray that God will send his Angels of Communication to stand by your side and guide you during your presentation.
ReplyDeleteBeing or going where we find ourselves, is all part of the journey we are on and part of the plan He has for each of us...may we all keep the faith and believe in a better tomorrow...xo HHL

ReplyDeleteyou and send His Spirit to bring you peace.
i pray that He will also anoint you to make
the best white board presentation ever.
no fear, in Jesus' name!
Dear Ruth, I would be happy to pray for you. My kids are in their 20's too, with many changes ahead for them. And, at any age we wonder sometimes why God has brought us to the place we are in. TRUST. That's what He asks us to do. And He is trustworthy. Praying for your presentation on Monday too.
ReplyDeleteRuth,
ReplyDeleteHey there young lady! It's been awhile since I have been over here to visit you.
At any rate, I pray that you will do well on your presentation, and that you don't get too nervous. May the Lord "heal" your "anxious butterflies."
Blessings to you,
-Lady Rose
Your words remind me of the book of Esther that says "for such a time as this". God has you where He wants you just for that reason.
ReplyDeleteIn His Love...Deb
Being away from home is never easy, but God has a plan for your life. Trust in Him. I am lifting you up in prayer this weekend. Best of luck on your presentation. I know you will do fantastic!
ReplyDeleteRuth, I'm praying for you. I know you will do great on your presentation.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult being away from family and we don't always understand His ways but know that he has a plan for you.
Blessings,
Annette
Praying for you, Dear
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers. My grandma always told me to "Grow where I was planted" because my husband was in the military and we moved a lot and those words always comforted me. Have a blessed Sunday and a great presentation.
ReplyDeleteHI Ruth..I'm so glad you'e back and posting again. I understand you missing being home with your parents. The pictues of those mountains were so beautiful...there and I am praying for your meeting....Have a great Sonday.
ReplyDeleteI will pray for you. Your scripture is perfect.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Ginger

Dearest Ruth,
ReplyDeleteOoh... I understand the pain of being away from parents and a place we call home filled with warm memories and all things familiar. I hope you have a chance to be reunited with your parents again, soon. And I wish you well on your promotion presentation. Keeping you close in prayers! :)
Thanks for stopping by. I'll say a lil' prayer for you too! Tara from undeserving grace
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth,
ReplyDeleteI just came over to say "hi" and let you know that I am thinking about you...and I will pray for a wonderful presentation for you tomorrow!!!

Many prayers are with you, Ruth, including mine. It isn't always easy to know what God is doing in our lives. Sometimes it is years later that we can see why we were where we were at a certain time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your heart with us.
Blessings,
Charlotte
Stopped by to say thank you for coming to my blog and commenting and you blessed me SO MUCH with this post!
ReplyDeleteOh how hard it is to totally trust, yet when we do how SWEET the blessing! How I wish I could do so with much more ease and not be so much like an Isrealite, forgetting His previous blessings.
I said a prayer for you. Hope Monday goes well.
New follower- Saying prayers.
ReplyDeleteAll my best,
Clay

So hard to be away from family, the familiar, the fun. Trust God will send you some new family in the place your are now. They won't take the place of yours, but they do bring the comfort of knowing we are important.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for your presentation!
