YUCKS!

I am prone to forget, to forget the goodness of the Lord, to forget the promises from His Word. That's my current motivation to resume blogging again - so that I will not forget as I reflect upon His promises.

"Is anything too difficult for the Lord? . . ." Genesis 18:14
That is the Lord's reply to Sarah when she laughed at the promise of a son.

• Are my deadlines in school or my upcoming practicum too difficult for the Lord?
• Is the dreadfully yucky church split too difficult for the Lord?
• Is my new year resolution to honor Mum, Dad and those at home in actions too difficult for the Lord?
• Are my hidden thoughts and whims too difficult for the Lord?

Nothing. NOTHING is too difficult for Him. With men, all things are impossible. With God, nothing is impossible. It is only a matter of where I place my trust - on myself or on the Almighty Him.

I feel awful this period of time when I am stressed with work and church issues come to mind. I may have picked up this rather crude word recently, it now seems to be the most appropriate word for me to express my feelings about the church situation now - YUCKS! I dread going to church this Sunday again even though I remember what E said "the remanant would be blessed". Will God really bless? I don't want to be Sarah #2.

"In the mouth of the foolish is a rod for his back, But the lips of the wise will protect them." - Proverbs 14:3
Help me to keep my mouth shut, especially during this delicate period of time, when I return to church.

I thought that this proverb was apt in applying to my own attitude when I am communicating with my family especially. How so many times I could had avoided those tensed arguments if only I had kept my silly mouth shut! Sigh!
