A Time of Upheaval and Conflict

Today I am feeling the effects of my life being in upheaval and a small
(I hope it's small) conflict.









I looked for verses to help me with these feelings and I'm going to share them tonight.

I know I keep going on about my life being in a bit of turmoil and you have all been so kind to listen, encourage and pray.

Since I'm still trying to get through this I'm stressed out and am taking a break tonight. Here are the verses I read tonight to help me.

"You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me."
Psalm 139: 3, 5, 7, 9-10 NLT

AND

"...live in peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you."
2 Corinthians 13:11 NCV

AND

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Matthew 5:9 NRSV

  1. I will be praying for you. Please call me if you need anything or just feel like talking. I know you've got a lot going on right now with your mom and your job coming up and getting the kids ready for school. That alone is enough stress! Love you!
