I just love the verses on fear not. Here I have looked many of them and want to share them with you. Very comforting and encouraging verses these are.
What great faith and trust it takes in the Lord to truly be in the face of danger and not to fear though. It can be easy enough when all is well, our country is at peace, and we have all our needs met, ect....
But how about in a time of war and turmoil, or in a time of famine, or earth quakes and great destruction? I believe in tough situations like that one would really have to work on that almost daily. Soak your self in His Word and in prayer. And quoting some of these verses out loud would be very helpful as well.
Please read and enjoy!

Remember God is with you, He is for you, He loves you, and will never ever leave you nor forsake you.
In Him, Mae

thoughts and more to bless and encourage
It has been way to long since I have lasted posted on here. I much regret that, but I just have not had a lot of time recently to devote to my blog.
Here I come with a face book like post which I find quick to write, and hopefully should be easy to read.
Mae......
~is thinking what beautiful spring weather we have here! At the moment it is 83F and sunny! ( a little cool before the blast of the Texas summer heat!)
~ believes that our souls, hearts, minds, and our time all belong to God, and that we should with all that is our power; never fill them with anything that is not of God.
~believes that if we are truly resting in the Love of God as we should ; we absolutely have NOTHING to worry about, or fear! ( 1 John 4:18, 2nd Timothy 1:7 )
~ believes that God alone is our protector, and that HE doesn't need our help.
~ knows she is very, very blessed to have 6 healthy, beautiful kids, and a very wonderful and loving God fearing husband!!
~believes that our time on earth is short and we need to use it wisely!
~believes God has given His people great POWER through prayer! ( if we would only believe it, except it and claim it as ours)
~loves the faith of a child, and wishes we all had that kind of faith.
~thinks daily Bible reading and prayer is as important as our earthly food!! ( with out the daily nourishment that our bodies get from the food we eat we would become weak and sickly, just as our spiritually bodies become with out daily spiritual food)
~loves to talk to others about God and His great love and protection over us!! ( my most favorite subject to be exact!!)
~thinks the best part of our days is our Bible reading time in the mornings, and our story time in the evenings!!
~thinks that children grow up way to fast and that we need to make the most of every moment we have with them!! To me watching T.V and movies that are not edifying and encouraging is not a good way to spend those dear moments!!
~is looking forward to heading north soon, and if I do not have time to write more before, I will be sure and post after we arrive and settle in.
Wishing you all a very good day!!

the faith of a child
To me there is nothing more precious than the faith of a child.
And we had a wonderful experience here recently.
Last Sunday we were headed out someone where. So my husband went to start the van.
But it would not crank even after a few minutes of trying. We previously had no problems at all with it , so we were all surprised that it would not start and wondering what might be worng with it.
Then Sam asks, " Daddy would you like me to pray?"
Daddy told him that he could is he could like too.
So Sam comes running into the house where I was still, and begins to pray.
I was just heading into the bathroom at the moment and was going to tell him when I got out, that even though God always answers our prayers, He doesn't always answer our prayers that way we would like, but answers what is best for us. ( because I didn't want him to be discouraged)
Well before I could get out, I heard the van crank right up!
Sam goes running back out side, but then hears that the van is running quite rough.
So he comes running back in and says that he has to pray again.
So he quickly prays again. ( I did not bother to tell him anything before his second prayer. :) )
Runs back out and then van is running smooth as ever!!
As we head out our drive way he says, "Aren't you glad I prayed?"
We said we sure were!!
And I was thinking, wow, the faith of a child!!
Sam believed that if he prayed that the van would start. And it did!
Would we have prayed?
Probably not. And why not?
Would it be because of a lack of faith on our part, or because we think we shouldn't pray for something like that?
Good question.
I know that I would definitely prayed for it to start if we were stranded out in the middle of no where, and that was are only hope. But would that be right?
Should pray be our last resort?
Or should it be the first thing we always turn to?
I am feeling more and more that I need to be like Sam .
This has not been the first time he has prayed for something pacific like that and his prayers always emediently answered. His faith has really been growing and getting stronger because of it.
And my mom heart just swells with joy!
If only we could all have the faith of a child!
In Him,
Mae
I am reminded of this verses.
"....Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:4
" Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." Luke 18:17

having faith as we should
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6
Faith. A topic that has been on mind a lot lately.
I feel it is something that God is really trying to speak to me about here recently. I guess He feels I am lacking in that area. Because about every time I turn around something about faith comes up.
When I am reading in the Bible I come across verses about faith.
When I read to the children in the evenings we read about missionaries that had great faith in God in various situations.
In the kids school something comes up about faith.
Talking to a friend and we talk about having more faith in God.
And time and time again I am hit with the topic of faith.
Just recently in my son's grade one Bible work I read him the story of Peter walking on the water to Jesus. I absolutely love that story and I felt God was really speaking to me through it.
Read Matthew 14: 22- 32.
Jesus disciples were in the the ship, and the waves were strong and tossing the ship. At this point they see Jesus walking on the sea to them. Thinking it was a spirit they were very afraid, then Jesus spoke to them saying, "Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."
Peter then asked Jesus to call him to come , so Jesus told him,"Come."
Peter gets out of the ship and starts to walk to Jesus. He does fine for awhile.
But he soon looks around him and sees all the hard wind and waves. And he losses faith.
And became afraid.
Then he begins to sink.
So Jesus stretched forth His hand, and said on to him, "O ye of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?"
We can conclude that if Peter had not let the wind and waves around him get the best of him, that he would have been able to successfully walk on the sea out to Jesus.
But he took his eyes off Jesus and looked around him and thought, " There is no way I can do this, there is strong wind and waves, this is not possible for me walk on the sea."
And when he let that lie fill his head and lost his faith, he at once began to sink.
And that is what fascinates me. The wind did not get no stronger. Peter just simply believed that he could not to do it any longer, therefore he could not. He lacked the faith.
Faith. That is the key.
By faith Peter walked on water.
By faith Peter could have continued to have walked on the water.
By faith many great people of the Bible accomplished a mighty great feat. ( Hebrews 11 speaks of them)
Who changed since Bible times, God or man?
We know God is the same yesterday, today and forever, so that means man is the one that changed. Somehow and somewhere along the line we lost faith in God's ability.
God's power and ability has not changed, but we have changed.
We have believed Satan's lies.
Satan has told us God no longer works like that as He did in Bible times.
Satan has told us that God can't protect us anymore from our enemies, and that we must protect our selves by our own earthly strength.
Satan has told us God does not have control of the womb, and that we must control that area of our lives our selves,
and ect., ect......
We have looked around us; we have believed the lies of Satan, and began doubting, and lost our faith.
It is time to get our faith back. It is time we believe that God not only can, but that He will!
So how do we get our faith back. I believe the answer lies in this verse.
"So then faith coming by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Romans 10:17
Reading and believing God's word. That is the key.
Not listening to man's reasonings and doughtings, but listen to God only.
And when man tells you that somthing is impossible, remmber that with God all things are possible.
So my dear fellow moms in Christ, do not losse your faith. But keep clinging to our Heavely Father, and keep believing that He that was able in the Bible times, is still able today!!
God has not change and He never will!!!
I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
