Perfect and timely devotion for this season

"Now to him who is able to keep you from falling" …  Jude 24a

When the bottom is dropping out, we have a source of strength that can keep us from falling all the way.  God is our safety net, a very present help in times of trouble.   When we feel as if we cannot find our footing again, God catches us and carries us when we cannot walk the path on our own.  When we find ourselves in a free fall, there are arms already reaching out for us to lift us from our distress.

When I think about it, I do know that you have reached out to catch me before, dear God.  I have been rescued in more ways than I can count.  I am grateful for that and I pray for the help to remember those times more and more each day.  Amen. 

Blessings,

Molly

Just need to say this....

I've received comments since I started this blog about how strong I am and what a great attitude I have about all of this.   I just need to say that I don't want anyone to think I have conquered this situation.  I do have days where I am really battling my flesh while fighting this fight.   I have had times where I have soared through the day with amazing faith.  I have also had times where I am down in the dumps and fighting hard to walk by faith.   This is by far the hardest thing I've ever walked through.   These posts are written to encourage myself as well as anyone who reads this blog.   I often go back and read through them to remind myself where we have come from so I can see God's faithfulness in this journey.   I must remind myself of the great things God has done for us and what I've learned through this.   I'm thankful that my Father is strong when I am weak.  I'm also thankful that He has promised to never leave me nor forsake me.  He is with me always.    May God continue to grant us strength for the journeys we find ourselves walking.  

Blessings,

Molly
