7 Big Benefits of Standing on God in a Topsy-Turvy World
Wouldn’t it be great to stand strong in this world gone mad? You can! I’d like to send you 7 scriptures that describe exactly what happens when we decide to trust God as the foundation in our lives. (Hint, one is joy. Another is unmoveability. I think that’s a made-up word, but the scripture isn’t made up. It’s for real.)
Anyway, join my subscriber tribe here! (And look in your inbox for those 7 scriptures!)
There you are, Meagan. Always cheering. Always steady. We need to hatch a plan for me to come back to the motherland. Love you!
Gretchen, thank you so much for checking out the blog. I love your phrase, “make good use of my vulnerability.” Beautiful. Next time I’m in D-town, dinner!!
Those are sturdy words coming from my first publisher. Thanks for reading, Pres. Your encouragement is a gift.
At one time or another, we’ve all been there, right? Sitting alone. Or helping someone find their brave. It’s fragile stuff, soul work. Thanks for reading!
Love this article! Great job Laurie!
I Cor. 12: 12-27 is such a great reminder, especially when we’re feeling small. Thanks for reading, Paula!
Thank you, Cindy! Every Wednesday I’ll publish a new post. That’s my aim. And if I was Wonder Woman it’s because I had a whole lot of people giving me wings. You made me feel like the ground I walked on was gold. I’ll always be just so grateful for you. (Some of my hair styles, tho. How could you not have TOLD ME! 😂)
❤️❤️❤️
Oh Claudia. Forever you’ve been my cheerleader. Thank you!
Laurie, Such a brilliant story and so well written. You had me at “skipper.” Every person can identify with a moment you described, even the “skippers” who find themselves out of their element at some time in their life. My take away is the beauty of helping someone find their identity. The real “who they are” away from whatever any one else says, but only who the great “I Am” says they are. Can’t wait for your next blog
Thank you Terry! The real “who they are” in the “I am.” Brilliant.
Beautiful article, Laurie! It makes me happy to see you’re still writing (our mutual friend Wendy Jeske shared your post on Facebook). I didn’t like recess as a grade schooler, either. My Mrs. Lyons was called Mrs. Herrera, but instead of sending me outdoors, she gave me a job to do indoors—design a new bulletin board for the classroom—and suggested I invite a few classmates to stay in and help me with it. That accomplished the same goal of building friendships, but didn’t force me outdoors on cold winter days to play games I loathed, like dodgeball. I’m still so grateful for the wonderful encouragement and opportunities my 5th grade teacher gave me. She’ll always be my favorite.
Mrs. Herrera sounds like good stock, like someone with great eyesight and foresight. I’m so happy to hear from you!
Thanks Giselle. You are the consummate encourager and someone whose relentlessly positive outlook I aspire to!
Oh Laurie, I love your gift of taking those ordinary happenings we all relate to in one way or another and building them into our wanting to go to the playground to at last do to do what we do best on those darn monkey bars! I love your words and the encouragement they explode in me!! Thank you, dear one!! You are a wonderful writer!!
Carole, your words are dear. I’m keeping them forever and ever. ❤️
