Water

I have several shovels on my property, and many of them are actually mine...but several others are here to do the work of digging up my entire yard due to a water drainage problem that's been an issue since it was constructed in 2013.  I moved here seven months ago (November 2018), and I am very grateful for my new surroundings, but the palace I imagined didn't have a moat around it.  Fortunately, God led me to call upon a gentle, godly couple of men to hire for the job of this massive project; and eventually, I won't require the drawbridge to let the postman come to my front door.

Water, at the moment, is troublesome.  It's fascinating how something so essential can be so destructive.  I'm praying for the God whose voice called all that is into being, the Lord who calms the winds and the waves, Him whose feet effortlessly trod over water, because He can handle my local bit of flooding.  Whatever happens, it's going to work out in the end, and I am at peace.

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You!"

Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) 

Jotting with Johnna

• Have you felt flooded by life's concerns?
• Do you wonder when/if the tide will turn?
• Whom do you call upon when you're "up to your ears?"
• Wouldn't it be best to trust in the One who already knows your needs?
• How might you turn your cares over to Him, rather than continue to shovel blindly?
• What if that would create a flow of wellness from within that manifests in your whole being?

Remember:  control over your circumstances - and especially your response to them - is best entrusted to the Master of the Waves.  Call upon Jesus; you won't regret it.

Stay tuned.  Stay focused.  Stay well.
