…give God glory and honor.
You say, What?!?!
Exactly! By faith, do the “unfeelable” when tough times are all over you.
Put these words into “living color” and put your faith into action: Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1Peter 1:3-7, NIV).

What are your thoughts about people who try to cut-down you and what you’re doing? How does that kind of attitude affect you?
What about the people who inspire you and help you to become a better person… How does their “building you up” affect your character?
Well, here’s a quote from Mark Twain about this very subject: Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Hmmmm…soak in that!

The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe (Pr 18:10, NIV).
Uhmmm…when things are going nuts and they don’t make a lot of sense, where do you go? Where do you run? Where’s your “strong tower?”
Today, may you have a go and run to The Strong Tower…let Him have it; tell it to Him “the way it is”…He’ll carry you … He’s your Constant Companion; He won’t let you down.
God’s tender mercies to you,
~Patti

Posted by Patti Foster on May 1st, 2009 — Posted in M.A.D. Now!
Today, I had a great late-lunch with one of my high school friends! As we talked and gabbed, our minds began to go back in time to the night of June 18, 2002.
Laughingly she said, “Patti, you eat like a bird. You are so little!”
“A lot of people tell me that! But,” I said, “since the wreck, I eat SO slow…I can’t eat very much anymore…the wreck took it away from me.”
“Oooooo and what a price you paid for that diet!” 
“Nobody wants to pay that!”
“Uhmmmm…how right you are! Part of my body is on Hwy 69… Nobody wants to pay that kind of a price to get skinny!”
To which she added, “Yeah, Girl! You were cruising down 69, and the next thing you knew, you were flying out of the Tahoe and onto the highway…they said you swirled around on your head across 69!”
“No way!”
“Yeah, they said your head was huge!”
“What?” I said. And then, into my little brain, came this new nickname - “I guess you can just call me 69 Swirl Girl!”
The tension was broken and a good laugh was had! …then, in no time at all, we started talking about all the miraculous ways God showed-off and made His Name glorious through this wreck!
Ya know, as I’m writing this, a verse in Genesis is coming to my mind: You intended it to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done - the saving of many lives (Genesis 50:20, NIV).
