Over My Head

This morning while I talked with the LORD I felt panic coming on. It was early and dark. Fear was surrounding me. In a time of economic uncertainty I was wondering how my family would like the new Christmas I have planned for them. And on a more serious note I started wondering about what the new year will bring.

What will we not be able to pay for first?
Should I stock up on some food? will we loose our insurance? will the government take our home because we cannot pay the taxes?
What about my children? the little ones have needs? and what will become of Derek so far away in Philadelphia........
I started to hyper ventilate

OK calm down....The LORD has always taken care of you.

I check my e-mail. Needing to connect with someone....
Grasping at straws
I go to the LPM blog

Whats this....OVER MY HEAD

I am intrigued. I was so blessed as I read what Beth had written....

"JESUS is so worth of our trust no matter what has taken us by surprise. Picture that, when the enemy asks for a little extra access to you, the only reason why GOD may have given him permission is because he knew you would prove faithful. Do the thing. In the unseen realm, angels are cheering and demons are jeering. You are in the stadium and the bleachers are full. Hebrews 12:1 Take one for the team if you have to. Be strong and courageous. Be willing tos how people how its done. Don't look for a leader. You are the leader. People are looking to you. Be deliberate. Make sure they see Jesus. We're not here all that long and then there's BLISS. Forever bliss. Till then, we're over our heads. But we can dang-well decide what kind of over-our heads we're gonna be."

I really needed to hear these words from my favorite Bible teacher. I really need to never forget them so I wrote them down and just maybe you are here because you need to hear them too.

As if thats not enough--there is a song too.
