Word of the Day is
Resilience
Resilience
Definition:
1. speedy recovery from problems: the ability to recover quickly from setbacks
2. elasticity: the ability of matter to spring back quickly
into shape after being bent, stretched, or deformed
Can we talk a minute about life, about the joys,
the sorrows, the trials and the tribulations?
Do you look at your problems as potholes,
or as an opportunity for growth?
Many times, most times, how we view,
re-act and inter-act with one another
directly affects our own progress.
I have a joint partnership with two significant, most
important, most life affirming people in my life.
My first partnership that I made was at the age of 16,
in a little church in Hannibal Missouri. I forged that day
in front of all that I love a partnership with my Heavenly Father.
I came to know him for myself, reaching an age of accountability
for my actions, thoughts and deeds. A partnership that would prove
very lucrative, should I hold up to my end of the covenant.
Should I spring back quickly after being bent, stretched and deformed
by my Heavenly Father, if I am to be resilient.
At the age of 16 God the Father had to mold me and make me,
he had to bend me, stretch me, deform me from my worldly
thinking, into the mind that He created me to be.
My second partnership that I entered into was at
a little church here in Columbia. I forged that day
in front of all that I know and love a partnership with
the man that was to be my husband. A true gift from God
given to me on December the 2nd, 2006. A partnership that
would proved very lucrative, should I hold up my end of the covenant.
A covenant made with my Father, leading and guiding the two of us the
rest of the days that we shall live.
Our marriage is one of resiliency. We are able to come together
Our marriage is one of resiliency. We are able to come together
in the face of an adversity, seek the Father and apply
a solution. With our Father's direction, my husbands
wisdom and my gift of creativity and organization
we are able to be resilient.
My husband is an only child, I am the oldest child,
the oldest grandchild on both sides of my family.
My husband is an elder, praised and highly respected
at the city gates. I am a minister of the gospel,
serving those in need with a spirit of hospitality.
I tell you all this to let you know that some resiliency was
involved in both our lives as individuals before we
came together. We are still as God created us in our
mother's wombs, we chose the path of the Father.
So, do you look at problems as potholes or
opportunities for growth? Are you resilient?
Able to bend, stretch and deform, are you
elastic springing back quickly from the setback,
trial or test.
The Word of the Lord says:
Psalm 91
1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2) I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3) Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6) Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9) Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10) There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12) They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13) Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14) Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16) With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
