Enjoyed a wonderful Summer.

I took a little time off to enjoy the Alaskan summer with my wonderful family. We spent many outings at the park running and playing. Enjoyed many walks and bike rides and getting plenty of exercise. We visited the Alaska zoo a few times and always seem to enjoy the animals and exercise of walking around the entire zoo. Although we tend to be very quick about it. A visit usually only takes us about 45 minutes. Alaska usually has a very sunny May,June and July. In August and September our sunshine decreases and our rain increases. We are enjoying the beginning of our fall. The leaves are falling off the trees and the temperatures are also falling. We know that it is only 6-8 more weeks til the snow flies.

I hope everyone else has also enjoyed their summer. As Fall approaches, my prayer for you and each of your families is a renewed faith in Jesus. A walk with God that refreshes and strengthens each relationship you have. I earnestly pray that whatever struggle you may be facing right now, that Yahweh holds you close and guides you through as you faithfully trust in His Will and word.

Lately I have had some challenges that have lead me to a similar prayer. The struggles I have been facing seemed to really try my faith and challenge my walk. I knew the only way to overcome the struggle was to completely "let go" and totally trust in God's will for my life and my family. Sometimes letting go can be the hardest step to take. Ultimately though, we find that letting go frees us to not being in control and feeling enslaved to our emotions and controlled by our flesh. I am so thankful to God for his complete consistent unconditional love and strength. He is our Rock and Firm Foundation.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. I thoroughly enjoy reading your comments and appreciate your kind words of encouragement. Thank you to all of my dear sisters in the Lord.

(Be looking for more frequent posts.) Blessings in Jesus. May your day be filled with Joy and your walk with the Lord be Sweeter than ever!
