Be Still

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting to you, in your part of the world!

Today we received the news we had been hopeful of. 'Apparently', we do not fit their 'mandate'; it is 'outside' of their 'parameters.' They are reticent to help, as we (our business) does not fit as comfortably as their formula dictates. However, they will assist us, under very specific terms (that will be very difficult to attain).

We are going to keep on trekking; because we believe that He has a Purpose for all of this.

Have to share that all this goes back to the greed of the CEOs' of banks (their bonuses) and various financial / mortgage institutions. It is not new news to any of us. Methinks humbly, that all those that 'partook', should return / 'reinvest' the funds back into the system, to stimulate the economy. We, like most people, have been 'prisoners' of the credit freeze /crunch; and by the banks now not trusting each other, whoops. Downhill slope, folks. Even with the money given to the banks for the sole purpose to revitalize and stabilize our economy, it is not happening. Instead, the banks are 'hoarding the funds' and 'sitting on it'; to improve their 'bottom line'. Well, if the banks are our friends, who needs enemies! At the moment, they are more of a hindrance than a help.

We have a new quality option that has 'just shown up'; so we will be continuing to follow His Instruction to Live Moment by Moment. Regardless of the 'ups and downs of life', we must move forward in our Walk with Him and Relying on Him 'Allways'.

Thought I would give you a tid update; and may it be a bit of encouragement to those of you, who are experiencing the same.

We have two lovely Prayers in our downstairs bathroom with the following special messages.

"Trust in the Lord
with all your heart
and lean not unto your
own understanding.
In all ways
acknowledge Him and
He will direct your path.
Proverbs 3:5-6"

and:
"Be still
and know
that I
am God.
Psalm 46:10"

Will say that after the early morning 'news', I felt a bittid discouraged, dismayed, and even 'stunned' by their response. However, we received another phone call,'out of the blue' (the new quality option!), shortly after we said out loud together, 'Praise Him In ALL Things'. We also Prayed and reaffirmed all the more, our TRUST in Him to Provide the Solution. Ultimately, when I was in the bath, I 'heard' the thoughts, "BE STILL. I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU". That gave / gives me a tidbit of comfort and a calm; and to just 'leave everything to Him'.

We also received word about our neighbour 'Marueen'; she is presently being fitted with a permanent pacemaker, and the plan is, she will be coming home tomorrow afternoon. Thank goodness and Thank God! Also, we will be 'creating' some more soup for her lardeur, as well as ours!

We woke up to a bittidz of snow this morning; what a tidbitz surprise! As it is a very chilly day, even with the sun shining, am going to enjoy a nice cosy fire of the 'found wood' (from the lane), that Alan has just made! Also, to appreciatively Reflect and Thank Him for all our Blessings. I LOVE the above photo image of 'Seek and Ye Shall Find'.

God Bless.
