I do a link up called "Gateways to Joy." The name comes from Elisabeth Elliot's radio program, 'Gateway to Joy.' One thing I can tell you is that "Anything if given to God can become our gateway to joy."<br /><br />My story this week on the gateways to joy talks dealt with financial issues and my post today sort of dealt with it.<br /><br />As hard as it may be. "Live in this moment and appreciate it, and let it become your gateway to joy."<br /><br />BlessingsAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02290458545327340071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922119022944994816.post-54485305407599345932011-05-07T23:32:04.188-04:002011-05-07T23:32:04.188-04:00Oh girl ...

You let it go from the heart and it called out and wrote on my heart. I say I trust--but now, I must stop and consider: Do. I. really. trust. God?<br /><br />By the way, those of us in the church house need your family without the "church clothes" to sit in the aisle in front of us! We need to learn from you, from Christ through you. If He sent you to church, go for Him, and know that He has purpose in it for everyone. <br /><br />Prayed.Dea Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058589416716653614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922119022944994816.post-86411258662572809482011-05-06T16:33:16.593-04:002011-05-06T16:33:16.593-04:00Prayer for grace and peace during these uncertain ...Prayer for grace and peace during these uncertain days . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922119022944994816.post-25180681330921488552011-05-06T12:46:11.848-04:002011-05-06T12:46:11.848-04:00Prayers for you during the transition.

My own similar path is way too long to write in this little rectangle, but just know I am praying for you, that He will make so real, so tangible His goodness for you and your family. May you be filled with Truth in these days. (If I can dredge up old journal, I can find what He used to increase my faith--well, uses. Everytime one job ends for K we have to trust for the next one and the income. Sometimes this can happen as much as eight times a year, like last year, which I mention just to say that I do walk with you.)
