The one Jon will find boring, or maybe not
I just realized today that a female shepherd is called a shepherdess....DUH! Anyway. I first have a prayer request because my little sheep (a.k.a. my Lil' Stars) are performing on Saturday at our school's Basketball game. I just hope they all can attend and have fun!
I just learned recently about all the things that were going on in Denmark. I did not realize it was so bad, thank you American News for informing us. I was upset and I didn't know how to handle finding out about everything. If you don't know, Denmark as been having problems with the local population of Muslims. I felt close to being racist, but the evidence was in front of me that this people group had done awful things to the Danish people. I know that is a very general statement. The point is I didn't know how to face this as a Christian. But luckily I listened to God when he chose to speak through Jon's writing. Jon wrote a devotion on his Jesu Juva site about distractions and God. I realized that I needn't be to worried about what's going on because it's in His hands. If He wants me to step out and do something and be active I will until then I will do my Christian duty and speak out against it. I didn't realize till now that something else Jon wrote helped me. He also wrote a poem on his Ever After site (I always want to write Ever Ever After...Katie knows what I'm talking about). This was about an unknown wood, well anyway I brought up a verse in Isaiah 40:17, about "the nations being as nothing before God". Why should I worry about this nation or any other, and that includes nations of religions? Our God is in ultimate control. He is the one who we look to when we want to look at everything else.

:D Happy moment.
Don't worry, sis. We all get worried and upset, and it is hard to rest in God's plan, especially when the world seems to be falling down around us. I pray for you.
I will google it because I didn't know anything either!
