Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt—Through

Sometimes the only way around a problem is right straight through it. Much as I would like to be relieved from some pressing issues or hoping they will simply vanish into thin air, pressing through them is often the only way out.

I have often sadly wondered how folk go through the many trials in life without Jesus. My life would have fallen apart years ago had Jesus not held my hand and walked through with me. Precious Jesus, hold my hand I have called out to Him over and over again. He has never let me down.

I thank God for our great-Aunt Margie who spoke and lived her life dependent on Jesus as my example. The Scripture she quoted to me so long ago have borne me through many a heartache:

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, Lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path. Psalm 3:5-6

He will go every step with you. Upholding you, comforting you and strengthening you. Do you know Him? Have you called to Him? All you have to do is ask. He is waiting to hear from you today.

I will never leave you nor forsake you. —Jesus

Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt—Someday

Someday never comes. That is what my mother used to tell me. But Scripture tells me that a desire worked on diligently will come. I have chosen to believe Scripture, though I have known the truth of Mom’s words too.

It has helped me to write down goals for my someday. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I do not. So I suppose the question I have to ask myself is this: How badly do I really want that someday to come? It must come from actions done by me. I am thinking if my someday never comes, I probably never really wanted it begin with. Dreaming is free and easy.

Does this make any sense?
