Where Do I Begin, 🎬 Take 7

   

Follow this podcast at www.blake-morton.com

A podcast on how to find answers in the midst of our worries, struggles and stress. The Bible gives us all the answers and a good place to begin is in the book of John of the New Testament.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrated His love toward us, in that while we were sinners Christ died for us.

I Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.

Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us.

I Corinthians 1:9a God is faithful.

Let me know if you need prayer and encouragement today. Please pray for me as I begin to do this podcast to give others a word of hope!

Don’t Worry, Trust God

  "Consider how the wildflowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." ~Luke 12:27

God tells us that we are to do our best at being disciplined in His Word, and then leave the rest to Him. So often we unnecessarily worry about how something is going to happen in our lives, and are we doing what we can do to make it right. We have to have faith that our God will take care of us, just as he takes care of flowers. Gardens are so beautiful if we are tending them just right and letting nature take its course. Like the gardens, we must trust that if we are doing the right thing and living in His Word, that He will allow us to bloom. It's His promise! We are not to worry!      written by Wendy Roy Cronon

Who Am I?

I Peter 2: 9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

 There have been years of my life where I have been a wife, a mom, a grandma, etc. Also, a time in my life where I felt like my life consisted of being a taxi driver for my kids and all their social events. As a wife and a mom you tend to lose your identity in the family and forget who you were or why God created you in the first place. 


In order to gain perspective and find myself again I would take a trip with my own mom or visit my family and friends in Tennessee. There I would find myself again. It was always good for me, refreshing and gave me the strength to come back home and begin again with a renewed spirit.


My mom is great to travel with because she makes it a fun and enjoyable time for me and for everyone who comes along.Visiting family and friends consist of laughs and memories that we all share. Laughter is always good for the soul and this is just one way to keep me balanced! 


Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." If your thinking changes, then everything else can follow.

I've always wanted to be somebody, but I see now I should have been more specific.~Lily Tomlin
