Let me please be clear . . I am taking time to be Still and Know that HE is God. I am praying/fasting to see what direction God wants for my ministry. . God’s plan. .NOT my plan. Even Jesus rested on the 7th day, so at this point I …do feel God is saying . . you need to be STILL. There will ALWAYS be evil in this world because we are ALL sinners, but we have a choice to Trust God and know he is in control or stray away. . It makes me sad when people go through struggles and get angry with God. . maybe God is just staying SLOW DOWN. . Maybe God has a bigger blessing. . I will NEVER turn from my Lord and Savior no matter what I go through. These trials are small compared to eternity. Someone spamming my FB page isn’t going to make me stop feeding the hungry. One thing I am confident is that God wants me to continue my ministry just not sure if he wants me to do it in another way, i.e. maybe he only wants me posting deals 4 hours a day. . I don’t know, but what I do know is God has a plan and I need to be obedient to HIS plan and not MY plan. I also know I am under attack by Satan, think about it, we are getting ready to fill Food banks all over the world. . . that definitely is not something Satan wants us to do, but I know the battle has already by won. Satan is defeated so he can get out of the way, because this ministry will go on one way or another God willing!! I need God to speak to my soul in what HE would have me do – HIS DIRECTION. I mean he is God, LOL:) Maybe the true blessing in my page getting spammed is I was reminded to slow down. There is a blessing in every evil thing, we just need to find it (but in finding it we have to first look for it) Here is a devotion I read in my quiet time this morning. . . WOW!! Mark 6:31

Jesus Rested With Friends…
You know how busy you get some days doing the Lord’s work. People are coming up to you asking for prayers for themselves, for their love ones, and others. Every time you turn around someone is telling you of a need and we are not to let a need go ignored.
Jesus knows how hard it is to keep up with the demands of all those who are hurting. He also knows the importance of rest. We will be most effective doing the Lord’s work or any work if we also take time for rest.
Gospel writer Mark told the story of the disciples returning to Jesus in chapter 6. They told Jesus about their successful time of ministry in the towns of Galilee. Because many people were coming and going they did not have a chance to eat.
Jesus said to the disciples, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” (Mark 6:31) If Jesus thought it was neccessary when he walked on earth for himself and for his disciples to get some rest, who are we to think we don’t need it.
To be at the top of your game you must get some rest from time to time. Continue to be God’s hands and feet. He is the great provider. Keep showing God’s love to everyone.
