"Don't Be Afraid. Just Trust Me"


Please join Charlotte and Ginger and many others for Spiritual Sundays

I belong to a prayer group called the 10:59 Group. The daily message I received on Saturday was one that is such a comfort to all of those in need at this moment. Feel free to pass it on.



"Don't be afraid, Just trust me!" Those are encouraging words, don't you think? To know for sure isn't it important to know who is saying those words? If it is from me to my granddaughter to convince her to jump in the pool; I want her to know that I have her safety as a highest priority. It is words to build confidence. If the words are coming from a used car salesman - I would be a little more careful as to the motive behind the words.

But what if these words were coming from Jesus? How would you feel then? What if you just got bad news; devastating health report; rejection of the 2nd interview; the check bounced? But Jesus was there, he held your hands, he looked into your eyes and penetrated your very being and told you "Don't be afraid. Just trust me." Wow - that would change everything. If He told me not to be afraid; to trust Him - If he was right there - I could do that. 

A local religious leader's daughter was very sick, he was scared, he did not know what to do, he pleaded with Jesus to place his hands upon her so she would be healed. Jesus went with him, On the way, the message came that the girl had died - it was too late; no point in Jesus coming any longer. 

Mark 5:36 But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."

Those in the home were mourning, but Jesus said the child was not dead, only sleeping - they laughed at him. In the room, with the girls father there, Jesus took her by the hand and said "Get up, little girl." She awoke. 

At 10:59 today, lets take a moment to pray for all those who are broken, who are struggling with today, who are barely hanging on. Lord, you are right here, right now. Take my hands, Let me look into Your eyes, and let me hear you say "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."

Keep At It


 The following is today's message from a prayer group I belong to called the 10:59 Group. It was a wonderful message...feel free to pass it on and you can sign up to receive daily Inspiration at
1059message@gmail.com

Each night a little girl threw one of her shoes under her bed before going to sleep. When her mom asked why, she replied, " My Sunday school teacher said if I have to get down on my knees by my bed in the morning to look for my shoe, it'll remind me to say my prayers while I'm there.! " If it helps, throw your shoe under the bed - shoot, throw your whole wardrobe under your bed!!!


Colossians 4:2 Don't be weary in prayer; keep at it; watch for God's answers and remember to be thankful when they come.  


The day ahead will have many challenges for us. We are already worried before we get started. We are experiencing heartbreak; we are pressed from all sides; yet, we must find strength to get through. Because as you "Get Through" you grow and can be of service to others - because you did it! Then you can share your God Moments with others and give them hope. Only when we have spent time in God's presence in prayer and drawn strength from Him, will we be equal to the challenges we face today and tomorrow and the next day. 

So, like the little girl who throws her shoes under the bed, we are reminded at 10:59 to come to you in prayer Lord. We first Give you Glory and Thanksgiving for all You have already done for us - the many prayers answered already during our life. But, we come to You again, humbly, and ask for the strength that we need from You for today. You already know our needs, but we will ask expectantly today what is on our heart. We pray for all those who are hurting and need strength as well and for Your Glory to be seen so that others may believe.

Cozy Warmies for Fall

It has been several months since my last post, no excuses, just life;)
With the cooler temps here in the Peach State, I was inspired to get going on my warmer items and added this new pair of fingerless gloves to my Etsy Shop.
I plan on making several more pairs and since I love to trim and embellish, I have a feeling there will be a variety of colors, styles;)
This is how they look on~

Pumpkin Orange Scarflette available here.

Crocheted Hat that is made in same yarn as the hand warmers shown above. Is available in other colors as well.
All of these items shown are ready to ship unless a different size or color is needed. Feel free to share these with your friends, I would really appreciate it:)
