Picture Dees #31 Snowdrifts of Life's Troubles


Oh the beauty of God’s artwork continues to amaze me. As I looked upon the snowdrifts left by months of winter storms I saw the flowing water able to cut through and make its own path.

That same beauty if found in the Living Water of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter what life’s storms have piled up around us. If we allow Christ into our lives He is able to cut through and make His own path into your heart and into your lives. Never doubt the power of God and the purpose of that power.

A week after this picture was taken the snow was totally gone and the creek continued to flow. God does that for us. He doesn’t just cut and run He is there to stay. Our job is to come to the Water. To quench life’s thirst with Him instead of trying to find it in other things such as other people, drugs, drinking, sex, video games, hobbies, habits, sports, or anything else.

Allow Him to flow freely in your life, don’t build a dam of bitterness, mistrust, and a “me first” attitude that stops Him. Let Him flow, He can cut through anything. Eventually life’s difficulties or troubles will be gone but He will continue to flow. Stop and look. Stop and allow Him to flow in you.

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
