Thou Wilt Keep Him In Perfect Peace

“Discouraged people always overstate their problems…” I chuckled to myself when I first heard this statement. As I sat in one of the services at Crown College’s Youth Congress a couple weeks ago I thought, “Yes, I have done it!

 Being home all day with a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old I often get overwhelmed and discouraged. Some days the house isn’t getting cleaned, my piano students will be at my house in one hour, no one has had lunch or a nap,  and we’re all still in our pj’s.

 A simple task that should only take 10 minutes drags out through the whole day.
My husband Caleb comes home from work…I go on a little rant about how I haven’t even been able to sit down or get one single productive thing done!

 But as I thought on the subject over the last little while the Lord showed me that it’s not always the circumstances hindering you from doing what needs to be done, in any area of life, it’s your state of mind.

 Sometimes all I can think about is the next task at hand…can I do it all???
The answer that I have come to accept is NO!
We were not created to be self-reliant.
We were created to need our Creator.

 The Holy Spirit wants to be in us and work through us.
By giving up on ourselves and relying on God to help us through the day it makes us free of the load that life gives.

 I don’t want to live in a chaotic state of mind.
A verse that has been a great encouragement is Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”

 I want to trust God to be able to meet my every need! And by focusing, not on my busy day, but on the Lord, my mind is at peace, my heart is content, and my joy is full.

 Loving God with our minds takes effort. I need to have him always in my thoughts.
There are so many things in each day as a mom, wife, and christian that I must have wisdom and guidance…and I’m learning more and more that I need Him every moment!

 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.  Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:8-11

“Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer”

The Lovette Family ♪♫

The Lovette Family has been friends of ours for several years.  They are a sweet family with a desire to serve the Lord, and we would like to share their family's CD with our viewers.  =)

Bobby and DeAnna Lovette and their children attend Bethel Baptist Church in Wilksboro, NC. Bro. Bobby is a bus captain, and they work together in the bus ministry as a family.  Their daughter Anna plays the piano for the junior choir at their church and is also the pianist on the CD.  This is their church's YouTube channel.

DeAnna's Grandfather and Grandmother started singing together as a family over 60 years ago.  They sang and recorded 3 albums.  That was the inspiration for the Lovette family to make a CD.  They want to continue the heritage of singing gospel music for others to enjoy.

Another Grandfather of the Lovette's used to own a store.  A man was putting up crosses in towns in America that had a name of a town in the Bible.  He came by the store and asked if they knew where the town of Mulberry was located... It was right there at his store!  So he asked the grandfather if he knew who was the owner of that land, because he would like to put up those crosses.  So the crosses in the picture on the CD are on their grandfather's land.

Their first album is dedicated to the Lovette family's grandparents.  They wanted it to be honoring and sentimental for both sides of the family.
