Fall Back??? No thank you!

What a wonderful time of year, the leaves are falling... A chill is in the air.... And we are asked to turn our clocks back an hour!  Well, I love it all but the last part.  Something about losing a hour of daylight with my family just doesn't appeal to me.  If I am smart, maybe it will bring us closer at meal time or allow us to have peaceful talks around a fire.  But as for going backwards-- that part is not an option.  The past few months have brought many trials in our lives.  Family, friends, and health issues have all been the target of the devil.  Through the hours of talking and praying about them, this statement was made by Jaque "I will not go backwards."  She is NOT perfect and by no means confesses to be perfect.  But she has learned one thing from her daddy..... How to troubleshoot.  Chris is the best 1) see an issue 2) run all "what if" scenarios in your head 3) take action.  Sometimes taking action is doing nothing, other times taking action is confronting problems.  But the best way to take action is through grabbing a hold of scripture and letting God control the situation.  We handle it and it will surely be a mess, God really is the only way.

When your a college kid, things change very quickly.  One decision affects the course of your future like no other time in your life.  As of late, Jaque has been faced with some adversity.  She is also attending a bible study group and church with some of those members.  Through this she has made some wonderful friends that I believe will last a lifetime.  One night, she told me she was headed out of her room, upset about a situation.... And a girl was right in front of her door.  This girl prayed with her..... And she said I immediately felt some relief.  See..... God puts the right people in our lives.  The point is we have to choose to open the door to them and let them in.  

**************One of the most recent blessings is an article at fourstatesliving.com the November issue has a wonderful article on Jaque on page 44. Great job, Peg!  Glory goes to God!  Please check it out. *****************

The holidays will bring excitement, and also will show others how God will move in your life if you can just stay out of HIS way, and in HIS will.  For JAQUE, this moms prayer is that as life changes situations  on you, never lose hope, faith, or love.  The greatest is Love, and it never fails.....

Please check out the article and if anyone would like to contact JAQUE with encouragement, please email me at hallca3017@yahoo.com and I will give you her email!  Love you all and never forget with all the bumps and twists and turns...Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, not wasted on regret or stress.
