In His Word, I Put My Hope

By

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalm 130:5

(Pic taken today during our snow storm)

I noticed my kitchen window has snow stuck to it this afternoon. Cool! Then I looked closer and sensed God showing me more.

This image touches my heart because the stained glass Bible and cross is made by my Grandma who is in heaven. I believe she prayed me into God’s family. Thank you, Grandma Bilo, for your prayers. I wonder if God told you how much they mattered. The “hope” balloon reminds of how precious God’s Word is to me. I put my hope there alone! Read verse above again. And this Christmas cactus started to bloom while I was away at the retreat, just as the trees outside are loosing their leaves. A sign of new life. Thank you, Lord. The snow reminds me of God washing away my sins and making me white as snow. All because Jesus paid the price for me. For you. So much truth in one small spot of my house today. WOW!

Had to share this picture with you!

  15. I love reading where people see God in the things that surround us. He is there, too often, we miss seeing Him.
    Praise God for those "praying grandmothers".
    Lovely post!

    Thank You for visiting my blog.
    In return I was able to find your blog of wit and wisdom and beauty.
    I read your story and Bless you for sharing it….we are over comers by the word of our testimony and even when things are not our fault the truth of releasing them sets us free…..oh how wonderful to be free. I will add you to my prayer list and pray for you every day as you talk to other people and they will see God's gentle hands extended.
    I joined your blog and I hope you will consider joining my blog. I LOVE TO MAKE PRECIOUS NEW FRIENDS.
    My precious only daughter Amy has only been in heaven 7 1/2 days. I AM VERY JEALOUS OF HER THAT SHE IS IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR JESUS AND HAVING SUCH A FAMILY REUNION BUT I AM THRILLED SHE IS IN NO LONGER SEVERE PAIN……SHE SUFFERED SUCH UNBEARABLE PAIN THAT EVEN PAIN MEDS COULD NOT STOP BUT WOULD PAT ME AND MOUTH, AS SHE HAD A TRACH, DON'T BE SAD MOTHER. SHE WAS SO BRAVE AND LOVED JESUS SO.
    Thank You once again for stopping by to see me.

  21. Beautiful! I love the photo and love what you said. Your post is a visual and spiritual blessing!

  22. I just love when God speaks to us like that! Thanks for sharing this word of encouragement, for HIS word will never fail us.
    Blessings in Christ–

  23. Tiffany — thanks for reminding me to look beyond the obvious. You have such a gift for seeing God's glory in all things.

  24. Tiffany, how fitting this post is for me today. Thank you so much. It is this very truth that has pulled me through some difficult times when I felt so alone, like no one understood and God seemed distant. He is true to his word, my hope has been restored over the past several months and I attribute it to simply going back to basics with God and allowing myself to believe what the word says. He is all that he says he is in his Word. Blessings my friend.

  25. Thank you for sharing this Tiffany. God's sweetest gifts are the ones when He speaks to us in such a way when we are simply going about our day.
