Write 28 Days - Day 21 - Just {FMF)



It's hard to believe the month of March will end this coming weekend.  I haven't done very well with this challenge; but am determined to write the rest of the words that were given...

So, for Day 21, which was a Five Minute Friday prompt, the word is:  JUST.

This word can be used in various ways:

1.  adj. - "showing no favor; true/correct.
2.  adv. - "(a) exactly, very nearly/ almost; (b) used to indicate the immediate past or future (he's just arrived; (c) only (we're just good friends); (d) now (at the present moment)."  
{Definitions from the "Newly Revised Edition of Webster's Student Dictionary"}

It's hard to say what I am trying to say!  I haven't been able to write lately, and the words just aren't coming...or they aren't very clear!

Not knowing what my future - or my husband's - keeps me on my feet to do what I can to be prepared!

That's not how it's supposed to work, is it?

We should...I should...be able to just trust God that everything will be OK.

That He has everything taken care of; He is with me all the way.

Yeah?  Easier said than done!

But...



Or, in other words:

You don't need to know the future to take the first step into it!

We...I...should not lose hope!


God works in "God Time"!

When the time is right...

His "right time".

I really do know that; and understand it...

In my head!  And, in my heart!

But my first reactions are to just do it!  As independent a person as I am, that is what my first reaction would be.

Not to step back and let God do it!



And that is just what I need to do!  Step back and let God do it in His time; and have the faith that He Will!

There will still be times when I just can't let it go!  When I have no idea what I want or need...

At those times, when I don't have the words to ask for what I want or need, I can just say one simple word...

One "simple" word that is so powerful!!

Just Say "Jesus"

Listen to these words:


Here are the words to this powerful song:
Just Say "Jesus"

Life gets tough, and times get hard
It’s hard to find the truth in all the lies
If you’re tired of wondering why
Your heart isn’t healing
And nothing feels like home
Cause your lost and alone just screaming at the sky

When you don’t know what to say
Just Say Jesus
There is power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words won’t come
Cause you’re too afraid to pray
Just Say Jesus

Whisper it now, or shout it out
However it comes out, He hears your cry
Out of nowhere He will come-you got to believe it
He will rescue you
Just call out to the Way, The Truth, The Life

When you don’t know what to say
Just Say Jesus
There is power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words won’t come
Cause you’re to afraid to pray
There is just One name
Strong enough to save
There is just One name
There is just One name
Jesus

When you don’t know what to say
Just Say Jesus
There’s still power in the name
The Name of Jesus
If the words won’t come
Cause you’re too afraid to pray
If the words won’t come
And you don’t know what to say
Just Say Jesus
