What a beautiful day I have arisen to this morning! I’m looking out my backdoor gazing at the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. Having lived here nearly two decades, I continue to be so blessed when I take time to see God’s wonder in the mountains. Pike’s Peak looms in the distance, truly one of God’s beauties. Thank you God for your creation and for allowing me to enjoy it.

Thanks for all your prayers. I find it hard to ask for help—imagine that! I know this is a characteristic of finding it hard to trust God as well. I’ve always been ready and waiting to help anyone in need, while stuffing my own needs down, smiling and going on.

Perhaps God is saying to me today as I’ve said to my children, HELP ME HELP YOU!!

“Okay God. I’m letting go as much as I know how—I’m looking to YOU for my help. I know You will send it through your Word and through Your people. In YOU do I put my trust. Thank You for sending Your love on the wings of an email from those who love me and You. This is a wonderful day. Thank you for it!”

Hey, Frieden’s, we are good people. God has made us strong, but not intended to carry the burden alone! Love you all and miss you too, Liz!!!
