"I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about." Psalm 3:6
Look into the little snowbird's eyes. He is at peace with his maker. I watched this bird and several others during a recent snow storm. Each of them were calm and unbothered by the change in weather, yet a storm threatened their food supply.
This little bird is reminds me the battle has been fought and won by my Heavenly Father. Both the battle and the victory belong to HIM. I must trust HIM through the storms of life and the battlefields I must traverse through. Confidently, I must cling tightly to my Heavenly Father completely surrendering any fear or discouragement and allowing HIS peace to pour over me.
Join me today, leave your burdens where they belong: At the feet of Jesus!
Fully Surrendering,
Andrea

Thaat little bird is adorable. Looking into his eyes is a peaceful thing. Birds are just such beautiful creatures. You capture them well.

When you wrote, " at the feet of Jesus ", my heart automatically said, " Yes, Lord, today, it's all about Your feet".. I wanted to share this poem I wrote some time ago.. It just makes me think of your awesome ( and beautiful reminder! ) of the place we all can go, when storms of life assail us.. Thanks for blessing me today with this beautiful reminder, sister..
Falling at the feet of Jesus
with my heart exposed for Him to see
I came to the Throne of my Redeemer
as He took my sins and set me free.
He broke all the chains that binds us
he unlocks the door of darkness and despair
He sees those dying in the darkness
but by HIs Grace , he doesn't leave us there.
Yes, His Grace is overwhelming
He sees our sin so broken down
when we fall at the feet of Jesus
His Love for us will be found.
Yes, his Grace is overwhelming
as he saw my sin so broken down
he still loves me in those moments
He is the answer I have found
Oh my Savior came to save me, Yes!
by the gift that He provides
He comes with arms extended
His Love, He grace-fully, supplied
Yes, His Grace is overwhelming
He sees our sin so broken down
By His stripes He has come to redeem
on the Cross, there is forgiveness to be found.
Yes, his Grace is freely given
as he sees our hearts opened up to Him
His love ,overwhelming in that moment
by His Stripes, He has freed my chains of eternal sin
"My American flag is in need of replacement.
Hugs,
andrea"
Thanks for entering!
May I be as you say, fully surrendering.
What a delight to get to know you more friend. And what a joy to have Nana and Papa pouring into you.
Hugs for your day,
Sara (AKA Sarah Dawn)
We are surrendering with you! :)
God cares for the birds of the field, so we know he cares for us.
I like the photos you have on your blog.
And I like the lead song. I'm an Alan Jackson fan.

Andrea:
Thank you for the reminder. We sometimes get too involved in the 'hassle' to remember to lay our needs at Jesus' feet.
Andrea:
I really love the simple and yet profound truth of this posting. Sometimes we complicate things... HE has it covered!
Hugs!
Sonja
Wonderful post, Andrea...always appropriate and applicable in our daily lives...there is no other way to get through the storms but on the wings of our God.
I've missed visiting you...will try to catch up soon.
Blessings,
Mary
I am now surrendering something as simple as asking God to help me get to sleep. I tend to wake several times in the night and each time I will ask him to help me get back to slumberland without tossing and turning. I need all the help I can get. Blessings.
All creation shows forth his praise! Beautiful thoughts!
Thank you, Precious Father, for all of the wonderful provisions you have given my family and I. I am forever grateful. I know that You will take care of everything!
Surrendering to God gives so much peace!
I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am clinging and surrendering. Amazing what we can learn from the animals who trust their Maker without doubt.
Oh sweet friend...I am thankful for you..your posts are so so beautiful. xp
Thank you for being HERE and thank you for being THERE (comments on my blog).
You are appreciated!
Well illustrated truth of God! - "Cling tightly," Check! "Completely Surrendering" - mostly. "Allowing His peace" - Oh, yes! "Leaving my burden" - By His grace, yes!
I need this every hour!
I'm on the computer at our bookstore and it lets me see your blog, not like my silly computer at home that likes to kick me off for some strange reason. I popped over to see how Amden was doing. I hope he gets to go home soon, if he's not there already.
I like the analogy that you had with the bird in this post. AMEN!
It is good to remember that we know who wins.
Thanking Jesus for giving His life so I can live.
What a wonderful gift I can be comforted by every minute of every day.
Thanks Andrea for these wise words,
Nannette
Great reminder for me today!
Andrea, i just wanted you to know first of all i am praying for little camden and his parents tonight and your entire family...blessings for the blessing (of you)
second, you've challenged me...i read somewhere here awhile back that you said your family knows that "(i) you don't see things as they do."
I've been challenged to look with different eyes, questioning eyes, eyes that will ask God what I should see instead of eyes that believe everything they see. make sense?
love you, mighty warrior friend. xoxo
and, yes we are alot alike. i like to know the facts and i see them in black and white. it's just that simple in my mind. so all of this gray matter that floats around cancer can become slightly annoying unless my eyes are focused on my Healer.
i mean, Amden not Camden...sorry =)
thank you for sharing this beautiful words...
have a great week,
justyna
So true. Thanks for the reminder.
Just spending some time catching up.
Hugs,
Kat
