The Spirit of the Lord is calling us back to the things we first believed and experienced. This is a call to return to our first love. Stir up the gifts that were imparted to us through the laying on of hands of those who went before us. The wolrld needs to see what a godly walk and real joy looks like. Ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of promises you received from Him and instructions He gave us that we have not lived up to. The best is ahead but we must be available to follow Him in His time and His way!

When it is hardest to trust the Lord is when it is the most special to Him! Everyone can say how much they trust God when things are going just like you want them to. If you are having a particular struggle and do not see how God can possibly work it out; that is the perfect time to speak to the storm and allow God's peace to calm the waves of fear and doubt. You will never be sorry for trusting in God. You may not get what you were believing for but at least you can say "Lord, I would rather be wrong and trust you than be right without you."

God's design for a family is that we all allow Him to be the head and all of us be who He made us to be. There would not be any fighting to change anyone else in what they are called to be. Trust that God is working in your family IF you are praying for your family. This does not mean praying that God change everyone else but you. Family is God's idea and He knows what He is doing. Follow the Lord and you will see IN TIME what you are believing for!
