My name is Becky Jo and I’m a wannabe Southern Belle who married a Northern Hunting Man! So, now I reside in the chilly state of Michigan – quite a switch up for this Arizona girl!!! I am madly in love with Jesus, my man, my kiddos and my grand babies. My hobby is coffee … always coffee!
The verse I’ve chosen is Psalm 118:5-6 MSG
Pushed to the wall, I called to God;
from the wide open spaces, he answered.
God’s now at my side and I’m not afraid;
who would dare lay a hand on me?
God’s my strong champion;
I flick off my enemies like flies.
Far better to take refuge in God
than trust in people.
I chose this verse because I have an old book mark from my grandma that says that this is the center of the Bible (vs.8), and I want to ALWAYS be at the center of His Will. Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people, indeed. AMEN!
Ps.42:5-6 NIV Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.

‘Behoed mij, God, ik schuil bij u.
Ik zeg tot de Heer; ‘U bent mijn Heer,
mijn geluk, niemand gaat u te boven’.

‘Wie u volgt, wacht veel verdriet.’

The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.

and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
