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!

You have heard it was said “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy, but I tell you love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you what reward will you get? Are not even thee tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brother what are you doing more than others? Do not even the pagans do that? Be perfect therefore as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matt:5-43-48
