First and Foremost....

To All My IFTS Blog Subscribers,

My apologies for the late August Post. This just shows everyone that life happens and sometimes you have to deviate from the best laid out plans. As I let everyone know earlier in the month, I was tending to my mom's health issues and I asked for prayers. In the early morning hours of an August Sunday my mom had a massive heart attack with 80% of her heart having blocked arteries and blood vessels. She has had two surgeries so far to unblock the passages too and from her heart. The doctors say her heart is about 45% healthy right now. We are waiting for another surgery to be scheduled once she is strong enough.

I want to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for all the love and prayers that have been sent up into Heaven for my mom. GOD listens and He has definitely answered!

Although this month has been chaotic and has me far removed from my IFTS blogging duties, I did not want this month to pass bye without staying in touch with my loyal IFTS family. I still have not been able to sit down and write a personal blog as I normally do, so I am posting something from the Bible App that I read daily. I believe the message is something everyone can use and learn from.

I look forward to being back and writing for the IFTS Blog soon.

Thank you all once again for your thoughts, prayers and positive energy.

"YOU ARE ENOUGH"

❤️ Amy

What's Guiding You?

Think about a decision you made recently. Maybe it was choosing what to wear for the day. Maybe it was figuring out whether or not to take a new job. Or maybe it was simply deciding to say “hello” to someone you didn’t know well. The average person makes thousands of decisions each day.

While our choices don’t carry equal weight, every choice we make contributes to the direction our lives take. The good news is—we don’t have to make decisions alone.

God’s Holy Spirit is with anyone who believes in Jesus, empowering them to live in a way that honors Him. So right now, think about a decision you need to make, and when you’re ready, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

A Prayer for Guidance

Holy Spirit,

You know my heart. You understand my deepest wants and needs, and You know my every intention. You know me better than I know myself. There is nowhere I could run to escape Your presence, and nothing I could hide from You!

And that’s why, right now, I am asking You to give me Your divine wisdom and guidance.

I don’t always know what to pray for. My soul is weary and I am tired. I often worry about making the right decision—but I want to live a life that honors You.

Even though I may feel like I can’t move forward or see what’s ahead—You see me. And You know me. So please guide me. Show me the paths that lead to abundant life, and convict me when I am tempted to stray from You.

As You guide me, restore me. I will place my hope in You at all times because You know all things, and by You, my life is held together. You are my strength in times of need, and You have become my salvation.

So hold me close, Lord, and teach me to walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have given me. Direct my steps as You guard my life, because I want to glorify You.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
