As I have read and meditated on the scriptures cited with the "Jesus calling" devotions, I am encouraged to know that even David struggled. In Psalm 13:5 he says: I trust your love and I feel like celebrating... (Feb 4). Then in Psalm 42:11 he cries out: Why am I discouraged?...(Feb 7). From celebration to discouragement--this is just one example of his contrasting feelings. <br />Note: I am using the Contemporary English Version (CEV) in my quiet times this year.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994839174871354791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636046765485147938.post-42219618583773065522010-02-11T23:31:54.903-06:002010-02-11T23:31:54.903-06:00Thank you for your warm comments about my folks. ...Thank you for your warm comments about my folks.

Your father is so funny, he will start talking and tell his wonderful stories, then your mother starts patting his leg to let him know it is time to quit talking. <br /><br />They have been an encouragement to me many times.<br /><br />PeggyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651642626044773630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636046765485147938.post-686676203347587462010-02-11T07:40:27.159-06:002010-02-11T07:40:27.159-06:00I get so discouraged sometimes because in my 56 ye...I get so discouraged sometimes because in my 56 years of life, I still allow the dark times to overpower me!
