A stronghold is a fortified, reinforced dwelling place of security.
Strength is a place of permanence by virtue of power to resist force.
THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH AND STRONGHOLD. (NEHEMIAH 8:10)
YOU WILL SHOW ME THE PATH OF LIFE. IN YOUR PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY, AT YOUR RIGHT HAND ARE PLEASURES FOREVERMORE. (PSALM 16:11)
Be encouraged and know that your place of safety in your time of trouble lies in the joy and pleasures that are found only in His presence!

I love that picture! And we know the truth of being joyful in His presence just like how those kids were depicted laughing with Jesus.

Thank you for the sweet encouragement, friend.
Have a super-blessed day.
I love your blog because you are always so encouraging. Have a wonderful day :)
A wonderfully encouraging post Christy. The picture is amazing.
Christy,
This is a beautiful verse and picture. There truly is no place better to be in the midst of some storm than right with Jesus.

Great post!
What a comforting picture. Thank you!

Beautiful picture both in art and words. Thanks for encouraging...
Hi there! Thank you so much for your commnent on my blog! You've gotta love the Blog Hop! I, too, love your Christ art. Is it a Liz Lemon Swindle? I've seen it before but I can't remember if it's her work. Anyway, great to meet you and hope to see you around!
As soon as I saw that picture of Jesus and the children, tears sprang to my eyes. How truly intimate a portrait that is...I have known times when He was like that with me and it was incredible!
Nehemiah 8:10 is one of my favorites. All great verses for today. Thanks for stopping by today and leaving a comment :o)
I love the passage and the picture is stunning.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Hi Christy...stopped by for a visit and enjoyed reading your posts and seeing the pictures of your family. Thanks for visiting my place...I look forward to getting to know you better...
Be blessed,

What a neat picture of Jesus with the children. So simple yet so elegant and detailed.
Thank you for the scripture. He is my strength.
I didn't really have such an adventurous life. I was just being a kid and quite often we played most of a day without supervision.
Kids get into weird situations because they make bad choices. That was me.
More later
Mmm-Mmm! Reading these scriptures is like sinking my teeth into a slice of warm bread with butter.
Lovely.

I love the picture...thanks for the encouragement....
Lovely picture and words!
I also want to thank you for your comments to my Cory post. This post is probably among the more important ones I have written. Having stormed the heavens together with other intercessors for our nation, I deeply feel the loss of a historical figure like Cory. I still have to find a place and time to express my grief before God.
Selfless leaders like her are sadly missing from our modern day history. She's the only one I know of, and the hundreds of thousands of common people standing in the stormy weather waited for the funeral cortege to pass by...flowers and candles that have been left in front of her residence in Quezon City...all attest to the love the people have for her. Our nation has truly lost a mother who cares and who will fight for us.
It is time to wait upon God to see what He will do next.
Thank you for reading my post, caring, and showing interest.
Love

Amen, Christy...thanks for a great post! Thanks, too, for your kind comment about the vlog.
You asked how I feel about both of my boys leaving for college...it's a mixed bag of emotions for hubby and me. We'll really miss them, of course. Bo will not be too far away, so we'll see him a little more often than his brother. I'll definitely miss their kisses, hugs, and the busyness of their lives.
On the plus side, hubby and I will get to spend some quality time together, I won't have to go to the grocery store as often, and I just might get that perpetual pile of laundry finally caught up! ;-)
Seriously, pray for my hubby, Bill. He went through a difficult time of adjustment when Billy went to college. Now that Bo's going, too, it's going to be awfully quiet around her. Bill has a very close relationship with the boys, so it will be tough.
Thanks!
Blessings,
Beth
WOW! Photo and words blessed my heart!
Thanks for sharing Sis!
I used to have this picture hanging up in my nursery when I had one.
Those are wonderful pictures, love them! Reminds me of my 4 year olds curls.
