The natural Pearl is the most beautiful gemstone in the world. Created in secret and shaped by nature, it begins as an irritant, but emerges as an object of beauty. When we submit to God willingly, all the beauty that He has placed in us will emerge. I blog about my continuous journey to live as God intended, a life of freedom and joy. Learn from my mistakes and be blessed by my victories. I see myself as a Pearl, continually formed by God and emerging for His glory.

Byron cage - Thou art a shield for me
This song has helped me when I felt the world was against me, when I felt like giving up, when I was afraid and didn't know what to do. In, Ps. 3:1-7 David called out to the Lord in his time of despair. David had to remind himself that he belonged to the Lord. The Lord who hears him, sustains him, loves him and who had his back. O Lord, save me! I will lay down and sleep in peace. My trust is in you!

My Solution to Stress
Stress is an interesting thing. It can affect your spirit, soul and body. It can cause you to take your eyes off of God and on yourself. Worry is really self-centered if you think about it. Once you make the decision to focus on the Lord, the things that seem so big, really aren't.
God said that if you do the things He says, you will have peace. So simple! Trust in Him.
Phil. 4:6 - Do not fret or have anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. (Amplified)
Phil. 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:8 - Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue , and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Phil. 4:9 - Those things which you have both learned and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Awesome!
