“U-Turns”
One of our families met one of Flower Mound’s finest after they pulled out of the church parking lot Sunday morning. The officer advised our driver to be careful and not impede traffic to do a u-turn on such a busy roadway. And, since you are all probably wondering, they were issued a warning, not a citation. So, take care, we don’t want to lose anyone to an accident or have to deal with a citation. Let’s accept our officer’s advice and turn around at the light. Oh, as long as I’m writing about u-turns. Repentance is a word in the Bible, it basically means “U-Turn.” It means to go from traveling away from God and turning back to God. In fact, it’s in the first instruction in God’s spiritual driver’s handbook.

Finally getting around to posting the Bible verses that have given strength and focus to Shirley. Here they are:
Jeremiah 29:11-12, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.”
Micah 6:8, “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
Proverbs 3:5-8, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
Great verses, worthy of study and meditation.
