“Throw It to Jesus”

(March 24, 1997)
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you” (I Pet. 5:7).

Familiar scripture isn’t it? Well, I never thought about what the word “cast” meant. Cast means to throw—like casting a line and hook out across a body of water to catch a fish. You can’t just give the line to the body of water. You have to throw that hook and line (called casting) far out into the water. Sometimes we have to cast our faith out to God to show Him that we may be trusted to do His will.

One instance I was thinking about happened shortly after the Lord had blessed me with the retail store that I had desired. I had done everything I thought God had instructed me to do in obtaining the store and getting it started. So, when I thought that I was finished, I passed the ball back to the Lord (I envisioned being in a basketball game with God. I would get the ball, score a basket and then it was turned over to God for Him to do His thing). Well, I again visualized God passing the ball back to me, but I didn’t want the ball. I had already scored my point and thought I wouldn’t get the ball back until God scored His point. However, the ball kept finding its way back to my side of the court. (What I didn’t realize is that God was telling me that this was my game, played by my rules, and God was letting me finish the game without Him because it was not His plan!).

What did God want of me now? Customers were not beating a path to my doorstep, so - I had time on my hands, and, as a result, my prayer time was increased. I started on my second book, gathering thoughts from above (the first book wasn’t published yet). Bills were accumulating, yet they were being paid before the final “nasty-gram” arrived. My husband was supporting the business, working three jobs, and doing volunteer work. I hadn’t seen a paycheck since I left my last position. I wanted to pay my tithes (10% to God’s kingdom), and give more to those who were in need, but I wasn’t able to get blood from any turnip, and, in addition, I could hardly pay the rent for the building.

I didn’t want the ball! I almost didn’t want to play anymore…

"You May be Down, But You're Never Defeated"

Just as a fruit tree is heavy, when laden with fruit; so too are our lives sometimes heavy with problems. We sometimes bend under the pressures and strains that life brings us. We get depressed. We lack self-confidence. We don't trust people. We say that we can't take it anymore. We need a solution to our dilemma.

When things like this happen to us it's good to know that someone else has gone through the same or similar situations as you have; and that they have made it through. You too should be able to identify with this book and make it through life's journeys. You are not alone. You can make it with confidence. You can move you mountain that have help you back. You can be an over-comer through Christ Jesus, the deliverer of all our problems. Learn how to stand tall like the majestic French Maritime Evergreen Pine trees (pictured on the cover) that sway in the midst of any storm. "Bent But Not Broken" will help you to enjoy what God has for you despite what the circumstances may look like. "You will bend, but you won't bread." It's like the old toy commercial, "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down". We may be tossed to and fro in the wind, but with our feet firmly planted in Him; we won't fall down.

We are not to add to not take away from God's Word, yet I do believe that He helps us today with inspiring words of wisdom from others. Those things that are written in this book are some of those inspired words; some of which are very funny. As you conclude this book, my prayer to God is for "Bent But Not broken" to have eased some of you time through your 'valley'- don't fear. Be Blessed In Order To Be A Bigger Blessing.
