Today’s Scattered Seeds
When we were moving out of our house last month, we had a beast of a bedroom suite that had to be moved. I swear the wide dresser is about as heavy as a deep freeze, and so when it came to moving this stuff I had my concerns.
Just as the men were coming downstairs, my husband said “You probably don’t want to watch this.”
It was a nail-biting moment for sure, but unlike so many others that have gone before them, these men did it with ease. The difference? With the right shoulder straps, they were well equipped for the job. I could tell they had done this before.
Remember the saying, “God equips those He calls.” I’m sure you’ve heard it many times before, but let the power of those words really sink in. What it’s really saying is this:
For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13, NIV)
Imagine the power you have when God’s on your side. The impossible is always possible when He calls you to act. If He’s called you to it, He will see you through it, and so throughout scripture He says, “Be strong and courageous.”
Like a shield that stands before a warrior, the Lord stands before us.

Darlene Schacht and her husband Michael live in Manitoba Canada where the summers are beautiful and the winters are cold. Together they’ve come to learn that relationships aren’t always easy, but that marriage, the way God intended it to be, is a treasure worth fighting for.
She began her publishing journey about twelve years ago when she pioneered one of the first online magazines for Christian women, known at the time as “Christian Women Online Magazine.” After three years, Darlene left CWO to blog as a solo author at Time-Warp Wife Ministries.
It was also during this transition that she worked alongside actress Candace Cameron Bure to write the NYT Best-Selling book, Reshaping it All: Motivation for Spiritual and Physical Fitness. Reshaping it All was the winner of both the 2011 USA Best Book Awards and the 2012 Christian Reading Retailers Choice Awards.
Author of more than 15 books, Darlene continues to write and to minister to her readers through her blog at TimeWarpWife.com.
