I recognize the fact that some people live in circumstances that are very difficult. When you study My Word, you will see how My disciples faced many horrific situations. My friend Paul learned the secret to enjoying life when it sometimes seemed unbearable. When he wrote the church at Philippi, he exhorted them to rejoice in every circumstance and every trial. My brother James encouraged the church in Jerusalem that was facing great persecution to rejoice in the midst of trials.
I never want you to be pulled down by circumstances or fearful about situations that you may face in the future. The key to a life of joy is simply this: Keep your focus on Me - who I am and what I have done for you. Set your affections on the things above, not the things on this earth. Thank Me for everything and in everything. When you do this, you will look forward to every day. Fear and dread will have to take a back seat to trust and faith in Me. When you have an attitude of gratitude in spite of what you are going through right now, you will not be weighed down by the cares of this world.
JAMES 1:2-3; PHILIPPIANS 4:4

SOMMER FAMILY BLESSING
Welcome to the blog for Linda Sommer.
My Blog will cover three subjects:
WORD FROM THE LORD, FAMILY, and MINISTRY.
WORD FROM THE LORD
Every day I spend time with the Lord in the morning and He speaks to my heart words that are encouraging, exhorting and sometimes rebuking.
At first, I felt not to share these words with others, but then I realized I am just one of His followers. There are many people who need a word daily from the Lord, but they do not have the time to seek Him. This is why I decided to share the words I received from time to time. The messages are in first person as the the Lord relayed them to my spirtual ears.
FAMILY
We have three sons and nine grandchildren. There is something new happening all the time in the Sommer family. I will post some of these events of interest.
MINISTRY
Tom and I have traveled the world. To find out more about our ministry you may consult our webpage -

I will keep you updated on future speaking enagements and ministry developments.
