~All The Time!~

Ok so this is my last week of sleeping in, well if you consider 7 sleeping in! To me it will be considering next week it will be starting at 5 ~oh my!~ what was I thinking…LOL! I am not much of a morning person till I have been up for awhile and had MY COFFEE……. I hope my body will adjust!

So things have been really good, along with some changes. We canceled our family vacation, well going to Myrtle Beach. We still plan on a vacation just not sure what we will get into. I was alittle bummed at first, but am really looking forward to what is  in store for Rusty and I. We are letting the kids pick a day of what they would like to do, should be interesting, but will be alot of fun! I am not real sure of all the changes that I am going through, but  I can say this with certainty it feels really good. The scared feeling is leaving and the I feel GREAT has arrived………..

I keep asking myself what else can I be doing, or change. I want to keep on this path of serving the Lord the best way I know how. I have become what I think is a prayer warrior, but still think I could improve in that area as well. I feel I have been speaking up and saying what I feel in serving the Lord, and guess what I don’t care what anyone around me thinks! I am so glad to be part of a spiritual family! I have loving brothers and sisters all around me. I also hope to add some to the list, even if I am unaware of it. I need to set an example! So is God good? ALL THE TIME!!

Prayer!!

You ever feel like God is telling you to go and do? I have had many of these feelings alot lately. I have been on a growing path with the Lord and it is awesome, but sometimes I sit there and say are you sure? I shouldn’t be questioning it, but we do. TRUST is the key!

I love the fact that I am growing, some say I am strong, and I don’t always feel that way, but it is nice to hear! I find we need to feed on the spirit of the Lord everyday “ God is Good.” He tells me everyday what to do, whether we choose his path or follow that of the worlds or man. Sometimes hard to see which is his, but we always seem to know. I always get that feeling. For others it might be different.

I learned last night that it is better to either be in the cold or in the hot with the Lord, instead of being warm. The cold of course meaning not knowing of God and being hot doing the Lord’s work. Warm to me is knowing about God and doing nothing about it. It made me wonder was I ever in the warm?

This I do know, I keep praying! Prayer is just talking to God, and how I do love to talk to God! So if I do things that I have never done before, or thinking what am I doing it’s probably God. If I ask the same questions over and over, probably because I am getting this feeling to do so. I am hoping that all I do is through Gods grace!  “God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him” 1 John 4:16

Going Crazy

Can you say crazy! That is how I feel this week. This will be short and sweet. Baseball season has started and this week we have 6 games, yes 6! On my off night my daughter had piano then a scrimmage for her softball team. Her games will begin to start April 17…oh my! Then what!! Whewwwwwwwww!

To top off the week of craziness, we are trying to sell our house. So in between games and work, I am trying to clean this house. Plus the yard work from the winter. It will not let up and I am overwhelmed at the minute, but I know it will all be good. I did take a day yesterday and spent it with my girlfriends. Had a blast and will need it for the rest of the week.

Good Friday!!

What a beautiful good Friday, and life is good! I have been feeling very blessed. I had surgery on Tuesday and all though it has been a slow healing process, it has been a good one. Can’t say much for my house…..LOL!  My son also started his baseball season this week, it has had some ups and downs, but hopefully it will get better! They had a hit fest last night which was a much needed, beating New Lex 20-1. Way to go boys!!

This weekend I am celebrating with two love’s of my life! First it is Easter weekend , “HE IS RISEN”!!!  God gave his only son for us!!! For “US” I am sitting here just taking that all in, and could you imagine! praying……Second it’s our anniversary it has been 17 years! We have had some ups and downs, but God gave ME my soul mate for life, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Good Friday, Good weekend, I feel it will be a blessed weekend all around. ~I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter!~

Giving it back

Do you ever have those days when you wake up you feel great and everything is going fine? Then you get a phone call and all you can think about is the worst. So that is my day in a nutshell! The best part is I keep giving this up to God, but for some reason it seems to keep coming back…….

I have been sitting around doing absolutely nothing, I have no desire to do a thing, and I need to at least be cleaning! My thoughts, as the day goes by seem to be in slow motion…… Why I am not sure, as I said earlier I feel fine!

Maybe because I can give it all to The Almighty Lord!! Even if I have to do it more than once or twice…… Sometimes I wonder if I face uncertainty? But I know that He will not forsake me. He will watch over me even more tenderly. His everlasting care and love will be with me every hour-every minute! Isn’t that truly awesome to know!

Finding My Place

Woke up this morning to snow on the ground, come on really? The sun is now out and it’s melting, but I am ready for the heat. I am always so cold, and I want to be sweating….LOL. I have been pondering some different things today. I have this book I borrowed  from a friend which is really neat. You don’t read it from front to back, you read it as needed. It deals with all different subjects you might need guidance with that certain moment. It’s called “With God All Things Are Possible.”

Well first I am going to ask for a prayer, my back today is almost unbearable. Not sure what I did different in the last couple of days, but I have to work tonight and I am hoping to get through it. Which brings me to one of my pondering thoughts. My job which I am very glad to have. I am feeling a little bad at the moment, my daughter has a performance tonight and I forgot to ask for it off. Now the reason I feel bad is because I have been requesting time of to watch my son’s baseball. I completely over looked this and apologized to my daughter and she understood, but I am still feeling very guilty.

I just read a chapter in this book. The chapter was called “God has a life work for you.” I always wonder if there is something else I should be doing? I wonder if I should go back to school, try to better myself? Then I read this chapter and alot of it made sense. Am I happy in what I do?  Am I using my talents where be needed? Sometimes I feel I am not, but the one thing I can say I enjoy is, and I even try to do is make someone’s day! I think I was meant to be around people. I think God has given me that talent! If I notice someone is down or having a bad day, I try to put a smile on their face before I leave or they leave, wherever I might be. I could be at work or in a checkout line, but I always have a smile! Even if my day isn’t going so well, I can always seem to find one for a stranger. Weird but true!! So am I at the right job I need to be? God only knows. I believe he will open more doors when needed, and that makes me Smile!!

He Who Gives Me Strength!!

So today is the big day, I am getting some test results back. I feel very confident through Gods grace, but I am human and still have sour gut feeling as well. Last night I was reassured at bible study. I find it amazing how things we study happen at certain times. We were all reminded of it last night. I have always known just sometimes we forget.

“ I can do all things through Christ” was the first thing out of the lesson last night. We all sat there and smiled and looked at each other. I know how that fit just right with the things that I have been dealing with, and I am sure the others did as well. Another passage we read and was “If the Lord brought us to it, he will bring us through it.” That one I thought was very awesome!  Hard, but His strength, love, light and grace will be there! Philippians 4:13 said, I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

We need not to doubt when we put our trust in him. It’s hard sometimes, but God will always be there to lean on!  I am finding that out in my growing and walk with the Lord. Times like the ones I am going through I would have just gone into my own little self pity party, but now I see what comfort God brings in these times of needs. It’s so amazing!
