Time to Consider

Sometimes we just need to take the time to consider what we have in life. I used to think I needed to work a lot of hours to make a good salary to buy things for myself and my children. Did you get that "things". The only things we need is a place to lay our heads and rest our bodies when we are tired, food to eat when we are weak and hungry, clothing to wear to keep us warm and safe. But the main thing we need is love. Unconditional love. Love we can't lose when we mess up and make horrible mistakes or decisions. Love that gets us through all the good times and the worst times in our lives. Well let me tell you God is Love. He is the essence of Love. Love flows so freely from Him that all we have to do is catch, invite it in, cherish it, and love Him back. He just wants us to love Him and He will give us everything we need, some things we want and anything we desire that gives Him the Glory. You know everything we are and have belongs to Him. He would not want us to go without. I have found out it's only when I am trying to do things myself that I mess us. If I am doing things like He wants, they always turn out. Being selfish gets you no where. Loving and giving gets you everywhere.

I pray everyday for my kids and my family for God to watch over them and guide them through the day. I also pray for those on my prayer list (which grows daily) that God will meet their needs whatever they are for only He knows.

My church family is going through troubled times right now and the first thing they did was gather together in prayer. That's the kind of family I want to be around. Those who know where to go in times of need, who know who to give the glory to....Our Lord and Savior

Your Dreams and Faith

I have found out throughout my life that there is almost nothing you can't do if you really want to do it. You will do whatever it takes to make it happen. I also found out through my faith that there is nothing that is impossible if you do it through God. Let Him guide you and show you how.

He always does a better job of it than I do. If I take something in my own hands and try to do it alone and not ask for God's help, something always goes wrong. I see all the miracles He is still doing today. Some people think it's coincidence or karma or just them doing it but if they really step back and look at the whole picture they will find out there is a reason for everything that happens you just have to step back and look at the whole picture.

I really don't know what I would do without my faith. It gets me through the hard times and I don't feel so alone..Wonder what people do in hard times if they don't know God.... Is that when you hear about suicides, murder and robbery? Maybe they don't have any hope of survival if they don't steal or hurt people. I don't know. I haven't walked in their shoes. Until you walk in someone's shoes or down their path, you can not know what they are going through and why they do the things they do. We must just tell them about our friend Jesus and give them hope in a world full of hurt and grief. There is love out there, but it must begin with us.

Friday's thoughts

There is so much going on in my life right now. I don't know what part I want to concentrate on. I have been trying to get my travel business going for 2 years now and it is moving soooo slow. It makes me feel inadequate so days. Then there is this problem of having to look for another job if the company I work for doesn't get one in my town before this one is finished. I don't want to travel outside of my town every day to go to work.

That leads me to my next problem... my car. It is getting old and starting to have to be repaired a lot. I am looking for a SUV or truck since it seems were are always hauling something. By we, I mean me and my girls. lol. I don't have much money, but I know the Lord will provide or at least keep ole Bessie running.

I am glad I trust in the Lord to provide my needs daily. I don't know what I would do without Him. He is my rock. All He wants us to do if follow his commandments: Love one another as you would want them to love you and put Him first. If we put Him first, then life is good and we don't have to worry, He does all the work and we just follow Him. Kinda like someone clearing the way in a jungle so all you have to do is walk and admire the view. I love my God and I thank Him daily for my blessings. My greatest achievements in life have been where I lead someone to the Lord and having my girls. They have been a blessing to me.

Well, hope everyone has a great day and don't forget to thank the Lord for it. Until next time....

One More Day

Well, I don't know that I'm doing much better on the Dad thing, but the days are going by fast.

I did go to a great movie the other day, " The Proposal". It was hilarious. You have to go see it if you haven't yet.

Seems like each day that goes by I can think of so many things I could be doing. I need to get out there and do them before I get too old to even try. My mom is 65 and she went bungy jumping, rock climbing up a waterfall and a few other things that would make a young heart stop and ponder. Lol. She is great. I love her. I am talking about my stepmom. We didn't always get along when I was a kid. But I really love her and appreciate her now. She has been there for me through all the good and bad times. I would have had a worse time of dealing with my divorce if it hadn't been for her and my dad supporting me. Reminding me I had two kids to love and raise. Telling me everyday that they love me and were there for me. I don't know what anyone would do without a family to support them. I have always had a big family and we all love each other.

There are times when a scuabble (is that how you spell it?) pops up. Most of the time it's when both parties have things going on in their life and don't really pay attention to what is going on there at the time. You should always get both sides of the story before you make a decision.

That reminds me, I was taught a long time ago it's better to get both parties concerned in the same place and talk about the problem. That way they can't tell different stories to make each one look better. It works with kids too. Most of the time they won't tell lies if the person is sitting right there. There are some that don't care but mostly it will work.

Well I guess that's enough for today. I hope you have a great day. God bless you.

A New Start

Well, I thought I would go ahead and start blogging. I didn't want to miss out on the things that are "in the now". lol . My life has been full of ups and downs. I will tell you about some of them on here someday, but for now I want to tell you about how much I missed my Dad on Father's Day.

It's been a long hard road for me since dad passed away. He was my anchor. He would call me every day to see how I was doing after I got my divorce. I really looked forward to talking to him or going by to see him. The first birthday I had after he died was really hard. He always tried to be the first one to call and wish me Happy Birthday and it seemed like I waited all day for his call before it hit me that he wouldn't be calling that year. I tend to just ignore the fact that he's gone and not deal with it. It still hurts too much to think about it. But I have decided that before this year is up I am going to deal with it and go on with my life.

I loved my dad more than I can tell you. He was a good man, not always perfect, but a good man with a kind heart. He loved all of his kids and grandkids so much. All he wanted was for us to be happy and love the Lord and do right. I guess that's what any loving parent wants for their kids.

I know my girls still miss him a lot but they don't talk about it too much with me because I just haven't been able to talk about it. So would you please pray for me and help me get through this time?

Thanks for being a part of my day,
