i wanted to comment on a few posts here said lately and I didn't, arwenbaggins would have my head, I tell ya ! My head :O

Anyway, I pray for all you guys all the time that you just follow Him, who knows what He has in store for you, just go His way, immerse yourself in His things for you. I can't say it enough, choose His things for your life. Not easy .I'm not saying I have, I haven't, a lot of my life, I didn't. But, when I did, and, when I began serving Him and just letting things freeflow His way, by simple things, like reading my bible, a lot, going to church, every service I could wed. sunday morn, eve, and, singles group and a bible study group, to boot, on Thursday, it just was joy. I admit, this time of my life was a total blessing. within one year of crashing my car, and, causing pain to othres, totalling my car, I was with mORE money than I had before the crash ! I WORKED long 16 hour days and I just focused on that, with God in the back of my mind in 1995. Then, in 1996, for one full year, a little over, ALL I did was CHURCH !! Wow!!! What a peace, what ar relief. It was so blessed, culminating with re-commitment to Christ. I pray this is streaming. :)

I drove a uhaul today, getting my warehous cleaned up as I've told you all and today I knew would be 'a day.' It was ! It was 80 degrees and I was tired and trying to unload 3 tons of scrap from the 17-foot truck. It was tough, tough work. And, I just wasn't thinking and didn't put the car in park, and, it began going in reverse. And I had hopped out !! ! I had to hop back in and just hit the brake before it hit a side of a wall, within A FOOT !! Praise God !! :)

Besides that, the Lord led in a great way, I am given the truck with a quarter tank usually and I have to make sure it is a quarter tank when I'm done !! It was at a little over a half tank, which in easy-to-understand terms means that I got a quarter-plus tank of gas free, and, in dollars terms, that's about $40 !! The money is OK, I mean, if this happened three years ago, I could see it as God having provided for me when I was so poor I rivaled a church mouse . But, yeah, just God's hand in MY DAY today was there, I pray He was in yours too. He cares. Give Him your day, with a prayer, try to kneel, then, your day will happen and I GUARANTEE that I don't know exaclty what will happen, I can't say something bad WON'T happen, it could ! But, you will be at peace and understanding of it all. When we pray, things just happen, good things. I pray harder on days when I KNOW my day is going to be a rough one. I wish, on days that were smooth sailing I prayed just as hard. I need to work on that :(

But, yeah, great day, I appreciate your prayers too. My shoulder's a little sore but that's passing, I hope and pray :) , and, just thankful that God IS in my days. That He chose me and I chose His ways, commitment, to my life, as best I can :) He chose you too, show your life is appreciative of that choosing, remember, whatever we do, we should do it ALL for Him :)

Green, I just wanted to tell you that you're such a blessing to us here :)
Admittedly, sometimes your posts are so full of energy that they are a little hard to follow, but when I just slow down myself and take a minute to read carefully, I'm always glad I did.
The Lord certainly does lead :)

Another big day, got to unload that uhaul of its steel and then move around some storage stuff into my warehouse and that's going to be fun, but, with God, all things are possible :) I appreciate your prayers on all this, that near-incident with the uhaul truck door open and me out of it and forgetting to set the thing in 'park' was one second, literally speaking, from disaster. :( Oh, thank you, Lord :)
I admit, I'm not good at doing things I don't do very often and I do have my own 17 foot box van but its diesel and it wouldn't start cuz I haven't drove it forever and so used someone else's . I did pay the extra for insurance for u-haul so door would have been, likely, covered but, yeah, God is good and I am sure glad I didn't have that happen and I hope and pray that God keeps me in care just like yesterday. Another big day of His leading !!! I never know what dumb thing Ima gonna do :D He knows, He is there for me, all the time, this I know, this I see, this I pray you see, too, you all. The Lord leads, indeed :)


I'm thinking of mizzcris right now too, hoping, praying that God blesses her with quality time with her husband in the midst of what sounds like some seriously hectic days a lot of time, which is par for the course, I think, don't have any, but if I did HAVE KIDS, I know, they take you a lot of different ways. mom and dad toted us all over for soccer, track, basketball, baseball growing up. I know, I know, TOUGH! But, I KNOW our God is bigger than any stresses and such we have and giving them to Him--praying, bible-reading, listening to Him, by faith He's given us to use--He will provide. Always does for me. I know, I know, He takes care of me. God is so good to me 1 Peter 5:7 :)

*sigh*

My 2 year old just dropped a fairly heavy wooden toy on my 4 month old's leg in her play pen.

I think he was trying to share with her, and so when she started screaming, it scared him and so HE started screaming and crying, too. So I swoop in, pick up the little baby, sit down on the floor and wrap an arm around my son, too, and try to calm them both down.

Which totally didn't work, because the more one screamed, the more it seemed to freak out the other, so this went on...too long...

Also, it's really hard to get a 2 year old to apologize (he only SORT OF understands the concept at this point, but he still has to do it).

I can see how my day is going to go...

It would be very nice if my Internet at home didn't constantly fight with YouTube. Seriously, I can barely watch anything on YouTube without having to wait five minutes for it to properly buffer. This is 2013 and I live in a civilized part of the world. I should not be having this kind of problem.

I really wish that sometimes I could speak my mind to some of the customers who come through the bank.

If I even had the guts to if I'd be allowed to. I'm pretty non-confrontational. But some of the comments that run through my mind...are probably ones I should give to Christ, anyway.

This is the only poem I'll ever write. I won't put this in the poetry thread because it would be an insult to the good poets in there.

Oh child at the play place please stop your screaming. I know yo Mamma isn't paying attention but the rest of are, you would think she'd feel our Icey stare tension.

I sent my resume to the person who's gonna give it to their boss. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I feel like life's not gonna give me a job that easily. Or if I do, I'm gonna have to give up a youth event I've signed up to go to. Oy vey...

But at the same time...if I get a job, I can save up for whatever. Instruments, traveling, college...that might make up for it later.

WHAT a day! Never thought I would get through it all, but I did and I give God all the glory. Exhausted ,, but, still played with my dog after my day, she is so great, play, play, play, I am to bed, God bless you, all, keep and always talking to God in your conscious stream of thoughts. I know that helps us, He is our friend, His Spirit in us, leading us. Through all the crying, job- thinking, grandma praying for, foot feelings, give it ALL to God, just talK with Him, He DOES want to hear your consternations and thoughts. YOU are His sheep, His sparrow, and, He knows you totally well :)

It's pouring rain out this morning. Rain is very comforting to me. maybe it's the sound. Maybe it's the darkness it usually brings. Today it makes me a little sad as my thoughts are torn between my own current joy & love and the news I heard from a brother & his sadness. My heart goes out to him...my prayer......that God would heal his heart,that all the pain of what he is having to deal with right now,that he would lay it at the feet of Jesus. God does not want you in pain my friend,as nor I.
I have been in situations of great heartbreak & betrayal...rejection. I'm sure we all have to a greater or lesser extent. No matter what we go or are going through at the moment,Jesus has already been there & back again.
I feel I need to post this video again...to encourage,if no one else,but myself. God is our ultimate strength & refuge,and in Him alone we place out trust,for he IS faithful.

Random fact: In order to feel like I'm using my time wisely, I need to have things like a daily schedule and a to-do list. If I don't have those then I get really bored and feel like I'm not doing anything. Plus I actually end up being less productive. So last night I wrote down a list of things I normally do (or want to do) and made a weekly schedule. Yep, that's right. I now have a schedule of things to do for every day of the week! Some of you might think it's bizarre but I think it's glorious. This, this is how I function best.

I would make an excellent bureaucrat.

So what's on my schedule for today?

  • Exercise: in my effort to lose weight I will begin trying to do more of this.
  • Web development: practicing my web programming skills.
  • Creative writing
  • Watch an episode of Firefly
  • Daily Bible reading
  • And an hour of walking, also for weight loss


It's amazing how much you can accomplish in one day if you have a plan.

Preparing to prepare. Why must some things take so much work? Like motivating myself to get to baking those cookies?

Family will be coming out this evening, mostly mine, my little brother and his wife, my parents, my uncle, but also my husband's dad and step-mom and then his grandma from his mom's side of the family. That shouldn't be awkward at all...

But we have a big yard, so I can go hide behind a tree or something if need be. Also, kids. They make for great and timely excuses to run off for a few minutes.

...of course that's not the only wonderful thing about kids.

Ugh, it's yellow jacket season. Yay.

I hate yellow jackets...last month one ended up in our kitchen.

I should probably exercise today...since I can't exactly walk anywhere I want, I'll be doing my exercise bike for 20 minutes.

And I'm so anxious to see what the people are going to think of my resume. As I keep praying....God, if this is the job for me, then save it for me.

Only 9 more days till I go on this mission trip. SO EXCITING!! I can't wait to serve and praise Jesus and witness to people through my actions. :) It's only 5 days long but it's the most amazing 5 days I've experienced. Then if everything goes out planned I'll be going to a church camp right after. So I'll be getting a double dose of Jesus! :)
