My life is changing so much right now. My business is thriving (and feeding my workaholism unfortunately). :) My son is moving back to TN into the home his father grew up in to run the family's business (happy for him, but he will take my heart with him). There is someone very special in my life. All good things, but overwhelming at times. :)

God don't let me lose sight of You in all of this. Anything good in my life is totally because of You and You alone. <3

I don't make sense, this is not unknown, for I want to make sense though to but One and He who is in me will make that clear to YOU. :) The Lord leads. My words I do not want to be my own but His, He who lives in me, and, so, I pray you all hear my words, and, not just my words, but ALL the words that others say to you on c.c. with His Love filtering through them all, taking out the bad, keeping the good, refining anything dross that keeps you from understanding His plan for your life, your understanding His plan is good for you, that His plan is there for you, His plan can be taken by you, seize it !

Seize it how, green? By being humble, by not being a hero, by being remarkably sublime in manner, caring to put your care in Him, discovering your goals and successes and 'drama' of your life is beNt on His things for you, that your life is all one great glorifying, passing story of His for soooo many to see, or, just two or three. Whatever, just be His . :)

------------------------------------

I'm going to play with my dog. I'm hoping , praying I can make good decisions for my business stuff. It's all around me now, in great quantities, and, I am just wanting it to minimize so that I can more easily see Him. But, that is up to Him, I want to BE Christ's valentine EVERY day of my life. Your life ;) So, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee His, and, if you got time, go to the music thread and see what song I post there, you will beeeeeeeeeelieve differently in YOUR life after listening, IF you are stuck in some sort of unbelief (not in God) of YOUR self in, yep, you got it, YOUR LIFE :)

I am seeing more & more of the goodness & faithfulness of God with each passing day in my life. When all seems hopeless and I feel I am stretched beyond myself,I know there is nothing in me that I can depend upon.Nothing but Jesus. Nothing but his Holy Spirit. I feel like I am finally letting go of somethings I have kept as "mine"...this is "my" situation,or "my" unbelief,or "my" sadness. I feel God is doing something in me,but I have no words to express it. I have never felt more in tune with the sufferings of other's than I have as of late...I never hesitate to pray anymore...my mind is constantly pushing other's needs ahead of my own. It's as though I have begun coming to the end of me. This is a good thing. Even though sometimes it's a bit scary feeling so open,having your heart right out there. As imperfect as I feel,as I know I am...I am comforted. God uses so many things to show Himself to us..every second of every day. I find when I just open my eyes & my heart,then suddenly like a rush it all comes in & it's like wow...He's truly in all things!

You make sense just fine, if people read your posts and not just skim through :)

I had a weird experience at Trader Joe's today.

I always hit the sample booth because....well, that's just what you do. They had their turkey burgers (boring) topped with their mango ginger chutney. I mentioned to the sample lady that I used the chutney with their soyaki and a lil' bit o' hot sauce for a great salmon marinade.

I then overheard the lady give this tip out to other shoppers who stopped by her booth. Then I heard elsewhere in the store some other shoppers sharing this same particular tip. It made me realize how powerful word of mouth can be.

It also made me realize that I would totally rock it as the sample guy at Trader Joe's.

Sometimes I can't believe the sheer awesomeness of our God. I am quite stressed at work currently and I don't even realize how it affects me in some ways. Got a simple text message from someone very special, and listened to a song and was filled with an incredible sense of "everything will be fine". It brought tears to my eyes in a good way. :')

CatHerder sounded so sophisticated (if that's the right word. Is it? Not sure. Help a tired teenager out and let me know if I could have used a better word. lol) right there. lol

And I'm worn out tonight...'bout time. It's 11:13 p.m. Anywayss....I should sleep. I need to sleep. I'm tired. So why not?

My mind will probably race, overthink everything there is to overthink, then I'll fall asleep. Sounds like a plan.

(Don't mind me, I don't make much sense when I'm tired.)

June 12 devotional
From the devotional book
"Jesus Calling"

Let Me help you get through this day. There are Many possible paths to travel between your getting up in the morning and your lying down at night . Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of My presence . You will get through this day one way or another . One way is to Moab and groan , stumbling along with shuffling feet . This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with Me along the path of Peace , leaning on Me as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in My strength . Thank Me for each problem you encounter , and watch to see how I transform the trials into blessings .

1 Corinthians 10:10
And do not grumble , as some of them did - and were killed by the destroying angel.

Luke 1:79
To shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death , to guide our feet into the path of peace ..

So...my mother-in-law will be arriving tomorrow sometime. And the house is currently kind of really disasterized, not so much with dirt and grime, but lots of stuff out of place and plenty of laundry that needs washed (wait, I have two tiny kids, of COURSE laundry needs to be done...ALL. THE. TIME). The guest room probably needs cleaned. I don't know for sure, since it's in the basement and I only ever go down stairs to do laundry, and that's on the OTHER side of the basement from the guest room that isn't really much of a guest room.

Man, I need to re-paint that room.

Okay, see, ^^^ that is why I forget about important things like when people will be showing up at my house. I start thinking about it, and what needs to be done before they get here, and my brain starts making all these other connections from necessary stuff to NOT necessary stuff, and it's always, ALWAYS, the NOT necessary stuff that I end up wanting to do first, thereby leaving myself precious little time to oh, say, wash the sheets on the guest bed.

This sort of thinking is also what led to me painting wheels for a week instead of pulling weeds out of the garden.

There's a party decoration hanging from my ceiling above the kitchen counter. It's just a black star attached to the end of a black swirly-do-thingy. It's been there since my husband's birthday last July.

I totally hate my dysfunctional brain right now.

I reeeeally need to get my head and my house under control.

It's like 85 degrees in my bedroom. I hate summer.

Ah well, time to work. Despite being a temporary worker, they're sure giving me a good amount of hours.

I wish I could sit down with Jesus and have Him explain to me why some of us seem to be held to a higher level of accountability than other Christians by those very same Christians. From what I have been reading in scripture today, He experienced the same kind of hypocrisy. Praying that He shows me how He dealt with it so I can do the same. I think He is beginning to already. Thank You, Lord.

Ask and you shall receive, huh? :)

Me: FINALLY. Springtime. The snow is melting, ice is breaking up, life is good!
Alaska: MUAHAHAHA jokes on you, here's a few full-blown snow storms!
Me: I hate you, with a fiery burning passion deep within my soul.

(June)
Alaska: Okay I'm really sorry. Here's some sunshine and 80 degree weather.
Me: ...fine. I forgive you. <3
