Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am blessed to be here another day. Thank you for your blessings. My life is not the same without you Lord. You have given me love ahnd hope. I just have to supply the faith. Faith to know that things are going to work themselves out. Faith the do what is not comfortable to reach the goal you have for me. Faith in myself and faith in you. Lord, sometimes I think I know what to do and sometimes I don't. I believe you want me to be closer to him each and evry day. You want me to work at making that happen.Your will be done in my life Lord. I will follow him where ever he tells me to go. I submit my self to him. I don't understand, but I have faith and I do submit my will to his will. If I am leading myself away then stop me right now. Stop it now. I will not go without you. I want to be with you. My will is not the issue here. Its whatever you want. I want what you want. Lord, you have blessed me in so many ways. I thank you for your blessings. I thank you Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am so blessed to be in love with you. Thank you Lord for such a wonderful gift. To be in love with someone and to be loved by that someone. What a blessing. I don't have the baby in my lap today. His father is here also. They are both very doting parents right now. I have seen an outpour of love on this child. Gifts, presents, and love. This is a child that has been prayed for constantly. I pray for my daughter too. I hope she can handle the stress of motherhood. I'm home today and tomorrow to help out. I hope I can stay within my boundaries and not be an overbearing grandmother (nana) I'm Nana, my mother is Grandma.

My 8th grade picnic is this Friday, June 2nd. Then the luncheon is next Friday, June 9th, then graduation is that Monday, June 12th. This has been a very exciting May, I just know that June is not going to be outdone. The 9th is really a busy day. The luncheon first then we go back and decorate the auditorium then its off to the street marching. God is working something here with me. God is blessing me in ways I just havent even imagined. The beauty is this is only the beginning. Glory to God.  Welll, I have managed to disturb no one with my typing. I'm going to go a get the baby now. I love you.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special today.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord, Thank you for your blessings, I am holding the baby and trying to type. What a sight to see. With feeding around the clock, his mommy had a very busy night. God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

I'm going into school today and I will take off tomorrow and Thursday. Friday is the class picnic so I have to be there.

I am so sore from yesterday. I mowed, I trimmed, I raked, I used the push broom, the blower, the hedge trimmer and I still have more in the back to do. I took three tylenol at 5am hoping to feel somewhat better.

Good Morning Sweetheart, I look forward to seeing you tonight. How's your day going so far? I have him in my lap now and the typing keeps him moving. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone who loves you very much.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for your blessings. You have awakened me today to a wonderful day. I am renewed in my love for you . My heart yearns for you Lord. Lord we stand in the gap for people who are lost. We stand in the gap for our soldiers who are not with us today, fighting in countries that they never even knew about. Our families and friends who are now praying for life and safety for our loved ones. Lord on this Memorial Day protect our families. Prserve the mariages and relationships with their families. Lord cause the hearts of the children to turn towards their parents and cause the hearts of the parents to turn towards their children. Provide the support system that is needed to undergird, uplift and edify those left alone to raise children, support families and to just go on by themselves after their loss. Lord we know that these words bring some comfort if they are lifted up in Jesus' name. We cover the families with the blood of Jesus. Lord my immediate family, my church family and my school family all have members of the armed forces off fighting somewhere or preparing to fight. Protect them. Cover them with the blood of Jesus and give those of us remaining behing the wisdom, righteousness and sanctification that Jesus will allow us to have to see our way through these lonely times. Comfort us through the pain and heartache we feel. We love you Lord and we pray that its your name they call upon to be saved. We love you Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Not one word about, well I won't be going to the back of the church, I have a meeting, plane, something else to do more important than coming to the back of the church. Usually you tell us something. I forgive you none the less. Words can't express how happy I was to see you.

In your baby blue too. It was wonderful. Mom and baby are staying at my house the first week or so. Much love to you today. I get to pick the happy family up and then the euphoria will begin to wear off.His family is suppose to bring the car seat and they havent done that yet. They havent even been out to see the baby.I think part of his problem is the family he lived with.

I'm about to go out and mow the lawn this morning. Its suppose to be hot today so I want to get out there early before the heat starts. Be blessedtoday and be a big blessing to someone very special today. With much love and deepest affection.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. God has blessed me with my first grandchild. Isnt he adorable. Father God watch over him, his parents and the rest of his family and friends. It has been a very interesting day. I have spent most of my waking morning trying to figure out how to send the picture from my phone to my email and then how to insert it into my journal. I have finally done that.

God works in very wonderful and mysterious ways. Here I was on Friday, enjoying an evening with some of my church family, they were thoughtful  enough to give what is now officially known as a Granny Shower. They gave gifts for the baby and gave me some wonderful advice about how to handle this young man that my daughter seems to love. I was prepared to go on a week long fast and work on my attitude towards this young man and be able to establish boundaries for myself. But no, God said tonight, you will have to put all this advice and knowledge into play. Tonight, this baby is coming. On my way home at 11pm I get a call from my daughter, I think I am in labor. This prompted me to tell her to call the doctor immediately. When she did and received no answer, I was home. I went to bed around midnight and I was awaken at 3:30am. Lord, I just want to thank you for that nap, because after that I was able to function. I went and picked her up. We went to the hospital. Sure enough they said she was having that baby. At 8:17am Austin Michael joined us in this world. He came out crying. What a blessing. This picture is minutes after his birth, after they have cleaned him up. No one had a camera but we all had our cell phones and they have cameras on them. The baby wasnt due for another week but he decided he would get here early. Five pounds and five ounces. WOW. She will come home on Monday. Then the real excitement begins.

I thank God for all of his blessings. I especially thank you for all that you do to keep me centered and focus. You are very important to me. Your words calm me and center me. I can listen to a tape or the internet and begin to think again about the possibilities. Thank You.

Its a Boy!

God is good all the time and all the time God is good.

The baby came this morning. Labor started last night. I have been at the hospital since 4:45am. I came home around noon and I am on my way back now.

Just a note to let you know I was thinking of you.

God has blessed us with a healthy baby boy. Austin Michael. Mom and baby are doing fine. God bless you today. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning lord. I am awaken with you on my mind. I have faith that you are working things out for my good. My value is more precious than jewels. I am valuable and loved by you Lord. My heart trusts in you confidently and vigorously. I believe in you Lord. I believe you continue to work on me and prepare me for my purpose. I strengthen myself with spiritual, mental and physical fitness. I continue to workout all areas of my life for a closer walk with you Lord. I pray not just for myself but for all the people of the world. Especially my faith community. I pray that my pastor has success in everything he puts his hand to. Strength and dignity surround him and he is a leader in the word and ways of God the Father. He prepares our future skillfully. He protects his community and I am secure in the knowledge that he is working towards our future with Godly wisdom. Lord bless him today and everyday. Let your grace pour out over him. He is a good man and his goal is always to let God be given all the glory. Let love and kindness and wisdom flow from us. I have faith that I am a capable, intelligent and patient woman who can be of great value to him. My works are always to praise you Lord and I seek to give you all the authority in my life. Guide me, direct me and walk with me as I travel down this road.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am working on getting through Friday. The weather is warm and that's going to be a treat. The doctor says the baby could come at anytime now and if it doesnt come by next Friday he is going to induce labor. I will be a grandmother for sure. I pray that I am a good one. Her  young man claims he took the firefighters test yesterday but we dont know for sure. He does like to lie. After his performance about not wanting to get any help and not needing a prep session I dont have much faith that he followed through on the test. I pray that he did though.

I hope you have a good day today. Be blessed and Be a blessing to someone very special. I love you.

Good Morning

 

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for having me on your mind this morning. You woke me up and started me on my way today. My cup runneth over and I am continually thankful and grateful. Lord I continue to abide in your word. I know that you do not bring temptation. Walking in your will and abiding in your word is a daily desire. My time frame is not your time frame. There are many distractions around and I don't want to lose my focus. I want to walk in your word Lord. Guide me today Lord. Keep me in your will today and everyday. Lord you tell me just be a friend. Don't be lustful, just be a friend. Take the little things first and then you can advance to the bigger things. Just be a friend. Be humble and show love to your friend. You are my friend. Sometimes things are not the way they seem. Its more that this but not all that big a deal. Sometimes words just don't say it all. The message is lost in the words.The intent is lessen or diluted. I love you.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Blessings to you today and everyday. You are very special to me. Just be my friend. Think like that and the rest will come easy. End of the year stuff is coming quickly at school. So many things to do and we still have almost three weeks. The girls are coming to school with me today. My students want to meet my daughters. Have a blessedly wonderful day today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today. One person really needs you today.

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for your blessings this morning. You have given me life. I am able to begin another day and I will treasure it as I have the day before. Everyday is a blessing. Lord I pray for your blessings todya. On my school, my church and my home. Anyone that I have business with I pray for spiritual blessings, unmerited favor, grace. Your abundant grace is what I stumble to try to receive. I pray not to cause others to stumble but to bepure, unnerving and blameless in their search for you Lord. Lifting up you in everything we do Lord. Father God I commit myself to you. As I stumble and fumble with things, you continue to determine my progress and my success. Thank you Lord for giving me purpose and strength. I pray that I press forward against any opponents or adversaries with you ahead of me, beside me and behind me. I pray for my church, the members and the pastor. He loves the church and its members. His legacy will always be one of true fellowshipping and activism. He has a good heart and is constantly challenged and strengthen. Bless him in everything he undergoes because he is a man of God and will worship you until the end. No weapon that is formed against him shal prosper and any tongue that cast judgment shall be in the wrong. I pray that you prosper him abundantly Lord, Physically, Spiritually, and Financially.

My Dream Date

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream and his dream came true. Though there is still work to be done. My dream will come true and yes, I too have work to be done.

My dream begins something like this...

I'm driving home with the music off. I have to do this because I have almost run the battery down with my external CD player. I had the car stop on me once, a couple of weeks ago, so I am determined not to have that happen again, hence, I ride without music. In the mornings, I am prayerful. On the ride home, I am thoughtful.

My dream on the ride home today was what if....

What if I decided to attend the movie tonight and tomorrow. Tonight I would go home and ask Lizzie if she wanted to go with me. She would say sure. We would get dressed and leave the house. When we arrived at the museum where the movie is being shown, we would see you. But this time when I see you I tell you about my daughter graduating and I ask you what do you think about what's going on in Darfur. I engage you in conversation. You have people around you and I prepare to leave, but you hold my arm. When you do that I hold your hand. While I am standing there, speechless, you are talking to someone else. How did this happen? What's going on? My mind is racing. Then I say, We should get our seats Liz. Then I ask you, Where are you sitting? You invite us to join you. We of course we say yes. We walk in and we are obivlious to the rest of the people. You do your introductions and then you are on the stage introducing the the film and the film maker. We watch the film together, holding hands. After the film is over you ask if we want to get some ice cream or dessert. After all it's your birthday. Lets celebrate your life. We say yes. You talk to some people again and we wander through the crowd. Because its a dream we dont have to know how we get to where we are going, we just get there. You have some people with you  but really its you and me. Its magical. We're on North Michigan. We're some place beautiful amid  little lights and the night is just a little crisp. We walk arm in arm. We just keep walking and talking. But the evening has to end. We don't want it to end, we don't know how we can go back to being what we were before. We don't even want to imagine being apart, but apart we must be. All good things come to an end. But then its my dream and like all fairy tales, I believe we live happily ever after.

The End.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you....

Happy Birthday to you!!!  Happy Birthday to you!!! Happy Brithday dear Sweetheart, Happy Birthday to you!!!!

Thank God for another year. Let's celebrate your life!

Talk to me. Talk To Me. Lord I need you to talk to me. Talk to me, Talk to me, Talk to me. I need you to talk to me. I need you. That's the first thing necessary for both of us. A conversation. God Bless you today. Have a beautiful day and be safe. God loves you and so do I. I do love you. Talk to me. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. Be blessed by someone today, its your birthday.

Hi

My spirit felt that you were sad. I don't want you to be sad. I had a dream you were at a party and you were sitting at the piano with your head down. now I recognize it as a piaon, before it was just a place off to the side. As I sit here writing I remember that your piano went out on you I bet you had that piano for a long time. Lots of good memories. Now you have to replace it. It was well loved. You were my favorite to play on that piano. Isn't that something how I just thought about that now. I don't know what's going on but I know you have been very busy. You have a lot of concerns to take care of. Remember that love fills you  existence. You are loved by many, especially me. Love comes from God and God wants us to love one another. All things work together for God's love. I know you know that but also know that I love you. Believe that to be true also.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for another wonderful day to worship you and be blessed by you today. Glory and honor are yours Lord. We give you all the glory and all the honor today and everyday. Father God I pray that you will deliver the school systems in my neighborhoods. Thank you, Father for your love. I know that you can deliver us from the strongholds that the devil might have on us now. We bind up the blinding, negative spirit of the antichrist. We bind all the wicked spirits of darkness and the spirits of the occult. We bind all the worldly wisdom that is not truthful and a respector of God. We bind all decietful, thieving and destructive spirits. Lord we come to you looking for our assignment in the world.We pray for deliverance from any stronghold that has kept us bound and captive. Lord we pray that we can be the intercessors that minister the word. The true word of the Lord. We pray that our spirit is true and our minds are on the word. Teach us Lord what to do and what to say. Keep us in your will. Walk with us on our Emaeus road as we are questioning our knowledge, and watching events unfold around us. Renew our minds with the word, restore our faith in the ressurrection and keep us rooted in your word. You are Lord of Lord and King of Kings. There is no one before you.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How's your day? I'm preparing still for the shower and I wish it was over right now. I have had a discussion about the Da Vinci Code. Even though I have not read the book I have heard enough about it. I also went through it when my daughter had it so I know how he makes reference to things being real. My daughter has seen the movie and she says it has raised questions for her. The biggest thing the book and the movie does is to raise the level of women's participation during Christ times. I believe Christ was a virgin and that had there been a wife or child there would have been talk of this much earlier. This is to give doubt on the ressurrection. Without believing the ressurrection, we don't believe Jesus is divine. Our faith is challenged. While still being fiction and acknowledging that it is fiction it intertwines factual objects that we relate to greatness. It interjects new meaning in the objects and wants us to buy into the new meanings, the code. We as believers do not buy into this code and we are challenged to examine the "facts" and make our own conclusion, knowing that anything that does not give God the Glory is false. This also preys on women by trying to lift up their need for status and recognition in the church. Isn't it the ultimate slap in the face for the church, to have a woman be the leader that Christ chose.Women have always had a very personal relationship with Jesus and the fact that it was interpreted this way only reminds us that we do not know all things that God and Jesus are doing. The Lord spent many hours talking to his disciples after the ressurrection and I'm sure there were men and women alike that he spoke to about the prophets and the words relating to his existence. I havent seen the movie. I know you said dont see the movie.I read the Sun Times statement that seem to indicate it was ok to see the movie, but then on Tuesday, you said dont see the movie. I'm letting you lead me on this. I do see how we have opportunities to talk aobut God because of this.

Well, its time to finish the stuff for the shower. Be blessed today. Remember that I love you.

Good MOrning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for your blessings. I have just spent over two hours trying to fix my computer, again. At least this time I had my technician to talk to on the phone. Today I am taking a personal day to prepare for the shower tomorrow. I hadnt planned on spending all of this time working on the computer and its problems. Its just like a baby. If I dont give it some attention, it will act up. I have to pamper it regularly and be very attentive. Like a spoiled child.After much anxiety I am now running faster and minus three dreadful error messages related to my security center. Security Center, what a joke. I am glad I have the service contract. They are now able to access your computer from a remote site, I believe he was in another country too, maybe India. Anyway he fixed the problem and I am operational again. Glory to your name Fther God. My Lord and My Savior. So how's my Sweetheart today? I know you knew I would send a message as soon as possible. I will fight to keep this link, this one link, between us. My Sweetheart. What is your day like today? Are you busy? Are you changing the world, one person at a time? Are you making a difference? Are you feeling loved? I hope, I hope, I hope you are. I have to get busy now. Fruit trays and vegetable trays to do. Have a wonderfully blessed day today and be a true blessing to someone today.

Good Morning Lord. I am thankful for each and every day that you give to me. I give glory to you Lord for your love and peace. I thank you for giving me the ability to love. I thank you for loving me Lord and showing me how to love. Lord I humble my self to your will. I want to glorify you Lord. Your will be done in my life always. Lord you make a new creation in me. Preparing me for a new journey. Lord I am preparing to stand in the gap. To resist the devil and to pray for my family. Lord I pray for unity, harmony and peace.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Everyday is just a little harder to begin. Today we are going to The Sears Tower. We have a law firm that has partnered with our school and we are having our culminating event today. A mock trial, lunch and the observation deck. Its going to be a long day. We dont return to school until 4pm. I know God is in charge of all our activities today and I pray that we remember God is in charge. I just don't want any behaviorial problems. We try to leave the ones who don't know how to act in public at the school. All of my class is going except two, but we have some real characters in the other rooms.

 How's your day?  What's heavy on your heart today? What's running through your mind right now? Stay focused. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I love you very much.

Take extra care today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone very special today.

I year for God's presence in my life. I am rewarded by his presence. My life is incomplete without God. He is Alpha and Omega. Lord you lead me where I need to be. I follow you in all my endeavours.

Good Morning Sweetheart. What a successful evening. The love of my life was in the same room with me. I'm pretty sure I'm not suppose to see the movie now. He has a very attentive family.I do agree with his remarks that the Pope should let you marry. The thought of your love gives me great joy and encouragement. Have a blessed day today and be a true blessing to someone special today.

Good Morning Lord. Thank You  today. I am blessed and highly favored today. I thank you for all that you have done. I am always challenged when I have to read Ezekiel.

May their will be God's will. I give God the glory in all situations. Let God walk before us. Any achievements, beauty and luxury we have , give God the glory for it.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I get to see you today. I get to see my  sweetie today. Today is the day. I'm excited. I have to admit I have not read the book. I have heard a lot of talk about it and I was looking forward to seeing the movie for entertainment purposes alone. Should I go see the movie? Let me know. Well, progress reports are due today. I have to finish mine. I can't believe five more weeks and we are done. Then on to summer workshops, school and professional developments. There also is the fact that I have a new grandson on the way and I am hearing more and more about that everyday. None the less I give God the glory in every situation in my life. Blessings to you this morning. I pray that you have a wonderful day and that all things go exactly the way you have planned and want them to go.  Be blessed and be a true blessing to someone today.

Glory Glory Glory

I'm Back!!!!!!

Oh, what a weekend. There was the good there was the bad and then there was the wonderful.

We did not ahve any problems with him. He left Saturday night and that was good. He didnt get drunk, even though he began taking shots at 11am.

We had so much rain down there. I'm so happy to see that its sunny up here. Friday was rain, rain, rain. Saturday, rain, rain, rain. Sunday, more rain.

Friday we went to a Chinese Buffet. Lizzie's idea. She had an iteneray for us so we just followed along. At the buffet I got a fortune cookie that said "PLUNGE into an PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP". Itsnt that interesting. I thought of you. PLUNGE.

Saturday was the gradfest and I tried to leave the group for a while and listen to the music but they wouldnt let me so I went back to the hotel while they went to the mall. I don't like shopping. Back at the hotel I took a rest, not really a nap. Then his relatives came and he brought them to my room like we were old time friend.

We went to the black congratulatory, no problems and then the grads cooke us dinner back at the apartment. Lasagna, salad and garlic bread. It was good. I was exhausted by then. He left for the train and I went back to the room.

Sunday, the commencement was at 10:30. We were given corsages by my Lizzie. We went for coffe then out to eat at an Italian restaurant. We drove back home and I am back at my computer. I cant wait to see you. I miss you.

I'm tired as all get out. I have been the designated driver all weekend. My dad didnt show today. Her father wasnt here today. Mother's Day and the men in our family couldnt show up. We felt the void but it was a very familiar feeling.

Well, I have to wash some clothes, un pack, and just get ready for tomorrow. I love you.

Good MOrning

Good Morning Lord. You are amazing Lord. Your grace abounds in my life. Lord I give you the glory and the honor in everything in my life. You showed up yesterday and the situations were resolved. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessings to all the people who were an integral part in my day Lord. Thank you for your goodness and the angels you set in my path. Without you Lord, nothing would have been accomplished. Thank you Lord for your blessings. I can't wait to see your glory this weekend and every week in my life. Lord I will not run roughshod over anybody or will I be in a place that you are not in. I will wait on your grace. I will wait until you say go. It may be clear to me what I need to do but I have found out that I must not go without you by my side. In knowing this, I have peace. I will not be anxious. I will wait and go with God.

Good Morning Sweetheart. What a wonderful morning this is. No one is sleeping on my couch. They were all picked up yesterday with a whole lot of drama but I distanced myself from all of that. In the end, one of my mom's friends had a free night stay at one of the hotel's out here and she gave that to us. Wasn't that nice. The ex stepmom and daughter stayed at the hotel and her father and his new wife stayed with my daughter. I am out of the picture. Coming back on Sunday we will have to put up somebody, but I'll take the ex and the daughter. I have a better relationship with them. She always paid the child support on time every month. She continues to send the girls birthday, christmas and any other holiday, cards, gifts and she keeps the relationship going for the sake of her daughter. I told them to get counseling when they said they were breaking up. I know it was for selfish reasons on my part. Keep those child support checks coming was my motive. She paid me like a bill. Every month, on time for seven good years. Of course after that, I rarely saw anything. I still get checks from the state of Idaho for child support, if you can call them that. Its usually a check for 27 cents. It comes about every two or three months. It cost more for them to mail this than the amount of support. I give it to the girls and let spend wildly.

I was so happy to go on the field trip yesterday. We went to a stage production of "Real Men Talking". It was a video/stage production of five men relating their journey in life. I recommend it to every man. Men need to teach men how to be a man, be responsible and still be themselves. It showed the many different types of men and how they were reaching and traveling towards their manhood. It was at Governers State. We had a long ride to get there. It was an hour and a half each way but it was worth it.

I keep going on because this may be the last one for a few days. There seems to be a way to journal through IM and AOLbyPhone but I don't know how to do that and I think I can wait until Sunday. My other daughter does have a lap top, I might be able to use it but we may be busy also. If not, know that I love you and I am thinking of you daily. Be extremely blessed this weekend and believe that there is an us, you and me.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for today. You have given me insight into another day and I praise you and worship you. My heart longs to please you Lord. I know that I have to love myself and take care of myself to be able to love anyone else. I will humble myself to you Lord and continue to seek you daily. I walk with you Lord in my life. You have guided me and directed me to what is right, and what is good. I have new insight into what I need to do. I'm excited about that knowledge. My world view is totally different. Lord I look forward to anything that may come my way this weekend. I have a new revelation. I have a new perspective on an old problem. Life is too short. I don't plan to have anymore delays for my purpose.  I'm excited.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am excited today. I had  a revelation. I know what I need to do about us and I am going to do it. I knew all along and even said it many times. I have to humble myself. I have to let you know that I know you are in the room, in the area, you are around. Acknowledge your presence. I need to get your attention. I need to let you know I notice you. I'm the one who has to step out on faith in that area. It may not make sense but I see it clearly now. Today I am going on a field trip. We leave at 8am so I have to be there earlier today. Today the people come in. No one is staying at my house. Thank God for that.I rented the car. That's my contribution. I don't need to see anybody today. Have a blessed day and be a true blessing to someone today. I just realized I won't have a computer either after I leave. No journal entries until Sunday night. Be strong. Be strong. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank yo for your blessings this morning. You have awaken me to a beautiful day and I rejoice in your glory. Your love warms my heart. Thank you God for loving me. Lord you have blessed me with an angel. I know someone is watching over me and loving me. Lord I wouldnt have someone who cares enough for me me to want to see me happy. Lord I want to walk in your will and keep your commandments. Love the Lord and Love my brother or sister as I love myself.  Lord I do think that some things are unfair and shouldnt  happen to me but if I can show you glory in the situation then that is my desire. One thing is for sure, today is the only thing we have. How we chose to spend that time is left up to us. I don't get one second more to change anything that happened yesterday. Each day I spend seeking a way to get to you. MY GOAL IS TO GET TO YOU. Everyday I think and plan towards that goal.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am so thankful for you. You reach my heart and my mind. My soul longs for God.  You know we are going to be together and it is going to be good. I believe in you more and more each day. Have a blessed day today. I have the left behind children today in the classroom, we have somethings planned to help make them feel better. Then this evening its breastfeeding classes with my daughter. What a day. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for waking me up today. Thank you for your blessings today and everyday. Lord you know my heart. Do not let words come out of my mouth that disgrace you Lord. Don't let me follow the rules with an insincere heart. Let my heart continue to seek you Lord. Lord continue to humble me and allow me to walk in your will. You gave me beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness. Thank you Lord for loving me. I choose to forgive all those who wronged me in any way. I choose to forgive. Lord you will not leave me without the support I need to carry that out. The Lord is my helper. I trust you Lord to help me forgive. Reality may be harsh but the Lord is with me. We walk this walk together. I truly do love the Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. What a beautiful day it is today. God is good and his mercy does endure forever and ever and ever. I have turned my anxieties over to God. There is not anything I can do to create less chaos but to calm down, stay level headed and relax. This is going to happen whether I'm upset or calm so why not be calm.  Today the children leave to go on their trip. I think. Its either this evening or early in the morning. My last day with the really good children. Of course the ones left behind have attitudes, but I'm going to try and have fun and a little work here and there. I would have gone on the trip too but I have my baby's graduation this weekend. That just continues to sound like some soap opera mess. I don't watch the soaps. Too much drama. I have enough drama in my life now. The goal is to reduce the amount of nonsense, unnecessary stuff that I have to deal with. Well, off to the classroom. Have a blessed and wonderul day. Be blessed and be a true blessing to someone special today.

Good Evening Sweetheart

I forgot to say good morning Sweetheart. I was so busy with nonsense. I am on my way to pick up my daughter this evening. I saw you on TV today. Never give up the fight. You fight for people who can't fight for themselves. The children need you. I need you too. Stay focused.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for loving me and caring for me Lord. lord I give you the glory and the honor and the praise. Without you I can do nothing.  Lord there are many things on my mind. I seek you for advise, comfort and direction. Lord you challenge me to walk in faith. Walk in faith when people are deceptive. Walk in faith when things don't go your way. Walk in faith when people don't respond the way you want them to. Walk in faith when others say things to hurt you or make you doubt.

So I believe you are happy when anyone returns who previously left the church, but are you more happy about one person returning? They seem to indicate that you are paying lots of attention to their comings and goings. Lord I am not going around with a negative spirit. I have definitely know that there many women have a crush on this man. I've heard them say it. Some pursueing more desperately than  others. I know that's part of the job, it goes with the territory. But Some want to put themselves in a place and position to make something happen and that's when I begin to take notice.  I know this latest return is an attention getter, now that you have satisfied that need and given the much needed attention, what else is on the agenda? I know this is nonsense, but why am I hearing talk of this?

I'm not going to get into anything else. I am preparing myself for a crazy week. I pray I don't curse out my ex, but the chances are very slim. I want my daughter to be proud of me. I know I can do this and come out unscathed. I kow that the bad spirits have already started putting negativity around me but I will fight with God's help. Lord teach me what I need to know. Lord teach me to love all of your children the saved and the unsaved. Lord I pray that you keep my day safe. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone.

Hello

I'm so glad I have nothing to do tonight. In the morning I have a workshop at the ERC. I bet you are busy tonight. You keep a busy schedule. I was just thinking, this week I will be at church but next week, Mother's Day. I will be in Champaign. I will see you Sunday and Tuesday and then not again until Tuesday. I'm sure I'll be fine. This week is going to be so crazy anyway.

Well, not much to say, hasta la vista baby!!!

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am grateful and humble this morning. You have given me a chance to see another day and I love you for it. Your will is my desire. I want to please you Lord. I know you have something for me to do and I walk boldly towards it, with my arms open. I am ready and willing to take on any challenge you have for me. My faith is in you Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today. Blessed and Highly Favored I'm sure. I have made so many baby shower invitations now. My daughter is ready for her graduation next week. Ex's and hiw wives and children are coming in next week and I'm suppose to host them somehow. My class is coming along like crazy little soldiers. They are smelling the air of graduation and the possibility that they might not graduate has become a reality. Nothing to do tonight but get my grades in the computer. Another early morning meeting at 10am. Have a wonderfully blessed day today and be a true blessing to someone who really needs it today.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. You have given me a wonderful blessing. You have awaken me another day. I am thankful and grateful for all of your blessings. You are my Lord, My God and My Savior. I know that faith without works is dead and I am pressing forward to show works and not just say I have faith. I desire to walk in your word Lord. My goal is to reach a promise you have for me. As a new creation marriage has been on my mind. I know all this week nothing but marriage, creating a couple, how to love and respect your mate have all been things in my spiritual reflection. I haven't spoken about marriage in a long time and my heart and mind just didn't seem to want to come together in that area. But God is saying to me "Do you have faith, do you really have faith..then believe and act on it" Do you believe I know what I'm doing, then follow thorugh with this" "Faith without works is dead".

Good Morning Sweetheart. I didnt see you last night but I heard your voice when I entered. I was uphappy that satan found another child to manipulate into doing something horriblly wrong with a gun. I am glad you continue to speak to the people about turning in the guns, getting them out of the house, and keeping them out of the reach of children. Children find them no matter how safe we think they are.I've decided to get you  a birthday present. Card and a present. I don't know what you said to make me stop giving you presents so I don't think its right to continue not giving you presents. I know you don't want anything and you will probably say don't get me anything but I want to. Be blessed and have a wonderful day. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for today I love you and I cherish you . Our relationship has been rocky but Lord you stuck with me. You never gave up on me and you believe in me.

Thank you Lord for loving me. You have a banner of love just for me. I love you Lord. I will try to keep moving towards you and not away from you. I know its not hopeless. I know that I want to stay in your hedge of protection and rest right in the cleft of your arms. Songs of Solomon show me love. I want to be in love, stay in love and remain in love with you. What a blessing it is to be loved by you.

Good Morning Sweetheart. God has shown me he loves me today. I love it when that happens. I pray for good days ahead. Good or bad, as long as I walk with God I can take what the world hands me.You were a success at the rally, according to my brother.I pray that clarity is brought to the minds of the people who are making the decisions. Have a wonderfully blessed day today and know that God loves you and so do I.

Good Evening

What a day!

The rally went well.

No problems, the crows were great. I am still trying to catch a glimpse of you but I keep seeing some woman talk. WGN or CLTV will have something of you.

I have been trying to prepare for the graduation next week. My daughter is very excited and the "family" she has invited is very disorganized. My ex, his wife, his ex wife and who knows who else are expected in next Thursday. Where they will stay, who will drive them around, I dont know but I am expected to be a part of this crazy world. I can not wait unti this graduation is over. I cant wait until this baby shower is over.I am not very happy about either of these. I am happy about my baby graduating. Just the people that she has invited. When you mentioned the person taking credit for getting her through college and they havent done a thing, thats my ex through and through. I plan to just not get excited about anything and just get through the weekend.  Oh well thats my unimportant, trival complaint for this week. I dont get anymore.  One a week and I actually put bothe in this complaint. When I'm done with both graduations, baby shower and then the birth, I think I will feel better. Take care and have a blessed evening.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank yo for today. I pray for less confusion and more clear precise thinking. Lord I want you int he thought process, the execution and the final compliation. Lord you have blessed me by waking me up. I still have more to do for you today. Lord I pray for the marchers today and the speakers today. Hear their plea and walk with them. Lord reduce the confusion in the air. Let things run smoothly. Let us have peace.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I have spent some time playing/working with this computer. My broadband wasnt responding so I had to turn it off and restart everything. Needless to say all of that is time consuming. I am in a hurry because of the precious lost time trying to get this to work right. I pray that you have a good day today. I pray that the marches are peaceful and effective.

I don't idolize you, have you on a white horse as my knight in shining armor, or think that you can never fail me, dissappoint me or let me down, You are human and you can do all that and more that I haven't even imagined. What I will do Is know that you are not perfect nor am I perfect. When I think of failing you , or disappointing you or even letting you down, I know that my goal/objective is not to do that but sometimes it happens anyway. That's where I pray to my Lord and Savior and ask for forgiveness and a sound mind to continue to walk with you and with Him on the right path. Have a blessed day and know that you are loved very much. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
