Good NIght

I am frustrated. I still haven't found my key. I have run out of places to look. How could I lose my key. I'm very upset about that. I have to find out how to get another key. I am going to keep asking God to help me find that key.

Have a good night. Be blessed.

Good Morning

Good Mrning Lord. I am grateful and thankful for all that you have done for me. I continue to express awe and amazement in your power and glory. Lord, calm me down. I've lost things around the house and I cant find them. I know they are here because I had them on Friday. Help me to focus and remember. Thank you for your blessing. I do have an alternative. That could have messed up my whole day. But I have to tear up my room and everywhere I think I might have been. Lord I know I came in the house with bags on Friday. I thought I put them down on the counter or hung them up in the usual spot. I never drove my car over the weekend and of course I only have one set of keys. That's been a problem before. I never go copies. I need to do that immediately when I find them now. I don't believe I moved them. Maybe I did. Lord help me to find my keys. Help me to focus on where they are.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Today is not starting off to be a good day. I wish I could remember where I actually put my keys. I believe I did what I always do,  I put them on the hook in the kitchen. I remember going to the kitchen Friday. I'm just gonig to calm down. I'm sure they will show up. Have a blessed day. Its not always about me.Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

I have to step out there one more time

Lord , I don't know what it was but I couldn't stop crying today. Even now tears are running down my face. When this happens I have usually had a revelation. Today's revelation was that After so many failed relationships I have to step out there one more time. I'm not Liz Taylor or the many other women who marry numerous times. One time was more than enough for me. But the reality today wathat I was getting ready to step out there one more time and I hope, I prayed and I trusted God for this to be the last time. God showed me that trust in him. Trust in God. Trust God, not man and whatever happens, God was with me. Trust God. Trust God. I love him. So I step out one more time. I put my heart on the line. I open myself up for hurt, anguish and humility, one more time. But this time God is with me.

I;m so excited about the school supplies. I told someone that I was collecting school supplies and they told me they were helping a single mom to get all the things on her classroom school supply list. I said I wanted to help and now I am getting the clothes for this six year old to begin school. I am excited about that. This is a mother that doesn't even know me and doesn't need to know me, but I will help her with her child's school needs. I love this. It rejuvenated me.

Thank you for today. I say that worship is so important. Worship the Lord.

I have one more week and I am looking forward to it being over. I miss my grandson. It only took two days for me to want to see him again. Actually one day. I wish I had been able to have my hug but everything is not about me. God loves you so be blessed and have a good evening. I love you.

Thinking

I have given cash in my thithe this summer. Everything that I give does not need to have my name on it. God knows what I gave. During the year I will give my thithe from the top, the total amount earned before taxes or anything else is taken out. So when the extended pay comes in the summer I have already paid thithe on the money. I haven't received a check yet for the summer academy, when I do I will pay my thithe. I'm thinking we will get paid on Monday. If not then they say it will be Aug 15th. I'm praying for Monday. I felt I needed to tell you that. Not that you were concerned one way or the other, I just felt I needed to tell you that. OK I'm going to get ready.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. I stay hopeful. I want the whole world to know that you are my Savior, my Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Lord I thank you, I thank you, I thank you. Father God, I know the thoughts and plans you have for me are to prosper me and not to harm me. I will remember that always. I believe that you love me Lord and you are with me. I will praise you and worship you for you are worthy to be praised. You are my rock and my salvation. You keep me strong and healthy.Whatever I bind here on earth is bound in heaven and what ever is loosed here on earth is loosed in heaven. I know that Jerimiah is important, I keep going back to it constantly. It constantly reminds me of the time I saw pastor Tenney at Fellowship church.Why am I remembering that sermon. Jeremiah 33. Some things just seem to demand to an audience. Lord I am praying that today will be a good day.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Today I will be using my brother's car. Leaving a little earlier because of my time constraints. The heat overwhelmed me. My drive is so long without any air. Dn't be mad. Forgive me. I don't want to be lustful about my hugs. I don't want to make a big deal out of it. I am blessed to be in room with you.I listen to you and try to adjust and adhere to God's word. God knows my heart and my mind. I'm not perfect by any stretch of the word. I continue to work on renewing my faith each and every day. I think I will get there early today. I'mn going to be in the house of worship today. Thank you Lord. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today. I love you.

Hi

Hi

I spent the day trying to get comfortable. I didn't go to the movies. I watched Firewall at home.

I got a call that the airline had lost her luggage. What else can happen. Then I get a call they have found it. Can I now be excluded from the baby momma drama for a week, please.

I'm listening to last week's sermon. I feel so bad that the churches are so divided and the unity that we try to create and make real in and out of church is being strained.

Assimilation. Steal their culture and identity. What is it that we becoming. What have we lost? How do we get our own identity? How did abolitionist not become offended when people called them N lovers? How do you not become offended when they say that about you? You have to be able to hold onto your identity. Don't lose yourself in relationships. Don't lose yourself. Don't be a slave. Don't assimilate.

Verse 8- but Daniel resolved not to defile himself. Daniel purposed in himself not to defile himself with eating somebody else's food. Be careful who you eat with. Who you eat and break bread with you open your heart to. Its not unusual that Jesus broke bread. We don't have time to sit down with family but we will make deals at the table. I cannot be bought. Daniel was unwavering in his devotion to God. What you love is what will sway you. We confuse love with lust. We say we love somebody but we really mean we lust after it. Daniel said I am rooted in my faith and I will not give in to the pressures around me. Sometimes the pressures around us make us give in and assimilate to the world.Are you for sale? Unless we are resolved to make up in our mind to obey God we have to resolve to trust and obey God.

Don't give into temptation. Sometimes temptation is so strong we have to remember that God is faithful. God will not tempt you more than you can bear, he will always give you a way out. Sometimes you have a way out but you don't want to get out. There are some things I am going to draw the line on because I want to keep my integrity. I will not be compromised on my convictions. Even if there is pressure to bow down. Its not that your flesh is so powerful its just that your spirit is too weak. We must pledge our allegiance to God first. We must not be prostitutes to the devil.

What kept Daniel strong under pressure? Something he knew and something he did. He knew that God was in control. HE KNEW. Its not about what he does for you that makes him God. He doesn't need to prove himself, he's God. You got to know that you know that you know that God is God. I dont know how hes going to do it but I know that all things are going to work together for them that love him. Daniel was a man of prayer. Daniel never stopped praying. He set time to be with the Lord. He was faithful to the Lord.

I feel so much better after writing this. This is my time with God and I am renewed. God refreshes my soul. Be blessed tonight and sleep well. I love you. Unbossed and unbought. When we have done all we can do stand. It cost to be unbossed and unbought. It will hurt. You will cry. We can agree to disagree and still be friends. Some people pull the race card and when they cant stand on the truth they attack the person. Haters will say things about you. God knows your heart. Decide if you are going to live for Jesus. Take the church thing seriously. Try to do what you believe is right in your heart, you will find that it cost. We assimulate because its easier. I'd rather be alone with Jesus than to be with the crowd that's walking away from Jesus. Renew my first love. Fall so much in love with God that nothing will matter but a love for God. Nothing is going to make you stay in the righteous path except the love for God. Things are pulling at me but I have to take one more step towards Jesus. Lust pulls, and other things pull me, but I have to say no, I am pulling you closer to him. I'm bringing you closer to Jesus. I love Jesus more than anything. More than affirmation, pressure, feeling good. I love Jesus. My heart is hurting but I love you Jesus. I'm scared but I love you Jesus. I love you , I love you, I love you. We love you, we love you. Good Night.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you, thank you , thank you . Thank you Lord for allowing my daughter to leave today. I was so transfixed on her getting on the flight, I think they thought we were having problems. We were selected for the intense security and this was a bit much for me at 5am. Forgive me Lord for my rudeness. I understand they have a job to do and I want them to be thorough. My words this morning are all on abusive situations. How to deal with an abusive family situation, love your enemies. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and finally, if you only love those who love you what credit is that. We need shock absorbers for the world. We are always trying to teach a lesson, make things worse for someone else, seek revenge, get even, but it never resulsts in making us whole again. How do we receive a blow and refuse to pass it on, we must somehow asorb the blow and resist getting even. That's where God's grace, and mercy and love, and forgiveness comes in. Somehow we find healing when we can do that. Help me to do that Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am hoping that you have had a much better night than I did. I didnt get to sleep until after midnight then I had to get up at 3am. But all is done. She is in Denver now making her way to the gate for Boise. I came back home around 6:30 tried to get on the computer but it was fussy, so I just went and took a nap. Now everything is better. What are your plans for today? I was going to see the Pirate movie before noon because its only 5 dollars before noon on Fri, Sat and Sun but I don't know if I'll be up for that now. Staying at home sounds good too. Well I'll let you know what I decide to do. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone very special. I love you.

Aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!

Argh! Isn't that what Charlie Brown said when things went wrong.

First of all she didn't get on the plane.

 She was fifteen minutes late for check in and they wouldn't let her board. They took her luggage though. Its in Boise now.

She waited for a standby at 5:30 but it didn't happen.

They are now at my house. My brother has her keys so she cant even get in her apartment. He was going to give them to me but I wont see him until tomorrow morning.

Now she is on standby for a 6am flight which we have to get to the airport at 4am to place her on the standby list and make sure she is able to get on.

God is so humorous. Here I was so ready to have my week vacation and when I get home I hear that they haven't left yet. I have to go to the airport and pick them up. I was so upset but I figure God had a plan. For what ever reason she was not to be on that plane today.

I miss you.

I love you.

See you in the morning.

I have to get to the airport by 3:30 so I might be late with my entry in the morning. I plan on dropping her off by 4:30 and getting back home ASAP. Just in case know that I love you and miss you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I have nothing but praise for you this morning. My cup runneth over. Thank you for the blessings you have given me. For waking up, being able to start my day refreshed and renewed in my faith in you Lord. Take my mind and my body and make them appropriate for you Lord. Create in me a body that you would approve of. Lord  Touch my heart and create in me a new being. Change me, burn of that which is detestable and unappealing. Change me Lord so that I draw closer and closer to you. Keep me near. Remember me. Love me.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I hope you are well today. I hope you have had a good night's sleep. I hope you accomplish many good things today. I hope, I hope, I hope. I stay hopeful. I believe in you. I look forward to hearing you, seeing you, interacting with you. Be blessed today and be a huge blessing to someone special. I love you.

A Week's Vacation

I am finally home. I have been on the go with mama and the baby since I got home. He had a doctor's appt today. This was his two month check up and his first series of shots. He got four shots today. Poor baby. He was mad. But he took it really well. He cried and we made sure he was fed and his diaper was changed before the shots. We gave him tylenol right after and he is expected to possibly have a fever for the next 24 hrs but he might not. He's going to be on the plane in the afternoon and then he will be in a new place for a whole week. They have been having a heat wave out there since May. Its dry and desert like in places. Not like here where there is more humidity. He might do well out there. I know one thing, I don't have to see them again until next Friday when I pick them up at the airport. I think I have seen him almost every day since he was born. I'm exhausted. I've been working every day and then coming home and taking care of baby. I plan to enjoy this week. Its my mini vacation.

Today was so good. It started out with one of my students getting kicked out. He had a fight on the bus and a fight is automatic out. Plus he was a already on a contract for behavior. We will miss him. Not.

The Field Museum man was really good. We finished right on time for lunch. Then the children go off to their swimming or crafts or soccer. We have a break for an hour and a half on Tues and Thurs. After that we finished our silk screens in the art room. Tomorrow will be sort of easy, we are at the Field Museum all day. Everyone says next week will go by quickly. I hope so. Just knowing that I won't have anything to do in the evening is rewarding enough. Unless you decide to plan something for us to do next week. At least this time I'll be able to do it.

Well I am so tired. We were in the doctor's office for almost two hours. Then we went to Verizon because she has been using my cell phone because her's broke and I don't really use my that much. We were going to get her another phone but I told her she could take mine on the trip. Then we went to Target. Finally the baby had enough. I had to carry him around in Target. She carried him in Verizon. I am sure I will fall asleep quickly tonight. I'm going to try and find out right now. Have a very blessed evening and sleep well. You are very close to my heart and I will think about you with love. Good Night.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for your blessings this day. You are an awesome God. You know the thoughts and desires of my heart. You hear my prayers, you keep me safe. You love me. You love me. I believe in you Lord. I trust you. I love you. Thank you Lord that your word is true.

Good MOrning Sweetheart. How are you today? I pray that God has blessed you tremendously this mroning and sent an angel to give you good tidings. A message of truth and strength. Did you sleep well last night? Do you have a busy day today? Have a blessed day today and remember me. Be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

Hi

Oh my goodness. This baby stuff is just crazy! I feed him, I bathe him, I swing him, I sing to him, I am at his beck and call. He's 8 weeks old and already taking advantage of his Nana. As long as I am holding him he's fine. When I put him down, he cries. I a really looking forward to when he goes to Idaho on Friday. I need a break. I have children in the daytime and children at night. I raised my children. Now I am helping to raise my grandchild. He's a cutie and I love him but he is a handful. OK, my mom has finally taken him off my hands, twenty minutes before Anna returns from work. Twenty minutes is twenty minutes. I'm through complaining about a fussy baby. I love him and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

What a successful day for the council. What a tragic day for some of our city dignitaries. The mayor's wife and the Cardinal. They both have my prayers. How are you doing? I haven't heard anything about you and your health. Are you feeling better? Do you still have the horrible headaches? I hope you are taking time for yourself and going to the doctor regularly. Take care of yourself. Do the best you can. Make every effort to take good care of yourself.

Tomorrow we will have a visitor from the Field Museum. Friday we have a field trip to the museum. Well, I'm off to hide somewhere until his mommy gets here. Have a good evening and be blessed. Think good thought and remember all the dreams and desires you have will come true. No fairy tales here. No happily ever after, just reality. But that can be comforting too. Good Night.

Good MOrning

Good Morning Lord. Today is a blessing from you. I worship you Lord for who you are. Jesus died on the cross and then he rose again to fulfill every scripture about him. We are going to fight against God, we are going to fight against man. Many can't handle the hard truths of God but the truth must be told. God will not allow man to continue to disgrace him. God's plan will continue to form and I pray that I am on the right side of that plan. I ask the Lord to forgive us for our sins. We need guidance and direction.We must stop living in fear that the powerful will desert us. They need us to stay powerful. Big Box will pass. God will make sure of that. Big companies will come and be forced to do the right thing by our people. Stop settling for scraps and crumbs. Hold them accountable for their detestable behavior. Lord help us to stay on the right path and to speak your words at all times.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you this morning? You are going to do so well today. You are fighting the good fight of faith. You walk with God, bringing the righteous along with you. God will bless your endeavors today. I'm excited about what's going to happen. I wrap you up with love, from the top of  your head to the bottom of your feet. Hug yourself, you are loved. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone very special. I love you.

Hello

Hi

This evening is so nice. Today was a good day. We spent most of the day outside. The children love to play soccor.

This Big Box is so necessary. How dare big companies come to our city or any city with a large number of minorities and just pay us any thing. God will not stand for this type of neglect. Its just not going to happen. Why cant people earn a living wage. Truth be told 10 dollars an hour is not going to make anyone rich. But it will allow them to take care of families. The fact that people say this is not a job to take care of  a family but its a job is a statement that clearly lets people know that it is more than just a job it is the job for most people. Jobs are few for many and these companies have the capacity to hire thousands. They can truly turn a community around. This is the chance for them to step up to the plate and make that comtribution to a greater community that we all seek. How wrong is it to really support families and help the poor. This will be a huge battle that God is watching. The results are going to be important. I know you are planning a march tomorrow. I wish I could go but I cant. I will be listening and watching and praying. You will do well. You have the passion needed to care for people. Dont worry about Mitchell's low blow. I wrote a response to her a few months ago when the people from Minn cancelled. She was very rude in her response. It was a very juvenile, I didnt respond. She is a truly bossed and bought columnist. I don't think she has one thought that is her own. She constantly jumps on the negative bandwagon. Well I am going to prepare for tomorrow. I love you and hope that you are well tonight.

Good Morning

The Big Kiss !

Good Morning Lord. You are the God with a sense of humor. You heard my prayer and gave me lift in my heart. Put a smile on my face and let me know that everything's going to be allright. A kiss keeps me humble. Its allright now. This week will go by quickly. Thank you Lord for that. Dont take myself too seriously this week. Know that there are many people who are in worse situations than me.Famine, war and violence are an everyday factor for most.I humble myself before you Lord.Search me Lord and know my heart, know my thoughts, know my intentions and desires. Lead me in the way you want me to go. Keep my sense of humor and not let me take myself too seriously.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Isn't he a cutie?!?! I thought this was just a good way to open up today. I prayed that this week would go by quickly. The best way to do that is to release some of the tension. I'm so excited about the fact that we are on the down side now. It will be a great day today. My daughter and grandson leave this week to go visit her dad in Idaho. They will be gone for a week. I'll be in church by my self. I'll drive my own car so I can stay until the cows come home this Sunday. No set time to leave, so you can keep us as long as you like.  Off to begin another wonderful, glorious day. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

Good Night

Hi

I'm so tired. I had to babysit tonight. He's still here, but his mommy should be here soon.

I'm trying to get into the frame of mind to always have an evening entry. It took me a long time to get the morning entry instilled in my routine. I don't want to lose that. I wonder what God wants me to do. Why does this all matter? Why does He want me to talk to you> Why do you even listen> Does this make any sense? What is our future? These are just questions. At the end of the day, I'm winding down and I have thoughts. What was my day like? Interesting. My drive in the morning is usually an hour and a half. Going towards O'Hare is the worst. Once I pass that then its smooth sailing. Today every child showed up in my class. We were all tired but we made it through. I talked about Wal Mart and the Big Box Issue. We are working on the question of what does it take to build a community? That is our foundation question for the four weeks. We do community activities, discuss how a community communicates, functions, everything. Our class works well together. The drive home was good. Its just the fact that I don't have air and by the time I get home I am hot. I take a mini cooler and keep it in the car until I get back around 2:45. I will bring water, tea and  soda, so that I have a choice. I stopped at the store and got a birthday card. I wrote a check for 50 dollars and gave her the card. God will forgive me having an attitude. Then I started babysitting. That was my evening. Good Night and sweet dreams.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Let justice roll. I've been reading Amos Chapters 5 and 6 this morning. God your word is tough and hard. Your truths are direct and sharp. Your prophets are people willing to tell the hard truth. Injustice anywhere is not to be tolerated. Jeremiah had hard truths to tell to his people. Is it so hard understand that a living wage creates a better society. But then we know that a better society is not what is wanted. They support the rich getting richer (as long as they are part of it) and the poor just keeps swirling around in the same old stuff. A few get out every now and then and when they do they forget what it was like in the muck. I see too many minorities walking away from the poor of their race. I know that often they are thought to be the saviors of the family and that can drain their enthusiasm. Drugs and alcohol were deliberately placed here to keep the poor down. I've been studying the Native Americans and it is stated  that the Spaniards deliberately introduced alcohol to them because that would insure confusion and take away their will to fight. Lord, I know that the opposition is great but it doesn't mean that we just give up. Decades and decades of fighting with very little advancement. It can be done, it is not easy, it is necessary. Lord I'm rambling, this is not coherent, it doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm going to see if I can get another hour of sleep. I've been up since 3:30. I have a long day ahead of me.

Good MOrning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for such a wonderful day. I am blessed to be able to worship, praise and pray to you Lord. The fellowship of the believers is a wonderful event. To be able to come together in the house of the Lord is magnificent.

Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom -Luke 6:38

Glory to your name Lord. This week is going to be a great week. We finally get paid after working for almost two months with out pay.

Lord I just thank you for your goodness. The fact that I have been able to keep going inspite of the deficient funds and I didnt complain (much). I will make through this week too.

Lord I keep many things close to the heart. You know my thoughts, my prayers and my heart felt desires. Thank you Lord for loving me through all of the madness.Being happy and doing your will is my desire daily Lord. Thank you for loving me.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you this wonderful, fine morning? My morning is good. I will have the baby today and I will be in my brother's car. Yes, that means I will be leaving early, but at least I will be there. He has to leave from the house at 3pm to pick up the cab from the garage by 4. I do want to hear you speak if possible. Talk to me. Tell me the truth. Love me. Replinish me the the week ahead.  See you soon My Love.

Saturday, July 22, 2006

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. We have been up since 4 this morning and I have a lot of things on my mind. I'm concerned about my car. That was the cause of my situation in October where I felt betrayed and adulterated. My adulterous situation. I lost my car in that situation and I don't ever want to be in that position again. I know it was my fault, I am not blameless, I just didn't do what I was suppose to do and because someone else wanted compensation I was caught in the middle. Lord help me to get over that. Her birthday is Monday and I am tempted to not do anything nor get her anything. I know that there is nothing that can be done about that situation now and I just have to move on. That's what I want to do. Forget, forgive and move on. Give us this day, our daily bread. What ever we bind here on earth we bind in heaven, whatever is loosed here on earth is loosed in heaven. Loose this thing from me now. I will not carry anymore resentment about that situation.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Yesterday was a full day. Outside for most of the day. Babysitting in the evening. I was whipped. Two weeks to go. What's on the agenda for you today? Busy, busy, busy. Maybe not so busy. Family life. Baby, baby, baby.He is cute as can be but he is also a handful. I will probably see him today. Wash clothes, and get ready for the week to come. Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone special. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for another day. This is Friday and the week is over. Thank you Lord. Lord I need you to send your angel of peace and restore harmony on that bus. I want the parents to get along better than they are. I need my parent mentor to not be upset when she gets to class. Today Lord we are going on our first field trip. Lord let it be uneventful, and fun. Let the children work together and the staff work together. Let the weather be beautiful. Let us be just one big happy today. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers and for answering every now and then. I am grateful. You are worthy to be praised Lord. Everywhere I go, and in everything I do Lord, I am reminded of you.

Good Morning Sweetheart. My day is full. I am hoping for a good day, no rain and not too hot. I want us to be happy and to have a good time. How's your day shaping up? Lots of things to do, people to see. We are having a birthday party in the park today. Two more weeks. Remember that you love me and that I love you. Be happy when you think about that. I love you.

Thursday, July 20, 2006

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for all of your blessings. Please know that I am grateful for everything you do and even the things you dont reveal to me. I walk with an attitude of gratitude. I am blessed and highly favored by the Lord and I dont take that for granted. It is well with my soul. My inner being, my heart, my soul appreciates you.

Good Morning Sweetheart. My day begins with an attitude of gratitude. I take nothing for granted. Not this relationship, not any contact at all with the people in my life. I thank God for everything. I pray that you have a wonderfully blessed day today and that you are blessed and a blessing to someone else. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am renewed in my faith and love for you. My thoughts are of trusting God in all that I do. I am reminded that I don't need to figure everything out. I don't need to know it all, I just need to listen for God's voice in everything I do. Everywhere I go. Listen for God's voice to keep me on track. As it reads in Malachi 2:15-16 You were united to your wife by the Lord. In God's wise plan, when you married, the tow of you became one person in his sight. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. Therefore guard your passions! Keep faith with the wife of your youth. For the Lord, the God of Israel, says he hates divorce and cruel men. There fore control your passions- let there be no divorcing of your wives.

Good Morning Sweetheart. This morning is going to be another beautiful day. Week two is almost over. Two more weeks to go. One of my students from my regular school won a poetry contest that I submitted her work in. She won a back to school shopping spree for $500. I'm so proud of her. Her sister is in this program and she told me about it. I love it when the children do well in the real world. Now she will be able to go to high school equipped with the supplies she needs.What's on your agenda for today? We are going to spend the day working on our art project. We are doing a silk screen and today we are making the design. It'll be good. Have a very blessed day today and be a blessing to someone very special. I love you.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for today. I am energized and enthusiastic about today. This morning's reading was about Job and his answers to his friend. I am a friend of God. I believe that my situation is under God's complete control. I will continue to keep the faith and believe that God loves me. Does God like me? Does God want to want in the cool of the day with me? Does God find me to be a character that projects his image to the world? Am I keeping myself clean and bright? Am I reflecting God's goodness and love? Ultimately am I trusting in God, no matter what. Its not all peaches and cream but am I secure enough to know that God is with me through it all. I pray that I am daily.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today. Take very good care of your self this day. Drink plenty of water. Eat the right kinds of food. Get a little exercise. Take a nap. Take care of your self today. You are very special. If you have a busy day ahead of you, try to find time to relax.You are a beacon of hope in an otherwise drab day. Let your light shine today. Inspire, uplift and rejuvenate. I love you. Have a good day.

HI

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when days are blue. I was thinking about you and it put a smile on my face so I thought I would send something to put a smile on your face. Much love to you tonight. Stay Cool and Remember that I love you. Be Blessed.

Good Morning

 

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for your loving kindness today. This was the reading I was drawn to this morning. Conversion. Turning a devout non believer into a devout believer. Lord I pray that I am knocked off of my high horse. If I am unwilling to believe  that someone is converted help me to believe. Assign me to do your will for them. Keep me always willing to believe in a believer of your word. Lord keep my journey safe and dispatch your angels to protect me and my loved ones today and always.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am excited about our future. A future that I just hoped for and really couldnt see coming to fruition. But it will. I believe it will. I know that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. We are in love. It may not be the way we think it should be, it may not be what we are told it should be but none the less, its love. Today I'm going to remember that I am in love. I love someone and someone loves me.Remember that. I love you. Have a blessed day today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.

Thank You

Praise is what I do when I want to be close to you.

I am so happy that God Almighty stepped in today and just did what was necessary for me to have a full service worship. I was worried about leaving early. I had missed communion last week and thought I was going to miss it this week. Then there was my hug. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Today was great. The Lord loves us and I believe he wanted us to be together today. I shall bless the Lord at all times and his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Its going to be all right. It is going to be all right. God bless you today. Go have some fun. I'm going to wash clothes and prepare for this week. Thank you for loving me. I love you.

God Is Good

God is good all the time and all the time God is good. I have my brother's car. I have to leave early like I did last week but at least I get to attend. Yeah!!!!! I will have the baby, no sign of daddy this morning, he didnt come home last night. But inspite of all that I get to see my love. That is my treasured moment for today. See you soon. I will probably get there early too. Yeah!!!

Good MOrning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for loving me this morning. Thank you for showing me that what ever the decision is for today, you still love me. Lord this role is very challenging for me and I know that it is necessary. I look forward to being with my sweetheart, but I also understand my obligation as a mother and grandmother. The weather is making choices for me this weekend and I am struggling with that. No air conditioning in my car. A small baby. I sit here wondering if my brother will have his car or the cab today. He hasnt made it home yet. If he has his car I can take the baby to church. If not, then I can't. The baby's daddy might be able to keep him, then again, not. I wont know this until later. She only works a few days a week and I said I would keep him while she worked. Then the weather stepped in this weekend. My car is not equipped with a working air conditioner. I think I need to have the freon and stuff checked but, I cant afford that right now.Therefore I have no air conditioning in the car and the baby cant endure long rides in this heat. There are possibilities out there that I might be able to attend, but if not I am preparing myself for the worst. I'm sure you will remember to say something to me this morning. All is not lost yet. Hope still remains. I love you and will keep you updated.

Good MOrning

Good MOrning Lord. I thank you for your creations today. You have awaken me to a wonderful day. Your covenant with day and night has not been broken. You have given the earth many treasures. I thank you for every opportunity to see light today. To be able to enjoy the smallest of things today. I'm feeling cheated because I didnt get to see the one I love yesterday. I know that everything works towards your will. I will accept that and move on. I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU LORD AND I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME TOO. My world didnt shatter because of one missed night. I was looking forward to that night, though. I'm sure it was fun for everyone. Thank you Lord for allowing me to bless those who were in attendance. I pray that the evening was a great success. Today is a brand new day, one that the Lord has made especially for me. I will treasure it and do my best to be renewed and strengthen.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today? I close my eyes and I say your name. I imagine what you might be doing right now. What's your world like right now. Have a blessed day today and remember I love you.

Jazz Night

Date Night

Babysitting

They don't go together, especially on a hot, humid night.

His daddy couldnt see his way clear to babysit, even though he doesnt have a job or anything else to do but hang out with his guys in the city. She has to work, so I step in and babysit. I dont want to bring him out in the heat. If it wasnt so warm and humid maybe. He's only seven weeks old. Dont think I didnt think about bringing him tonight. I was asked not to bring him out though. My mom wont babysit, she says he's too small right now. So its me and him. Its easy for others to say, oh no not me, I cant keep a baby.

Enough complaining. Have a good evening. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for renewing my strength. I am blessed to be able to worship and praise you every morning. Even when I know you are busy with the world problems you are there for me. My life is important to you. I thank you Lord for loving me. You have given me the strength and comfort that I need to know that you are with me both day and night. Your covenant with day and night has not been broken. You keep your promises and restore me to refreshed and new state. Thank you Lord for reminding me that you can do anything but fail. Your will is my desire.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Of course we have rain now but its suppose to blow over and be dry this evening. I hope, I hope, I hope. I may be babysitting this evening if the "baby's daddy" doesn't step up to the plate. My daughter has to work. I had my grandson last night too. I get him again on Sunday. Today I want you to think about the fact that I have not tried to sell the secrets to you strength to your enemies, nor have I tried to offer you any forbidden fruit. I want you to try and find positive things for women. Women are a gift from God. We are a treasure. We are not all out to do evil and hurt men. I love you and I pray that you have a blessed day today.

Good Morning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you for today. I am feeling equipped for a successful day. I put my trust in the Lord. My spirit is renewed and rejuvenated when I trust in the Lord. I dont put my faith in man, I put my faith in the Lord. Your words bring light Father God. Your words are alive and full of power.I thank you for your words. You have given me a spirit of power, and love and a calm mind. I am disciplined and I exercise self control I have your power and ability to find salvation through Christ. I forget things behind me, things of old and I put on a new, and fresh behavior. I reach forward to the things ahead of me. I am patient because I trust in God. I wait for God. I believe in God. His word is truth to my ears. I will not let mercy and truth forsake me. I will find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. I do not seek to please man but to please God. I delight in fulfilling God's will and desire for me. I seek God's peace.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today? Are you equipped for success? Has love gotten you down? Dont be down. Remember the good thing is, you are, in fact, in love, and that's a wonderful thing. Be blessed today and remember I love you.

Good MOrning

Good MOrning Lord. Thank you Lord for another beautiful day. Every day is beautiful with Jesus my Savior in it. Its mid week Lord and I'm dragging. My days are long and I am exhausted at the end of them. I couldnt get to sleep last night and I tossed and turned until 1am.Lord I think I'm getting restless. I'm definitely counting down the days. I prayed for my fellow church member yesterday all the way to school. She and I rarely see each other out here and it was a treat to have an opportunity to talk. I pray for her mother whom she was on her way to visit. Lord sometimes we seem so busy and challenged with all of our concerns. Do we take on too much? Do we give the illusion that we can handle it all? When we come face to face with our mistakes and behavior are we able to discern the good and the bad? Do we change? Can we change?

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today? Excited about Friday? I am. What's on the agenda for you this week? Help me to listen and to develop a good relationship with you. Talk to me. I want to be the positive woman in the bible. The one that is good and a blessing from God. Help me to be that woman. I love you and want nothing but the best for you. Have a blessed day and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am grateful for today. I thank you for all that you do in my life and for all of the blessings that I receive everyday. From the littlest thing to the greatest thing, I thank you Lord. Lord my questions to you are many. I understand some and I don't others. I understand that women are means of attack that the devil and demons chose to hurt good men. I don't understand why. I understand that Jesus came to give us a new message and to for us to not be of the world even though we are in the world. I need to know how to do this better. How to pray better, how to be a better servant of God in this world. I understand that I need to watch out for those that cause division and put obstacles in my path but when they come anyway what do I do? Keep me focused  Lord. Keep them away from me so that people who are not serving our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but working towards their own appetites, I am not deceived by them. I am a conqueoror. By the smooth talking and flattery they will deceive the minds of naive people. Be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. Keep me strong and wise to be an overcomer.

Good Morning Sweetheart. How are you today? I hope you have had your meds. I think I understand more of what you were saying on Sunday. You know I wish the attacks would just go away and leave me alone but I am still here and still writing, so my strength is renewed everyday. Summer Academy is fine and I excited about the group of children that I have. They are seventh graders going into eighth grade. We are pushing college awareness early. There is a good mix too. I have children from Colombia, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Chicago.Diversity is the key.I'm looking forward to Friday. I get to see you again. Maybe this time I'll actually have an opportunity to talk to you. Maybe I'll get that elusive hug. Just maybe. Have a blessed day and be a blessing to someone very special today. I love you.

Monday, July 10, 2006

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for loving me. You love me when I don't love myself. When I am confused. When I am insecure. You love me no matter what. I must not let myself forget that you love me. It's really a big thing to be loved by someon whose able to surpass all knowledge and intellect. Who has things for me that are richer and fuller than I can ever imagine. Love like that renovates my heart. It make me want to be better. When I think about God being my daily bread. This is the air I breathe. I am desperate for you. I am lost without you. I love that song. It emcompasses God in every fiber and being of my life. My heart, my mind and my soul. God is my strength.

I love you and even though I dont understand everything I know the waiting is for me and I am renewed and restored. I love you and I will keep on loving you.

The Presence of God

God is good and I love him so. I am listening to today's service and its seems to have you looping or doing something where there is a delayand a double recording playing at the same time. I'm hoping it will go away. The devil is a liar and I pray that it will improve.Break the curse and interupt the bloodline. I had to listen to this again because I was hearing a message that I thought you were tempted by another woman. You were feeling tempted by me. I struggle with that because it has a bad connotation for me. It make me seem seducing and that's not my intention. I want there to be an us. God created me to love him, that is my first purpose. I love the Lord. I will continue to love him. I choose to love the Lord and I choose to love you. I guess if you have another woman that has turned your head and you are now in conflict, I don't want you to have pain because of me. If you have found someone else then by all means darling do what is best for you. Then again I may be all wrong. Maybe its me and you are saying there were options and you chose me. Free will to choose. I don't want you to chose me over your church, God or anything else important in your life. Yea though he slay me I shall worship him. I will bless God in the noon time, night time and morning time. Everyday I will praise God. Everyday I will get up telling God that I love him. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind with all the drama in my life but I love God. My heart is with God. I struggle everyday to be in tune with God. My body, is my expression of love. I chose God over the option of hate, sorrow and anger. Walking with God creates conflict. Lord I have so much conflict in my life right now.

I have been watching one of my favorite movies, The Mirror has Two Faces. I love this movie.Two middle age educators get an opportunity to find love. But there is conflict. Talk to me. Talk to me. Love me.

I have to finish listening to the service from today. I love you and pray for you daily. Never will a day go by that I don't look for a way to communicate with you. Be blessed and have a good night.

Good Morning

Good  Morning Lord. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. I was thinking about not coming to church today for a variety of very good reasons but God just gave me something to allievate all those reasons. I will be there and I will be on time. I must leave by 2:00 though. I get the feeling I won't be getting a hug today. I can't remember the last time I had a hug. Even though things may not look like I want them to I will rejoice in the Lord. I will be joyful in God who is my Savior. The Lord is my strength. I serve you Lord with a glad heart and a joyful spirit. I am willing and obedient. Whatever you call me to do, you will equip me with all that I need to accomplish it. I am where you want me to be.

Saturday, July 8, 2006

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Perserverance is my goal for this week. I thank you for all of your blessings. I thank you for showing me ways that I may have been arrogant. I thank you for loving me Lord. I believe that God is good and the light that must shine through each of us. If our whole body is full of light and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you (Luke 11:36) Father God I pray for light that will not darken. Keep me full of light. Keep me full of hope. I want my eyes to see good and my heart to know good. I do not want to worry or be concerned about my life. I want to trust God for my life. I know that God's plan for my life is much better than I could ever imagine.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I hope you are feeling well and that you are being productive. Actually you don't have to be to productive today. Take it easy and rest. You have been very productive this week I would imagine. Continue to be rich towards God and fight the good fight of faith. I have no plans for today. Have a good day. Be blessed and know that I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am walking in faith today. I wonder, have we grown closer or are we growing apart? Lord sometimes I just have an illusion of togetherness. Sometimes I have the belief and the faith that you are with me and you shall never leave me. I either believe that what this gospel says is truth or I am spending a lot of time on something I don’t believe in. Its one thing to believe and another to believe and trust in it. Faith has me constantly returning like a lost child. Happy and grateful to be in your arms. Faith will keep me always searching for your love Lord. You called me beautiful and you have unconditional love for me. I have favor and grace. I am your beloved. Your security is what I seek. I long for your love Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Thank God its Friday. I went to the website and saw there was not going to be a march. Then something made me go back to the site again and wow, now there is going to be a march. I will not be there. I have committed myself to babysitting. Nothing glamorous, just necessary for her to go to work. I know you will do well. This is a message that can never be overstressed. It must continue as long as people are being hurt, we must speak our and let them know we want our neighborhood back. Its hard to love our neighbor and our enemies. This is the tough love Jesus came to teach us. For many its hard to love and its hard to be loved. Both are a struggle. But we have the power to change people into friends and loving neighbors. Love your neighbor as you love your self. Have a blessed day today and be a blessing to someone. I love you sweetheart. Be blessed.

Good Morning

encouragement

Good Morning Lord.Thank you Lord for another day. I am blessed to able to write in this journal and to communicate with others. Thank you for your saving grace. Lord you keep me safe and sound, even when I don't know what you are doing, when I don't understand, you keep me safe. Bless my pastor today. Keep him safe and sound. Do not let any harm come to him. Let him be welcome where ever he goes and let nothing but goodness and trust be with him. He is a good man and he is loved by many. Let no weapon formed against him prosper. Lord let my day be a  good day. This is my first trip to the campus and Lord I pray that it is uneventful and an easy ride going and coming home. Let today be a good day.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Its a beautiful day outside and I am looking forward to today.Its suppose to be hot. I'll just have to deal with that. You are blessed and you will do well topday. I'm sure you have a plan and you are working that plan. I put my trust in you and in your plan. Have a beautiful day and be blessed. I love you.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. I am on the run but I had to stop and say good morning. Thank you for today Lord. Last night was busy and chaotic. There is so much going on right now Lord, I just need you to keep watch, take hold and don't let go. Family is so demanding.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am back to work today. The next four and a half weeks I will be up early and back late. Make sure that you remember that I love you today. Have a blessed day and be a blessing to someone special.

Tuesday, July 4, 2006

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Thank you for today and thank you for your blessings. I am grateful for everything that I have today. Lord I pray that the lost shall be found. I pray that your word and influence will be heard in our lives. Lord I pray that when you tell us to do something that we do it. Let us go where we don't want to go and and do the things we don't want to do if it means we are doing your will and following your word. Lord  I am struggling. I don't know what to day and if I should say anything. I love him Lord so guide me on what to say and do. What do you want me to do. Help me to do it Lord.  I want the truth Lord. Challenge me. Let's wrestle with this. Let's find a way to make this better. I don't want to stop until a solution is found.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Yes I love you and yes I am wrestling with something. Here it is. You have the ear of people who make decisions. Why, when you are invited to speak to them do you decline? I understand that you may not be able to change their minds, influence their thoughts, and even make a difference in their lives, but you make a difference in our lives. The gap between the haves and the have nots has widen. I'm not asked to a prayer breakfast nor do I want to be. But you, you have been chosen to walk a tight rope and be a servant and errand boy for God. How many of his prophets have said no to an invitation to the ruling king. Speak God's word to those who make the decisions about others. The reality is 6% of the population rule the other 94%. Take the opportunity to speak for those who don't have the ear of the mover and shakers in our world. That was just gnawing at me and now its done.

I love you and I believe in your cause, your fight and I stand by your decisions. I do have to question some things every now and then. Be lbessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Good Morning

 

Good Morning Lord. I thank you for such a wonderful day today. I am blessed to be able to give thanks one more day. My sight is here, my health is here and my mind is clear. Lord that gives me a sense of security. Security that only comes from trusting in you. Trusting in you Lord requires me to have faith. Faith is something that I have to decide on and follow. It comes down to two things; either I believe this gospel is true and I trust in God or I am spending a lot of time in anxiety and worry, saying one thing and doing another. Either I believe God’s word is true or I doubt. I know for me I have to believe that I believe. I have to believe in faith because the thought of loving my neighbor as I love myself is impossible. To love someone with my whole heart and my whole mind and my whole soul. To really love them. This kind of love requires the Holy Spirit to step in because I can’t do it. I need the courage to take a risk and step out in love and mean it when I do it. Love takes courage. It takes courage to take the leap of faith in the ultimate risk, loving one another. How are we going to educate our youth if we cant get teachers and administrator to care for them enough to want them to learn. Parents who will be there for the students when school starts and when it ends. We can’t change anything if people don’t care enough to love it. If you have no passion for the endeavor then it is easily lost and forgotten. I fight for love. I believe in love and I must say it sounds idealistic and unobtainable but Jesus Christ assures me that it is attainable. Little steps. Baby steps, slowly and determined, we reach a goal. This deepens the relationship and allows for commitment and attachment. We have to care and want to see something better.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Good sermon yesterday. Speak the truth and speak it loud and clear. God loves you and so do I. You have the ears of people who make decisions about our daily lives. Be thoughtful and consider the people hardest hit. I like the idea of not buying gas for a week but then how do I get to work to keep my job? We don’t have the cooperative groups like we did before. We need a common cause and education and poverty are always strong causes to rally around. We have to care about someone else’s future. Have a blessed day today. Be encouraged and renewed. Know that you are loved very much. We are on a slowand steady path to success.

Good Morning

Good Morning Father God. I thank you for waking me up today. This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank you Lord for protecting me through the night and thank you for your loving kindness this morning. Lord protect my faith community and protect all the people in the community. Place a hedge of protection over everyone that calls themselves members. Lord stand firm with us and unite us in your purpose. Keep us single minded in faith and keep us striving to hear your Gospel. Let your glory shine through all of us. Lord let your glory manifest in us and be recognized that we are children of God. Father God let our pastor have keen insight and continue to develop and extend and deepen our knowledge of your love more and more each day. I pray that our hearts are sincere and that we can distinguish the highest and best of everything with a moral difference that Jesus Christ would certainly use. I commit myself to you Lord and I am certain that in staying by your side that I am conducting myself in a manner that is pleasing and worthy to you Lord Jesus.

Good Morning Sweetheart. Another week has gone by and I am again preparing to go to the house of the Lord. We are on a slow and steady path and that is rewarding. Be blessed today and know that you are loved very much.

Good Morning

Good Morning Lord. Lord you said not to worry about anything but to pray and ask you for everything I need. Lord I give thanks to you when I pray and I ask that your peace will keep my heart and mind on Jesus Christ. The peace you give me surpasses all other peace. Lord thank you for keeping my mind quiet and at peace. Lord the peace you give me allows me to be an overcomer. I submit my self to you Lord. By submitting my control to you I am learning about self control. I trust you Lord. I thank you for teaching me how to trust you Lord. Father God I ask for wisdom to help me handle new stressors in my life. Help me to stay focused on my purpose and to be what you want me to be Lord.

Good Morning Sweetheart. I am praying that you have a very stress free day today. No worries or concerns that overwhelm you. I pray that you have a wonderful day at the blessed event. Joining tow people in marriage is always a loving moment. I haven’t been to a wedding in a long time and I won’t be at this one either. I pray for God’s blessing on the bride and groom. What a beautiful day to have a wedding. I will be spending the day with my daughter and grandson. My other daughter came home yesterday also. Today is the first day of work for the little mom. I will be babysitting again. I believe my summer will consist of a lot of babysitting. I made the choice to say yes so I am not complaining. I’m looking forward to enjoying him now while he’s little. I imagine he will be a handful when he is older. My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Have a very blessed day.
