Wednesday

Good morning God. Thank you for loving me this morning. I have sent the little one off to preschool, worked on mom's computer, deleted a ton of emails, and now have to go to staples to take her computer there, again. This is suppose to be my break. This is a beautiful day and I plan to enjoy it to the utmost. telephone people coming later. Washing clothes later. Cleaning up my bedroom, later. Lots of stuff to take out of here. But with all that said, I don't want to seem too busy for what's important. Thank God for prayer. I am praying that our children have a safe and uneventful spring break. Our kids have two weeks to stay safe. Lord put a protective covering over our children. We love them and need them to know that. Help us to show our love to them. Tough love if necessary but love none the less.
Be blessed today and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Good Morning

God Bless you this morning. Its a beautiful day and God has allowed us to be a part of this beautiful day. I truly thank you Lord.l I complained about the winter months.

Monday

I have been to Springfield and back today. Three hours each way. My daughter had to renew her professional licensence and because it expired in September, we had to go down there. What a trip. Illinois is nothing but farm land and flat.

Tomorrow I have to go to school for a meeting. What a time to have to meet on my break.

No matter what I wanted to write to you tonight. Even though I feel as if I am talking to myself with this blog, I will write. I have not improved my love of the blog right now but I have the knowledge that you need the blog and that you care about it and that makes me want to do it. If I can please you then I will.

May God bless you tonight and I pray that you can be a blessing to someone. I love you.

A Love Story

When you love someone you want to be with that person and make that person happy. You want to please them and make sure that no harm comes to them. Love is still loving, even when you don't know why. Love is blind. God loves us so much he sent his son to save us. Love is so powerful. Today was so spiritual. So I ask God to renew my fellowship. Restore comfort with his word. Thank You God for loving me. Thank you for loving me. I love you so much. I find myself not feeling foolish for telling my family and friends that I love you. When friends want me to find someone new, I say no, I have a man. I want to be in the open and to be true and honest about my relationship. I don't want to hide it. I want to shout it to the mountaintops. I'm in love, and he's in love with me. Love, it hurts o bad. It makes you wonder how it is all going to turn out. When it will turn around. How long will it be like this. I ask God to give me wisdom. There is goodness out here and there is love and there is happiness. Everything is not depressing and sad. This is not what the rest of my life is going to be like. I will continue until the end of my life believing that goodness is available for me. I am loved and I do love in return. I want what God wants for me. I will follow my heart and go after my dreams. I want what God has for me and I will receive it. Be Blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Life

So I'm sitting here taking a break. He is finally asleep after a bath and playing games with cards and pretending its my birthday over and over again.

Do you remember date night? Friday was our date night. It started before he was even in this world. I used to sit in the family room on the computer and write my entries. Long before my father took over that room. My how things have changed.

Glory be to God. Thank You Jesus. We are officially on break. Thank You Lord.Two weeks. We still have a meeting on Tuesday at school. Have to get grades in by Friday, which will be so much easier since the pressure is off when the kiddies are not around. Thank God for small favors. I have to just be thankful.

I give all the praise and glory to God. What a blessing. With all the cuts and problems out there now, I am just pleased to have a job and to know that if I keep doing what I am supposed to that I might just keep it. Its like everyday they are constantly talking about cuts, cuts, cuts.

I would have liked to have attended one of the events going on tonight at the church. Its just too difficult to bring him out. Though next Friday, I will be there without him.

Well, Be Blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

God's Artwork

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

God you have searched me and you know me. Like a craftsman at his trade, you have buffed and smoothed and plumped me. I am your work of art Lord. I give you my praise and my honor. I am in awe of you. You are the master of my life. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I love you Lord. I know that you do not hate me and that you love me. Lord I pray that you keep me close. Do not let your enemies harm you in any way. I pray that you are always safe from harm, wrapped in God's loving arms.
Psalm 139
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.

21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?

22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

Dont let me fall. Dont let me miss my blessing. I pray to never, ever, ever, be a disappointment to you. I never want you to regret your decision. I want you to need me as I need you. Thank you Lord for your blessings. Thank You Lord for loving me. Thank You Lord for your grace and mercy. I cant do it without you. Lord you woo me and wow me. I cant make it without you. I cant do this without you. Faith is necessary.
Psalm 139
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Be reconciled today. Know that I love you and never want to hurt you, or cause any strife in your life. I want to be a joy, somehow, someway. Speak peace over my life. Let the turmoil end. Be Blessed, and Be a blessing to someone. I love you.

And Still I Rise

I always enjoy an evening with Maya. I can see it is becoming more of a chore for her to get here.

You have to be willing to take risks. Don't run away.

Greed, Need and Judgment

Is it possible to be Jesus' disciple, on his terms, and still be level headed in my pursuit of worldly possessions that are not compromising my value system. I seek Jesus for guidelines and instructions on how to live productively in this creative divine tension of a world. How do I serve God and not man, while still trying to make a living?Put God first. Seek Him first and all other things will be given unto you. Lord I must always put you first in my pursuit of anything. It is not only the rich who have to be concerned with storing up goods, the poor and middle class have to exercise caution too. We have to balance the reality of the situation. We cannot serve two masters. We will love one and despise the other. We are here to do God's will. God will provide for us. God never wanted us to lack.We must balance need with greed. How much is too much? He knows our needs just as he knows the raven and the birds of the air have needs. How we prioritize our needs according to God is important. We must not worry about how we are going to make it. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.


Luke 15:22-26

22And he said to his disciples, (A) "Therefore I tell you,(B) do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24(C) Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them.(D) Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his(E) span of life?[a] 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

Hedge of Protection

Father God in the name of Jesus we place a hedge of protection around our family and friends. Our church family and our biological family. Father God I thank you that you have placed a wall of fire around us. We shall not be burned and we shall not fear. We will not be fearful of anything that comes to us. Lord protect us as we travel through our day today. Lord we make you our refuge and our rock. We give your angels charge over our comings and our goings. Lord you have loved us before we loved ourselves. You have given us reason to love you and ourselves. We are precious in your eyes and you would come back and save even if it were only one of us. We thank you for loving us. We love you with all of our heart and our soul. Our mind and body are working to do your will.

Psalm 91 (New King James Version)

Psalm 91
Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
8 Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”


Be safe today and know that God loves you and so do I. God Bless You today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.

Overcoming Adversity

Father God I come to you humble. I am challenged in every area of my life and I continue to struggle. Thank You Lord for waking me up and giving me another opportunity to get it right. Your word is a lamp unto my feet. I come back to it time and time again. When things look bad, go to the word. When the situation looks hopeless, go to the word. Go to the word before trying all else. Gird yourself up in the word. Allow it to be the shield and sword of your daily life. Even if it doesn't look like anything is changing, rely on the word. Trust in the word. Father God when it seems as if the word has failed, as if it promises one thing and delivers another, we must believe that the word never fails. God is the word and the word was God. God knows my beginning and my end. God will convince and God will convict. I stand only to obey God's authority. God is my conscience to make good choices. No matter what the situation looks like, God is in it and knows the whole side of the story. God knows my heart and loves me. The choices we make help define us with our loved ones. The people we love are the ones we let into our hearts. The ones we are able and willing to share our lives with. The ones who lives we affect. It makes a difference when we are there. God Bless you today. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I will always love you.

My Denial

I am in denial. Not The Nile but DENIAL.
I deny to myself what must be obvious to you. I squirm and turn when you say "hurt people hurt people". I do not want to hurt you. I do not want to be the poster child for hurt people. People who have difficulty trusting other people or not able to have a relationship. Move on. Move on. Move on. This cant be still happening to me. The past is history and don't go over the past. Erase the past. I think that I have moved on but in fact I am still in the same spot because I haven't moved forward. I may not be looking back but I am not looking at my future. What the hell is wrong with me. I can actually have a future with love and happiness and I am choosing stale and nothingness? What is my problem. I must need a real serious head shrink. What can we possibly salvage out of this? What indeed.
