love and faithfulness

Proverbs 3:3

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

My Lord, My Lord, I am in such distress. I have been given my notice. I didnt loate the necessary pieces to this puzzle, this maze of BS, and now I am working on a deadline. i have worked for ten years at this lousy company and have continued to be at the same address, i never hid anything. I have an endorsement that was needed. I received a waiver, or so I thought, now I aam told move or lose your job. Do it in 60 days. I truly hate, no, socially dislike n distrust with the most emphasis on distrust this organization. But i believe it is for the good of me. I have gone through a challenge with this job from day one. Never felt comfortable, never enjoyed going to work This is the push I need to do something else. I will establish residency with my cousin's house though. I have a couple of good leads to a job I think I will enjoy. I need to take advantage of this opportunity to move forward and not backward. My time is short. No body wants to deal with an old lady, when they can get a younger person for less money. This would be the perfect time for me to just say, Michael, let's get married and start our new life together.That sounds pretty good actually. Let me think about that cliff walk. No guts, no glory.      

Faith

Thank you God for everything. I prayed for something, anything, because I feel like I have been through the wringer. The service was good. The sermon was goog. I have been under the weather, what does that really mean, who thought of that saying. I guess it's softer than saying I have been sick. I just want to feel better. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you. What a treat to see you walk out this morning. I didn't know you were going to be there. I m glad I decided to go this morning. I love you, I love you, I love you. You inspire me to not give up. I will try again. I will succeed. I love you and don't want to throw that away.

Shields of Faith

Hosea 2:19-20
I will betroth you to me forever;
I will betroth you in righteousness and justice,
in love and compassion.
I will betroth you in faithfulness,
and you will acknowledge the Lord.

Glory to God each and every day. Thank you Lord for today. I am grateful for every day that the Lord allows me to have here on Earth. The disasters that plague our society are many. Lord forgive us for the many acts of just pure evil to one another. How we are so careless with our thoughts and our actions. Show compassion for your people. How we can just destroy one another with such abandonment is beyond comprehension. Violence is prevalent in our society. Lord forgive us for our sins. Today I am praying that I will have a good day. I want to finish early and return to see my grand baby. Then I will be at the block party. I am excited to possibly see you. I pray that you will be there. I know you are not going to be at church so I have to have this opportunity. I love you and can't wait to see you. Have a blessed day today.

Confidence

Act 1:7-8
He said to them: It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses…

Father God thank you for today. I am blessed to find myself here another day. This has been a challenging week but today is hump day. I'm feeling like I'm back at work this week. Training myself to tech differently might give me a better attitude at school. I like the museum as a training site because we are able to explore exhibits during lunch. Its all very expensive this week though. Parking, 20 dollars a day. Lunch, anywhere from 5 to 20 dollars. The gas money, and to top it all off we don't get paid. Five days a week, all day long. Now I have gotten my gripe out. We are learning invaluable stuff and I'm glad about that. Sometimes the pay is the knowledge and insight that you receive to become a better person, right. Congratulations to you. You received an award. Thank God for the recognition. You have given so much of yourself to your work. You are an example for me to remember that all is not about the money. Though economic recovery is necessary for success. It is rewarding to know that others are taking note of your accomplishments. You have done so much for that community and I know you have so much more that you would like to do. You are a diamond in the rough. When you set your mind to it, you will accomplish it. Thank God for you. Your confidence is a blessing. Thank God we have you as an example of confidence and courage. I will be reassured that there is hope for us. I love you.

Unity

John 17:9-11

I pray for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name-the name you gave me-so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.

Father God I pray for Unity. Thank you for your blessing. I am here yet again. I love you Lord and pray for your love and protection. Lord protect us on our journey. I missed him yesterday and it looks like I will miss him next week as well. I pray that you protect him and keep him safe. I love him.i don't want anything to happen to him. I look forward to the day he returns and I can see him and talk to him again. God watch over us today and always. Keep unity in our hearts and our minds. Keep watch over the roads as I travel this week. God Bless every endeavor that you are on this week. Keep my family safe and out of trouble. Keep a watchful eye out for any problems and dispatch your angels to protect us. Keep my love safe Lord. I don't know where you are, which is another reason for unity and togetherness, but I pray that you are safe. I love you.

Partnership

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work;

If one falls down, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together they will keep warm.

But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Father God I stand in awe of you. I am looking to change my life. I want to embrace a better attitude about my vow to you. I want the words to come out of my mouth so that I am in relationship with you on a much deeper level. You influence every aspect of my life. If I can remove the negative attitude that I struggle with I would. Lord I want to please you and not grieve you. Your contentment. Your faith and hope in me is important to me. Believing that I am your child and your are my God. Lord you can see when I have foolish behavior and you know why I do what I do. Help me Lord to do your will. Lord I want to be challenged towards my interdependence in you. My dependance on you is what I want to enhance. You are my Rock. My Strong Tower. I walk by faith and not by sight. Lord when you look at our world, please see something worth saving. Don't give up on us yet. We may need a strong hand to turn this around, but Lord have faith that we will do what is needed to reach our people. We love you and can't do it without your guidance and strength. We may need the hand of the national guard to get their attention that this is not their shooting range. We are not in the Wild West. We don't want them forever, but we need a drastic change now to get their attention that we are in charge. The good, faithful, law abiding citizens do have power. Right now, we are showing that we are powerless. What attitude should we embrace Lord? We love you so much. We can't do this without you. I love you so much. I will see you this evening. I will look forward to that. I will count down the hours until then my love.

Children

My Love, my love. Dear Lord what can we do about our children. I have one who has managed to stay out of trouble. Graduate from college. Get a decent job that she likes. Marry a pretty decent upstanding young man. Start a family. She'll be here next week with her family for ten days. Then there's the other one. Not quite able to make it through college, but she did manage to get a license to do hair. String of not so good boyfriends, one she managed to move in with, get pregnant and then he racks up a ton of bills that she is still responsible for eight years later. Not to mention raising a child on her own without any support whatsoever. Then the most recent boyfriend. He works and is part owner of the shop that she works out of. They have been dating for three years now and he's an alcoholic. Been to jail for six months because of seventeen, yes 17, DUI . Now he has put his hands on her. He's in jail now trying to bond himself out. Wants sympathy, I told her no way. If she allows it to happen then he will continue and it will escalate. She has the worse luck with men. I told her to take a break and take care of herself and her child. I pray that I don't have to kill that boy. I don't have patience for that kind of mess. Lord I hope he goes to rehab, but if not he is still not welcome in this house. I am not going to live with that drama. When do we truly have our children gone and on their own responsibly? One seems to be doing ok. The other, just can't quite get it together. She's always so close. She's back in school now, but of course it's harder. God please send your angels of wisdom to guide her through this horrible time. Let her not make poor decisions.

I spent yesterday at the hospital with my dad. Then the evening and early morning with this drama. You always have such good advice. I'm going to do what I need to do. I missed you yesterday. I wanted to see you. It's comforting for me. I love you and pray that your day is better. Be Blessed and read your part of the minutes.
