Good Morning

Good Morning

Thank you Lord for today. You have given me strength and a discerning spirit. Thank you for the grace and mercy that you have granted us today. Lord grant us your traveling mercies as we travel to the places and destinations today to make things right. Lord protect us and allow all plans of satan to go foul in our lives.

I guess the Lord knew I would need this time off to do these things. We have a busy schedule. the courts were closed yesterday so we have to go today first thing in the morning. The police were called out again to her job because he was constantly calling. This is very draining on the whole family. She's drained and felling like its her fault somehow. If only she had done this or that. I want to be supportive but I also want her to know that everyone told her not to get hooked up with this guy. Not just her family but her friends also. I want her to live and learn from her mistakes. I'm not badgering her with I told you so...but I do want her to know she could have avoided some of this drama. Its a fine line to walk. Speaking ethically and using words such as honor, truth, respect, and trust in the relationship allows you to think about how you interact with others. 

Well my day will consist of traveling to court, traveling back. Washing my clothes, finishing my grading and progress reports and the final culmination, bible study. What's on the agenda for you today? I hope that you are successful in all of your endeavours. I look forward to seeing you tonight as well as wanting to hear the word of the Lord. Be blessed and be a true blessing to someone today.

Good Morning

Good Morning

Thank you Lord for another day. I praise your name continually Lord. I begin my day worshipping You Lord. Father god I look to you to keep me and my family safe from satan's destructive forces. Father God place a hedge of protection around us and follow us where ever we go. Renew our minds and our thoughts so that we trust and obey you Lord.

My day will consist of getting an order of protection and moving things out of my daughter's apartment. We think we might have someone who will sublease the apartment. We are going to knock off 100.00 so they will be able to move in for November and if they want to move in sooner they can have the rest of the month of October for free. I look to the Lord for strength to complete the tasks at hand. The boyfriend shouldn't be out until Tuesday but I want things in place before he's out. One good thing is she wants to attend bible study with me on Tuesday. Praise the Lord. I'm late, please forgive me. I kept hitting the snooze button this morning. My thoughts and prayers go with you this morning and say a little prayer for me and my daughter that we are successful today in our mission.

Listening to God

I listened to God today and I probably saved my daughter's life. When I left church today I had decided to stop by her job and get a haircut. I was going to take her out to dinner and have a talk about whats going on with her. When I got there she was in the back. When I asked for her she came out and when she saw it was me she came running. She had been crying and she was upset. It seems her boyfriend had come up to her job and pushed her around and hit her in the stomach. I was furious. I called the police and they came up to the store. The boyfriend also came back up to the store. They arrested him right there and he was taken to jail. He had the nerve to beg me not to do this. I had no sympathy for him. We went to her apartment and got some things for her to have for a week. She also needed to go to the local medical center. We just got back from that. She is thinking of terminating. Needless to say I have had one heck of an afternoon and evening. Tomorrow we have to go to get an order of protection so he won't go to her job, home or my home.  If I hadn't gone to the shop today she probably would have just gone home to him and his stuff again. She said this isn't the first time he's hit her. Why she couldn't listen to me and every friend she ever had. We continued to tell her he's not the one. No job, no car, still living at home and momma is trying to put him out every other week. This is not your dream guy. Well, he's in jail until Tuesday for sure, then the drama will begin again once he's out. I hate being right about stuff like this. Anyway she's back home and she says its like a big black cloud has been lifted.

Good Morning

Good Morning and God Bless you this morning. I thank God for waking me up this morning. My Spirit awakened me very early this morning and I have been praying for the past hour. Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest is Love. Love is patient, kind, never rude and never counts all of the wrongdoings. I had asked the question what do I bring to the table. I felt like I was receiving more than I was bringing but God reminded me about Love and the interdependence that was needed. Love is what I bring. Love is what is needed. Love is the greatest. Trust in Love. God's love for us allows Him to show us compassion, mercy and grant us grace. God forgives us because He loves us. He loves us unconditionally. Love is what I bring to the table. I see that now. I Love The LORD. HE HEARD MY CRY.

Be Blessed and have a peaceful morning.

Hi

Today I realized that so much goes on and I know nothing about it. I didnt know about the student dying this week. I am so sorry to hear that. It must have been difficult for you. Here I am going on about trivial things and you have some real concerns and problems in your life.  I don't watch the news everyday and I don't read the paper everyday so I miss quite a lot on the going ons in the community. With all of the things you have to manage, the buildings, the organizations, the people its remarkable that you have done such a good job. You are a great influence on people and you are an important factor in many peoples lives. Where do you find the time for me? How was I able to slip in on such a busy life? I hardly know anything about what goes on, I don't talk to many people, I don't have large amounts of money to donate or have donors who can donate large amounts of money. What can I possibly bring to the table? What do I have for you? Where do I fit in? Is it possible for me to bring you happiness and peace of mind? Can I possibly be a comfort to you? I keep the faith and continue to say yes. I'm sorry you have had such a tragic week. I pray that you are able to guide and give strength to yourself and others.

Good Morning

Good Morning

Its nice to wake up in the grace and glory of God. Thank you Lord for waking me up today and starting me on a brand new day. Glory to you Lord. Glory and honor to you Lord. I worship you Father God for all you have done and all you plan to do. I have faith in you Father God. Even though I don't see it, I believe it, because you will and word are true. Father God you are the author and finisher of my life.

I walk with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ today. In for the meeting this morning and then the afternoon is mine. I do have to wash, go to the cleaners and maybe a little grocery shopping. I don't have to buy for anyone but me. Shopping for one. I don't go to the grocery store and buy big amounts like I used to with the children. I guess I should think about what its going to be like being a granny. I have to think of what I want to be called. I think I like Nana or Granny. I think I'm rushing things, the baby isn't here yet. I pray that my child is a good parent and this relationship she's in is successful. Well I need to stop now, time is ticking away.

Date Night

Hello

I decided not to go tonight. I have progress reports to do. I already left the city and I don't want to go back in that traffic. I'm happy the day is over. It wasnt too bad for me today. I don't have a headache, so that's good.

Today wasnt too bad. We had a graduation meeting this morning. I can't believe how bad their playground is. I shouldn't say playground, it's just concrete with old broken, unusable stuff. It's disappointing. They want to take the students to Washington D.C. for their graduation trip. Last year they went to Detroit and Canada. I said I would chaparone. I have never been to D.C. I have friends there also. They plan to do alot of fundraising for the trip. We are trying to decide on whether its bus or plane. I opted for plane, the bus would be so long but I said I would go either way.

I am off until Wednesday. I'm looking forward to my mini vacation.

So how was your day today? What was on the agenda? Did you get something done that you really needed to do? Are you happy today? Are you in any pain? Do you feel any better or is it just the same? What are you doing tonight?

Well enough questions. Have a good evening. I love you.
