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.
