| HEY EVERYONE!!! SO SORRY I HAVE NOT POSTED ANYTHING LATELY. IT TRULY TOUCHED MY HEART TO GET SO MANY AWESOME MESSAGES. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! OKAY SO WE HAD A YARD SALE THE OTHER WEEK AND THIS PRECIOUS LADY CAME UP AND BOUGHT SOME WORK OUT EQUIPMENT, YOU KNOW ONE OF THE ONES COVERED IN DUST. ANYWAY IT APPPEARED AS IF SHE WAS LIVING IN HER CAR. IT MADE ME WANT TO CRY. AND WE STARTED TO TALK AND SHE TOLD ME SOME PRETTY INTENSE THINGS GOING ON IN HER LIFE AND I WILL SHARE ONE OF THOSE WITH YOU. HER HUSBAND JUST GOT SENT TO PRISON FOR MURDER AND SHE FELT ALL ALONE. I TOLD HER ABOUT SAUL IN THE BIBLE AND HOW HE HAD MURDERED AND YET AS HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND ASKED FOR HELP HE BECAME PAUL A DEVOTED SERVANT OF THE LORD AND EVEN WROTE ONE THIRD OF THE BIBLE. SHE BEGAN TO CRY AND TO TELL ME SOME OTHER THINGS AND I TOLD HER THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT SHE OR ANYONE HAS DONE THAT CAN NOT BE FORGIVEN BY PRECIOUS FATHER. SO WE PRAYED AND SHE ACCEPTED THE LORD INTO HER HEART. WE WERE BOTH CRYING. SHE SAID WHO WOULDVE THOUGHT THAT A WHITE WOMAN WOULD CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO A BLACK WOMEN. WE LAUGHED AND I TOLD HER THAT MY GOD IS COLORED BLIND. LOL. HE CARES FOR OUR HEARTS AND THAT SHE IS MY SISTER. SO I RAN INTO THE HOUSE AND FOUND A CHRISTIAN CD AND A BOOK ON BEING THE WOMEN GOD CREATED US TO BE . WELL ANYWAY I GOT A MESSAGE ON MY CELL YESTERDAY AND SHE WAS CRYING AND SAID THAT EVERYTHING IN HER LIFE IS TURNING AROUND. SHE LISTENS TO THE CD CONSTANTLY AND HAS JUST FINISHED THE BOOK AND IS GIVING IT TO ANOTHER FRIEND. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND THERE WERE A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT THAT YARD SALE BUT FOR NOW I REALLY NEED YOU GUYS TO LIFT THIS SISTER UP IN PRAYERS. ISNT SHE WONDERFUL?! ILL EMAIL MORE LATER. LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALL OF MY HEART. GO BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE TODAY. SPEAK A KIND WORD. PEACE OUT. | | |
| I HAVE SPOKEN TO A PERSON RECENTLY WHO WAS EXPERIENCING A TIME WHEN THEY FELT DISTANT FROM GOD LIKE HE WAS SO FAR AWAY THAT THEY FELT THAT THE JOY OF HIS PRESENCE WAS LOST TO THEM SOMEHOW. IT REMINDED ME INSTANTLY OF THE FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND STORY....I AM SURE THEY PROPABLY EXPECTED THAT I SURELY HAD NEVER BEEN THROUGH SUCH A TRIAL MYSELF. BUT THE TRUTH IS SURE I FELT THAT IN MY WALK WITH MY LORD AND IF EVERYONE WOULD SPEAK FREELY I AM CERTAIN EACH PERSON HAS TO WALK THROUGH THAT AT SOME POINT IN THEIR WALK. AND ALTHOUGH THAT WAS MOST CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF MY MOST TREASURED EXPERIENCE, THERE IS INDEED A BLESSING TO HAVE WALKED THROUGH AND BEYOND THAT TRIAL SO THAT HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THIS PRECIOUS PERSON. THIS CAN BE A TOPIC THAT FOR SOME REASON SOME WOULD RATHER NOT DISCUSS, LET ALONE ADMIT ,"HEY MAN BEEN THERE." THIS IS WHAT I FOUND FOR ME.. IT MAY SEEM LIKE A SIMPLE STATEMENT. BUT WHEN EXPERIENCING THIS, WHEN NEED NOT PRETEND THAT WE ARE NOT GOING THROUGH IT AT ALL. WHEN TIMES THAT ARE NOT SO GRAND IN OUR WALK THIS IS THE TIME TO BE SO THANKFUL FOR THE YEARS WE HAVE SPENT IN THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS TEACHINGS! WHEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SEEMS DEVOID OF JOY AND EXCITEMENT, WE HAVE TO WALK IN THE GUT LEVEL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THAT WE HAVE STUDIED. THUS BRINGING THE SCRIPTURE OF NOT JUST BEING A HEARER BUT A DOER OF THE WORD. AFTER ALL IT IS THERE THAT WE FIND ASSURANCE THAT HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US. IT COULD MEAN THAT GOD FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO US HAS HAS CHOSEN TO BE SILENT FOR AWHILE. AND HIS SILENCE IS NOT THE KIND OF SILENCE WE EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD.QUITE THE CONTRARY IN FACT, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE HAS SHUT US OUT BECAUSE HE HAS MORE IMPORTANT THINGS OR PEOPLE TO CARE FOR THAT MOMENT. YOU SEE, GOD NEVER CHANGES, AND HIS PROMISE ARE NOT MADE NULL AND VOID. HE HAS NOT ASKED OR SOUGHT AN ANNULMENT OR DIVORCE FROM HIS BRIDE. EVEN IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL, FOR HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF 2 TIMOTHY 2:13... SO WRAP YOURSELF IN THE COZY WARM BLANKET OF FAITH, STEP INTO HIS WORD, READ HIS WORD ALOUD, AND CLING TO HIM. GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON US FOR SOMEONE OR ANYTHING ELSE. WE ARE PERFECT IN HIS EYES,HE WOULD NOT ABANDON THE VERY ONE THAT HE CREATED AND BREATHED LIFE INTO. WE ARE THE WORKS OF HIS OWN HANDS. "HE BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL PERFECT IT UNTIL THE DAY OF CHRIST JESUS. (PHIL 1:6) NOW THAT'S SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT!!!!!!!!!! HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME!!!!!YIPPEEEEEE!!! | | |

I LOVE THESE TWO WITH ALL OF MY HEART. I FEEL REALLY HONORED TO BE A PART OF THEIR LIFE. GOD REALLY LOVES ME!!!!LOL!!!!ROBERT CALLED ME LAST NIGHT AND I WAS SOOOO EXCITED BUT I HAVE TO SAY I FELT LIKE CRYING...BEDTIME IS YUCKY WHEN YOU ARE SO USED TO YOUR HUSBAND BEING THERE WITH YA. BUT I AM ALSO SO THANKFUL THAT I CAN CALL HIM MY HUSBAND. I LOVE HIS HEART. HE IS SOOOO EXCITED TO BE THERE FOR THOSE LIL GUYS AT OUR CHURCH. I'M NOT SURE WHO WAS THE MOST EXCITED THE KIDS OR HIM. BUT THEY ARE SURELY GETTING AN AWESOME TREAT TO HAVE HIM THERE WITH THEM. WE WERE LAUGHING ON THE PHONE ABOUT HOW AWESOME IT IS THAT WE BOTH LOVE KIDS SOOO MUCH. IT'S LIKE WE WOULD RATHER BE WATCHING A CARTOON WITH THE KIDS AND THROWING DOWN ON POPCORN AND CANDY WITH THEM THEN WATCHING AN ADULT SHOW OR SOMETHING.LOL. SOME PEOPLE JUST NEVER GROW UP!!!!!LOL!!!! | | |
| HEY EVERYONE!!! OKAY SO THE TITLE IS A BIT MISLEADING. WHAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID WAS THAT I WOULD LOVE TO BE CHILLING. ACTUALLY IM KNEE DEEP IN HOUSE WORK AND LAUNDRY. IM TRYING TO GET EVERYONE READY FOR CAMP AND I AM TRYING TO GET THINGS TOGETHER TO HAVE A YARD SALE. WHEW...AND NOT TO MENTION TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S FOR DINNER. LOL. I KNOW IT SOUNDS A BIT STRESSFUL OR MAYBE JUST WAY BUSY...BUT THIS MORNING AS I WAS MAKING MY DAILY TO DO LIST (THAT I MIGHT SAY, I USUALLY DO NOT HAVE TIME IN ONE DAY TO FINISH) I STARTED TO WRITE DOWN GOALS FOR THE DAY TO ACHIEVE AND BOY OH BOY I THOUGHT I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO NEED AN EXTRA COFFEE.LOL. SERIOUSLY THOUGH I STARTED TO FEEL A LITTLE STRESSED. I HAD ALREADY MADE SURE CHRISTIAN WAS SET ABOUT HIS TASK OF CLEANING OR RATHER SHOVELING HIS ROOM, AND SAVANNAH WAS DOING HER BIBLE STUDY AND SPENDING PRIVATE TIME IN PRAYER. SHE WAS ON THE COMPUTER TYPING OUT HER PRAYER LIST TO GOD AND THEN WHEN SHE FINISHES IT WAS CHRISTIAN'S TURN TO DO THE SAME AND SAVANNAH'S TURN TO STRIP HER BED AND BRING THE DIRTY LINENS DOWN TO BE LAUNDERED, ETC. APRIL WENT TO PRAYER AT THE CHURCH AND I WAS ABLE TO SIT AND HAVE MY COFFEE AND SET ABOUT MAKING MY LIST. WELL BOY I GOT A BIT OVERWELMED WITH ALL THE ITEMS ON MY LIST AND DECIDED TO STOP THERE. LOL. AND I SAT THERE DRINKING MY COFFEE AND FEELING A BIT DISMAYED AT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, I BEGAN TO TELL GOD HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND WOW HOW AWESOME HE IS THAT HIS LIST IS SOOOOO MUCH MORE THAN MINE AND YET HE IS NOT STRESSED.LOL THEN ALL OF THE BLESSINGS STARTED GOING THROUGH MY MIND.... YES I HAVE ALOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES BUT IT IS ONLY BECAUSE GOD LOVES ME SO MUCH THAT HE GAVE ME MORE THAN ONE CHILD TO CARE FOR, HE GAVE ME A HUSBAND THAT NEEDS ME,THE WHOLE REASON MY LIST IS BIG IS BECAUSE GOD TRUSTS ME ENOUGH WITH MORE THAN JUST MYSELF TO CARE FOR. WOW......THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. SOOOO, I MERRILY, OK MAYBE NOT MERRILY,BUT WITH A SPRING IN MY STEP I GOT BUSY TACKLING THOSE ITEMS ON MY LIST. AND ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT I CONQUERED THE WHOLE LIST, I AM MAKING HEAD WAY. LOL ANYWAY JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE THAT WITH YOU GUYS OUT THERE THAT CAN RELATE. LOVE YOU ALL BUT I GOTTA GO GET BUSY!THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE!!!!PRAISE GOD! | | |
