What do I have to say today. We went and got Max's haircut for our trip to NJ can not let everyone think we are too hippyish.

I have had a really low time this week, I just get stuck in my own head..... but Friday Max and I went to the beach while much to Olivia's unhappiness she was at school ( I am raising beach bums) It just grounds me, we ran and played and swang. Looking at the ocean I do not understand how anyone could not believe in our awesome GOD. Its so amazing and powerful and peaceful too. I pray that I never live to far from the ocean. (I think I have some salt water in the blood)

I am learning to trust still and its all I need to do. Have faith walk and not run. Sometimes its a crawl but it is forward motion !!!!!!

Life is Good, we are healthy, my kids are healthy, We have a loving God he is all we need

Valentines Day

Well it has definitely been a week. My cooler broke and my poor doggies both got colitis and it was Valentines Day on a saturday of a long weekend. Not the day I was needing, but the Lord provided what he we needed. (At first I wrote what he thought we needed but apptly put would be what I thought he needed to provide) unfortunately I was praying for different outcome. But he is in charge.
I survived and I paid a bill he just keeps me on such a tight leash its good for me makes me walk by faith (which I still struggle with) Sometimes my struggle is brief and then I realize we are nestled in the palm of our hand, he is our Shephard none shall pluck us out of his hand. We are safe we are loved we are where we need to be.

Lord let me be content!!! let me hold on!!!! let me walk in faith!!!!

Thank you Jesus for your love and kindness, for my children, for being raised in a Christian family, for parents who have spent many times on their knees on my behalf.

Thank you Jesus that I have been chosen

A new day

Its funny. I often feel lonely but lately I have had the pleasure of emailing 2 very old friends and its amazing how good it felt to "talk" to them again.

I feel so cold in my worship lately, I want to feel like talking to the Lord is like talking to an old friend. But right now I am just doing it. Reading, praying but I want to feel alive like coming to his word and kneeling in prayer is more than just an action.

We have so many blessings from above and we have so much to be thankful for may we never forget that he brings so many blessings and knowing him is such a honor and a privilege and not something that should be done but something we yearn to do.

My prayer is for the yearning again

Plaguerizing

IS that even the correct way to spell it.

These are not mine but 2 daily devotions I receive and these were on the same day!!!!!!!

HMMMM

Could not pound into my head any better

WELL SAID (I can say that since its not patting myself on the back as I am plaguerizing : )!!!!! )


VERSE:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his

compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your

faithfulness.

-- Lamentations 3:22-23

THOUGHT:

What sustained you through the night? What will get you through

today? What will enable you to achieve your goals, even thrive, in

the days that lie ahead? The LORD's mercies. These incredible

resources never run out! Each new day brings a fresh supply of

them. God is faithful to make sure we have them each day. Praise be

to God for making our world new and clean each new day.

For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
1 Corinthians 14:33a

If you're looking for God to show you something clearly, don't over-pollute what He's showing you with the thoughts and reasoning of your own mind. God has given you a mind to use, and at the same time, He has given you the Holy Spirit to help, guide and discern what is of Him and what is of the flesh. Use both, but rely most on the unchanging nature of God to ultimately guide you in the way that you should go.

The End of the Year

Out with the old in with the new. This has been a year, changes and more changes laughter and tears.

Filled with learning and relearning...trusting and wavering. Making a resolution will you stick with it, I make many resolutions but not in the new year's eve. Intention ... high to keep them going reality not so high but I try and I will keep trying.

If I look around I see answers to prayers, I do not even need to look far or hard, He has carried us through this year, He has never faltered, I many a times have I faltered.

I simply want to thank him. Thank you for walking with me and carrying me and being with me. I never would have made it alone. Help me to continue putting your will in front of mine. You are so much better at this.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, may I come to love you even more.

Its Christmas morning and all are asleep.....how is it today is the day the choose to sleep in, In a few minutes all chaos will erupt. Now I sit and have a wonderful cup of coffee ooooh i hear little feet to be continued

today I will trust

The path that I am on is very shaky. A bridge over rough waters its only one plank width and has no rails. If I look at what I should focus on ...which is His ability to help me safely cross the bridge I will make it, if I look down I won't. Lord help me to keep my eyes focused on you. When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
My heart is overwhelmed, fear is set in. I sit here and listen for a phone that is not ringing. Can I sit here and enjoy the quiet or am I going to sit here and panic. The choice is mine. The deliverance is His. Why would I even think that my way is more helpful. Let me tell you its not.

Lord hear my cry and help me to know that if your eye is on the sparrow I know you are watching over us
