Post Thanksgiving...

feels a bit strange this year. We had a real nice Thanksgiving, but I obsessed on not getting upset. I tend to get overwhelmed when everyone gets together. I am not real sure why, I just do. I think it stems from feeling disconnected. I have felt that way from most of my life. I wonder if that comes from growing up in the military. I'm not sure, and I don't know why I fell that I have to "diagnoise" all my "feelings". It should be ok to feel. As a matter of fact the Bible says a lot on feelings, and more importantly not to act upon those feelings. Feelings can be (not always)deseptive. I will try to keep that in mind. So to sum up...Thanksgiving was nice, real nice.

Yesterday I heard that Mandi, our mid-day girl, has Swine Flu. I hope that she is feeling better. I have concerns with switching as the "sub" when a shift needs to be covered. I would rather do my regular then flow into the covering. I don't know if that would be better or not. It's just a thought. Maybe I'll bring that up later on.

I have enjoyed my couple of days off. I did have to work last night @ the Millhouse. It was a pretty good night. It did not end so well though. One of my friends called while I was at work. I called her right back and found out that her sone, who is a special needs child, was sick and asked if I had a nebulizer. I did so I let her borrow it. I hope that he is ok. I love Antonio, he is a great kid. When he gets sick, it's worse than for a normal child. I talked with her today and found out that he is doing ok, but she had to take him to the clinic today.

Today's festivities were very quiet. We chilled out the first part of the morning and then we went shopping for the kids to get them some clothes that they need now that the weather is cooler. After a very whinny afternoon we got home and then my daughter was able to stay at a friends house and me and "all the boys" chilled out w/ pizza and tv. It is now almost midnight and I am the only one awake. I am having nicotine withdrawls and trying real hard not to eat. I figured that typing would help ease the moment. So far...it's not. I'll let you know how it ends. I have quit smoking but I sure do miss it. If I can make it through this battle I think I can do anything. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well that's that for now, I'm going to check facebook and watch a bit more tv before heading into bed.

~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
