When it rains...

it pours! I mean that in every sense of that phrase. I had no time to blog at all yesterday. To start, I got a call from my mom to let me know that her car had died. We quickly came up with a plan "B" to get a things done, but only 1/2 of them did. I tried to drive her car after the battery was working again, but then there was a problem with the car not defrosting and then the car informs us that the coolant level was too low. We made it to the store and was informed by a very nice person that helped us that the temp gauge is stuck...that is what caused my Nissan to crack the engine so I told mom that I was driving her home and that I would drop off the 7' Christmas tree to the station and pick up the 5' tree for her office. So that was all I really got done the first part of the day.

I picked up the kids from school and quickly got them ready to go right back out the door. One to a friends house and the others to my moms...I drove all over the place! Off to work I went and no joke...it was a slammed night! There was an hour wait for tables...therefore I was very very busy with to-go orders. After that was all said and done I got talked into working tonight - TONIGHT!!!!

So here it is, after only a few hours of sleep, Saturday. The parade is in a couple of hours, I'm at the station to get the tree and take it to where we are putting the float together at and then off to the grocery store with mom (this is take 2) and rush home to put up groceries and go into work.

Now with all that said, Mike is meeting with his new "boss" to go over his new job. It's a 2nd job (for now) and it is taking over the festivals for the Halyard group. So I don't know how much longer I will be working @ The Millhouse. I'll know more by this evening. Off I go, time to leave and get ready for the rainy parade.

~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...
