It's been a week...

I laugh at my week & say, please be over soon!!!! Yes it's been a very long and exhausting week. Shall I back up to Sunday? Yes, lets.

Sunday, Thomas came home 30 minutes before it was time for church with a busted eye! See...what had happen was...he was at his friends house, across the street, playing basketball. The ball got stuck up on the rim and so Thomas was climbing up to get it. Well his friend was throwing rocks to try to "loosen" the basketball and WHAM the rock hit his eye! Broken blood vessels and a torn membrane (I found that out on Tuesday afternoon). So we went to church and then tried to nurse the eye.

Monday...the eye (and leg) were in pain pain PAIN! Thankfully the kids were out of school. I did leave them with my friend for about 90 minutes so I could go to the station to meet up with MIKESCHAIR. They were in the area and stopped in to do a quick interview & have lunch. That was just such a great time. I have grown to really enjoy my friendship with each of them. So after that was all said and done I worked from home.

Tuesday...was a full day at the station (thank goodness). After school I took Thomas to the eye doctor. I am so thankful that his eye had only a minor injury, but the fact that it was damaged was enough to make my heart sink. Not only that, but by this point of the week, my computer had a virus that my system couldn't shake!

So that brings us to Wednesday...I stayed home from work because Thomas was in no condition to go to school & I was w/o a computer. I was so very very thankful that I went into work at the restaurant. I spent too long up at work once I was done, but it was great to be encouraged by a new young believer. It was a great conversation.

That brings me to today...Thursday! My children were all in school today and I was soooo ready to get back to work, but that did not happen in a normal fashion. My co-worker is home sick today, so I filled in for her & I went in to take care of some production & then off to BNI! BNI was great today...despite a little bit of drama that I refuse to participate in. By the time I got out of the meeting I found out that my husbands car was not working. Seems that a piece of his key got jammed up or broken off so the key won't go into the ignition. So we are w/o our car for the next 3 days - that in itself is a joke!

Thank goodness for friends. I can borrow a car. Now the details of getting everyone where they need to be is a whole different story, but you know what...I'm tired & the pizza is on the way & to be honest...it'll work itself out! I am just really looking forward to worship tomorrow night & saying hello and goodbye to some friends that are getting ready to go back to Haiti. So there it is....back in business with my computer & my kids are all happy & healthy (again) and I am ready for a new beginning!


~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...
