Can you go thru a day and make no mistakes ?
Can you no matter your surroundings rise above unwavering ?
Can you Love no matter what ?
Can you forgive even when the offense still stings ?
Can you be kind to those who use you ?
Can you be gentle in the toughest situations ?
Can you ?
I cannot !
Jesus can thru me ...
Thank you Lord for coming into my heart and changing me for every situation for every victory and for every loss...

Carry On
I remember this song so vividly from my younger years
Days seem to come so swiftly and missed opportunity is everywhere
What is the measure
Why can I not be bold
Lord I hear you
May I be able to give an answer
The needs surround us and seem to swallow us up
I cannot meet them
Yet I know the one who can
Stepping out of the comfort zone right now seems difficult
I lift mine eyes to the hills for where does my help come from ?
My help comes from the Lord...
I prayed to be used and it's arrival has been met with the fear of rejection.
I will come boldly to the throne even if I am wavering in the boldness...

Carry on...
If only I could take back all the stupid or insensitive words I had ever spoken I would do it in a heartbeat
Sticks and stones is so untrue.
I don't have any excuse or need anyone else to make excuses for my tongue.
Think on these things.
Whatever is true.
whatever is lovely.
Forgive and Forget.

Still small voice and a second chance
I knew I would pray for a friend this week.
The intent was Thursday was a big decision day in her life.
Monday however was the day she needed the prayers the most.
A shower.
A sharp knife.
Many stitches.
An ER visit.
An admittance to behavioral health.
I knew she wanted out yet had no idea how badly.
I thought I offered good advice.
I did not share all I should have
I prayed on Thursday and sent messages on Tuesday.
The Good News I held back
I was waiting in fear of rejection.
God has graciously given her and I a second chance
I will not waiver, I will do it afraid or not in total confidence but it Will be Done...

Friends
What are they ?
Do they acknowledge you only at church or in chance meetings.
Do they call for no reason or invite you to be part of their lifes activities.
Do they support and encourage you no matter what ?
If you told them your deep dark secrets would they turn there back on you ?
Do they judge in ignorance ?
Do they act like your friend only if you run into each other or do they take the time to let you know they care even when lives go in differant directions.
Do they leave you out of dinner parties and concerts cuz your just not on the list of the most prominent and influential.
Do they judge you by the clothes you wear or the kind of car you drive or maybe the size of your home or wallet.

R.I.P.
We met on a sad day, the passing of a parent.Serious talks and plans were made.
Evidence of a respect for the dead and those left behind.
Comforted by the stranger and at ease that he performed his job with dignity.
So comfortable with each other he shared a funny story of my moms pain pump going off in her casket and the beep, beep, beep, they thought may be a fire, only to have to open her casket with mixed feeling and see what the world was beeping.
As my sisters and I shared later that day and the men entered the house asking who were we talking about, oh its Kristi's boyfriend, as my husbands facial expression turned priceless and we giggled like school girls, that introduction never left, with each meeting I greeted Larry as my boyfriend and we giggled cuz we had told him of our story..
Lord I am ticked that Larrys wife and children have lost their precious dad and husband and I ask WHY.
These sudden acts, heartbreaking the innocent and ending all their plans with such abruptness seem very unfair...
To all his family, friends and co-workers Remember that Smile and Love and pay it forward..

Good-bye My Friends...
It has been a while since I blogged.
Two sad days bring me back.
Anger.
Disappointment.
Questions.
God Why ?
Some things there are no good answers for...
I will trust you.
I will believe in you and your word.
I will not give up.
God I am leaning heavily on your promises.
I will practice the fruits of the spirit for they are a part of me.
Trust and obey for theres no other way.
