This is not Ripley's believe it or not !

How can it be that we claim to be christians yet deny that The lord makes available to us today the healing powers of Jesus Christ. I dont get it, throughout my Bible it teaches me of Jesus healing, the sick, the blind, raising the dead and yet today we deny that this is available to us. You only need spend some time in Matthew, Luke and John and right there in James specific instruction a how to of sorts. But ooh we wouldnt want to step that far out there would we? what might others think ? Im gonna tell you what comes to my mind oh ye of little faith and you do not believe because you do not see... And do not forget The Lord remains faithful forever and the Lord reigns forever and for ALL generations. The possibilities are endless and Gods promises and provisions spoken to us in his word just seem to keep going and going and going he is more than the energizer bunny my friend !!!

You can do it !

I had so many reasons not to follow thru when I got up this morning. I decided that regardless of how I felt I was going to do what was planned. A blessing was to be, as we got to work and applied the color to the walls which at first looked pretty ugly ! With a little drying time things started to look better and by completion we all were satisfied with the work we had done. Somewhere between our goofing around and a bit of teezing we had some good discussion and shared and I found some help for a project my heart burned to be a part of that I was only able to partially do on my own. Oh how I want to bring the word of God to suffering people where there are no Bibles, where there are people willing to risk their lives to deliver them and God provided my help. It is freeezing outside but there is a bon-fire blazing on main street in Inwood.

The whisper All things are possible with God !

Part 2 of tracks

Little did we know that our waiting would put my husband on a two lane road at 4 a.m. where he would come upon a truck that had crashed, air bags deployed with the passenger still inside. The call to 911 went out after waiding waist deep in the snow to find the occupant unresponsive in the backseat.I did not find out until 7 A.m. that God had used my husband to save a mans life. He told me the man was found totally intoxicated and once again "BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD THERE GO I" was his final comment.

Tracks

It is 2:25 a.m. what am I doing awake ? Well let me tell you! Had to take my husband to Sioux falls left at 11:00 did make a stop at walmart then the ride home, Alone ? I was not alone, I was not afraid, but I was hanging on to that steering wheel pretty tight. If it had not been for the one set of tracks barely visible in the snow I do not know if I would have made it. I had one truck come toward me and almost run me off the road and yes I did cuss! Then there were these crazy tracks and a truck pulled over, they were either blind or drunk. As I went passed I knew I was not stopping so I slowed to decide do I call 911 or maybe now that I am ahead of them they will follow me and you got it that is just what they did, I tried to stay far enough ahead to stay safe and whoever they were they arrived in larchwood safe and sound. From Larchwood to Inwood at times 20 miles per hour and then the tracks disappeared, I felt a panic start to rise in my chest and all I could do was say God I cannot see where I am going, slowing to the point I thought I would spin out and get stuck nerves frazzed red lights ahead and tracks a car turned out onto the road and I followed those tracks safely home. I told God a few things about my husband on our drive, Like from now on he better plan ahead and leave earlier in bad weather and I kind of chuckle for the old self would have had that cell phone in hand dialing and telling him just what I thought of his decision to wait so long not holding back anything including every swear word every spoken. As I entered town I calmly called my Dear husband and let him know I was home and that I Loved him, asked him to be oh so careful , to take his time and if it gets to bad to pull over and wait. God you are A miracle worker Indeed......

Never Alone

An evening with secretariat and breakfast with nanny McPhee returns. An afternoon to commune with the Lord and some great laughter all the way home with friends.
Bob is trying to make me jealous, he is off to El Paso and Gus and I have decided to stay home with the indoor toilet that has a flusher and a shower everyday. Our homeless friend now employed and in his own apartment, I just want to stay home. Alone used to terrify me and now it is a treasure, a time where I can be with God and we can enjoy conversing and getting to know each other better. A good friend gave me a coin a while ago that said never alone and now I know that is really true , I am never ALONE !!!!!

Love today

I do not think I am afraid to die, but I find myself asking God Please God can I stay long enough to see all three daughters married and I want to know my grandchildren. At times begging for more time and I wonder why do my thoughts go here ? I am unsure of that answer but after seeing Eric's story I will not deny the whisper I hear and I know the voice. As my body already shows signs of failing at 47 years old and my mind now starts to not know where it is sometimes, lost when I recognize where I am, with the cardiovascular problems and the doctors trying to save my legs and my life, yet unable to put down the cigarette which could buy me more time, In the end of it all I have no control, the day has already been determined, the plan is God's and I surrender to my God and king! My life is not my own and I will treasure the moments that I have right now not worrying about tomorrow and Love with all I have today...

Girl Scout Cookies

Got my order in, can hardly wait to go get those yummy desserts we delight in once a year. I recently have had the opportunity to help other worthy causes also, The prison pen pal minstry which only requires e few moments of time a stamp a piece of paper and an envelope and the sharing between strangers who soon become friends. Then there are always things in the community and many other opportunities to give of ones time or monetary goods. It always amazes me how God takes our helping others and continually turns it around into a blessing for us. It is better to give than recieve yet in giving I always recieve !
