Another Year...and GOD saw Me Through Again!!!!!

A new year is on the horizon and as you can see, I have not really kept up with my blog. In 2015, God added to our blessings with three new grands adopted through the Foster system. My husband and I spent 8 weeks in August, Georgia for his job. Several friends and loved ones changed their address to Heaven. The one constant in our lives is the God never let us down, (but I never thought He would).

Being able to put all our faith in the Lord, we are looking to great changes in 2016...my better half will be retiring, we will be celebrating 40 wonderful years of marriage and our oldest grand is going away to college. Time sure flies and only with the Master can we make it through these amazing changes He provides for us.

My prayer for the new year is that I will always be a witness for the Lord with every thought, word and deed and that everyday I can pay it forward in some small way.

Finishing out the year, Merry Christmas to all and stay safe and kiss your loved ones. You will never know if it is the last kiss you will give them this side of Heaven.


Blessings Always!!!

Celebrating the End and the Beginning

2014 is coming to a close and I did not meet my goal of posting as often as I intended. However, I did spend more time growing closer to the Lord. As 2015 approaches, I am excited to see what God has in store for all of those in my life as well as myself. I do not make resolutions for the new year, but intend to keep putting one foot in front of the other and plan to make each day a great day in the Lord. His promises are real and His blessings are abundant...He holds me up in good and bad...puts a hedge of protection around me and loves me in spit of me. I am so glad that I AM a child of the King and that His love is everlasting. May God touch your life now and always.


Blessings always!!!

CrAzY MoDe Be GoNe

It seems that every time I make the choice to do the right thing, smutty face has to put his two cents in. Crazy is a way of life in this modern age for most of us...school, work, family, etc!!! But how do we calm the crazy? Do we remember who should be at the top of our list of items to conquer and turn to Him??? We should all remember in the mist of crazy

J-Jesus
O-Others
Y-You

I found especially since I started this OBS journey that being crazy is not necessarily a bad thing as long as I stay on track, keep my eyes on the Lord and let Him use my testimony to remind others that God will see us through even in the CRAZY!!!

Letting go of the kite string after I have given something to God has always been my biggest flaw, but with a little bit of crazy, I can fly my kite with God and He will be in control and I still remain sane. I've learned that the house does not have to be perfect, our grown daughters have turned out right well and the grands have a lot of love and God is still in control. So I will continue to be a little bit crazy and enjoy this wonderful life God has blessed me with. I will hold fast to His hand every step of the way and know that He will led me in the right path.

God promises us in Proverbs 2:6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct our paths!!!

Let's Just Praise the Lord

As I begin this journey, I know that God has something special for me to do...I am not completely sure what that task is, but He will direct me in the right way.

Some of my goals on this journey are:

1-Praise God more!!
2-To continue on my journey of regaining my first love for the Lord
3-To be a better me spiritually and physically
4-Show my friends and family who is in control of my life
5-Have a better relationship with my husband,kids and grandkids
6-To be the very best me I can be


Let's just praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let's just lift our hearts to heaven and praise the Lord;
Let's just praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let's just lift our hearts to heaven and praise the Lord!



O we thank You for Your kindness, we thank You for Your love,
We have been in heavenly places, felt blessings from above;
We've been sharing all the good things, the family can afford,
Let's just turn our praise toward heaven and praise the Lord.



Just the precious name of Jesus is worthy of our praise,
Let us bow our knees before Him, our hands to heaven raise;
When He comes in clouds of glory, with Him to ever reign,
Let's just lift our happy voices, and praise His name.



Thanks for your continued support and prayers as I take this journey.

Blessings always!!!

A Raging Battle

The battle to overcome the ever food craving is often overwhelming!!! After becoming an amputee in August of 2010, I was now a semi-permanent fixture in my home and being alone was not my friend. I found the kitchen to close and the snack drawer to easy to reach. I had given part of the situation to God and knew He would see me through the adjustments ahead, but how did I fill those lonely hours when my wonderful husband was at work?

Satan now showed even more so how to feel sorry for myself and why did I care what I looked like...I only went out for doctor's visits. Did I ever stop to think that as a Child of the King I still had a responsibility to take care of God's temple? No...however I can't go back and 2014 is my year to get it right.

Praise God today I finally got my permanent proper fitting prosthetic and am still working to reach the goals God has given me. Will the cravings go away...I am sure not, but I now fulfill the cravings with a healthy dose of good ole scripture and prayer.

Reaching out to God to help me on this journey has given me back my first love for Jesus and I am looking forward to accomplishing everything He has for me.



Blessings always!!!

My Favorite Verse...Philippians 4:13

                                                                                                                       



My Life Verse: Philippians 4:13:


                                        

In all my life's journey, I realize that I can only make it through my relationship with Christ. His answer is not always what I want to hear, but it is ALWAYS the right one. My faith is sometimes tested as with all Christians, but having the Rock of Christ to lean on is sustaining. I love being able to share with others how Christ strength has bought through many struggles and delivered me whole every time.

I am looking forward to making new friends with or "Made to Crave" journey.

Blessings always!!!
