TRUST

Have you ever have one of those day's when you know that you need to get up and go to work but you just don't have the energy because your not feeling well? Well, that was me for two days in a roll. I thought to myself I have to stay up after taking my son to school but then when I get home I tell myself I will lay down for an hour to rest. Then what happens an hour turns into two to three hours then my day is wasted. This does not help with my business since I run my own business. I am an Avon Independent Sales Representative, so I need to be out there taking some orders and helping more people do what I do. I have to sell over a certain amount each campaign and I wasn't sure I was going to do it. The bad thing was I kept dwelling on that and Satan just kept bringing it up that I wasn't going to do it, but God just kept telling me trust me. Well, I thought to myself okay if I am going to get that certain amount it is only with God's help. I put my trust in him and I got that amount. I am thanking and praising God for what he does and is doing in my life.

As I sit here I was thinking I had a conversation with my friend on Tuesday night about trusting God. WOW! If we just trust him look what he can do. Who is going to trust God now?

Book Review of "CROSSING VALUES" by Carrie Daws

     I had the privilege of reading “Crossing Values” by Carrie Daws. It is a short read with only one hundred and sixty pages with some chapters only being one page (which I have never seen before). The book is a Christian romantic fiction that focuses on emotional and family healing; I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read romantic fiction but keeps you in some expense. It is about a young girl Amber who is avoiding the skeletons in her closet by running around the Northwest and ending in a small town Crossing, Oregon. As she was slowing making her way east she was job-hopping every few weeks, so no one could get close to her. During the winter while looking for work Frank Yager offers her a job at the families logging company, has she decides to take the job she realizes that the family is different from any she’s ever known before. As Amber watches the family interacts she has more questions than she has answers not knowing if they are genuine or not. As Amber is getting to know Frank, Faye, and Peter and that they have gone through their own tragedy she slowing lets her guard down and start letting them get closer to her.

     

I really enjoyed reading this book because it not only kept me in suspense of why Amber was running but it showed you how others can love someone even if they don’t know them. This book shows you what true faith is and how to rely on God. It also shows that once Amber can trust the Yager family and they share things about God, she sees true love that the family shows her and that God wants a closer relationship with her and not have her run away from him.  I am looking forward to the sequel of “Ryan’s Crossing”.  You can find this book on Amazon.com for the price of $11.99.

An Amazing Weekend

    Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I had the most amazing time, my husband and I went camping up by Lake Tahoe even though it was in the 30’s at night it was great. The scenery was beautiful. It let me dwell on what God has done for us. At one point my husband and I were talking about how God created everything for us and some people don’t appreciate it. He told me he looks at it differently now, before he was saved he thought it took years to make everything now he looks at it that God created all of it in 7 days. The place we went camping they cooked for you and the food was great. You could tell the guy that cooked appreciated what he did. Once we got back to the reality of life it makes me want to go back, just to look at the scenery and be in the quietness of what God has created. I keep thinking I need to just find a place near home with the quietness and the beautiful scenery that I can enjoy.

So do you have a special place you like to go and sit in the quietness and listen to God? 

It's funny when you are out and about you have things that you want to write down of what you heard from God and others or of things you have seen in a blog, but once you start writing in the blog you forget what you wanted to write.
