Another Week Gone By!

                I was so glad that the weekend was here because I sure needed it. I am just sitting here pondering everything that has happen this past week and I wonder how I ever have the strength to get through it. That is when I remember Jesus is my provider on everything including my strength without him I couldn’t do it. That is when the two verses come to mind Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Psalm 119-28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

                Found out Friday that my daughter and son-in-law has decided not to get divorced but to separate for now so he can figure out what he wants and so they both can get a job and find their own place. I am so hoping whatever happens that my daughter stays strong like she has been these last few days. I am one proud mom, since when this first started happening she was in tears all the time.

                Friday had some fun reading peoples post on a website I go on, it kept me laughing when I felt like crying. I am so tired of just sitting at home and not working. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy not working some days, but there are days when I realize that this isn’t want I want to do. I want to help others by using the skills I have and that I have learned through life. I know that it is in God’s timing that I will get a job, but sometimes I wish it was now.

                I had a great time Friday night with my husband we went to an Italian dinner that our church put on for about sixteen people. We weren’t going to go, but someone bought our tickets. We don’t know who it was but we are so blessed. Wish we could personally thank them; I will just let our Pastor’s wife know to thank the person for us. The food was delicious; it was a five course meal. We had appetizer, chicken soup, salad. The main course was lasagna which is one of my favorites, and spaghetti. Then we had dessert which I can’t remember what it was called but it was good.

Got to sleep in on Saturday morning for a little bit, which was nice. My husband and I just sat and watch movies on Saturday all day which was nice. We had a nice service on Sunday morning and Sunday evening. My daughter has started coming to church again which I am so happy about, and in fact re-dedicated her life back to our Lord Jesus. I think I will just sit and read today and finish up my laundry. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. 

Very Productive Day

This day is finally over, I at least got all my laundry done and put a resume in for a job. Also took my son to his doctor appointment for his physical for baseball. While my youngest daughter is away I have been feeding her rabbit, and today I had to clean the cage. Oh my I forgot how bad that thing stinks.

It was so funny watching her rabbit running and hopping all over the place and the dogs just would go up and smell her and watch the rabbit. I am so glad my and my mother’s dog doesn’t try to play rough with the rabbit like they do each other. It is so funny watching those two dogs when they are playing. We have a Labrador and my mom’s dog is a Chihuahua, our dog Mars has treated Kodi, my mom’s dog like her own baby since he was brought home at 6 weeks.

Trying to be supportive for my oldest daughter, since she and her husband are now getting ready to go through a divorce. I told her today that God will be her strength and he will carry her through this, which I do believe he will. Since my youngest daughter is away it is hard on her because she can’t be here for her sister, but she talked to her today.

Pondering on things

Sorry, I haven’t been on the past couple of days. I have had a lot on my mind and trying to write would not have worked. I have been pondering at what my life has for me and I am wondering if I am going in the right direction that is when I try to look ahead and that is when God reminds me that He is in control. One thing I have noticed the last couple of days is when my children are going through things I start to stress with them and it truly hurts my heart to know they are hurting or stressing. Going to try and focus on other things maybe even watch some television to get my mind off things for the rest of the evening. Hope everyone’s evening goes well. 

Be Strong and Courageous!

Well, today was a good day. Spent thinking about what all happen this weekend, yesterday a friend got baptized and it was her birthday. It was so good to see how the Lord works in our lives to bring us to him. Today at church the verse Joshua 1:9 was read and the Lord was speaking to me, since I have been very discourage and frustrated in finding a job. 

The verse says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV) Well, I think this tells us a lot in what the Lord wants us to realize that He is the one in control of our lives. I am praying that Jesus is going to open the doors for the job He has for me. I am trusting in Jesus in all He has for my life. May God bless you and your family today. 

The Reflection of Things In This Life

It was a beautiful day today with the sun shining. As I reflex on the things in this life I have come to realize that God provides for all my needs. Even though I am currently not working, but looking for work I know God will provide in His timing. Sometimes I get a little frustrated that there hasn’t been anyone calling me back and that is when I realize God is in control and is putting everything in works for what He has for me.

 Got to talk to my youngest daughter today and it was so nice to hear her voice. It is very hard on all of us including her since we aren’t use to being far away from each other, but like I told her I am only a phone call away. I honestly can say that I love my children more than anything. That is when I start to think God’s love that He has for me is so much like the love I have for my children, but His love is more than anything I can famine. So may God’s love cover you today to where it is over flowing.   

As I Walk Through Today

Well, a lot has happened in these past couple of months. As I look back through the sand (the past couple of months) and see my footprints I have to remember to learn from the things that have happen and not dwell on them. This is where I realize I have to look forward and see Jesus leading me through the sand of this world.

As I am going forward today after getting up at 4am to take my youngest daughter to the airport for her first trip on a plane out of state (since she said she doesn’t remember riding one when she was a toddler). I am use to her going away during the week and coming home on the weekend.  But this will be the first time our family has ever been away from her this long; three weeks. At least she is only a phone call or text away, LOL.

When you have adult and teen children you have a lot to look forward to. I look at the way my children are growing up from the day the doctor laid them in my arms to today and wonder how my mom did it. Sometimes it is so hard to see the hurt they go through and I just want to help stop it, which is when I have to remind myself that they have to learn like I did.  

Oh the wonders of this day, what does God have in store for me. Only He knows. I hope everyone has a blessed and happy day.
