I have had a terrible cold this week and just laying low. Getting a kid ready for a dance is a major project anymore! We did not get the dress until Tuesday.
The sermon at church this morning was on Sabbath rest! God will have to make a way.
We are going to Seattle next weekend for a Sunday evening wedding. Are you working on Sunday AM? I do not know if it would work but if ya are I would love to stop by your "nutrition center" and say a hello in person!
I just love you dearly!
Thanks for the sweet words about my kiddos! They get their good looks from their dad!
Grace, I don't have my schedule for next Sunday as yet, but I'm a Closer, and the only time I would ever work any AM time, would be an emergency, of some sort. But I will get my new schedule on Thursday evening.
And I'm not buying your daughter's good looks as coming 100% from your husband, either :)
I'm sorry you have had a bad Cold. Bummer! But, hopefully, you're feeling better with each day that passes.
You sound like you're WAY busy, all the time! And I will certainly agree with you, that "God does make a way for you, to get more rest." Because it IS important, in your walk with God, and for your health, and for your family. I really believe that it's part of satan's plan for Believer's lifes, to get them so entangled, that they don't have adequate time to spend with God, their families, or other Believers. And then the, 'Three D's" can easily slip into a Believer's life. Doubt, Disception and Discontent. Anyway, I've found this to be all too true, over the years. So, I'll pass on some of my 'gleaning' in your direction :)
Enjoy your time in Seattle! It's a nice pleace to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, LOL. Too busy! Entirely too populated, for my taste, as well :)
Love ya, and get well soon! God CAN make a way, where there seems to be no way, too :) Faith always finds a way!
I remember (barely) those days of homecoming. Wonderful memories but I sure wouldn't want to live them again.
I hope you are feeling better. Colds are such miserable things. God sure gave those teeny little things a lot of power. They sure know how to get the better of me.
I hope everything else in your life is getting better too. I love you and I think of you often.
Thanks for posting those scriptures for Sue. I know they meant a lot to her and to all of us too.
Grace, I'm hoping this finds you over your Cold, and doing well.
And also to wish you an enjoyable and safe trip, visiting Seattle. We've had the "off and on again, Flannigan' weather," as of late :) Everything from sunny and warm, to pouring down rain storms. And more predicted for this weekend, too. So, I hope you stay warm and dry!
God's best to you, and yours, too! And have fun in Seattle! A neat place to visit, with some awesome views!
Long time no hear and now with 'grammas' blog down I didn't know how we were going to talk. You can email me at rozemom@yahoo.com if you want and I can let you know how to get in touch w/everyone.
I've been thinking about you so much for over a week.
During the night last night, I woke up and couldn't sleep, so I finally went to Joel's church website to listen to a few more sermons from Lon's "Life of Jesus" series.
While I was listening to this one message, I felt that God was telling me to share this one with you. It is entitled, "The Power of Unconditional Love," dated 10-27-96 (It's an oldie but a goodie.)
The website address is:
www.mcleanbible.org/
Select Sermon Archives, then by date or by series.
I pray that everything is going well with you and your entire family.
I never, ever check this blog anymore and I just happened to tonite!
Thank you for thinking of me and praying for me!
I just love you more than you know!
Tonite I am overwhelmed with needed to pray for my daughters, especially Kelsey, my youngest. I have literally been crying over her for 2 days. I know it is the Lord that has put this on my heart.
I was heading off to bed but will listen to Lon's sermon first thing in the morning!
I am also going to see if there is a way that I can reply right to you. You are a precious momma to me!
I will get back at this tomorrow. Thank you again, and Jesus must have known that I needed to hear this from you at this particular time.
I just finished listening to the Lon Solomon sermon. Wow!
Yesterday, in tears, I asked the Lord to specifically speak to me, to tell me in no uncertain terms what I need to hear. I asked, begged, to hear from Him in a very clear way.
There are alot of people in the world that need to hear that message, but I think I need to hear it the most!
I am so downtrodden in spirit most of the time because of my constant failure and the enemy beating me up that I cannot and do not enjoy life with Jesus. How can I share the redeeming love of God if I cannot absorb it myself?
I am so afraid that He will abandon me because I have crossed the line with yet one more day without victory over one sin or another, or that I have not spent the time in the Word or prayer as I should.
I remember thinking awhile ago, "what would it be like to just lose myself in the confidence that Jesus loved me, totally, unconditionally, eternally. How would that change my life from that moment on?"
I think this was the Holy Spirit's answer to my plea yesterday. Thank you so much Child!
I so hope and pray that you are doing well. I am going to see about finding a way to contact you just in case you do not check this. I love you sooooo dearly!
I never lost hope that you would check your blog and see my note to you.
I guess God knew when you would need to see it the most.
I've checked every day, even yesterday, apparently before you had replied.
I know that there is something wrong with Kelsey. The Lord has had me praying for her for weeks now.
Satan is making a desperate attempt at trying to turn our hearts and those of our children away from the love of God.
I am so glad that you listened to the sermon. And now I am praying that you will completely believe it with all your heart each and every day.
As for Kelsey, I totally understand how you feel, it is so hard for us to have to watch our children make mistakes, and to see the discipline of the LORD, as He lovingly brings them back to Himself. But we know He is faithful and is always working everything for good to those who love Him.
Just keep praying for her, asking the LORD to open her eyes and heart to His truth.
Grace, I open your blogspot every day, without fail, so anytime you want to leave me a message, I will see it.
If there is something that you want to share with me in private, send me an email at:
childsown@yahoo.com
My email was being monitored by the police department because of all the hateful emails that I was getting, but I don't think it is still being monitored.
And I would just love it if you would post periodically at Sheila's blogspot, so the others could also hear from you and reply.
Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or with you.
Grace, There is a new blog now, called, Ways of the Holy Spirit. Just click on my name, and it will get you there. Please join us, or anyone else, that is interested in growing in: the ways of the Holy Spirit.
I've missed hearing from you! And I'm looking forward to having you join us, too.
