Mother Nature

For this time of the year we are having more rain than normal. The weather people call it mother nature. I know that they are refering to God execpt I don't believe for one moment that it is God.

The bible clearly states in John 10:10 that the thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. The thief is the devil. Kill, steal and destroy God isn't behind it. Read it for yourself. God is a good God and very loving. He loves everyone of us even in our sin.

God wants us all to have a personal relationship with Him and trust Him in times like this. Times are going to get worse according to the bible before the second coming of Jesus. Reach out to Him because He is there if you just invite Him. I watch God work in my life everyday. If you woke up with breath this morning God gave it to you.

Life has it's ups and downs but with the Lord you can handle them all. I pray that everybody comes to the knowledge of knowing Jesus died on the cross for everybody. Ask Him into your heart today and trust Him with the rest of your life.

Past Memories

I went to the eye doctor today and he is located in one of our old neighborhoods. I love to go back in time sometimes because it shows me again all the blessings that my wonderful God has bestowed on me.

I saw the park that our family went biking to, the Hansens Dairy that is now closed down and some of the homes of old friends.

This was the first home that we had purchased so my kids were younger, my oldest around 11 and my youngest just 2. I would take that time back in a hearbeat. I loved being a stay at home mom with the kids. If you are a mom and you want to stay at home with your children and think that you can't afford it just do it. The stuff that you think you need in this life will come and come right when you need it. That is how it happen for us.

I am older now and realize the more you have the more you have to take care of. This home had a three season's porch and the kids loved it. The two windows on the porch side didn't have screens on them so the kids could crawl in and out from there room to the porch. They made tents and what not out there. I loved to sit out there and read.

I remember a time on a Saturday a neighbor watched our youngest daughter Kim walk down the driveway and turn the corner to go down the block. He called us so we were able to go right after her and we asked her where she was going and she said to meet her sister at school. That could of been a close call except the Lord always has His angels watching over us. Psalm 91 has always been a comfort to me in this day and age that we live. If you haven't read it you should. I read it everyday over my family. It is God's promise to us if we believe that.

We watched our Jodi go from Elementary school to Middle school to graduating from high school. My children are both long time out of high school and I am very proud of the young women that they have become. It won't be long and they will have there own husbands, children and memories.

I pray that as you read this today that your life is as blessed as mine.

Psalm 139

“O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. You chart the paths ahead of me, and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment, you know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me, and place your hand of blessing on my head. Psalm 139.

 It is so true God knows where we are every minute. Some might think that to be scarry but I don't. I want God to always know where I am just as we always know He never leaves us or forsakes us.

 I am learning about this blog stuff and having a good time in the process. I have always liked to write down my thoughts. I wrote what I call Dear Jesus letters here and there over the years so I decided to write a book about my life since I became born again. It was easy to do because of those letters. Anything that I had forgotton I found in those letters. I encourage you all to do the same.

I just wrote about where our life was and everything that God was doing. God is so good. I get all choked up when I reread them. God's goodness is overwhelming to me. It's Monday and I normally get all my work done for the week and then I can do what I want but the lawn motor won't start. I proably will go try it again otherwise I have to wait until tomorrow unless it is raining.

God says our steps are ordered by Him and even though it wasn't on the schedule for tomorrow we have to always trust Him. He knows best even when we don't realize it at the time.

 I pray for all of you that you have everything you need and that you know without a shadow of doubt how much God loves you.

 Have a good one.
