Friday night was revival night, then Sat, Sunday the 5th( my last post), Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur. Count them , for almost a week I argued with Jesus. Sunday like a defiant teenager I skipped church, saw my boyfriend, read a vampire book and watched a drag queen movie. If I used to smoke and drink I think I would have done that too. I was so sick Monday I went to a doctor and got prescribed antibiotics. In misery and still I resisted admitting I was wrong. I clutched that bottle of pills as proof I was not to blame for feeling weak and ill. Scared to let fellow Christians know I was more sinner than sick. Ashamed of myself. This morning I caved and admitted I was wrong. And asked for Jesus to forgive me. I felt normal again, calm. No biting fingernails or worrying. My smile was real today and I was at ease. I don't know what to think about my Sunday post, maybe a part of me was trying to convince myself the right thing to do. Or my vanity was showing off for you guys. Trying to impress strangers with my holyness when my insides felt filthy. Right now I am grateful to be forgiven. Happy to feel clean and unashamed. I resolved this morning to spend more time studying Jesus and I spent an hour reading "Christ and Life". Goodnight y'all. I rented Flywheel for tonight. About a man finding Jesus and becoming a decent man. I pray God makes me into someone my teens will be proud of and I'm sorry about that attitude in my last post. I can lie to myself and everyone around me, but not to Jesus. Thank God He doesn't accept less than all of us. Lip service is meaningless without it being backed up with our mind and heart.
we love you just the way you are....none of us are perfect. We can only pray that when we are having these less than perfect moments that He will help us. I know I have plenty of them....so you are not alone. We can pray that He will guide and direct us.
Made me more aware of the beauty of my children. Yesterday, my little boy (4-yrs) brought home a shell from daycare and place it in the turtle's bowl, you should have seen his face when a snail emerged from out of the shell. He was so excited, he yelled, "Mommy, the shell is walking!" So today, he brought home 10 more in a cup!
So innocent, so sweet, but 10 snails? (LOL). Oh, by the way, they all had names. So how do you get "rid" of Jerry, Mike, John and Steve ......?

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Man. These sparrow wings have momentarily been traded in for Eagle's wings. Many months of wandering in the wilderness.... unable to fly and now I am soaring over the mountaintops.
In our weakness, His strength can SURELY be seen. It may take awhile to see it... but hang on, just have patience.
I love you God.
Thank you.
My little sparrow wings may become injured once again... but this moment of flying over the mountaintops will remain in my heart.
Thank you for loving us so much.
Sometimes we can't see it, it's obscured, seemingly hidden from our view... but it's ALWAYS there. Just waiting to surprise us and bring us closer to Him.

LOL that is sooo cute!
Well, last night storms came through North Texas... a long awaited rain that cooled down the temperture from 105 to the low 90s. Ahhh, a nice cool front and I woke to notice a leak in my ceiling!!!! Oh well, just put a bucket under it and go to work with my windows down...ahhhh a nice cool day.
What has God done for me today? I prayed that he would open the manager's eyes to me, that she would see I'm worth paying. Today she handed me gas money and bought my lunch. She was friendly and seemed pleased I was there. One of the troublemakers has been gone for almost two weeks to take care of an ill family member. The store is calm and drama free. No gossip, no whispering. I am so grateful that today it was three Christians working together. I'm grateful I can count myself among the drama free three. I'm praying she either decides to work here with Jesus in her heart or she takes early retirement and I can put in to work here as a paid employee. God healed me of what I was collecting disability for. It seems like I'm disrespecting what He's done by continuing to live off of SSI checks. My brain was made fully functional, no more fuzzies. Getting off the sugar was my physical action. But it was God who told me to quit that stuff and stay away from it if I wanted to be better, smarter. Something I want to point out for any nonbelievers who read this, everything I read in the Bible and personally hear as an impression or idea from God has been to my benefit. Since I started listening to God instead of coworkers, my life has been cleaner and healthier. That load on my shoulders I gave to Him and I don't miss it a bit.
He has shown me time and time again who my enemies were (wolves)
and I have not heeded.. ignoring the Holy Spirit caused me to make wrong decisions by trusting those who meant me harm.
His Grace and Mercy is awesome
He caused me to push some freshly laundered clothes hanging up aside to look in the back of
my dryer that I had just turned on, to see in the nick of time what would have been a fire
I was able to assess the situation and act immediately on the faulty equipment.
