God's Love

God is my friend! The best friend that I ever had. He listens to me and I am not scared to talk to Him.  I love Him so much.

God's Love

By Bethany Smith and Angie Black

God's love is like a wave upon the ocean

The wind is blowing a wave upon me

The sky was gray but now it is blue

Cause God's love is like a wave upon the ocean

And now His love in floating me away

Sometimes we need a wave of His love

And like an eagle His praises will soar

They will soar from where I am floating

Cause God's love is like a wave upon the ocean

And now His love is floating me away

All through the years I have felt God's love and care for me.  I know that it is there.  I know that He is there.  In control, never ending, loving, righteous God!

Thank you, Lord, for all Your love and blessings on me.  Let Your waves of love flow around us all!  Keep us.  Let us realize and recognize just what we have in You.  Amen. love and prayers, Zita

God is For Us

Romans 8:31....If God is for us, who can be against us?...

God is good and I am so glad that I can say that God is on MY side.  He watches over me, takes care of me and all that concerns me.  I love Him and I know that He loves me. Rest in the Lord's care!

Hi

Like Jennifer I just want to check in and say hi.  Not much going on.  I did make Gina's dress on Sunday.  I made some silly mistakes and had to take out A LOT!  OOPS.  I did get it made though.  Sadly it doesn't fit very comfortably.  Now we know what I need to do to fit her better. (I think).  It had been so long since I made a dress, I like to never got my self going.  I thing the next one will be tons easier.

Hope y'all are doing well.  I ran by the church to see the new pews but they were not there yet so I said a few words to Jennifer and Dave and went on. 

Going to lay down now.  Probably watch a MacGyver.  Kinda hooked.  Almost finished the series though.

God is good.

Praise be to God

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me.  Psalms 66:20

What a Day!

This day has seemed soooooooo long.  The kids at work were loud and rowdy today.  I was informed my tire was low at nap so I ran quickly to air it up, the gage didn't work and only got it up a little more so after work I had to go to a different station and air up my tire which happens to be the same one that was fixed a few weeks back. I picked up the boys tonight because the weather was suppose to be so bad yesterday afternoon I had told Sharon I would just get them today instead.  Jaxon was in a wild mood.  Jordan was pretty laid back though.  Then when I took the kids home my ignition switch would not turn on so I set outside there for about 10 minutes trying to get my key to turn.  I finally called Sharon to let her know why I was still outside their house.  David came out to help me and it turned on immediately.  You know how cars do women but anyway I was glad it started.  I am pooped as Mom used to say.
With all that said!!   God is good.  I am home, warm, fed and alive.  Praise God.
Praise God Norma is better, too!!

The Lord's Mercies

Lamentations 3:22,23,25, 40,41,57b,58

Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning;....The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.  Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven. ....  "Do not fear!" O Lord, You have pleaded the case for my soul; you have redeemed my life.

Sew! Please!

I am trying my best to talk myself into sewing.  I really need to make those two dresses for Gina.  I haven't sewn a garment in years and am not looking forward to it.  I hope I can still make them look nice.  It would be awful if the lack of practice took away the experience and took me back to the beginnings cause believe me my first garments were AWFUL!!!
I have only sewn quilt tops or plain Jane curtains in a long time.
Pray I get motivated.
Please continue to pray for this heaviness in my chest and lack of air.  Also pray for Lollypop.  I need my job and we have to have kids to work.  Reduced hours and car repairs are not a good mix.
I pray everyone is well.  Peace and health.  Love you.

Late

It is late but I just can't seem to get my mind calm for sleep.  I pray all of you are having a good night.  May God grant His children rest, health and peace.
God is good.

Wait Upon The Lord

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; they shall walk and not faint.  Isaiah 40:31

Life Application Bible (KJV) note:...His strength is our source of strength.  When you feel life crushing you ...remember that you can call upon God to renew your strength.  Waiting on the Lord IS EXPECTING His promised strength to help us rise above....

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Ph. 4:13 It is not our own strength we depend on but rather God's strength.
Is there anything to hard for Him? No never.

Yoo-Hoo Job!

I know it was not long ago that I wrote a little thing about Job but I was flipping through my "Gleanings" notebook and I really like how this is worded
Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you will answer me.  Job 38:3 (NKJ)
This is God talking to Job.  Hey , think man! And He begins to remind Job just who His God is!

Taken from "Grace" by Patsy Clairmont
......
"Yoo-Hoo Job! Over Here! Look Up!.....
.....Perhaps the questions were posed to help Job shift his focus from self- analysis, despondency, and desperation to the God of all comfort.

I believe when the Lord is high and lifted up in our hearts, minds and conversations, even life's catastrophes are possible (not easy) to bear.  For it is when we realize our calamities have been filtered through the sovereign hand of the One who laid foundations of the earth, and there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- outside His dominion and endless reservoir of grace. (end quote)

Lord, please help us to look up on high from whence cometh our help!  Help us to comprehend the magnitude of Your grace and power.  Let Your praise reign.  Let Your praise be continually in our mouth.  Let it be brought forth  in our hearts and be manifest in our life.  Let the joy of the Lord indeed become our strength.  Help us to focus on You!  In Jesus name I pray.  Amen.
GOD IS GOOD!

Good Samaritan

I ran into a good Samaritan today.  I went to Little Caesars at lunch for a pizza.  The parking lot up by the store was totally frozen.  I started to just leave but I could see a few dry places and I WAS already there.  I made my way very slowly in with no mishap.  I got my pizza and started back to the car and realized that the slight decline was much harder than the incline had been.  I picked my way slowly down with my old stiff legs and had to change my footing a few times when suddenly the young girl in the parked car beside me came around in front of me and helped me past the icy place.  I was so thankful 'cause I just don't know what I would do if I fell and twisted or broke something.  I thanked her profusely!!!  (Did give me a bit of an old lady complex but I was too thankful to dwell on that)  LOL  May God bless that young girl!!

No Hot Water

Oh no.  I woke up this morning with no hot water.  Please pray that it thaws today and that no pipes bust.  I don't think I even turned on the hot water last night so I don't know how long it has been frozen.
Jaxon just got on the bus so now I'm just waiting till time for me to go to work.  I hate going to work at 9.  I have to get up to put Jaxon on the school bus so there is a lot of time between everything.
I enjoyed getting to see Glenda and Perry yesterday. 
I pray Norma is feeling better!!!!
Hope everyone has a good day!  God is good.

Just Chillin'

Snowed in is not something we are used to in this part of Texas.  It has been kinda nice though.  Being very lazy.  Watching MacGyver and eating snow ice cream.  Sounds like a winner to me. If it wasn't for my pay check or lack thereof it could go on for a long time.  But alas I need more money than I will be getting already so I hope everything is back on track soon.

Hope everybody else is weathering just fine.  I went out to clean my car off a little while ago.  I figured it would be easier to get off melty snow today instead of refrozen melted water and snow tomorrow morning.  It cleaned off pretty easy but it did take awhile.  I came back in and turned both heaters off and now as usual I am due a rest (I hope).

God is good. 

God Is Good

God is Good.  That is my proclamation for this year.  Every time I write something or pray all I can think about is God is good.

I got my car back yesterday around 3:30/4 . Praise the Lord.  It is running a lot better!  It is going to cost me slightly less than the other place quoted but they did more things.  They fixed the leaks for the water and oil.

I am going to head to work in a little while. Keep me in your prayers. 

God bless.

Calm Me

Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm.
Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.
Let all the tumult within me cease.
Enfold me, Lord, in Your peace.
Celtic Traditional  (I read this in my new journal.)

I pray it be so for all of us!!!

My Car

Well, my car is in the shop.  I pray they fix it good and quick.  It is hard for me to get back and forth to work without a car.  Today Norma and Wesley picked me up at work and will take me to work in the morning.

Keep praying for Lollypop to get more kids.  We are always low this time of year but it is really low.  I am not being able to work a full 40 hours while the kids are so low so please keep that on your prayer list.

Hope everyone had a good day and I pray you have a good night.

Happy New 2011

Happy New year ALL!!  I had a good time at church tonight.  I really enjoy singing so much.  We had so many sick this year that our crowd was small but there was a good spirit.  I thank God for my church family, for my family and my friends.  I pray God Bless you all abundantly through this year.  I pray He lead, guide, direct you  in His divine will.  I pray He keep you in health and peace wrapped in His loving arms.

God is good.  Thank God for keeping me through 2010 and I believe He will walk with me through 2011!
Praise God.
