Where does all the time go?! I fully intended last year to make regular posts, well I am going to start over and see if I cant do better this year : ) I thought when I turned 50 and 55 that those were tough birthdays, but as I am going to be closer to 60 this year than 50 I really ask myself 'where did all the years go'. I cant believe I am going to be 56 in August. In my heart and mind I am still very young with little nieces and nephews---so it is very hard to keep remembering they are grown with kids of their own and now I have a great nephew who is going to be a dad...an aunt is one special thing, a great aunt is a double blessing, but being a great great aunt just makes me feel old. ha Its a beautiful spring day, I had my second 'rooster' shot the other day with one more to go to complete my first series. I was bragging what a piece of cake the first shot was, telling everyone 'you should get these'......and then came the second one......oh my goodness, to say it was painful is an understatement, I think someone will have to drag me to the third and tie me down to keep me there. But, they seem to be helping and its certainly better than knee replacement--I will take all the time I can buy with these shots. I feel so blessed!!! I am happier than I have ever been in spite of all that age is throwing at me. I am working on loosing weight so I feel better and so my blood sugar and blood pressure comes down....and of course less weight will be easier on my knees. God is good-actually He is GREAT. I love Him with all my heart, and don't understand how anyone could NOT believe in Him. Well, I will try to make some worth while posts on here regularly, maybe share recipes with my thoughts and scriptures....if anyone follows this I hope you have a blessed blessed day

Lord you are very able to remove the tumor from Kaci....you are also able to give wisdom to the doctors involved or anyone involved so that the right thing is done at the right time for her--so the swelling goes down, the cancer is destroyed and/or removed....You are able--please Lord be faithful to Kaci and Ryan because of their faithfulness to You....Your Word says You can not lie!! So I ask You to stand by Your Word---the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the shall be healed!! Give Kaci her healing now Lord so she can resume serving you, her husband and her children. In Jesus name I pray.....amen

This is a Holy week...perhaps this week was chosen specifically for Kaci to start radiation because of the significance of the week--the beating, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus....maybe He picked this week to remind her she can do all things (even radiation) through Christ who strengthens her.
Jesus is alive!! Praise God HE IS ALIVE

I have such a thankful heart and spirit to the Lord for so many things...but in recent months it has been a stability of mind that I am most thankful mind...no more do I go up and down in emotions, wild thinking or vain imaginations....God is our mental stability if we will let Him be.
Isaiah 33:6 (Message translation) 'His center holds. Zion brims over with all that is just and right. God keeps your days stable and secure... '
Now, instead of reacting when someone pushes my buttons---I take a deep breathe, let the Lord be in control and I keep my mouth shut ....over the months I have found I have fewer and fewer buttons that people can push. He is my mental stability.
Only took me to my fifties to figure this one out---at least I finally did. :)
May you allow the Lord to bless you with a sound and stable mind.

EARTHQUAKE....IN OKLAHOMA???

What a shock, the last Saturday in February around 4:30pm there was a loud noise, my house felt as if it was sliding into a hole, my couch moved, my door was almost jarred open and the silky terrier asleep in my lap jumped up and looked around as if she was saying 'what the heck was that?'.... every time I hear we have had another earthquake here in Oklahoma I think of the scriptures about end times 'earthquakes in diverse places'.
Scientific reports on the earthquake in Chile say it shook the earth so hard we have lost a second off the length of our days, and there was a shift deep in the earth didn't slide back into place as it should have.
What does the Bible say? Will the earth rumble and open up to swallow satan and all his demons? Is it stretching the imagination to think maybe all these earthquakes are one way earth is getting ready for the Lords return? It's not hard for me to think just because some people aren't preparing for Christ's return that the earth isn't getting ready for Him.

REJUVENATE YOUR LIFE

Another beautiful day in the Lord. The sun is shining, birds are singing...giving me a hint that spring is about to burst onto the scene. Always a reminder to me that no matter how gloomy our world feels, or how dead we may feel inside--a season is just around the corner when everything in our lives will flourish again. The Word renews our mind, body, soul, and spirit...read it, think upon it, breathe it--you will feel and see the change begin to take place and just as in spring all things become new again so will the Word make our lives new...His mercies are new every morning. Thank you Lord that we don't have to wait for mercy...it's there for us daily.

WHERE DID THE YEAR GO??

It seems like just yesterday I started this blog and purposed in my heart to update it regularly and share what the Lord was doing in my life and in the lives of people around me....well, the Lord has been busy--I just haven't been blogging His miracles or His goodness. I hope to do better.
God is great!! Thankfully His mercies are STILL new every morning....where would we be, what shape would we be in if that was not so??? Be blessed today...spend time with the One who loves you most, He never leaves us, He always has time to listen--and to respond. He never says 'I am on the other line, or I'm busy I'll catch you later'....thank you Lord.
