  • I'll pass

    After having come across something on the main site of Xanga, I don't think I'll be keeping this blog.  Looks like it's time to look for something else.  (that's if I want to keep this up anyway.)

  • back

    Tonight, I updated my facebook profile and realized I had this blog listed.  I came to check out previous posts and realized that I had forgotten about this again.  See, the thing is, I've started journaling by hand at night when I do my devos, and that leaves very little time for writing the same thing here.

    In order to again catch the 'world' (ie no one) up on where the Lord has brought me thus far...

    1. Read Romans 5:5 and then Hebrews 6: 9 through the end.  I feel the Lord repeating over and over that He has given me a hope, and that I'm to cling to that hope, and allow it to be the anchor for my soul.

    2. (Related to the above): There are 2 promises (hopes) I feel the Lord has given.  And He recently confirmed them, however, He has also shown me that the time for these 2 promises to be fullfilled is not now, but in a period of time.  He gave that time frame to me, but I'll keep that between Him and me. ;) thanks.

    3. I began teaching a Women's Bible study on Wednesday evenings, and recently we moved from a video series to myself actually teaching.  It has been so wonderful.  The Lord has taught me 'exceedingly, abundantly' above anything I could have imagined.  I can't wait to see what He teaches me next.

    4. We have recently leased a new building for out church here in Greenwood.  And we are now called Calvary Chapel Circle City.  This weekend was remodeling weekend and we hope to be in the new building by March 28th.

    5. I decided that I was finally going to learn guitar.  I've always wanted to but always thought that was more of a 'guy thing'.  But on my recent visit to New York my view was changed.  After only a week, I know a few chords and can't wait to be able to use these to help lead the ladies on Wednesday nights (we need the help).

    I hope that you find yourself listening to the God of this universe.  All He wants is good for you, though it may not look that way.

    Grace and Peace.

  • Fooorrrrreeeevvvvveeeerrr

    Unfortunately, it's been forever.  Been too busy to update a blog no one reads. 

    Events have all changed, attitudes have had highs and lows.  But in the end God has always been faithful.

    Rather than typing out all that has happen since November of last year I'll just start with today. 

    Today has been a great day.  I should be exhausted because I stayed up talking with Papa and Bea until 1am, then didn't get to bed until 1:30am.  But the Lord has given supernatural energy today.  I'm so thankful.  I have Bible study tomorrow night.  We are doing The Way of the Master (WotM).  I'll need to do my homework tonight.   Life is good, trials bring a change in character and teach perseverance.

  • odds and ends

    - Had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family and church family.  And I got a great call that made my day that day.

    -Not feeling the best right now.  I'm not sure what's wrong, but I've been having quite the array of things wrong with me for the last 2 days.  I'll spare the details in case anyone is squimish. :)

    -Have to go to my adopted families Thanksgiving tomorrow.  I'm not really looking forward to it.  But I'm asking the Lord to go before me.

    -Lots of trouble with my biological family.  Found out my mom has COPD.  Papa says in some rare cases it can be genetic.  But my biological mom has smoked for years, so it's 99% that it's from that.  The worst part is Papa said it's a horrible disease where you feel like every breath is your last.  :(   I don't think my mom knows just how bad it's going to get.

    -All in all, God is challanging all that I think I know and asking me to once again trust Him.

  • Are you out of your mind??!!!

    So, I have biological family that lives in California.  I am not especially close with either of them, but they are still my family.  And I love them, even with our differences in social skills and education.  I'm even ok with having differences of opinion with them (this is bound to happen with anyone).  But it is a whole 'nother thing to call and tell me that you are going to put a hit out on my MOTHER!  And they expect me to be ok with that?! 

    It would be one thing to call and say this in a time of frustration, without true intentions.  But it was clear that this was not something they had any intention of backing down from.  And on top, of that they called a day later to remind me of our conversation from the day before and inform me they were very serious about their intentions. 

    The first day I tried bring some logic to their idiocy, but quickly realized that was getting nowhere.  And then they swiftly hung up on me when they didn't hear what they wanted from me.

    And so, when they called again today to remind me and inform me of their dubious plan, I finally gave in to what I had been wanting to say from the begininng, "You are allowed to have your own opinions, but please do not call me again to tell me you are going to have my mother killed."

    Oh, by the way, you may be asking, who are these lovely people.  "They" are my half-sister and her fake husband.  So this man is saying he is going to kill MY MOTHER and his MOTHER IN LAW!

    No person in their right mind would actually be thinking something like this purely because they had an arguement with someone and were now upset with them.  We all get upset, that's part of life here on earth in these earthly bodies.  But we must overcome our anger, biterness, and shear insanity in the face of these kinds of trails. 

    Truely, this whole situation is unfathomable to me.  I can not wrap my mind around it.  Not only am I dealing with loosing a dear friend and aunt last week, but then I learn my sister (the same one mentioned above) has lung cancer, and then the conversation turns to this.  Give me a break!

About Me

  • I love life. I have bad days the same as the next. But I'm thankful when God chooses to give me another day to try to glorify Him. I love to talk so if you're bored... or not, feel free to stop by my little corner of Xanga.
