Find Out

It feels like forever since I've been here. Life has been as busy as ever and there seems to be no end in sight. You know what I'm talking about, don't you. I don't have enough time to do all I want to do. I really enjoy writing here, but I like to read more and that passion is taking over. Right now I am reading 3 books and I can't get enough. I am currently reading The Vow, unchristian, and Church Shift. They are all good and I am learning so much. I really feel like God is preparing me for something big.

I feel like a sponge and I can't get enough. I just want to learn all I can and find new ways to apply what I am learning. Do you find yourself in this area? Do you pray for God to use you, do you pray selfish prayers, or do you even pray at all? Have you ever wondered what God has in store for your life? If not, maybe today is the time to find out!

Have a Blessed Day!!!

Y'all please be careful this long weekend. And remember our troops both past and current.

Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Funky Place

Where are you at this morning. I am in a funky place. I feel good, but I have such a crazy next two days its kinda hard to get up for it. Do you ever find it hard to give it all to God? I know that God cares about our every activity, but do you ever question if what your doing is pleasing to Him? Am I bringing glory to Him every minute of every day with everything I do? Most of the time I get bogged down in my job, I try and do it all myself, and I feel like selling pipe doesn't impact God's kingdom at all!

What do you do with all the thoughts that run through your head daily? If your like me - one minute its almost like you are standing before the throne worshipping and the next you are walking with the devil. It is hard to daily transform and renew my mind, because it is a constant transformation and renewing. I never get to a spot where I can say OK, no more bad thoughts or bad impulses will be coming my way. Bottom line it is getting harder and harder to be what God has called me to be in this day and time in which we live.

But, in all reality it really is not hard to be so much more; the hard part comes in when you realize that you have to take a step back and let God step up. That; I believe, is the hardest part of being a Christian. We try so hard to do it ourselves.

I feel better already!

Thank you for reading and I love this blog when I get to write for the relief that it brings me to work out some problems I am having. Most of the time I just sit down and start typing and try to let the Lord speak through me, but this morning He was speaking to me. The take a step back and let God step up was from Him this morning and I hope it helps you today - wherever you are!

By the way McDonald's has free chicken biscuits this morning with the purchase of a drink and I Love FREE.

Have a Blessed Day!!!

Happy

Hump Day Review

So a lot has happened since I last wrote. Here is a little recap for y'all.

• Root canal was expensive and it hurt. The left side of my face was numb for 4 hours. I felt like a stroke victim.
  
• Wednesday night the RA's and GA's along with the Mission Friends had a bike ride at church for the Relay For Life. We had around 16 individual wreck and 1 major Chip's style pileup. A good time was had by all.
  
• Men's fish fry last Thursday night. We had around 65 men and it was great to get together with all those men. Matt Lusk is the man - all I got to say about that.
  
• Friday night was the Relay For Life. I wasn't there, but I hear that everything went well.
  
• This past weekend I went to Santee for a golf outing with some guys I used to work with. The golf was great and maybe I'll post on the other events at a later date. Whew!
  
• Man we are busy around here. We have 4 ball games this week. Between Sid and Lillie's T-Ball games, we are never home. Zeke (our dog) sent us a postcard letting us know how much he missed us.
  
• Man do we as Christians have a lot of opportunities!!!!!! People need Jesus everywhere!
  
• I think True Christ followers are a rarity, your thoughts please??

Have a Blessed Day!!!

National Day of Prayer & a Root Canal

This morning we are having a prayer breakfast at church and we always have a mixed crowd from all over the area. Last year we had the BHP ensemble sing and a great speaker.

This year I won't be able to attend :-( I have a root canal at 8am and I ain't looking forward to it. My part after insurance is almost $500.00!! I am quiting sales and going back to school to be a dentist. Oh well, what do you do.

Anyway, I am happy (even in these screwed up times) to live in a country where we can observe a National Day of Prayer. Be a light today and share with people what this day means to you. And be glad that you are on the winning team. Share the gift, the enthusiasm, and pray for those who rebuke you.

Just Have a Blessed Day!!!
