Prayer Blog

Hey all I need to let you know that I have been unable to get to the site for a while but here is an update. we did not find a home when it came down to it we ended up in a 29 ft travel trailer and we love it. we plan on living in it for at least a year if not longer. we hoped and prayed and I believe this is what God wanted I had other ideas and God was not agreeing with it and when the door opened after so many closed we took it. every morning I wake up and ask God to make me a better mom than yesterday and a better wife than yesterday and a better person than yesterday so I can grow and become more of what God wants me to be. I am greatful to serve God and I hope as we continue to move on that I can minister to others in need and give some comfort to those that may need it. God bless you all and keep praying

I have not been writing as often as I should but my internet has been down. I have been dealing with a huge amount of stress in my life and I think my faith is being tested and I think I may be failing the test. I heard a song today it said God is great even when life ain't so good. I still pray even if it don't turn out like I think it should.and those two lines got me to really thinking. so I need to confess that I let myself think I could handle life and I lost sight of the fact that I am only human. So Lord help me I lay this down and I look to you for my strength and courage. help me over this mountain into your arms amen.

I got this from the blog experiencing the journey the link is  http://rindy.wordpress.com/ she has a terrific blog and she got it from Jason Boucher at http://jasonboucher.typepad.com/jasonboucher/ and Mararet Feinberg at http://margaretfeinberg.blogspot.com/ it will make you laugh but it should make you think too. Enjoy! 

This is a great twist on a familiar poem:

Butt Prints in the Sand
(writer unknown)

One night, I had a wondrous dream;
One set of footprints there was seen.
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, “What have we here?”
“Those prints are large and round and neat,
But, Lord, they are too big for feet.”
“My child,” He said in somber tones.
“For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait.
You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith you would not know.
So I got tired and fed up,
And there I dropped you on your butt,
Because in life, there comes a time,
When one must fight and one must climb,
When one must rise and take a stand,
Or...

I have been in a state of mind in which I am not sure I can describe. One day I was on top of the world and I am thanking God for the blessings He has given me and the next day it all comes crashing down. I have to suggest that it was not the will of God so it did not happen. God makes things happen in His time and I was thinking It was time but, again I was wrong. although disapointment has settled in I am confidant God has something better for me. as time draws near to move I am feeling a little preassure but, I know that I am not alone in this quest for a home and a place I can hang my hat at. As long as I am willing to let go and let God I will be okay. God is a mighty God and he will carry me through and I am sure that when I come to a place in my life God will guide me to where He wants me to be. I am willing Lord mold me and make me into your perfect will. In my life... [More]

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life time some really big and some not so big. The thing I regret the most is not living my life the way God wanted me to. as an adult I look back and see what I have done and who I have hurt and realized that I probably left God just shakeing his head as He gentally pushed in a different direction. Knowing me as I do I dug my feet in and resisted that calling. Human nature is a selfish yet all to real thing in everyones life and if someone says me "I don't have that" then your lying. anyway I know that God leads but with the freedom of choice we do not always follow. I am still trying to hear that still small voice and sometimes it alludes me. I realized that growing up I treated somepeople like they were lower than me and the truth is no one deserved it. I was a scared kid afraid to show how I truly felt , afraid to see people past their skin deep inside their hearts to the soul. If I would have I would have not... [More]

It has been an eventful month. I know that it has been some time since I put anything but requests on the site. I am feeling much like a flawed human and my head is not quite focused and well I am not likeing how I am feeling. I know that going to God  is the only thing to do and I have. the feelings and emotions are all jumbled up in a mess in which God can only sort out. As I am moving forward and slowly trying to come back into reality I have hig hopes that God will come through for me. the reason behind this mess is I have been put on a different medication to deal with my Migraines and one side effect is changing in my moods. I do not like this and when it is all over I hope to be free to not ever be put on it again. God is awesome and I know he will come through for me even if I was haveing some struggles with my faith being strong enough. I am always fighting the human nature to try to fix things and I am always finding out... [More]

I have to admit that I am a complete mess. I try to live the way God wants me to and sometimes  I mess up totally. I am dedicated to God and I am trying to raise my Children to live the way God calls them to live but, I have struggles. It seems that doors slam at every turn and the frustration is building. and I keep telling myself let go and let God. My dad told me that today and he also said that I probably did not want to hear this but I am in a good place. realizing the things that are happening and knowing God will take over the instant I ask. Life is never easy and choosing to follow the heart of God can bring tests of faith so strong that trusting and believing in God is the only way to make it through. I do not have all of the answers and I won't pretend I do but, the one thing I am sure of is this. God shows me in little ways that he cares, he will send a stranger to talk to me or make my landlord an understanding one and... [More]

I have been feeling over whelmed. I am frustrated and one person in my life is making  it difficult to trust God for our situation.  the negitivity coming from him is almost overpowering. I am really trying to keep my faith but when there is not much positive around it becomes hard. I know God is in control, I know God will never be late and I know God will always come through in times of need. some encouragement would be lovely and some extra prayers too. I met a genteman at the pharmacy he seemed to radiate the love of God and he was a true blessing to talk to. I do not know his name and I probably will never see him again but I felt good after talking to him. I would love to resolve my home situation because I do not want my kids to be homeless and I am cold and tired but on the up side of things God will bring me through and all I need to do is ask  and hope to hear his voice.

Where are we with God? do we walk the way we should? how do we respond to people when they ask us a question about our faith?

these are questions I have been asking myself and I am sad to say that I did not like my answers. I am desiring to be a shining light for my Savior but I am not always. I am one that sometimes is shy about how I believe, that is unaccepable my goal is to  shout it to the Heaves that Jesus Christ is my savior and friend and to tell people with out them asking. I am not one to go up and just start talking to people. I used to be but over time I have changed.

so as this year progresses I am going to try to talk to people about my faith and ask God to lead me where he wants me to go. I am not perfect and I make mistakes but, God is in control and with his help I can make a difference.

AS I sit here with 29 minuets left of this year I am thinking about what I have done what has happened and what my future plans are. I sit here wondering what I could have done differently and then preparing to start out fresh. saying good bye to the old year and the things that have occurred is not exactly an easy task. God has been teaching me the last year and I have been (up until recently) avoiding the lessons. trust me lessons that are not wanted are like taking cold medicine that tastes horrible. I want to say good bye to my mistakes hold on to my memories and try to get past the grief that has been so much apart of my life the last few months. I am wanting to push forward with what God wants for my life and try to model my actions after Him. God is a merciful God and asking for forgiveness is something he wants and forgiveness is something he gives he wipes the slate clean. I am looking at this next year as a new slate with hopes that it is filled with good and strength and things that... [More]
