I was on my way to an Ladies event last night at church & was running late.  I only had 20 minutes to get ready & my boys were all arguing.  My husband was not going to be home for an hour and thirty minutes.  I was so upset.  I threw on my makeup, threw my hair up in a clip got the boys all settled for the moment & out the door I was.  Thank the Lord for deoderant & smelly good spray.  I drove to the of the street and ; there was the most beautiful seen.  The sun (which hasn't been out in days)  was shining on the top of a bunch of trees.  It was glowing  of yellow, orange & red.  It was so beautiful I had to just sit there a second & look at Gods beauty.  It was like a rainbow after the storm. 

There are some days I feel God is so far away.  I know He will never leave me.   But oh how I Love & treasure the days when His Holy Spirt is so strong on me!  I can only imagine what Heaven is going to feel like!

Debt

Today is a good day. We sold our truck 2 weeks ago so that we could pay off some debt we have. It has been a long 2 weeks. The banks had to hold the money for 5 days because we didn't have the money to cover the check. Well when the 5 days passed the money was not in our account. We were scared thinking we had maybe been scammed. But later that day found out Jeremy didn't sign the back of the check. So we then had to wait for the check to be mailed back & we're praying it would come before the 29th or it would be no good & we did not have our truck. Well God is good it came on the 27th we got it in the bank on the 28th however the bank had to hold it for another 5 days. We were frustrated but thankful it all worked out for good. I was able to pay off some credit cards this morning. Sure I miss my pretty white truck but it was just a truck. I know God is going to provide us with a vehicle & knowing that debt is paid off makes us happy.
God reminded me this morning that He sent Jesus for all of our debts! It is available & it is free to us. All we have to do is ask, no waiting for five days, no signature, no hassle. How awesome!

Lord thank you for your Son Jesus who paid my debt for me! What amazing Love!

Peace

Last night we had a horrible storm come through here. It woke up my husband up & he couldn't go back to sleep. I was awaken with him getting up & down. I asked him if he was alright & he said his chest was hurting. I could tell it was freaking him out. I ask him if he thought he needed to go to the hospital & he said no I just need to get my mind off of it. He tried watching t.v. & the computer but they were both down from the storm. So I said have you prayed he said already did. Well then I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to pray for him so I grabbed his hand & prayed quietly. Well that was all good but I felt the Holy Spirit say anoint his head with oil & pray out loud. Oh wow I'm not comfortable doing that. But I wasn't going to say no so I got up turned on the light got my oil & took a deep breath. I anointed his head & began praying for him out loud. With in minutes he was asleep just like that. No t.v., no computer just the power of God. I began to praise Him for strength for me to do that & for the Holy Spirit to work like He did. My husband said this morning as soon as you were done praying I fell asleep I said I know. I praised God again for showing my husband the power of prayer & the power of the Holy Spirit. God is so GOOD! What a blessing!

Psalm 29:11 (New International Version)

¹¹ The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace.

Living for Him

When we trust Him & let go there is FREEDOM!!!!

peace

This is such a sweet worship song. No matter what kind of day we have had. When the kids are in bed, the house is quiet we are quiet He is here. We belong to Him. I am amazed at the peace & comfort I feel just thinking about Him. When I call His name He is here. He has been all day.

My tongue

God has really been speaking to me this week about my tongue. It amazes me how it can be used for good or bad. I can choose to praise with it or I can choose to use it to curse. I can choose to build someone up or choose to tear someone down. I can choose to use it to speak life or I can choose to use it to speak death. This is something I struggle with. When I am speaking to my kids. When I've had enough & trying to handle them. I'm reminded this week that how & what I speak to them is how they will handle others as well as their children in the future. God has shown me this week that it goes beyond my tongue on why I may say or react the way I do. So my prayer is that God will continue to show me the things that I need to change & submit so that He can continue to change me. There is life & death in the power of our tongue.

Proverbs 12:18 (New International Version)
18 Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 15:4 (New International Version)
4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.


Proverbs 18:21 (The Message)
21 Words kill, words give life; they're either poison or fruit—you choose.

Proverbs 18:21 (Amplified Bible)
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].(A)
