May God be Glorified......

This is a tough post to write..

I have been trying to think of something to say fitting the situation, but there really are no words.

So I will just speak from my heart.

Sunday night, one of my good friends whom I have known for over 5 years, lost her husband unexpectedly. She is 29 and he was 30. Together, they have a beautiful 7 year old daughter, named Bethanne. While I did not know her husband well, I know Emily, and she is one of the kindest, funniest, God loving people that I know. She is so thoughtful and giving I can't even tell you. My heart is breaking for her and the pain she is going through. My heart is also breaking because I know there is nothing I can do to take away the pain that she is enduring. All I can do is ray, which is what I have been doing, almost non stop since I found out about her great loss. I ask you all to pray for Emily and Bethy. We can't see God's plan or even imagine what he could be doing taking a loving husband and father away from those who need him most, but my greatest prayer is that he use Aaron's life and death as a way to bring people to him and affect people like never before.

When things like this happen its good to remember that we take so much of our lives for granted. Good health, a safe place to live, good friends, family we love... If nothing else, please take a minute tonight to think of everything that God has blessed you with. Love your family and those close to you, and don't take people and life for granted. Tell those you love, that you love them, do it frequently, do it honestly, and never take it for granted.

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know.  Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life.  A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...
