Which pain is worse is the subject of my devotion today. Emotional or physical? Like you I've faced both, I am currently dealing with bursitis in my hip. Some days I can distract myself and the pain fades into my distraction. Other days the pain sits (no punt intended) on the front burner and no matter what position or way I walk or move will ease the pain. some days I deal with both, crushing

The month of August is flying by, we will be in December before we know it. This is my second week of trying to cut back my food budget and still eat healthy. Sunday was spaghetti day, it was also family day, we shared with 7 people, spaghetti and meatballs, salad, home made ice tea, ( I am told it's every ones favorite) and great family time.) for dessert I made brownies and homemade blueberry

My goal this week, was to feed us for under $12.00 per day for all meals, Us includes myself, my husband and sending leftovers up to other family members. In order to provide my menu and how I managed this, I have to do a bit of rewind, the first week of August my husband went to our butcher and bought a 24 lb box of assorted meats. This cost $100.00, it is around this box of meat that I planned

Two years and still I am waiting, wondering why I haven't heard from Eric, I see him often in my dreams, I see photos, I find cards he gave me, its a daily mind boggling challenge. I found my flash drive yesterday and decided to see what was on it, I forgot that Kevin put photos from Eric's computer on it, I saw these two and they spoke to me, the top one is one of Eric's last trips to Costa

Read Luke 10:38-42 Seek first [God's] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. -Matthew 6:33 (NIV) RECENTLY while I was weeding my garden, I saw half a dozen sturdy yellow sprouts that didn't look like any of the vegetables I had planted. After investigating, I realized that they were pumpkin plants, growing from seeds that had been in the compost I

Praying for a better day, without the horrible adventures from yesterday would be nice Lord, but if you should decide that I need another dose pleease at least give me the strength to go without offending or sharing hostility towards the other person In your name I ask for my tongue to remain inside my mouth, and to praise you for all things

Thats my daily journey lately, who knew it would get this involved. It is exciting and stressful and such a different situation each day. I like finding rentals for people just as much as I do finding a home. It's such a great feeling knowing you put someone in a place that they will feel comfortable. This past week I was able to negoiate for a buyer, that was such a thrill to be able to talk the

Dreams make the difference between living  a life and really living a life. But some of us, caught up in the busyness of life, have forgotten how to dream. Here are some suggestions: Identify where you want to grow an then start dreaming about possibilities for getting there. Writer Gary Hardaway comments : "We must dream, because we are made in the image of Him who see things that are not and

We don't have to be far from home serving on a mission field to help others. God offers us little opportunities every day to serve someone else in some way. I pray that God will open my eyes to little acts of kindness that I can do right here and give me a loving heart so that I happily serve. Dear loving God, open our eyes to opportunities for serving you through helping someone else. Give us

Leviticus 19: 1-2, 17-18  Matthew 5:38-48   1 Corintians 3:10-11, 16-23, The words in our scripture readings that popped out at me while writing and preparing for today were Laws, foundation, temple and serving. So I thought it important to briefly provide my thoughts on each scripture reading to show how these words will enable us to live as God intended. Law, by its very definition, conveys

"I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O Lord, I will make music." Psalm 101:1 (ESV) Devotion: God seems to do an incredible amount of things for people, almost like a personal valet. "I found the perfect pair of shoes on sale," someone once told me. "It's like God knew I needed that little boost." Or the time that God helped another person find their glasses. They prayed and "

Eternal RebirthMay 25th, 2010Tuesday’s ReflectionTHE PROOFS OF ETERNAL REBIRTH are everywhere. Spring comes every year. Dawn comes every morning. Love happens out of hate. Birth absorbs the pain of death….To the Christian, both the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus we see as proof of God’s will for the world, and in the Paschal Mystery the demonstration of the cycle of struggle.- Joan D.

This is related to the book of HabakkukThe details of our days are different, all who've approached God in prayer can relate to Habakkuk's feeling that God's ears appear deaf. Like us, Habakkuk wrestled with God in prayer. He questioned at times God's silence. When God withheld what Habakkuk wanted he negotiated for a partial settlement. When God said no, Habakkuk took matters into his own

I am sitting here listening to Joyce Meyers, she has a way of getting my attention. She mentions that there are two types of people in the world. Those that wait for things to happen and those who make things happen. I don't see myself as the type that waits for things to happen, I am the type that makes things happen. Although my willingness to make things happen for the most part can be a good

Today I decided to actually list some things that in the past few days I actually was thankful for.Friday, I had off, and other than some activity around the house I didn't do much.

Perhaps not having helping hands to figure out what to do with the stuff is also part of my crappy, cranky, nasty mood.I took the day off today to get some things fixed, organized and sorted.

The title of my blog is to have faith in all circumstances, that's not always easy. When your struggling daily to accept the fact that a child you gave birth too, is no longer on this earth. You see photos, you see reminders, just the other day I found his birth certificate in my draw. You think and know you gave birth, you see the photos you remember his voice, his touch, yet he is not here

Moses said to the Israelites, "I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live." Deuteronomy 30:19What does it mean to you when you have the choice to choose life or death?How often are we put into situations where the wrong choice could mean the latter, we find ourselves on a path of right or wrong. We know the right choice

Of course he is probably getting tired of my rants and outbursts but it is what it is.Thank you for always supporting me and giving me fuel for thought.

I am really torn, hurt and confused, For over 5 years I was an active member of my church. I was and I think still am a lay speaker, I have preached, had bible studies, sent out Christmas cards to each and every one of both churches for the past three years (over 250) sent out numerous encouragement cards, birthday cards, sympathy cards weekly to whomever was on the prayer lists, and well

add vodka, stir and drink-oh yes that I like. God doesn't give you more than you can handle, but at some point does he think He is funny, can you just picture him standing above, dropping load ofter load, watching you fall deeper and deeper into the mud. All the angels and saints drinking their coffee having their morning laugh... It must be like reality tv to them. I do hope they are getting

Great weekend to do things around house, get paper under control, bake or organize closets.Also a great weekend to watch movies and snuggle under warm blankets eat junk food and then suffer the consequences from eating the junk food> LOLI did watch The proposal on Friday, it was good.

What is a believer to do in times of darkness--a darkness of perplexities and confusion-- a darkness not of the heart but of the mind? These times of darkness come to a faithful and believing disciple who is walking obediently in the will of God. Darkness can come in seasons when he does not know what to do or which way to turn. His sky becomes overcast with clouds, and the clear light of heaven

I can't believe October is only two days away. Before we blink we will be celebrating a new year. Today I am sad, I didn't wake up sad, actually I was fine, but without any warning, without any blinking lights, and without permission my mood goes from up to down. That's the way its been, I function, I do daily activities, heck some days I even have fun, but there is always that aching feeling,

Pay Attention to today. "Do what is necessary-here and now." The compliment you mean to give, the time together you keep putting off, the resolution of an old pain you yearn to talk about but haven't got around to-these are the things to attend to, before its to late.

As I write this I have a feeling the tears will flow, good thing its not paper otherwise it would get all stained and muckyThis has been a rough week. First there is much needed work to be done at the temple with the High Holidays and can I just say the usually nice, calm, level headed lady that I usually work with was replaced by some overstressed, emotional demon. WOW is all I can say I am glad

I had to include this photo, just as Scott began to take the photo I gave my mom a rasberry. See how proud I was I am the baby of the family can you tell? My two sisters and I and my mom, we were having lunch for all our birthday's. My moms bd is Sept 6th, mine is the 5th, and my one sister in the black shirt, (barbara) is the 12th. But wait, Samantha's is the 6th, my niece in NC is the 6th,

so in celebration and because I am such a proud mom this post is dedicated strictly to her ---Samantha is a gift from God to me. You see, after I married Samantha's dad in 1985, I got pregnant with Adam, Adam for whatever reason was born without any lungs and he was also born as what they call dwarfism. He only lived for a month before he passed. About 3-4 months later I got pregnant again. In

It's really weird some days I have to remind myself that Eric is gone. I guess that is the brain protecting me. Yet there isn't an hour that I don't think of him. I called his cell phone yesterday just to hear his voice. I wish he left more than just saying his name as his message. Sleep doesn't come easy actually I find myself falling asleep and then waking up moments later. I don't think I have

That's what it feels like, I am stuck in a time warp. Life is moving, I am moving but where am I going? Life just feels like a big bowl of emptiness.Yesterday was a relive it day, Samantha posted on her face book page "she didn't want to be Samantha anymore" well that just renewed all the anxiety and scared feelings. Everything surfaced and boy was it ever painful. I was at work and trying not to

Sometimes you get a little whip cream and cherries to make it better, but otherwise is Sucks!One of Eric's dogs passed away at his house last night, we had him at the vet yesterday and nothing eluded to this, Not sure how much more myfamily can take, I am really getting tired of the line "Life must go on" as Ido understand that but at what point can you just say "F--- it all"!And that is all I

I spoke to a grief counseler the other day, I wanted to sign up for this 7 week writing course. She said it was too soon. That most people wait for at least 4 months for any type of counseling. I wonder why? I would think the sooner you explore and wander through this emotional roller coaster the sooner you can get to the other side. Is there another side? The past two days have been hard, not

This is bullet and lemmy, they are so sweet and loving, really really big lap dogs. I have no clue what to do with them, no one in our family can take them as they are really big and not sure how they would be around young children. But sweet and loving is an understatement. Unless you are a rabbit, squirrel or other four legged creature. Gosh what things we have to do to fix all of this mess

This is a photo of Eric at sixteen and Samantha at 4, she was starting preschool.. I always thought this photo was cute because of the differences in heightsA couple of months before Samantha turned 14 I wrote to all the friends and family that knew her, I wanted to make a scrap book of comments, advice and thoughts to give her on her birthday.This was from Eric, he didn't actually type it, he

yet I am not. I am in survivor mode. Some say it will take a year before you can even start to feel again. A year, no way I can't live like this for a year. I can honestly say this is the absolute worse feeling ever. It feels like the part of me that gave birth to Eric was ripped out of my soul. The tears come, there is no rhyme or reason. I just know boxes of tissues will be bought and kept in

This started out as a good day, I was still visiting in North Carolina, although we stayed in Virginia. We had found a church within walking distance from the Hotel and my two sisters and I decided we would attend the 10:30 service.

In this chapter, Jesus is pictured for us as the True Vine. I am imagine Jesus and these men going through the darkened streets of the city and then passing beyond the walls into the surrounding countryside.

You always provide, as long as we are faithful Teach us to give all our troubles to you Lord, Hear us Lord as we pray, Thank you

The Scripture readings today speak of several things, repentance, to turn from evil ways, to reexamine our behaviors, actions and deeds. God wanted Jonah to preach the word of God to the Assyrians, and Jesus wanted his disciples to follow him, In Corinthians, Paul is preaching to the people that to be a Christian you need to be rooted in the everyday concerns of this world, but not to be

In our current passage, Romans 13, Paul brings our attention to what love will not do specifically and providing us with both motivation and the means for living in love.Lets go back if only for a moment to our recent weeks of scripture. Romans 1-11 Paul was laying a doctrine foundation –laying the groundwork so to speak, in Chapter 12 he is challenging his believers to show action based on the

We have the wonderful promise that when we pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us according to the will of God.I did not write this but thought it worth sharingI Asked GodI asked God to take away my pride.God said,"No. It is not for me to take away,but for you to give it up.""I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.God said,"No. Her spirit

Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.Corinthians 9: 7-8A few days ago I sat down to pay my weekly bills, money is tight as my DH got laid off last week and we

Laughter is a gift from God that brightens our good times and lightens the rough ones. Laughter even has a healing quality to it. People have recovered from serious diseases by learning to laugh each day.Proverbs 17:22 says that a cheerful heart is good medicine. Laughter can draw others to you and lighten your load in life. When you begin to laugh at life and at yourself you gain new

The past few days were hectic, I am always running. For me to relax and unwind sitting in front of the television was my medicine. Or was it? Or was it like any other addiction a subsitute for what life really has to offer. What does life offer, the chance to grow to live, to give and to be happy. So why do I always feel depleted, tired, ready to give up and give in to my addiction.

When does life get back to normal, or is this the norm? When do I get a maintenance me day?

The best part of this weekend, watching the meteor shower with my grandson and my husbands niece, sitting in the darkest field we could find, bats swarming over our heads and just watching the sky. How awesome, I didn't exactly know what I was looking for as I have never seen a shooting star, but when I saw the flash of light go across the sky I was like a little kid. I actually screamed look

Not really sure why I am writing a blog, I don't even have time to write emails. so for the past few days I was thinking what is the purpose of my blog, what message do I want it to portray. Do I want humor, self image messaging , words to the wise.
