said so

I grew up with my parents doing the "because I said so" ore "I am the parent, you are the child", so I vowed with my kids I wouldn't do that. I haven't. I have said, "You are not a Mommy or a Daddy." Last night Ele was upset at bedtime. I finally got out of her that she was scared I was going to leave. Then, after talking a while she said that she was scared I was going to die of cancer. It broke my heart. I explained that God performed a miracle and I had no more cancer. I kept saying that no matter what God takes care of us. I repeated it over and over, one time I said that he either heals us or we get to go to heaven. I explained that when I was her age I worried the same about my Daddy, without the cancer part being involved, he had said we can't worry about those things. I wanted to express to her that God takes care of us. She seemed to feel a lot better about all of it. I asked her if she was scared anymore and she said no. I asked her why she wasn't scared (wanting her to say because God takes care of us, so I would know she had gotten it), but she says, "because you said so"! Well, I guess you don't have to say it if it's always implied. Have a great day and weekend yall!

God Bless!

mouse

A girl I work with's daughter was in the Mexican resturant eating when she felt something lick and nibble her foot. She looked under the table and saw...yep you guessed it....a mouse. She screams, kicks the mouse and looks and the mouse can't run...she's broke it's leg. So the waiters got the mouse, and she got her meal for free, but she couldn't eat it! haha! Moral of the story. Wear shoes in that resturaunt, cause the food may be raw. haha! Couldn't resist! Have a great weekend! God Bless!

yesterday and today

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY late to the Cuz! I can't believe that I didn't say it yesterday! She is being teased that she is a lot older than what she is so just for her Happy 49th Birthday Charla!!! haha! On another note it was Vic's Birthday yesterday as well and I know I blogged that her Dad was doing better, but yesterday morning in his sleep he lost his battle. I know it is true that they are better off, but it is still hard on the family. Please pray for her and Vanna, and the entire family. Aunt Shirley made it to WV to see her Dad who is holding strong. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and their families. God Bless!

strength

Some days we don't feel as though we have the strength to do much of anything.  To get up, to eat, to not eat, to fight the daily battle of traffic, work, or relationships....why?  Mainly because we lose our confidence.  Our confidence in the ability to "handle" things.  Remember the verse: "I  can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Phillipians 4:13.    We have talked before about how we are not alone, but we have not discussed how the devil attacks our confidence in the ability to achieve.  The ability that when we are doing what the Lord wants we can accomplish it through Him...not alone.  Repeatedly through the Bible God says that he will not forsaken us for he is with us.  If you have a doubt about something, first is it something that God wishes, second if it is then know that the devil is in play...including the attempted breakdown of your inner strength.  After you realize that keep telling yourse...
