off

I'm off this week folks, so I'll blog as I can. The main thing though is that we need to pray.
I have two MAJOR prayer requests....First, Holly's Grandma passed away Saturday night. I had the pleasure of meeting her and speaking with her. She was a very lovely lady. Please pray for Holly, her family, and especially her Momma.
Please pray for Jess' friend Ann. She has been battling cancer for sometime now. There are many things that people could say to her and to Jess, many things I can say. I have tried to think of different words of comfort, but my mind keeps going back to, what when summed up, got me through. I like to say my kids, because that is the most obvious in my mind, but what got me through my sickness is what gets all of us through every day. Wether that is getting through a work day, a family members surgery, an in general difficult expereince, an awkard situation, the loss of a loved one or friend, or the final trip home...it is FAITH. The faith in knowing that God gets you through, he carries you and he is ALWAYS with us, that is the promise he made.
So, to all of you.....hold strong in the promises of God, remember what we were taught in Sunday School....."For thou art with me..."

God Bless!

Na-

I loved seeing you face in the paper this week! It couldn't have ran at a better time. A lady that I work with got a call on Thursday from her daughter that she has cancer. Not real sure on the name, but they are going to try to do surgery to remove it. I sent your article home with Lillie to give to Gina. I told her that if anyone knew how to fight- it was you. I also told her that God is so much bigger than cancer!!! Thank you for being such a blessing!!!

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...
