What a difference a day makes

Had one of those pity party weeks and glad it is over. I was overwhelmed with life and I realize now it was just LIFE! B-U-T it was not the life I wanted or imagined. It was a week of sorrow and pain and hurt for friends in my life who were and still are hurting.
I feel better this week but my friends are still dealing with all their issues... illness, death of a loved one, sorrow. I see now how I am allowed to feel better so I can be more help to my friends and encourage them.

A real miracle happened this week in the middle of all this... a grandbaby that was wanted for the last 15 years was conceived by a couple and then they found out that it had a tumor on it 's neck. Prognosis was not good...After many prayers it was born and the tumor " practically fell off" and surgery was done and baby is fine. Nothing short of a miracle...

so Sunday comes and I am in church- Praise God I can just go and hold my hands up and give it all to you. Worship! It doesn't get any better than this.

Wednesday I have my daughter coming with grand daughter Brinley and I am going up Iowas to get Collin and Lily. Collin has day camp through MPCC and I am so happy that my grandkids are loving this God that is so good to me and everyone I know.

Praise him - all blessing will flow.

Today will not be a good day, or at least this morning. I am saying goodbye - a final goodbye- to a friend that I have had for over 25 years. He fought a good fight with cancer but it won. I hate that. He was only 62 and not old enough to be gone from here.
But really are we ever old enough? It seems like there is always more that we would like to do or day or experience before we go. What is even stranger "I" have no problem looking to my last day but I just don't want my friends to go before me. Pretty selfish HUH? :-)
That is why this site is so helpful.... I now see how silly I am.
So Mike - I hate that you are no longer her and in this world but I am so glad that you are in heaven -with 2 good strong legs again and a body that is worthy to be in the presences of a KING!
I await the day I join you!

does this work

I am hoping that I finally got the blog thing right..... I am really struggling- not just with this but things that are happening in my life right now. I -myself am OK- it is just so much illness and death around me that I hit a wall.
I do realize that is one of the hazards of having so many friends, at some point there is going to be issues but right now I feel unprepared to handle it. Have you ever felt like that? I think today I am going to get on my knee and really pour it all out to God and just feel....
Looking forward to tonight as I join a new bible study group that has been together for quite some time. Pray I feel the bond and hear the words I need....
Blessings to you today!

a fight

Did you ever try to do something and have it go wrong? Did you get frustrated like I am now? It seems that the devil is having a hay day with my techie stuff this week. While trying to make a new site it won't let me get to where I want to go and takes me off on a path I did not want to be.
I know -patience-- but that is so hard. So is life don't you think? You start out on a path that is familiar and then before you know it you have gotten so side track and off the familiar beaten path that you hardly recognize yourself or what you set out to do in the first place.  I am so guilty of this at times it seems. This is where I find that I turn to god and say--- Help ME!!!! and you know what he does. Ask and you shall receive.
How easy is that! Blessings to you this day!
