I am Back...at least for today

Hi All,

This has probably been one of the longest spans I have gone and not wrote anything. Sorry about that.

A lot of changes have come into my life as of late and I have been trying to keep up with all of them.

First off my daughters two older boys are coming to live with us... so that will bring our family of 4 up to 6 and we are excited!!! It was a real miracle for my Daughter and us! Anyway we needed to find a bigger house to fit us all and then another miracle. We found a bigger house!
It needs a lot of work and elbow grease but we are plowing through and getting it done little by little. The Lord may have given us a great house but He is sure letting us know we are going to have to work for it. But it has been a good work and very fulfilling. I have been painting ceilings and now I know I am in much better shape then I thought. I can still move!!! HA! We still have floors to fix and more cleaning and painting but once it is through it will be a great house!!!

After the past few years when it felt like nothing was working for us... and truthfully we all felt pretty done in and discouraged it seemed the Father finally said...'Enough!!!'

We are still on a major faith walk..... working on this house is being done by faith... my daughter looking for a teaching job is by faith....serving the Father is all by faith!!!

Sometimes we get very discouraged... sometimes we wonder if He is even listening at all. But one thing I do know is that through it all I could not let go of the belief He was in control and He had a plan.

When it looks like the planet is ready to implode working on a house may seem trite....however, We still have to live on this planet. We still have lives, we still have business to tend to. We still have things to do for the Father. We can not get so caught up in what could happen, what might happen and forget to live the life He gave us to live. I sometimes forget that myself.

If dooms day should arrive I can not stop that... but I can love the people who are around me and keep on keep' in on doing His work and living life to the fullest as He gave it to me to live.

One thing I realized in my Hospice work is this.... The Creator gave us life and He put that desire to live until the last breath. He put it into us to fight to live and to realize what a gift it truly is.

We may have an afterlife... but this life is very important and we should not forget that. It is a gift and everyday we get to live it is a gift.

I should have been dead if I went by the standards of my childhood however, I am not dead. He chooses the moment of our birth and He chooses the moment of our death. We choose how we will live in between.

Well I have to leave it at that today.....

Have a great life !!!!
