A SHOT AT MODELING

This weekend Kerry and I worked on her Mom's Christmas present which meant I took lots of pictures of her. We had a lot of fun and Kerry has finally realized that she is pretty. She even made the comment that she really could be a model! Awesome. Praise the Lord! Her self esteem has grown so much since Feb. I don't care what anyone says, I am a good influence on her.

This spoke to me before today

November 7, 2008. It is not easy accepting a new leader for whom you did not vote. You highly preferred someone else. Now that the decision is made, you can show your faith in Me even stronger through praying and believing. I can use My choice as I choose for My purposes. My ways are not always your ways and My thoughts are not always your thoughts. I have a purpose to bring repentance and to remove Godlessness. With you and others praying, I can do even more mighty things for your benefit. I say again to you, put your faith in God. Believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.Proverbs 21:1 “The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

November 7, 2008. You have been attacked by the enemy, but you have not recognized it. If you realize it right now you are catching it early, that is, if you do something about it. Stand against the attack. Declare the cross of Jesus, the shedding of His blood in death, His resurrection that publicly defeated the devil. This is the way of defeating the attack. Sometimes you do not address an attack, and by lack of action on your part in effect you are denying the importance of where the source comes from. The devil is recorded in Scripture as walking around as a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. Take this seriously. Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

On Oct 25, 2008 Kelly and I hosted Kerry's Sweet 16 Birthday Party at MawMaw and Poppa's house. We started early and ended late. We had a beautiful but cold day. Kerry and I decorated while Kelly and Daddy smoked the Boston Butts and the Bologna. (Yum-O) After decorating Kerry adn I ran home to get dressed and started picking up the guests. Ariel met us at our house. We picked up Matthew and Jasemine. Once we arrived back to the party, Kelly adn Uncle Dale started the bonfire while ran up to the house to get the food. I took Kelly's truck, as I got out of the truck, I slammed my hand in the door and broke my hand! What me get hurt??? You gotta be kidding! LOL!
I tuffed it out through the entire party and even helped clean up, of course by the end of the party, my hand was hurting so bad, I enlisted the kids (guests) to help. Bad hostess I know but I was hurting soo bad! Kerry played matchmaker at her party, she got Danielle and Matthew hooked up. It was soo cute seeing them holding hands. Awe, young love!
Everyone had a wonderful time!
After we got back home adn everything unloaded, kelly adn I went to the ER while Kerry crashed at home. She had partied too much! At the ER they said I just smashed my hand. On Monday I went to the DR and it's broke- hairline fracture- to me that's broke. It hurts like a MUG!!!

Judgement & Serving

What the Lord Is Saying Today

November 4, 2008. Someone close to you is returning to destructive personal habits. They did so well in overcoming. They have received much acclaim for their accomplishment. After all the praise and affirmation is over, the same habits have returned. It has bothered you. But what you have not done is to pray for the person. Now that you have this judgment of them uncovered, repent and begin praying and watch Me work. My judgment is different than yours. Mine is founded in mercy and grace to continue allowing the person to make their own choices while also revealing a better way through seeking to lead them by the Holy Spirit. Prayer makes all the difference. Romans 2:1 “Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.”

November 4, 2008. I was raised in a family that did not serve the Lord. When I found the love of Jesus as a teen ager, I decided at that time to choose a husband who loved and served the Lord. I have never been sorry for that choice, and now my whole family serves the Lord. We are in Peru today with our granddaughter who is a young missionary here. The Lord says, “I have called you to make some important right choices ahead of time. Do not wait for the pressure of the moment to choose which way is right. I have good things ahead planned for you in your right choices.” Joshua 24:15 “but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

10/28/08'S BLESSING

What the Lord Is Saying Today
October 28, 2008. There is someone whom you need to love. By your standards, they do not deserve the love you know is required from you. You are wondering about the next step. Could I just share My heart with you for a moment. My love is unlimited and without boundaries. This is a love worth having. It is imperishable and unspeakable. Share it and give it in outlandish generosity. To share My love is to share Me because I am love. It is the core of My being. Therefore when you share My love, you are actually sharing Me. Humble yourself and grab hold of My grace within. Open the great river of life and love you hold inside. Let it gush forth and flood your situation. John 3:16-17. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins so that judgment would not come to those who believe and they would inherit eternal life. He did not come into the world to judge the world but that through His death on the cross believers would be spared.”
October 28, 2008. There will be an unexpected contact. Someone is coming on the scene you do not know. Don’t dismiss this. I have sent them your way. You won’t know why they are there until later. You can make the decision whether or not they will stay. It will be evident as you go along if they are to remain. The reason for this is to teach you to walk in wisdom. If you seek Me with a willing heart, to obey at every juncture, I will show you what to do. Do not rely on your own understanding, because there are things good and bad revealed. Trust in Me in this adventure.Psalms 37:5-6 “Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday.”

TODAY'S BLESSING

October 21, 2008. My hand is upon you in good times and bad, in fires and floods. Your tenacity and endurance have caught My attention. In difficult times you have consistently continued to the finish line. When sickness has come for a visit, you cling to healing until the victory. Many times you could have whined like others but instead you found a way in your heart to give Me thanks while believing for the best. In the end, over and over again, you have prevailed over your enemies because you truly believe they are also My enemies and that I will prevail over them. This too has blessed Me to see you, My child, be the overcomer of each assault. Now you face the biggest battle of all. You will prevail! Isaiah 43:2 “When you go through the sea, I am with you. When you go through rivers, they will not sweep you away. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not harm you.”

October 21, 2008. You have been carrying concerns on your shoulders that you need to be sharing with someone else. You have wondered if they will understand what you have been going through. I know you understand not to tell everyone, but you need to tell someone. Tell the one whom you know prays. This is the one who will not take up an offense with those you are having a hard time with. This is the one who can give you good counsel, and will take part of the burden off your shoulders, so it will be easier to carry. It is tolerable to have the burden, but better to have it shared. Galatians 6:2 “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”

HOOKEY

Wednesday, Kerry and I played Hookey. I took her to the OBGYN to get more meds and then we picked out her birthday cake at Publix's. We later went to Goodwill to shop for her Halloween costume. She stared sout wanting to be a vampress, then a snake and finally a witch. Hopefully she will stick with witch. I also got Kelly 3 pairs of really nice jeans. We at lunch at The Chocolate Covered Strawberry. OMG.... It was so good and filling. If you are ever in Gallatin, you need to eat at The Chocolate Covered Strawberry. It's a sweet little tea room like atmosphere that has the best sandwhiches and desserts. You need to go!
We also went by my work so she could meet everyone. We then went to Dollar General to get candy for her party favorites. They are boxes with her inital and filled with candy. I am getting excited about her party. I hope we have a good turnout.
