~Neglected Blog~

O I don’t quite know why? Perhaps I have been too busy in everything, recently, to think about writing my thoughts and stuff on line!!

Anyhow, today I thought I would update it and bring any readers who visit me my latest pondering s.

Somehow, God is holding me through what has actually been a difficult time for me. I have struggled with some issues that held me back from running the race in full view of everyone.

I became discouraged and despondent with some areas in my life that I knew needed altering and changing but just could not do it.

Then God challenged me.

He confirmed plans He has for me up ahead and I KNEW that today I need to apply the principles of God’s Word to my life and see to it that no longer do I live to please me or men but for Him who has done so much in my life already.

I have found I have gifts and abilities from God, and He is using me in the capacity of administration.

I LOVE what I do for Him and I cannot boast in anything except Christ Jesus.

It is HIS Grace which has kept me from stepping back and being in a place I never want to be found in again.

Bring The Rain

~Monday Morning~

Had a great weekend.

On Saturday we visited with a Polish couple from our church. Such wonderful lovely people too! As my dh father waspolish , and sadly had died by the time dh was 3, he felt connected to them,  and in fact it was both ways.

We also have a new member to our household, by the name of Misty. She is a rescued Greyhound, an absolutely adorable blue brindle color female!

I will post pictures once I load them on pc, but for now believe me she ahs brought some fun into our lives….

Church was great yesterday, I feel challenged to take on board a ministry …whoo hoo….nothing big or in the front but one that will help others.

But for now, my week has begun and I feel invigorated by the Holy Spirit to press on and go forward….

~Today Is A Sad Day~

Amelia December 1998 - March 2008

Today we had to make a brave decision to allow our beloved pet die with dignity.

She took so ill over the weekend, that the kindest thing for her was to allow her to be at peace.

Prayers for all our family are appreciated as we go through this sad time, thanks

Today Is Friday!! And the Weekend begins!!

Well, for some it does I guess!

Anna returns from Uganda tomorrow morning and we are so excited to see her  and hear all of her adventures!

I woke today feeling kind of sombre…not sure why?

I  feel recently the Lord impressing on my heart some particular things to be doing or at least be praying about doing…this will involve some time  and maybe on others too.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  13And ye shall seek me, and find me, then ye shall search for me with all your heart.

I am praying for God to use my life in the way He deems fit and any of me to get out of the way…So easy for my flesh to get caught up in some of the assaults on my mind and not refute them in Jesus Name

 The weeks and time are flying past so quickly, gosh it is amazing!

My time in Celebrate Recovery has been so beneficial. I have the awesome priviledge to be able to share with others my testimony , not only of salvation but of what God has healed in me and continues to do so.

I have been asked to prepare myself to give a testimony at the Large Group meeting in a couple weeks and am so excited.

It is a humbling experience and one I enter into with total humilty and reliance on God. he alone is deserving of all the glory and Praise for my life. I am a work in progress.

After years of feeling hurts and rejections and massives of low self esteem..I am in a place of acceptance now. I no longer doubt myself or God’s genuine love for me. I do occasionally go through changes, am sure this won’t pass as quickly otherwise I won’t stay on knees perhaps but I look forward to that day when I can truly stand and say I no longer feel as I once did.
