His glorious riches

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being .. -Ephesians 3:16

Was not enough interest

I didn’t tell my son, just in case it didn’t come together as planned, but his school was trying to see if enough students would be interested in having a formal dance this spring since the charter school doesn’t have traditional prom.  I thought how cool it would be to see my son in a tuxedo and we were going to make arrangements for us to get a hotel room since its an hour and a half drive away (his school) and drop him off to meet up with his online classmates and then hubby and I would go our thing and pick him up after the dance.  I was surprised to get the email today that not enough were interested in doing it.  Most of the kids from what I son is telling me, that are seniors they are having trouble getting them to attend classes and getting parents to get those hours logged.  I think its very sad.   So close to the end and messing up now?  I hope those students get their acts together.  But I know one day my son will be in a tux, when he is married that is!!

My loving God

He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliver, my shield, in whom I take refuge..  -Psalm 144:2

Right now within my own home I feel as if I am in the spiritual battle of a lifetime, and this scripture brings me comfort and I know I am not alone in this battle!

I think our television is going!

I think the television in our bedroom is going!  Its really old, but not that old seeing how it has a remote to turn it on and off, but comes in handy when your finally drowsy and ready to fall asleep, but by the time I get out of bed, walk over to turn it off and get back in bed, I am wide awake again!  I battle with sleep issues for years.  I use to just lay there in the dark and that didn’t help at all.  So hubby told me just watch the television so I been doing that and it makes my eyes tired, if that makes sense and I seem to fall asleep better.  Honestly its the only television I watch all day!  So I am thinking maybe getting one of netbooks and then I can visit television station sites and watch some programs until I get drowsy, turn it off lay down  next to me on the night stand or floor and fall asleep.  It would be light weight and not very noisy running machine wise and that would keep from keeping hubby awake.  Plus it would give me a little privacy from the rest of the family with spring coming, I could go sit outside and enjoy the things I enjoy doing online, reading and such too with no wires and what not.

Those who are wise

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.  -Daniel 12:3

As a parent we try to live my example and hope our children will shine like the stars.  This momma sheds a lot of tears and isn’t willing to give up, but is weary.

In the Garden

I just added this video shared on YouTube of Alan Jackson singing In the Garden, live at a concert.  This is one of my favorites from his CD Precious Memories.  I just love it.  I find myself many times during the day singing this.  It brings tears to my eyes just listening to Alan singing it.  I just love it!

He just won’t consider it

My dad, I wish I knew what was going through his mind.  He just won’t consider getting a life insurance quote, he just assumes he won’t be able to afford it.  Personally with what he spends in fuel alone in his car each week, I think he could cut it back a little bit and afford it.  He just doesn’t want to discuss it.  I think he is being totally unreasonable and doesn’t realize the amount of pressure he is putting on my shoulders, if something happened to him.  I just settle for enough to pay off the car loan for the car he promised he wouldn’t drive too much and make last.  He is putting 1000 miles a week on it.  There is still over two years worth of payments to go and I have to tell you its going to be a miracle if that car lasts that long.  I don’t want that car if something did happen either.  I don’t.  If you new the stress it causes day in and day out, the choices he makes over the quality of his health for that car, you would understand!

Vroom Vroom, come on!

Well apparently my daughter has a mandatory meeting to attended at work on Thursday and needs a ride there.  My hubby will be at work and has our car, so that leaves my dad as her ride.  I don’t understand if she can waste money on the stuff she does online or eating out, why can’t she call and take public transportation!  Speaking of dad, he came home with a couple promotional umbrellas yesterday, they were passing them out at the mall.  I told him to keep one in his car so when he is in and out in the rain he would have one.  I put the other one in the garage.  Not sure what happen to the ones we had but these will do just fine to hold us over until I can by a few more.

So she didn’t even ask for a ride until today and the meeting is tomorrow!  My dad gives me the look, you know the one where he isn’t none too happy and what can I do about it.  Hey tell her no, that is what I told him, but he won’t do it.  He gave her a set time when the ride home will be available until, after that she is on her own he said.  Sometime tells me I will be getting a message that she will end up hanging out with a friend.  Yeah she uses her friends too and they just don’t see it.  I do.  I see it each and every day!

All I know is come on Spring, because that means that permit turns into license and her own car!  Which will equal less stress for me!

No divisions!

I appeal to you, brothers that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. – 1 Corinthians 1:10

When I read this scripture the first thing that pops to my mind is our country, our folks in government office!  If only they could agree, find unity, but in biblical sense, the way its suppose to be, as our country was found with God, the same God they are so busy removing!

He does not fail!

Morning by Morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail!  -Zephaniah 3:5

Of all the things in my life that has failed, of all the things that I may have failed at, there is one thing in my life that has not failed, that is GOD!
