{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD-REASON FOR SEASON

As the Christmas season approaches I have found myself getting in that frame of mind of being "overwhelmed" with my list of things to do! How about you? Of course I am one of those species that worries about not getting a full nights sleep too! You know...you worry about not sleeping so therefore you are already anticipating that you won't sleep! Yeah, I know...crazy huh? I found myself in this same frame of mind yesterday except it was with my calendar! The more I looked at the dates circled for events, shopping, parties, meetings and etc. the more I found myself becoming overwhelmed! I kept thinking, "What can I give up? I've got to attend this event and go to that party or parties....I've got to do this and that and well I finally just closed the calendar and began to pray and ask God to speak to my heart.  After I had prayed I decided to google some poems for Christmas so I could share it with some of our ladies at church. Boy or boy does God have a ...

Wednesday in The Word: Prayer

“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results”                  (James 5:16; NLT). Living in a fallen world we deal everyda y with hurts, needs, sickness and more. Sometimes our hearts are so overwhelmed by the many needs of our family and friends. We must carry these needs to the Father in prayer. He is the ONLY one that can truly heal a marriage, restore a family, heal the sic k, a nd turn the impossible to possible. May we be diligent with our prayers. May we seek Jesus in all things.  I love what Charles Spurg eon said: "We need to recognize that our spirit needs prayer like our body needs food!   Prayer is the Key to all things!  Let’s commit to spending more time in prayer today! Make sure you don't allow the enemy to rob your time to pray — for it's in prayer that we tap into God's unlimited power that makes demons tre...

Wednesday in the Word

  Today, all I ca n say is WE MUST TRUST GOD! 2 Chronicles 7:14 New King James Version (NKJV) 14  if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  Psalm 4: 8 (NIV) “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety”. Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) 2  fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God .    Hugs and blessings, Cindy
