Sounds...

I am sitting at my computer, listening to my children play the Wii with my daughters friend...I love hearing them talk, and play together! Made me think - I am so thankful for all the sounds around me...my children talking, the wind blowing, the dog barking, the TV sounds...but I also love the sounds of silence(isn't that a song?). I can commune with the Lord - in silence...and hear what he is instructing me to do and say! now it is quiet - humm wonder what everyone is up to? Oh getting drinks...Thank you Father for my hearing...that I can hear all that is going on, and that I can hear you. Help me to remember to take the time to commune with you....

New Beginnings....

This life is hard...But God is Good -- All the Time!! This has been a very tough year for me...but not only me...my family, my friends, even my ex! Yes, that's right I am single - and that is scary! It is not as bad as it could be ~ I was able to find a place to rent...and am working on myh budget (with the help of friends) and trying to stay on task. So that I can raise my credit score, and be able to buy a small house for myself and the children.
I have found that I have inadvertantly been self-absorbed. How can that be...I had always thought of others before me - I guess I had realized what a mess I was in and that I needed "me time?" Well I let it get to me...and overwhelmed myself...and struggled with Depression...I finally feel like I am coming out of the cloud; as it were. I spent 2 hours Reading God's word this morning...trying to give it all back to Christ! This life is a gift from a loving God ~ I want His will over mine.God has been with me throughout my life; He has seen me through tough times, good times, and will be with me til I see him in Glory! So this life...it may not be perfect but it's my life...And I am living for Christ Sake!
