The Little Things!

How Blessed I am, how the Father Loves ME, His daughter!

I want to give you all a glimpse into my day at work. I work for a Home Hospice group I have been there almost 2 years (wow how time flies). Those that are not familiar with Hospice, Hospice is a part of the health care program where the patient is usually given 3-6 months to live and on occasion I will get the poor soul that waits on this program for 1-2 years. I have never had anyone longer then 2 years, but it is getting close. Now I drive to the patients home and take care of there needs ADL's. I will on busy days have 8-9 patients and drive over 100 miles a day, that has change (Thank God) since we got more employees. I will still have that many, but I have not had to drive that far since the summer. The patients ages range from 23-93 years old with terminal illness some suffering badly others in a unresponsive state feeling nothing! It is a very hard job, but I know I am to be where I am at this time and I love it. Although saying you love your job when people die daily kind of sound a little morbid but trust me I am not! To be able to visit and get in a very personal position with stranger and more then likely walk with them during that very hard time in there life is a true BLESSING!

I have placed pictures on here from a day I drove to Rockwood to care for a wonderful lady. And I was overwhelmed with Thanksgiving, how He gives you ALL you need when you need it.

I have been over whelmed with a great Blessed week I have needed a certain tooth fixed or a long time now and it got to the point of there is no way I can go any longer with it the way it was. I went and had a root canal Wed. morning and that was straight from God to be able to go in there and pay for it. REALLY! I mean mouth work goes so untreated for many reasons, well mine was because I had no way to pay for it. I was in the position of OK I should pay rent or get my tooth fixed right. And I must say during this almost year of pain I finally at the last few days of my nerves being in tact I said loudly and firmly to the Lord (although HE knows all you must ask). I HAVE NO way of getting this fixed Lord but it has to be so Daddy fix it. GRIN! guess what that next day money came through to fix it WOW~! And get this while I sit there getting this wonderful root canal I got a text form the Blessed person that helped and they had been Blessed beyond words that very day. OM GOODNESS, its 7am and I am about to jump and scream that still excites me so ! He is so good. Now I am sure you are like OK God came through but that happens on occasions. LOL! No it does not we need to ALWAYS remember ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM THE Lord! Yes all good things that means honey if you woke up in the morning and your house wasn't burning to the ground or all your kids are safe healthy in there beds. If you have running water or a warm house (or cool) if you have a church that you can attend and worship freely YOU ARE BLESSED! If you can breath in and out without oxygen and your not taken tons of pain meds to get you through your last few breathes on earth. And you know what even if you don't have any of those things mentioned above you are still alive cause you are reading this and you STILL have a chance to have one more moment to talk to JESUS! What Grace and Mercy we have been given don't let it fall at the waist side jump in there and get ALL HE has for you! I promise you He has MORE, just when you think you can not get anymore of Christ or you have went to the deepest of your relationship dig some more and you will be surprised at what you will find. HE will leave you standing in aw, and if your driving get ready to pull over. Open yourself to Him and let Him do what He wants I promise you will not be the same.

God is Good, I dare you to find 3 things that are good today, just look at something and say is this good or bad, and if you find its good Praise the Great I Am for it and see what happens.

James 4
1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?[a] 6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."[b]
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

You spend a lot of your time praying and asking God for the things you feel you need or sometimes things you just want and it does not come why is that?

Dont Quit

Lets Always remember Who God is. He is the King of Kings the Great I AM! God is the same God that is on the throne that spoke this world into creation. He can do ALL things! And He hears you and see the depths of your heart. Please Take this as some encouragement!

DO NOT EVER GIVE UP! He wont EVER give up on you!

Please enjoy the second song of my heart!

When things go wrong , as they sometimes will.

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.

When the funds are low, and the debts are high.

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit,

Life is strange with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out.

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you can never tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you re hardest hit,

It's when things seem worst

That you must not quit.

Say No~

I totally believe I can follow my life with songs of worship. God has shown me and so graciously given me a song for each season of life I have been in since becoming a Real deal Christian (definition of that one to come in a later blog). I have many playing in my heart at this season of life. I will post the many that are there but the one that is sticking out to me is Slow Fade by Casting Crowns.

• When I first heard slow fade I was on my face at the truth behind it. Then I heard the story that brought the song to life. The story consisted of the scripture Psalm 1 How Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in His law he meditates day and night He will be like a tree firmly planted by stream of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement. Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
  
  
• Be careful what you do where you go and what you say, there is always little feet following. I loved to be around my big sister when I was younger up to teenage years. Even though she had her first baby at 15 years old. She was the best, to me the problem with that is I saw nothing wrong with what was going on in her life. Be careful little feet where you go cause its the little feet behind you that is sure to follow. Even though I waited 3 years longer then her to become a unwed mother I still followed. When flattering leads to compromise the end is always near. The things you do today directly effect your tomorrow, choices are made and a price will be paid when you give yourself away. Please hear these words if I can get through to one teen or single women, mom etc. I will have done my job. There is not a man in the world that is worth giving your life away, if he is that special to you then wait and see. I promise you waiting is so much better then giving in to the flattering.Blessed is the one who does not walk stand or sit in the seat of the wicked. Single moms every where get up and stand and show your strength in the Lord. You don't need that man you found in the bar or in the whatever. All you need now is to allow God to send you that Godly Man that will be who you need him to be. Do not allow yourself to fade away, you are a Princess!

Ok I Am on!

Ok, I realize I am kinda following the crowd with the blogging. I have no problem following when the crowd is a bunch of Jesus Freaks. I do not have serious skills in writing and will not even act like I do. I am excited to be able to find the time to get a few thoughts and ideas down. I do enjoy writing but that does not mean its a gift of mine so. Hope I am some entertainment at some point to you.
