FB or HB

So, I was thinking... Facebook..the place where people let others see the part of themselves that they want others to see.. Am I like that? Do I present to others a Face I want them to like, or do I let them see my heart..The real ME.. the part, that after 50+ years of growing-thru, I still am a work in progress.. I think we should have a HB- heartbook..where you can show/tell others the you they SHOULD know.. the part that is growing and expanding and learning and.. and...and...That is what a testimony is..what GOD is doing in your life right now .. this minute, this day ...your past is your history..your story-not your testimony..
SO what is GOD telling you today? Where is HE leading you? What area is HE expanding or decreasing? Do you feel growing pains or just groaning pains? What part of you is HE killing today? It is never easy to grow-thru these... but the end result is so worth it.. The new you will be AMAZING!!!

thinking out loud again !!

Do you ever step back and stand in awe of GOD? Some days even more than others it seems. Today is one of those... HE IS AMAZING... the people, the timing HE crosses our paths. When HE prompts you to call someone or drop them an email, do not hesitate...LISTEN with your heart...You never know when or how HE is using you to be HIS hands or arms for someone. Just a little obedience on your part can really be a thing in someone-elses life. I'm just sayin'....

What's that I smell?

Todays SoS: Be still and KNOW that I am GOD!!!! As I have stated the being still part is HARD for me. But that is why we are here for one another...PRAY for me to sit still..No wiggling, no jumping up and down scanning the horizon..Just sit and rock and wait and KNOW that HE IS GOD!!!>
So I will sit, I will rock and I will wait, but you must smell that faint piggy smell right... I DO!!! GOD IS FAITHFULLLLLL!!!!
Watch for me on the porch rocking and waiting. Will you join me....

Prodical Mom

I think I must look at things from a different angle than most. In pondering the story of the prodigal son, I think it was good that the father was the one involved. I can tell you if it had been the mom..she would not have been patiently sitting on the porch "watching" for his return. That mom would have been out scouring the country-side. She would have been "texting" all his "friends" to find out where he was and how he was. Was he eating right? Pig-food you say.. No not my boy...here take him the Sonic coupons? You mamas know what I mean dont you. It is so hard to let your children "find-themselves" .. It would be so much easier if they would just let us tell them WHOSE they are and save them a lot of time and trouble. I guess too it would have taken him alot longer to get to the place GOD wanted him...hmmmmm
Well I guess that is all I want to say about this subject FOR NOW!!! Look for me out on the porch :)

Just thinking out loud!!

Why is it so hard to put in words the things you think and pray out all night? God and I had a special time this morning. He told and confirmed many things in me. I feel a seed has been planted and growing and I anxiously await the birth of something new. I even have part of the process worked out in my head, but now to put it in words "out there" it seems hard.
I have s "sister" who is struggling in Africa. She has been sent there by GOD to do a good work. She is doing what I once dreamed of doing. She trusts GOD to supply all she needs, but she has made known a need she has. She struggles with the decision to ask for help. I read her blog and GOD tugged my heart. I thank her for sharing her heart and her need. Until "we" know there is a need and put a face to that need.. it seems to big to even try to help. I can not save AFRICA, or feed the multitudes there or tell everyone there about HIS great love for them..so it would be useless to try...BUT.. I can send what little I have to offer to someone who is there, added to the little someone else has to offer added, to the little someone else has to offer ( & NO it is not a typo - I am multiplying myself) WE can...
So can you help.. Does the face and testimony run into the heart of you. God showed me how to get it done -- the I can't but HE CAN- drive. If you would think about one of the pleasures you enjoy ( weekly *bux - monthly pedicure) or whatever and would set aside that amount (weekly or monthly) and designate it to help .. I know GOD will bless our effort and combined will meet her NEED. Below is the link to her site. Would you take a look, but beware it will put a face to the need. and you will be hooked. Blessings to you!!!

Another Example of BIG-GOD

The other day I had one last contac left to use. New ones would be here in a couple of days. Well when you cant even see in the mirror to "paint the barn" a couple of days is a loooonnnngggg time. But I did have one last...oooppppsss where did that little booger go..I am searching the sink, the floor, the little black dog that sits constantly at my feet, No contac..Now what...As I am sliding into the "what can I do" mode.. I think -WHAT CAN HE DO???!!! I think a prayer and I look up.. to my surprise there glistening like a diamond in my spiked hair..is the little lost contac... Now how??...I dont care what anyone says I KNOW MY GOD LOVES ME and cares and take care of the most intricate details of my hectic life...IF I let him. :)

What a GOD I serve.

So, I dont know the god you might serve, but I hope and pray HE is the one TRUE GOD.
The One who is so loving and kind and cares for the smallest details of my life.
I went to a local resale shop Thurs and saw a really nice coffeemaker, one I had looked at numerous times but couldnt afford. I wanted to purchase, but they only took cash and I didnt have enough. SO I left somewhat thinking NO WAY it would still be there Monday (the first time I had chance to go back) Sure enough Monday it was there and ON SALE for 1/2 the price. Yeah GOD. After stopping at HEB to purchase the special pods it used (decaf even so I could use it right away) I got home and started cleaning it up...OH NO a major part was missing. I got on line and downloaded the instruction manual that had parts listed. Emailed customer service and was told parts were available. Thought to myself-before you BUY the part..go back and just see if somewhere among the piles of stuff at shop, the little part may have gotten separated from its family. Today I went back and asked permission to rummage around and see if I might recognise the part...SURE enough there it hid in a bin of ktichen gadgets..LOST is now found. I thank you GOD for even the smallest smiles you shine down to make me realize what a BIG GOD you are...I pray you know this kind of GOD...ONE who CAN and WILL!!!!!!!!!!!Are your eyes open to see the things HE does in your life everyday- I pray so.
