Anywhere

In 1st Corinthians(6:19) it says Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received from God?

The angel of the Lord told Moses "Take the shoes off your feet, for the ground on which you stand is Holy ground" Exodus 3:5

That ground was Holy because the Holy one was there. Now if we have received Christ through faith in Jesus we are that that temple for the Holy Ghost.

Everywhere we go is a Holy place because God is inside of us. God is not a building for us to visit and take in on Sunday mornings. You as a believer take God with you where ever you go.

So that being said you can talk to him anywhere you are. In jail or in the grocery store he is there. In painful times or in triumph he is there.

When you realize this and allow God to be a part of all you do, of each thing you do each day this is when you see a change in your life.

I am trying to remember God is always with me so I should want to make him proud in every aspect of my life. YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM GOD...

Good Morning

When I said, My foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, Held me up. Psalm 94:18

I seem to be a "NOT SO HAPPY" morning person. I wake up ok but the second something doesn't go my way I tend to walk around with a negative attitude, for the rest of the day.
If someone offends me in the morning my anger will follow me through out the rest of my day.
I am trying to change my out look...

Praise be to God that I get to wake up each morning with new mercy, and new Joy renewed and ready to begin with a positive attitude.

THE KEY TO KEEPING THAT ATTITUDE ALL DAY IS...
Keeping my feet firmly planted in God's word. There can be no bad day when Gods word supports, and strengthens us.

Daddy's not here...

This week Josh has been in Fl on business. He used to travel a good bit but has not been gone for this long in quit a while. The first day was not so bad. The second day my youngest son Easton who is two began saying "Daddy working?" In his own little way he was asking me where he was...

We limit talking to Josh on the phone while he is out of town because it just seems to get the children upset. Carson did have one conversation with him wile he was gone where he simply asked "Daddy can you come home pleeease?"

I was forced to think of Brittany Batson and Katherine Church as I sat listening to my child needing his daddy. My heart cried as I thought of the many questions that will come in the days ahead. I thought of how hard it had been to be without Josh for the past few days and then tried to imagine how it would feel to know he was not coming home...I couldn't!

I prayed for the families this week that have suffered a great loss, and even more the sweet children of these great men!

As Josh pulled into the drive way this morning and I ran to him and held him in my arms I thought of my precious friend Amber and how I know she would give about anything to be able to do that again. To run to Brent and hold him in her arms!

I know this doesn't seem like a very positive or touching blog. I guess I am just typing my feelings with the thought in mind that life is not guaranteed. Make each moment count. Love like it was your last day to love! Live like you are not going to live another day! Whoever that person is that you love but have not told them lately let them know today!

Pray for the mothers of these babies, and for the families as they go through each day without such an important person in their lives.

Most importantly as Brad Batson says keep the main thing the main thing!

I miss you Brent and Russ you will forever be in the hearts of all who laughed with you, loved you, had you as a friend, or ever crossed your path. I am so thankful I was one of those people!
ONE LOVE

Day by Day

Well recently several people have mentioned they miss my daily blogs. I have been wanting to try to find more time to blog lately but sometimes find it hard. Not due to time but to my emotions. I am an emotional blogger. I blog when I have strong feelings about a subject and want to share something I think people might want to read.

I am beginning to think this is not what all people want from my blog. Most of what I hear is how do you do that with four kids? You should blog about your day to day mishaps as a mom. Well I never have because I don't hold myself on a pedestal because I have four kids. Some moms have more than me, some moms have children with special needs and do way more amazing things than what I do everyday!

So I am going to try to do this short daily blog of the highlights of my day each evening. We will see how many people are interested.

I thought this week would be a good week to start. It is the last day of school tomorrow, and Josh has a crazy work schedule this week so I guarantee there will be many emotions to type about this week.

I hope everyone is as productive as me today top of my to do list clean the toilets! LOL
