God Issues

I subscribe to a daily email called God Issues. Some days it is just what I need to hear.

Seems lately, I should've opened more of these.

It's not that I feel God has left me, I just don't know what He wants me to do. I'm sure sobbing and crying over the split with  my kids is not quite what He had in mind, but I can't get past it. This has been going on for over 4 months. And a wedding looming in the near future, which is causing even more problems.

I'm at a loss.

Then in the midst of this, Tracy's birthday is Thursday. She would be 33. This week it is hard to realize that. She was 8 and a half when she died. Some years I deal ok. Others-not so much. This is an Other year.

Would you hold me up this week?

Hugs.

Children-
Love of life.

Children-
Sunshine of smiles.

Children-
Anger with age.

Children-
Hurting the heart.

Children-
Gone for good.

Children-
Come home.

Children-
Love of my life.

May you have many worries

I was cleaning emails today. Just hitting the down arrow to see what was next. Here was what was next:

Tiny Buddah: May you have many worries

It hit home. I worry about the bills, work, school, the kids, the kids fights, the grandkids, friends, my mother, etc. Get the picture?

This story reminded me that I have today to do with the best I can. I can love the extra time God has given Michael and myself. I can love the times with the Grands. The blessing I have of working with Layne. Be thankful for the massive amount of yelping I receive when I walk through the door after work. The fact that I am not doing well in school is nothing. Let it go.

I am blessed. Aren't you too?

Hugs!

Friends

I subscribe to the email. I love the sayings and stories.

Books, books and more books

I found this amazing book, John's Story, The Last Eyewitness, from the Jesus Chronicles. It is the first book. There are 3 others in hardback but Matthew's Story is only in hardback. This is the story of John and his life. It is great so far.

I have 3 books going at the same time and this one is the one that is the first for me to pick up.

The next one I pick up is this one: Praying God's Will for Your Life is very good also. Totally different kind of book. It is a slower reading for me. Honestly, I get the studders when reading this book. I'm a control freak. I want to control everything. My life, my kids lives, my job, etc. This is a turning it over to God book. It is a hard book for me to put into practice. I am working on it.

Let Go. Let God.

I know when I do, things are much, much better. But I keep closing my fist and holding on. So I sometimes have to pry those fingers open and give it up.

Let Go.

Hugs!

Not mere coincidences

I ran across a book in a dollar store the other day. Since then I have bought and passed out 8.

This book is called: When GOD Winks at You by SQuire Rushnell (and no that is not a typo!)

Coincidences according to this book are "similiar to when you are a kid sittin at the dining room table. You look up and saw someone you loved looking back. Mom or Dad or Granddad. They give you a wink."

"What did that mean? Probably--Hey kid, I'm thinking about you at this moment. I'm proud of you. Everything is going to be all right"

"That's what a Godwink is"

It's a great little book. Not long and it has short stories about Godwinks that people have had. If you come across it, grab it. You will be blessed.

And just remember, there are no coincidences, those are Godwinks.

Hugs!
