When I Awake my Thoughts are of You Lord!

And At Night I am still with Thee!

Thank you dear God for being so big and wonderful that you can occupy my thoughts in the morning when I wake and in the nighttime when I go to sleep ~ two fabulous times to turn my thoughts to you, Lord. If I focus on You during the most vulnerable times of the day and night I will be able to bring my day under the control of Your love and Your everlasting Peace Dear Lord.

Thank you for being there for me when I wake up and when I lay down to sleep! You are ever-present, always caring, always there for me dear God.

This is my prayer: Keep me always in Your thoughts. Thanks Lord!

Birthday Fun -- We Spend Every Year Together

These are my best girl friends. We have been celebrating our birthdays together for over twenty years! We started on our 30th birthdays!

Every year we meet at our favorite restaurant and celebrate. Two of us are born on the same day in June. The other two in July. We have so much in common. We rehash the past year: it's joys and its sadness and rejoice that we have made it to celebrate together again!

The surprise: All of these girls are my very best friends. Over twenty years ago when we began our yearly celebrations they had never met. Think of all we would have missed of each others' lives without these get togethers! Happy Birthday everyone! :)

God is in Control

I have been experiencing stomach pain for over six months. Sometimes to the point of near despair. Without my faith I would have despaired. What I have requires vascular surgery of the stomach, because of the three main arteries bringing blood to the digestive system is 90% impinged. This lack of blood flow is causing a great deal of pain.

I have faith, an excellent surgeon and am proceeding on the week of April 6th, with the prayers and love of family and friends behind me and the Lord going before me.

I will be in the hospital for 5-7 days and have a 6-8 week recovery. This is no small thing, yet the Lord of the heavens and Lord of my heart has given me perfect peace.

Thanks God ~ you are in Control!

Romans 8:28 and More!

Our Victory In Christ: Romans 8: vs. 28 "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose, vs. 37: But in all things we overwelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. vs.38: For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, vs. 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Joy Inexpressible Full of Glory: The Lord Shared!

Joy Inexpressible...I Peter 1:3-9 Women's brunch, long-time believers and friends, we give God the glory in our lives and in our friendships. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,4) to obtain and inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,5) who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7) that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ: 8) and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9) obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls."

The Lord is still a girl's best friend! Psalm 139

"Oh Lord Thou has search me and known me,
Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my path and my lying down; And art intimately acquainted with all my ways, Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all.
Thou dost hast enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Thy hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it." Vs 1-6

"Search me O God and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts,
And see if there be a wicked way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way." Vs. 23-24

Early Birthday Party before the big Game!!!

This family time was dedicated to my daughter. I'll put a picture of her in too. I'm sure there's one on the other side, she was probably on the computer :)! We had a birthday dinner for her on January 16th to coincide with a hockey weekend for her and her friend Teri and her dog Spunky who were down from Duluth. Her birhtday was really January 30th. She didn't mind. We had a wonderful time. We always do!!

She will soon be down again for the March Final Tournament for WHAM (Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota). If you have never seen good women's hockey you are missing out. It get's a big rough at times, but is basically a skating, not checking game and you see a lot of beautiful skating a stick handling out there with the puck really sailing across the ice. Poetry in motion, truly. Don't miss it if you ever get to see a good league of women's hockey. Especially with my daughter Abby in goal!

Blogs, the Lord and my Faith

Writing in blogs are a wonderful way to bring Glory to God in your life! You can express your self and the things happening to you with freedom and give credit where credit is due. For the past six months I have been suffering with terrible stomach pain and my friends and family have been praying for the doctors to diagnose it and for me to be healed one way or another. The doctors finally figured it out, but it required such a tricky surgery they delayed it while I kept a pain log. No one wanted to operate!

Well I have kept my log and my condition has improved. No one has expected this. I see my doctor and my surgeon this week and am eager and to see that they have to say. I have faith that God could easily finish the good work he has started. I am waiting to see what they will say.

"They that wait upon the Lord will renew their faith they will rise up like wings like the eagles! They will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint -- teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait."

Psalm 21:1-6 The Favor of God

vs. 1) O Lord, in Thy strength the king will be glad, And in Thy salvation how greatly he will rejoice!
vs. 2) Thou has given him his heart's desire
And Thou has not withheld the
request of his lips.
vs. 3) For Thou dost meet him
with the blessings of good things;
Thou does set a crown of fine gold
on his head.
vs. 4) He asked life of Thee and
Thou didst give it to him, Length
of days forever and ever.
vs. 5) His glory is great through
Thy salvation,
Splendor and majesty Thou does
place upon him.
vs. 6) For Thou dost make him
most blessed forever; Thou dost
make him joyful with gladness in thy presence...
vs. 7) For the King trusts in the Lord,
And through the lovingkindness
of the Most High he will not be shaken.

Excerpts from Psalms 19 and 20

Ps. 19 vs. 1) "The heavens are telling
of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
vs. 2) Day to day pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge."

(God reveals Himself in His creation...everyone gets a chance to believe in God.)

Ps. 20 vs. 4) "May He grant you your heart's desire. And fulfill all your
counsel!

5) We will sing for joy over your
victory, And in the name of our God
we will set up our banner.
May the Lord fulfill all your
petitions."

(The Lord God delights in his
children and loves to answer
their heart's desire. Getting
your heart right before Him is
essential. He desires to give you a victorious life
where you know
no defeat from evil or
life events that can weigh
you down. His banner
over you is Love!)
