Today has been a wild ride again.  Last night I eat food I know I can't have but did so anyways because it was here and I had no self-control and need list to say I was up all night very sick, throwing up and well other things as well.

     Reminds me of the Israelites they became very discontent and started complaining and they missed a lot of blessing... Self control is something I have never been good at but I with Gods help will be working on it this year...

      Why is it that we want what we can't have or we shouldn't have? Why is it that we trade what is good for us for something that most of the time hurts us....?

       I chalk it up to I want what I want when I want it.... and whith God that is no way to be....  

       So what are you doing in your life is stopping blessing in your life.... ? 

But be sure to fear the LORD and faithfully serve him. Think of all the wonderful things he has done for you.               
           1 Samuel 12:24,
 Samuel reminded the people to take time to consider what great things God had done for them. Taking time for reflection allows us to focus our attention upon God's goodness and strengthens our faith. Sometimes we are so progress- and future-oriented that we fail to take time to recall all that God has already done.               
 Remember what God has done for you so that you may move ahead with gratitude.

Have you stopped long enough for reflection. or are you so busy that God is on your time schedule? 

I have struggled with busy time for a long time, I am learning how to slow down and realizing that not everything has be be done today.

Where it is tough for me is the house. I like a clean house but with kids and a husband it does not stay the way.    So I am always busy trying to clean and telling them they have to take their things up to their rooms, instead of enjoying play time or reading with them or just plain listening to them.  Not that having a clean house is a bad thing but if it is all I am thinking about then that is bad. 

So how can we as people learn what is enough and then what is to much?     

Thank you God for teaching us...

Generations:   What a wonderful thing God created...

Three generations are shown in this picture.   What blessings come from learning and growing with each other..

You may be able to learn something from any person but when a child learns something from a father or grandfather is just means something special...  Something that will last a life time and memories grow from this encounter.

Just like what we are to do with our heavenly father, we are to read and learn from the word of God... The love a joy he has for us is much more then we can imagine, When was the last time you read or even picked up your bible?

When I look at what God has done in my life I am so thankful. He has brought me from such brokenness to a life full of peace and happiness..

I met my husband 16yrs ago in Oct and my life has not been the same since. When I met him, I never realized how much my life would change, some for the good, some for the bad but all of it was for my good.  God had plans to change me and he needed Darryl in my life to do it..

My love for God and for Darryl has grown so much through the year. I thought at times my heart was going to break in half or just plainly come right out of my chest but God showed me how much he loved me and I came through a stronger women..

So for my first post I am thanking God and my Husband for what I am calling PEACE.. in my life
