Good morning everyone. Today I am doing a little better than I was yesterday. I was in the hospital with my grandmother. She has been ill and not doing good at all. But let me tell you how good God is. If you did not know about Jesus you need to go look for him now while you can.
My grandmother yesterday was was showing positive signs. Now today was going to be a critical day and so far so good. I came this morning with a positive attitude because yesterday she was moving . Although it was small gestures, they were huge to us. She is so tired and we are so selfish that we want her here with us instead of allowing God to do his will. She is such a fighter. I never really had someone accept me for who I am without being judge before. She has never pointed fingers and has never disrespected me like a lot of my husband family do. This lady is the closest to me having a grandmother.....
Pray for my family please... For strength at our time of need.. And we really need.......I will keep you posted...
Living life with God on my side and the challenges of today.....

A not so healthy trip......
Hello everyone. Today is a beautiful day. God be the glory. I hope we are able to enjoy more days like this.
I was called the other day and was told not some healthy news. I have family in Virginia. My grandmother is ill and things do not look so good. Anyhow, I had to pray very hard.
You see , we have to learn to ask god to guide us while we become selfish and ask to keep us in his hands wil we grieve. Although she has not passed, she is of age and is not breathing by herslf right now...
I can not really talk about this situation right now, jst needed to ask for prayers for my family to keep us strong and allow God to do his will..

A Good Joke..... The Lawyer Vs. the Cop.....
Good Day everyone...
I ran accross this joke at our bi-weekly publication. Always a free paper to inform our community of what is happening around town. We are all so greatful for that.
The Lawyer Vs. the Cop
A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Jersey cop. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has better education than any cop from Jersey. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the cops' expense.
The cop says, " License and registration , please."
" What for?" says the lawyer.
The cop says " You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
The lawyer says, " I slowed down. and no one was coming."
" You still didn't come to a complete stop," says the cop.
" Licence and registration, please."
The lawyer says, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please! " the cop says.
Lawyer says, " If you can show me the legal difference betwen slow down and stop, i'll give you my license and registration.; and you give me the ticket."
" That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the cop says.
At this point, the cop takes out his billy club and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slown down?"

Strike, Strike , Strike
Good evening to everyone,
I have a lot to be thankful for this day. For starters my life and second my family and third my job. You see as of yesterday my company was going on strike. We had until 11:59 pm to get a tentative agreement that both our union and our company will agree to. As of this morning there was no agreement reached. I was very nervous, although our right to exercise a strike would have protected our jobs we would have no salary coming in. Not a good time to be on strike. That was in the minds of a lot of people that are sole providers of their homes. It took us to be told how much one ceo of our company received as a bonus this fiscal year. It was stated that this particular person made in bonus alone 12.8 million dollars. Now a company that is in dire straits and can not afford to give a decent contract to their employees does not have the money to pay out this kinds of bonuses to anyone. Keep in mind that this was the bonus of only one ceo. There sits about twelve. I was not as upset as I guess other people were. The ceo works just as hard as I do and got what he deserve but, in that same perspective I had prayed that he can see that we as well work as hard as he does and deserve our compensation too. But God is wonderful I tell people all the time. He put the right people in place last minute and our negotiating team was up all night and half through the morning to get us a contract that we can live with. We need help with health coverage. I have to pay almost 60 dollars a week in health coverage for myself alone. Not including a 20 dollar co pay and 150 dollars each time I see the emergency room. Our hourly wages will increase this year and our pensions will remain as is. So that is good for us. I am still fairly young and far from my retirement age but I know that by the time it is time for me to retire, there will be no social secuirity for me to collect. That is why our pensions through our jobs are so important.. All I know tommorow I have a job to go to and I want to thank my company for negotiating and cinsidering us after all.

This is a joke " Double Blonde Joke"
Praise the Lord today people... How is everyone? I hope you are all well in health and fortune...
I read a joke in one of our town free papers and want to share with you... Here it goes.
" Double Blonde Joke"
A blonde female police officer pulls over a blonde gal, in a convertible sports car, for speeding. She walks up to the car and asks the blonde for her driver's license.
The blonde convertible driver searches through her purse in vain. Finally she asks, " What does it look like?"
The blonde police officer tells her, "Its that thing with your picture on it." The blonde driver searches for a few more seconds, pulls out her compact, opens it. and sure enough sees herself. She hands the compact to the blonde cop.
After a few seconds looking at the compact, the blonde cop rolls her eyes, hands the compact back to the blonde convertible driver and says' " If you would have told me you were a police officer when I first pulled you over we could have avoided this whole thing. "
Don't mean to pick on the blondes. I just read it and thought it was funny.
I also read a trick to do and it kills me to try to prove it wrong, but I can't. See if you can..
All you do is while you are sitting at your desk , lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now while doing this, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there is nothing you can do about it..Let me know if you were able to do the opposite...

long commute....
God be the glory...... Is all i want to say after a long commute. I never realized how horrible commuting really is. I have a at least 2 hour drive in front of me everyday.:(
So I loose 2 hours of sleep in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I love what I do and have been in my job a long time... but I wish I can find something closer to home. I feel like I ne er enjoy anything that I have worked hard for... Then I stop to think nothing is mine. God gave me a gift through Jesus so that through him I can stand here today and
complain to you and rant a out the small sacrife I make for my family and the blessing of my home but, like most people I do not choose to remember the big sacrifice Jesus made for me..
So as I sit on this bus that's hot and stinky going home in traffic and I absorb the
beautiful world we live in, I will just say thank you Jesus and enjoy while I can.....

Babysitter for the Grandchild
Omg, today was a big mark in our lives. Our grandaughter had her first babysitter outting. Let me explain. We have always been around to watch our grandaughter while my eldest daughter goes to work. Someone always has been here or we all take turns in watching her. She is use to family only. As we try to look at our schedules we realize that no one is going to be able to watch Jenelle in the morning. We are all busy in the morning and no one left to watch her. Time to look for a babysitter. My good friend Nancy happen to be available to watch her. So thank God for that, but we did not know how our grandaughter was going to react. She has never really been socialable without us being around. She knows Nancy but has never really been left alone with no one. She only needed to be watch for two hours but for a child that is not uise to being without her immediate family that is a long time. Needless to say she is only two..
Time to drop her off. Can I tell you that we cried more than she. It turns out my grandbaby made us look like fools. She remember Nancy and was happy to go with her... But you have to understand we were like parents dropping of a child at school for the first time. I cried for all my kids. And it seems worst for my grandkids.... How crazy????

Forgotten Virtues...
Hello to all. I hope today you are having a blesed day and all in your lives is well. As for me I can not ask for more than I can chew.
I do not know where to begin so excuse me if I babble a little. Letme start by saying Happy late memorial day. Long weekend for me. I had 2 barbeques . I managed to be off on Friday. Said a little white lie that now I am suffering the consequences. This is why I do not like to lie. I told me boss that I had a personal matter and would like to take a personal day on Friday. He said ok. I had no real reason to be off with the exception that I just wanted some time away from work. I should have just said that but, instead I said I might have to go to court. Why did I lie??? I do not know but here is my punishment. I go to check on my hours of pay to ensure that all my hours are there for my pay period. This is my paycheck we are talking about and guess what....... NO PERSONAL DAY PUT IN..... So now I am not only short one day but two because if you do not work the day before the holiday you do not get pay for the holiday.... See why I do not like to lie.
But I had fun on my days off. I usually commute to the city which is about two hours everyday going and two coming and was very happy not getting up so early. Back to my days off. Saturday did nothing but clean. Sunday went to two church services and a barbeque. and Monday another barbeque.. Thought I would have had more rest but, busy me always on the go did not know when to quit and just stay still.
There have been some storms and tornado watches around our area these past two weeks, nothing compare to that in Missouri... I still pray for them and I am petrify of the thought of something like that coming this way. See there are some states that are more use to certain natural storms and our state is not.. We are use to snowstorms. Give us 20 inches of snow in one day and we will survive. You will see all of us continue our day like itwas nothing going on outside and it was just another day in the neighborhood. Give us lots of rain , fog that we can not even see the trees ,lights or anything else outside and we can get around like nothing but, tornados and hurricanes no can do. We are not equipped for something like this. I am afraid of all the danger it could cause. All the lost lives it will leave behind.
On another note remember these forgotten virtues. HONOR, PURITY, LOYALTY, INTEGRITY AND GRATITUDE......... These things are forgotten in today's world. It is something that we should try to live by and most of us do not even know the meaning of half of these. God bless you all and pray for me as I will pray for you. Till next time...

Walking in faith and not by sight...
Hello my family in Christ. I hope that all of you are in strong and good health. I want to thank you for taking the time to read my post and tell you that I pray for you and love you because you chose to love me first. This is straight out of the bible where it states that we love God because he loves us first.....
I had a good day at church on sunday. I have been attending this new church and it has been very uplifting. My kids actually like it and they have daycare services for the little ones. My grandaughter loves it by the way.... It has been hard to take her home because she does not want to leave. I guess she is playing with kids her age and they have a sorts of things for them to do.
The segment that I have been attending this month at this church was called Masquerade. It had a different message that was given by this pastor every week.
Part 1 was Hiding from God. It shows how we all try to hide from God but do not realize he sees all. In the bible in the book of Genesis, it was known that Adam and Eve hid from God after they ate from the apple. When God called Adam he was hiding behind the bushes because he was ashamed. I believe he was regretful of what he had done and not so much the fact that now he has realized that he was naked.
Part. 2 Self Deception: I am number one for this. In life when someone asks us how are we doing we tend to pretend everything is ok. Even to ourselves.I have a bad habit of not admitting to anyone when things are going wrong. There was a saying and it reads " Th longer we view ourselves through a distorted lens, the more likely we are to believe a distorted truth"....
Easy way out of self deception read Psalm 139 :23-24... It reads per the KJV bible "Search me o' God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Second Listen to others and listen to God as he speaks to you through the Holy spirit. And three change your way. Confess to yourself that everything really is not alright. Ask others to pray for you. You do not have to tell anyone your personal business but you can ask someone to just pray for you for strength.
Part 3: Hiding your sins..... This was one of my favorite part of the 5 part series. We all believe that just because we did not get caught doing something , we can hide that sin. When we sin we only have to choices. One is to conceal our sin and the second is to confess our sin. Remember in Proverbs 28:13 it reads that He that coverth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. We also read in Psalm 51 where King David was discover for commiting adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband killed so that they can hide that sin that they had committed. He wrote this Psalm to God asking for mercy and forgiveness, and it reads " Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. " It does not matter when you sin as long as you confess to God and ask for strengthening.
I will continue with the rest on my next blog. But it is meaningful to me and I just wanted to share this with you. Hope to write to you soon. God bless everyone.. Have a great day ...

A Joke for you
I am so sorry that it has been so long since my last entry. I want to say that all , I hope that you have has a blessed month and the best in health. I do not know about all of you and were you live but here in Pennsylvania we are overwhelmed with lots of rain. I am just grateful that we are not flooded like those other states. It is such a tragedy to see. I just feel like I have to pray harder for these people that are loosing everything but as a true christian I believe that God will provide them with something better than they originally had.It's the blessing after the storm.
On another note, I lost approximately 7 pounds (YEAAAAAAH).
Today is the 20th of May and about 22 years ago and 36 hours of labor later, I had a child. My first born daughter. She is 22 today. It is helping me see all the years that I have been under God's protection. Happy Birthday Jessie.
A Joke for All
This is suppose to be a true story..."The Houston Herald Newspaper" in Houston, Texas, reported this
Last thursady night around midnight , a woman from Houston, Texas was arrested, jailed and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse.
The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the Arraignment Judge, Sworn in, and asked to explain her actions.
The woman replied, " I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a waitress at a local cafe.... I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol that was in my purse, that was hung over my left shoulder.
All of a sudden, I was being spun around hard to my left. As I caught my balance, I saw a man running away from me with my purse. I looked down at my right hand and I saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol. The next thing I remember is saying out loud, " No way Punk! You're not stealing my paycheck and tips!" I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and squeezed the trigger of my pistol six times.
When asked by the Arraignment Judge, "Why did you shoot the man six times?"
The woman replied under oath, " Because , when I pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went click."
The woman was acquitted of all charges. She was back at work, at the cafe , the next day.
Now That's Gun Control!!!!!

Hello to everyone and I hope that all your days are well. I want to thank my heavenly father for another wonderful opportunity to be able to fellowship with other friends. None of us go to the same church but we use to. We venture to different places. We had all started in the same teaching ministry but, found our way to different places to worship. Nonetheless, we found each other as friends and family and christ and were able to set up a day for our bible study. I had been wanting to have a bible study session amongst friends and finally we had one. I can tell you it was wonderful.I have to thank my God for allowing this to happen. We had been trying to get together for quite some time. We all started off with a wonderful snack. Thank you Mother Mary ( no she is not a nun) for allowing us to have our studies in your home. It was wonderful and for feeding us and treating us like family.
We statred reading from the begginning. Genesis chapter 1-4. We had review how wonderful our lord made our world . We also took in acknowledgement that in biblical times our day actually statred at night for in Genesis 1:5 it say and I quote " and God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and and the morning were the first day. This indicated to us and our searching that the days as we know it actually were man made clocks and not biblical. Reason for our conclusion.
I am so looking foward to next weeks bible study. I pray that we get just as much insight as we did last week. Until then be safe ,be blessed ,and be humble .

Happy 2nd Birthday Jenelle
This is a beautiful day. Today I celebrated Jenelle's birthday. I have not had a party for a child in so long , I had forgotten how tired it can make you.
My beautiful angel of a grandaughter that I was blessed with.
I thank the Lord everyday that I am around to help in raising my grandaughter. Although my daughter those the best that she can and tries very hard, there is always something that we forget. So I am lucky and blessed to be here for her and able to help with all aspects of my granchild up bringing.
It is a lot of work and time and patience. God knows patience.
This weekend was a little gathering for this precious grandchild and it was very tiresome. It has been so long since I had a gathering for a child. Now I see why . It felt like a tornado was about to approach and no matter how you thought you had prepared for it , it just was not good enough to handle the storm. Kids are just naturally hyper and I guess I am getting old.It was a great time had by all. We had attempted to grill outside and immediately had took notice that the weather was not going to let us so we had to take the outside grilling , inside. We cooked and finish grilling. Thank goodness for the foreman grill and the griddle. Everything was made in no time . We all ate and rested while the kids played and then it was time for the pinata. let's just say OMG. Confetti everywhere. Kids sliding and my grandaughter in the middle trying to taste confetti. Then we cut this huge cake...Bye- bye diet..
But she is worth it. God bless you...Try this new website that I have found for you.....

Do you see him????
I am enclosing this link so that you can listen to this sermon that I heard today, if you have time. It was about these two guys walking down a road and a third man join them ,and they were so unfocus that the person that they were talking to was Jesus and they did not even know it. This was a very interesting story for me ,and so I kept hearing the sermon and as I was listening to the way the Pastor had explained it, and it made me realize that I can relate to these two gentlemen. I too sometimes do not see Jesus and therfore do not acknowledge that he is in my presence. In case you have time to read your bibles, the story came out of Luke chapter 24 13-54 and the reading of the word reads as follows:
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen
Can I tell you that I do not go to this church . I have only been here twice. I just happened to register to get free emails from them and today I was checking my emails and I received a newsletter from them. So I read it and decided to listen to the sermon this past sunday. Their website is http://www.innovationlife.org/ and go to media. All this Pastor's sermons are place in this audio and you can even watch the sermon if you want to. I thought what a wonderful way to spread the message of Jesus.

What a beautiful day?????
OMG.... Yes what a beautiful day.. Thank you lord for all your days but, thanks for this day specially because it was just perfect. No rain , mid 70's a little breezy and sunny. Not muggy. Just perfect. Gotta love it. Now if only all our days are like this would be so great.
On another note, I hardly ever get to enjoy the day. With work and all it's hard to see days like this unless I request off or call out. Hopefully this summer will stay around for a little while.
Today I miss out on girls night out. It's a bunch of my friends and myself get together and go to the casino and eat and just hang out. I can not make it . It's like a big slumber party. Hope they have fun.
Weather is crazy and I hope whever you are , you are having a great day.

What a beautiful Easter Day?????
Happy Easter Everyone.... Hope you had a wonderful day. I know I did. It has been raining all week and it's been cold here in Pennsylvania, but today may God be the glory it was warm and sunny. Isn't it like our father to choose the right day to shine his glory....
I complained about the church I had went to on Friday because there was no morals as to what the day was about. The significance it has for us christians. When I say us christians, it simply means those who believe in Jesus Christ and that he came here to save us from our sins, so that through him we may have eternal life. I had to specify that because for some reason people have asked me what religion is that and I have had to explain. I have no religion preference. I am someone who is tired of believing in everything negative and chose to one day pick up the bible and started to go to church and realized that there is so much out there that I have yet to see. When you look at things in God's way , you see things so different. Everything is still the same but the way you handle things are so much different and therefore you get different outcome.
Now I must say , I wanted to apologize because I should not have been disappointed. After all we are only humans and are entitle to make mistakes. All of us have our way of expressing the love that we have for Jesus and I should not have judged the church for allowing mess to happen. I put man on a pedestal instead of gloryfying God even though there was so much not done right. After all that is why I was there for.
Today I went to a church that I have gone to about three times before. I enjoy the Pastor sermons everytime I do go. We are just taking it slow because I am tired of going to churches that are only money hungry and spread there word and not the word that's in the bible. We had a great service and we had a feast afterwards. We celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and what we did that stood out for me was have communion. Most churches ahve communion only on the first sunday of the month, but this Pastor felt compelled to see that we take communion. This signifies the rememberance of Jesus and what he had done for us on the cross. This was a wonderful message to give today. I pray for you my friends and family in christ that your lives will be fulfilled......

Good Friday .... What is wrong with the sermons at churches on this day?
Hello everyone. I hope you are blessed today as you read and go about your day in the presence of the Lord. Let's start out with a prayer that I read and found it to be so inspiring to me....
Lord Jesus, the presence of your mother at the cross engages my heart. You are no longer only the Savior dying for the sins of the world. You are also a fully human man, a son with a mother.
O Lord, how can I begin to thank you for what you suffered? My words fall short. My thoughts seem superficial and vague. Nevertheless, I offer my sincere gratitude for your suffering. Thank you for bearing my sin on the cross. I give you my praise, my love, my heart . . . all that I am, because you have given me all that you are.
All praise be to you, Lord Jesus, fully God and fully human, Savior of the world . . . my Savior!
Amen.
I had went to a church service on Good friday. I was not very please with what I was hearing. At all.
I do not know about you , but it has taking me almost my whole life to come to terms that I owe my whole life to my living God and the Saviour Jesus Christ that hung on that cross for me. Through him I am allow to still reach the kingdom . With all that said , the passion that a church should have for this special day that we chose to remember and embrace as the day that Jesus died on that cross, should be full of life and hapiness and rejoicing. Something like thanksgiving for life and a second chance of life...This was the day that our jesus died for the sins of the world .It makes sense that the first word of Jesus from the cross is a word of forgiveness. That’s the point of the cross, after all. Jesus is dying so that we might be forgiven for our sins, so that we might be reconciled to God for eternity.
Now when you go to a church you think that this celebration is going to bring such joy. As I anticipated such a great service for the evening, I couldn't wait to get there. I got dress and headed my way to a church. The church that I initially wanted to go was unfortunately close, so I went to another. I think I sat for about half an hour out of a three hour service. That's how unhappy I was . It was like it was a dead church. No one was uplifting no one was prepared to do the last seven words of christ and the services was just chaotic...All I can do is pray. Ask God to forgive us for how we are remembering why christ die. To think that this is what we are teaching our children..
Everyday our world gets worst. Just pray as much as much you can, our future need it.....

A joke for you.....
God bless us all as we are in a Holy week of passover.
I want to talk a little bit about marriage today. Give me opinions if you like. I encourage and I like to see what other people think. As a woman who has been married for nearly 20 years, you tend to have gone through a lot. Saying that I believe in the bible. Let me explain. I made a covenant (contract) in front of God to be married through sickness and good health, for rich and for poorer until death do us part. I never promise these things to my husband. I promised them to the lord. He is who I truly put in front of my home so that I have the strength to deal with all that is coming my way..... And it usually is a lot....lol
Being this said, I have always seen myself as a very opinionated woman with my own vision as to how a marriage should be. I believe in order to be respected by your spouse, you need to respect him first. Do not give him a reason to have an upper hand on you... If I yell first , I am just invited him to yell as well. If I argue first , then I am just invited him to argue.... etc, etc,,,.... It's like opening the door to the devil. I am in no means trying to tell you to be a wuss... But all you do has to be judged by God... Jesus came and die for the remission of our sins and because of this fact is why you need to be very careful how you address issues in your marriage. Everything you do is consider in the day when we are to be resurrected in the new Heaven...Why on earth would you allow anyone even your husband to let you stray from your crown of glory.
There are so many times that I have wanted to just pack up and go but, as I attempted todo so, something always held be back and instead, I choose to read my bible and pray for forgiveness and understanding and best of all wisdom to deal with the cituation at hand that was causing me to want to leave in the first place.You can only save yourself. No matter how hard you try, your spouse has to want to be in God's presence for his blessing. We all do not get our blessing together . All we can do is pray for one another....As a woman we are built to deal with a lot. Our bodies are physically stronger and our minds even better. Our abilities to fix any problem that comes your way is a gift from God. Do not think that you are all that and a bag of chips, although we are all perfect in God's eyes. To say that you are not perfect is like saying God is a liar. Your choices and decisions are not perfect but you as an individual are perfect cause we are all made through the vision of our lord .Do not ever doubt yourself. Your spouse no matter how negative he can be can never put you down or make you feel like crap because you are perfect and you father up above loves you.
I had been married before, I was in an abusive relationship that I stayed in because I misunderstood what marriage was about. I had never read the bible before therefore I was being mistreated very badly and in return I was mistreating an individual as well. I had a way out. You know when it is a blessing when you leave the transition is smooth. No fights , no arguments . Everything is there for you. A job, a home, and your family.... The most important thing... My kids were always my strength. I thank god for them. Without them I would not have seen the light . Who knows I might have been dead by now, so I thank God for saving me.
Here is a joke after all this seriousness...
" If you Marry a Pennsylvania Girl..."
The third man married a girl from Pennsylvania. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulties when he pees...
I thought this was funny condisidering I am from Pennsylvania.....

No matter how hard you try, your spouse has to want to be in God's presence for his blessing. We all do not get our blessing together . All we can do is pray for one another....As a woman we are built to deal with a lot. Our bodies are physically stronger and our minds even better. Our abilities to fix any problem that comes your way is a gift from God. Do not think that you are all that and a bag of chips, although we are all perfect in God's eyes. To say that you are not perfect is like saying God is a liar. Your choices and decisions are not perfect but you as an individual are perfect cause we are all made through the vision of our lord .Do not ever doubt yourself. Your spouse no matter how negative he can be can never put you down or make you feel like crap because you are perfect and you father up above loves you.
I had been married before, I was in an abusive relationship that I stayed in because I misunderstood what marriage was about. I had never read the bible before therefore I was being mistreated very badly and in return I was mistreating an individual as well. I had a way out. You know when it is a blessing when you leave the transition is smooth. No fights , no arguments . Everything is there for you. A job, a home, and your family.... The most important thing... My kids were always my strength. I thank god for them. Without them I would not have seen the light . Who knows I might have been dead by now, so I thank God for saving me.
Allowing me to find a husband whom I can respect and love dearly .
Here is a joke after all this seriousness...
" If you Marry a Pennsylvania Girl..."
Three friends married women from different parts of the country.
The first man married a woman from Utah. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man married a woman from Louisiana. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day he say his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table. The third man married a girl from Pennsylvania. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulties when he pees...
Have a bless day and thanks for reading....

Good Friday and what it means to me....
Sorry I have not written in forever....
Hello everyone. I hope all is well with good health and good spirits. I know that you are all doing fine . My faith tells me so. We are not all perfect but, we are doing just fine. I have been overwelm with stuff and have not had time to write anything.
Tommorow is Good Friday. A very touchy subject for me to even speak about without getting tear -eyed. The closer I seek God by reading the bible the more I can see what was going on at this time. The thought of all the cruelness that we as people were able to show and enforced on a person just does not make sense to me. Never mind the fact that this man "JESUS CHRIST" that walk the earth healing the sick, casting out demons. A man about peace and love and repentance. A man that came here to give us an opportunity to see that there is another way of living life. Not the sinful lives that we were showing at that time and even now.So I am enclosing in respect to Jesus Christ his crucifiction ...... his death as foretold by previous prophets.
This comes out of the KING JAMES VERSION of the bible.
Matthew 27: 35-54
35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36 And sitting down they watched him there;
37 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes and elders, said,
42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47 Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that], said, This [man] calleth for Elias.
48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Thank you Jesus for dieing for my sins. Thank you , because of you I am able to repent. Because of you I am able to live.... Even in this sinful world..
