Lazy Morning

This is my lazy day. I am still in bed and I am so happy about it. I have plans for the day but not yet. LOL  I had to wake people up at 5:45 and then I went back to sleep. It is 9:50 right now. I have to take Matthew to Praise Team practice at 12:30. I have some ebay stuff to do and supper to fix. Overall, a lazy day.

I did do my thankful post on Facebook today. Bob is laying here keeping me company. I am truly blessed. We heard a sermon about storms. You are looking at a storm, going through a storm or have just went through a storm. It spoke a lot to me. I have been in a storm for quite a while now. I am trying to tell the storm how big my God is. I am learning a lot. It hasn't been the least bit of fun at all. I know that it is in these times that God does a mighty work and we learn a lot if we just open up and let Him teach us. I am trying to be that open learning vessel. Even in the storm, I am blessed.

My dad was better yesterday. He talked plainly to me. I actually told him that I had a lot of people praying for him. He  didn't get mad or fuss. I was a happy girl.

Doing something nice for your family everyday of November.

Someone on facebook challenged me yesterday to use the thankful month of November to not only be thankful but to do something nice each day for your family. I had a special day yesterday. I went to visit my dad. He is not a christian and has no interest. So, yesterday when I went down to see him, he was sedated and tied in the bed. I spent time praying over him and his room. I know that my God is able to break the barriers. That helped me to know that I'm doing the best I can for him. It has been a long crazy road all my life. I just know that this is the dad that God gave me and I love him. I enjoyed spending time with him on Sunday when he was thinking so clearly and talking so good. I am going to keep praying and I have some good friends that are praying too.

I guess it's time to get up and get going. I am planning on doing some ebay today. I will be able to pray all day and there is plenty to pray for.

Where am I?

Where am I?

I'm not sure right now. It is so, not easy, to do the right thing all the time. I don't know about all of you but my flesh wants to get in there some days and tear it up. Today, IS one of those days. Note: I made the verb capital because my flesh is wanting to take action. I really don't understand how in one second, you can be so angry and irritated.

I know the right things to do. Think on things that are true (Phil 4:8-9) and know that I can choose (Phil 4:13) to do the right thing.

I am taking Matt to take his test to enter school today. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I have a lot of emotions going on and no one seems to care. Patrick finally got up this morning for school. He can't find his agenda, so I got blamed for that. My dad is still in ICU in Cookeville and that breaks my heart. There are a lot of things going on here. My brain hurts when I think of it all.

I am happy to know that I have a DADDY God that is here and will walk with me or carry me through. Thank you Lord for being ALL I really need.
