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.

Getting Real

Hey. It's been a while. I really should blog. It would have to help me too. I have had a lot going on lately. It is amazing how life will just blow up sometimes. I don't understand.
I know that I am responsible for my own actions. That is something that I can do something about. I am happy to say that I am not "sick" anymore and I can think straight and make choices. Sickness can be a real drag on the family. It has been horrible. We have made the decision to place our youngest child in public school. We still don't know about the oldest yet. He hurt his leg a week ago and is still healing. I feel like I'm being forced to make choices that aren't really what I want yet, are needed. It is hard and hurtful.
Life here is changing a lot. Family takes a lot of work, giving and more giving.
The biggest thing that I know is that God is still God and He is here with me. I am depending on Him to lead me. It helps to know that Daddy God never leaves me.

Downright excited today

This isn't going to be a pour your heart out and see where Christy has problems post. Today's post is an I AM SO EXCITED post!!!

I am having a jewelry party tonight at my house. This is the first time that I have just been able to invite people over for fun. My house isn't perfect but we waited a long time for this house. We have worked so hard on it. It isn't done yet but I can't wait to have fun and laughter in it from my friends. There is just something about a group of girls getting together and having a good time. I don't get that often. SO, YES!!!, I am excited. Did I mention that I am so excited????

I have to get off here and get to cleaning. I have a few high points to hit and then I want to finish putting out my fall decor. OHHHHHH, I sound so like I have it together. LOL I just picked up so gourds and pumpkins to put out and I have a few other things. I love this time of the year. I like "fall" stuff. I have one friend that will be here early. She is my buddy. We can almost finish each others sentences. We can pick out clothes for each other. If I hate it, she loves it. If she hates it, it's for me. LOL I am excited that she will be here for a bit. I know we will spread laughter throughout before the others even get here, so they will have to follow suit. LOL

Well, I got up early. I made the coffee and took Bob out. So, I am about ready to get some stuff done. I am going to have a blessed happy day, I hope you do too!!!

Things on my mind...

So, I get a call this morning. People never cease to amaze me even when I know what their tendancies are. My first inkling is to just get downright aggravated! I mean, HELLO!!!! Now, I am thinking that this is a person that when confronted, is in denial and has no intention of hearing anyone or changing at all. I need to just pray for this person and let God be God!

It also leads me to think about where I am hindering God. OUCH!!!! Yep, I said it. As much as I want to be like Jesus and do what is right, I know that I am standing in the way in certain areas.

I was talking to my son the other day about planks and trees in each others eyes. I sometimes feel like I have the whole tree in there somewhere but I am too self justified or ignorant to see it. I have tried to surround myself with people that truly care about my soul as well as my humanity. I hope that I can depend on those people to talk to me when I am exhibiting those "BIG" tree kinda faults. It so hurts me to see others struggling. I know that God cares and is right there. I don't have favor with certain people and I can't be the Holy Spirit. I just need to pray, let go and let God.

On a brighter note. It is totally amazing here in KY today. We have a crazy busy week and something to do everyday. I thank God for bringing me back to life! I love being with my boys. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I thank God for keeping Paul safe as he drove @600 miles last night. He is doing a great job of providing for our family. I am proud of him.

Well, school is in session, the teacher better get to doing something too. hehehe

I am doing a good work

Some days just get mundane! I feel so useless sometimes like nothing I do matters. These feelings don't usually last very long here but I do have them.


SO, my question today is, "What is a good work?"


If I became President of the US or the "ONE" that finds the cure for cancer, did I do a good work. Why do our human eyes see things in such an odd perspective. Do I have to win a Nobel Peace Prize or "make it" on tv to have done a great work? I think not.


I, Christy Sharp, stay at home wife, homemaker, mom, homeschool teacher, comode cleaner, dish washer, clothes washer, floor sweeper, Bob petter, food cooker, bill payer, errand runner, computer player and God lover am doing a good work.



I dare say, that everyone that reads this is doing a good work too. Everyone is important. God just reminded me of that today. I wasn't struggling with it or anything. He just said, "Hey, Christy, my daughter, I love you and you are doing a good work." Thank you DADDY GOD! I sometimes forget that I do everything for the Lord.


One other part of this that God spoke to me years ago is about doing "good." In today's society, we tend to use bigger adjectives ~ awesome, wonderful, great, terrific ~ those are a few. When God made the earth and all that was in it, at the end of each day, he said it was good. So, my mind thinks that good is good enough. If the creator of the universe can make something out of nothing and it be good, then good is good enough for me. My good work may be different than someone elses good work. We all have to work good together to make life happen.


Also, my good work matters. It will make a difference and be completed. I may not be the one that does something that the world will see on tv. I may do my good work right here in my little piece of the world. It still matters and is still important! Daddy God chose me to do this work. Do I have proof? YEP,



Philippians 1:6

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)



6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.



I am off to do a good work!
