FALLL COMES TO THE BIG COUNTRY 11-7-2009

It is hard to believe that Fall is in full bloom here. We drove out south of town yesterday and saw some beautiful colors of Fall in this area.

As I look at them I am reminded of the power and might of The Almighty God whom we serve.

As I got up yesterday and moved around I realized I just didn't feel right. I felt cranky and irritable. I just started to pray and all I could get out was Father.....I heard a voice in my mind that said "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh" "Just be still..........." I tried to be still but the thoughts wanted to fly in and out of my mind. Everytime I heard, "Just be still......" Then finally I heard "Just be still and know that I am God. Nothing is impossible for me. I am the Almighty God. Just be still."

You know what? It worked, before long I was experiencing

the Peace that Passes all Understanding.

"Shhhhhhh, Let's just be still this week and really listen to the voice of God in His word and in our hearts.

Peace to you this week.

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted. School started and now a semester is gone. We are nearly finished with January 2009. Can you believe that?
I have so many things I want to do and yet I just keep getting behind.
My main commitment for the time being is to read through the Bible in 365 days. That means I have to stay commented to read every day without fail. Last year I read the entire Bible in 90 days. That was a real commitment! It sure felt good when I completed it. It turned out that I completed it on 4-07-08, which was exactly one year to the day when my Mom had died.
I am also studying the Purpose Driven Life book and a Daily Devo that Linda gave me for Christmas.
I have started a bucket list.
My Number One Bucket List
To make God's will my will. I want to completely and wholly submit my will to His will.
I got an embroidery machine for Christmas. I am slowly learning how to use it. The thing is the machine is much smarter than I am. But that can be a good thing. When I see the cute little face with a tear on the screen I know that I have made a mistake. He gladly tells me what I need to do to correct it.
We are prayerfully planning my third trip and Tommy's fourth trip to Zambia. How blessed is that? I prayed to go one time and now we are hoping to go a third time. That is the best thing I have ever done in my life.
Maybe I will post my bucket list soon. I am still adding to it. Some of the things I have accomplished. Some I am still thinking of.

Until the next time. Romans 8:28 and following.
