Messy?



When I was a child, I remember sitting on the floor in front of my grandpa and watching him cross stitch. He would be soo careful as to where to put the needle. tho from my angle it looked UG-LY!!!  But i wasn't gonna say anything... I would watch as he took different color thread and meshed it together. it looked all tangled up. I didn't know how people could do this and think its so cool. I asked "papa r u done yet?" "nope not yet, but when I am I will let you see" 
   I watched him for a week, the mess from my angle got bigger and bigger until one day It was 2 much "PAPA R U DONE YET?" "Yes, come on up" I climbed on his lap and saw it... the most BEAUTIFUL picture ever it was of a sunset, with all the colors I saw from my end meshed soo beautifully to fit to his plan.

    I don't know about you but I sometimes find myself lost in my own thoughts. whether they be good or bad they're there. I work at typing plant so it gives me a lot of thinking time but even when I get home my mind is still racing with the thoughts of the day. Things like: "what does the future hold? am I being a good example of Christ to the people around me? If life turns out the way it looks now Im sunk"ect. Its like were looking up at Gods cross stitch and saying "Papa, are You done yet? its looking pretty messy from down here" and time after time he says "No my child Im not done, but when I am I will pick you up so you can see my beautiful picture"

Psalm 55:22 says "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." How awesome is it to know that God has everything in his plan? and that no matter how messy life looks now, we can trust that God has a purpose for it all...

thats all I got today.... God bless :)

The old Hymn goes, " This world is not my home I'm just a passing through,  My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue,  The angels beckon me from heaven's open door, And I can't feel at home in this world anymore..."  How excited do you get about that?! No matter what you are going through in life it will soon pass and then we will be with our father in glory! that's all I got... ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL THO!!! just think about it this next week. whatever you find yourself going through, you, as a believer of Jesus Christ as your personal savior, have a great eternity to look forward to!!

Single Minded

I started today like every normal day. My son would wake me up by shouting "Mommy!" from his crib and I would hope that I was just hearing things. After a while I roll out of bed and put on my happy face to go see the love of my life who woke me from my beautiful coma.   Today however, I opened the door and this sweet little boy had removed his pajamas, his diaper, and was covered in his own brown filth. So I had to calmly pick up my poop covered son and bring him down stairs because I unfortunately didn't leave any wipes upstairs! It was at the point where he looked at me and said "mommy tinky" that i realized that I had some on me!!!! For those of you who have yet to go through this, let me tell you it becomes very hard to remain calm when you have a toddler in your arms and you can feel the nastiness on you! What does my ordeal this morning have to do with single mindedness? Good question! let me try and tie it in. When I first found out I was going to b...
