A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, today I release every care, every concern, and every situation that is beyond my control. I trust that you are working things out for my good, and you are bringing justice to me. Thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
November 3, 2010:
Everyone is healing and feeling much better in our house. Robbie has gone back to work and the little booger got to work one day and then have three days off. His schedule is horrible to work around sometimes, but the benefits of all the days he gets off while having "alone" really bites, ha! Yes I am jealous!
So Election Day was yesterday and we are a very happy house with Nikki Haley winning the race. Hopefully now our economy will start seeing some changes that bring us uphill in South Carolina. However, we ultimately know that all things are in God's hands and that no man or woman can alter Gods plans for our lives. It amazes me daily that people take their focus off of Gods amazing plans for their lives and put it into materialistic things or people. I think if we all started our day putting on Gods armor and heading out the door looking up instead of down and out, we might have a better focus for the future. God leads this world, he created it and he will bring it to a close when He is ready. At that point in time there will be no election pole to cast your vote on whether or not you think it is "fair or right." God will call the shots then as he always has from a distance, but will you hear him? Taking each day and pushing God to the side saying "tomorrow will be the day I change," will only cause you miss out on the treasures God has in store for your life and leave you regretting the days you could have spent with his grace. Take each day to refocus your life upon what He sees as the right way to travel. If we all just stop, each day and take 5 minutes to look up and show God our appreciation for whom and what he is, it makes all the difference. I personally think that God should be that one person you run to for everything whether it is for the good or the bad; He should come first in your life. However I am guilty as the next for becoming worried over a situation or altering my views upon how the situation might be going at the time. I can however tell you this, if I lose sight of my God, I quickly feel guilty and the need to get myself back on track. The yearning feeling inside my soul that starts jumping for my attention is God saying "get yourself back on track and look to me." I eventually turn my eyes back towards God and the first thing I always do is apologize. I apologize for "trying" once again to handle things in my own way, for not looking to him and letting my trust in him drop. Then I let Him lead me into bringing my heart and actions back home. It is a daily thing, trusting and believing, but in the end is it worth it, of course. I would not trade my relationship with God for all the possessions in the world, because you know why? He can take everything I have at any given time and when there is no one or nothing left around you, you will hit your knees. When you hit your knees you will look up and when you look up He will be there. So no matter how far you run, you still end up on your knees, so just stay there and trust Him now and forever.

On a different note, baby Rex is doing good, looks like we might just get to see him a little earlier than they expected, but that's okay, we are ready. His baby room is painted and the crib was set up yesterday thanks to my wonderful hubs! My in-laws came on Saturday and hung a fan in Bee's room and helped me paint, so it was a very fun weekend. I have the best in-laws in the world, and I would go live with them in a skinny minute, but God blessed me with them.
The children had an absolute ball on Halloween. Bee was a dirty maid/beetlejuics wife and Rileybug was a dead skateboarder, they had such a great time and got lots of candy for mommy and daddy, ha!
More to come!
