   It has been so long since I have posted anything on blogger.  I have not found any good challenges and have been really busy with some other new chores.  Writing is something I love doing and do not want to write anything unless I know that it is  something that might be worth reading.  I love to write and do not want to make it something I feel like I have to do, only something as a hobby.  I have always enjoyed writing and will always keep posting.  There is one thing that I found that keeps sticking in my head and it is the post that is pasted above.  It says the following words, "That kill me moment when you think you're done with the dishes and you turn around and see those pots on the stove."      Well, it is kind of like that spiritually as well. God's work is never done.  There is always something that we can be doing for Him.  It may not be a big, in the spotlight, kinda job, but there i...

    There are some things that need to be considered when praying.  Prayer is a very important, special time in our lives and should be taken seriously.  When we pray we should be mindful of things that we want and things that we really need.  It is hard to tell the difference sometimes and we should try to separate the two. Things that we need are things like a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat.  We need shoes to wear, transportation, and communication.  We do not need the fanciest things in life or the bottom of the line.  We should take into consideration that there are some kids that do not even have those basic necessities.  What I am saying is that we should not be stubborn and always ask for the best but ask God what He wants us to have and be happy with that.      Webster describes wants as this. " to desire or wish for something.  When we desire more than what we need, we should be careful...

So things did not go as planned, but I did continue to write as much as possible this month.  It has helped broaden my horizon a little and encourage me to keep up with my blog posts on a regular basis.  I enjoy to write and hope you have enjoyed reading my blog this month.  I will definitely continue brushing up on my writing skills but will have to remind myself on a daily basis to brainstorm on subjects that are closest to my heart.      I have to be able to be free when I write anything.  If I do not feel free it will not mean anything to anyone at all.  There is a certain okay" that every writer has to feel before they post something to the world.  It has to really mean something to them, or, it does to me anyway.  I mean, that is the point in writing to begin with, to share your thoughts on a certain subject.  To be able to write is not only a passion it is a way to keep my daily thoughts organized.    ...

   So as I was giving our backdoor a new coat of paint it reminded me of how some Christians are. You see, our dog has scratched off quite a bit of the paint and it looked absolutely terrible.  Well, to me it looked terrible and thought it was time to cover up those scratch marks that he had left.  He likes to come inside when it is storming and rightly so because I do not like to be outside when it is lightning either.  However, due to the excitement of the storm, the scratch marks were left there as a reminder of when he wanted to com inside.nd     Eventually we moved him away from the door because I grow my own herbs.  Fred was knocking them over and knocking the bricks over as well.  It became irritating so we moved him.  He still wants near the door to make more scratches but I will not let him.  He will just keep scratching off the new coat of paint.  That is the thought for this blog post.  Do we really remove...

  In life there are certain things that we all must face.  The pages must be written by ourselves alone because no one else can tell our stories.  It is kind of like staring at a blank page when you begin an essay or story.  There is nothing more scary than not knowing what is coming next in our lives.  God did not mean for us to walk alone but I believe that is most interesting part of the journey.     A blank page just stares at us screaming out for something to be written on it.  There is nothing like having a problem and not knowing what it is.  If you can imagine with me for a minute.  Take a trip in your mind to a far off place in which you have never been.  Imagine that you are going through a dark tunnel and can not see around you.  The Devil wants to make us think we are alone but there is always light somewhere.      A blank page to a write is sord of like being in a world by yourself not kn...

  It has been said many times over and over again that "history repeats itself." It gets old reminding myself that it is okay to make mistakes  It really is okay to make mistakes but it is very important that we learn from our mistakes.  It is true that history does repeat itself but we do not have to purposely keep repeating those same mistakes.  Let us break down the thoughts into little pieces for a minute and you will see what I mean.  When we make mistakes other people see the way we handle them.  We do not need to get upset or mad when we make mistakes because everyone has done something wrong in their lives.      God understands that we are human as well as He understood Adam and Eve were human. God knew that Adam and Even had fallen short but He wanted them to be the ones to confess.  That is what He wants us to do, be able to confess our faults and take responsibility for our own actions.  No one is exempt from tempta...

      Did you ever do any landscaping in your yard?  How did it feel when you got that project finished? Of Course ! You had a feeling of completion, the satisfaction of a job well done.  Well, that is the way our Christian walk in life should feel like also.  There is a feeling of satisfaction upon completing a new task or new goal, an awesome kind of feeling comes over us and we want to tell everyone.  When we complete a goal in our Christian life, that same feeling comes over us and we get all excited.  We want to tell everyone who passes by about what God has done for us.        Well, that is the way it should be anyway.  We need to be able to be in a place to let our little line shine for all to see.  There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone else reach their goal, but first we need to make sure the needle is out of our own eyes.  We will never be able to guide someo...
