well, its been awhile again...I haven't been myself since July-August probably and I didn't feel like writing any.
The Dixie Classic Fair was fun though,but I got very tired that day.. That it how its been . I get so tired doing anything and stomach problems too. I was glad when my Doctor appointment finally arrived over a week ago now. All my blood work came back with great results. No thyroid problems or Liver problems and I'm not perimenopausal either... Cholesterol levels were great as were blood count, etc.. so, Dr. said it sounded like depression. All the stress from this year...Yes, worry is a sin..I don't handle it very well and I give it to God, but I always manage to pull it back..Not what you're supposed to do...so now I'm back on my Zoloft after being off it for well over two years..Starting to feel like me again. Last friday at the West/Reynolds game I had the best time. My friend I haven't seen in a long while, Trace' Cave Cunduff came. and wonders of all we saw John Sherrill too! We haven't seen him in years! Long years! LOL He has not changed a bit! He's still John! haha.. we had a great time picking and carrying on..just like the old days again! I knew I was gonna be okay then..
I can almost pinpoint a time when I really felt lowest...The day we got that Certified letter from our mortgage co..I had to sign for it and my heart sank...I prayed so hard while opening that letter, and called James crying my eyes out...That was hard, as I have written before. I just kept praying though, and I knew God would answer in His time, but I was being honest with Him and asking Him to hurry up. :) Not what you're supposed to do either, but He knows me and we are all human and live in this imperfect world.
Meanwhile its been getting cooler and having crisp nights. There have been some Indian Summer days though. I was able to not turn our heat on for almost 2 whole weeks.
Then Monday came. I was working at home on Quickbooks trying to get it straight for Biogreen. I get a call and answer it. It's Lynn. She's been helping us deal with our mortgage co..She said"They are sending you a package out Fed Ex and you should get it tomorrow.. Your interest rate dropped to 6.375% and your new payments are like $848.00"... My skin started prickling and I cried... I felt relief wash over me.. She didnt know the rest of the details..we'd find out from the letter.. I stayed home again on Tuesday and worked on Quickbooks again,finishing it....James came home for lunch like he always does...I see the Fed Ex truck back into the driveway... James goes to meet him and signs for the letter... we sit together and open it. I read it...
"James, it says that this is for the next 365 months!" Oh my! Here come the pricklings again!!! We look at each other.. "So this is the new payment for the rest of the loan?" "Yes!!" Hallaluha!! after trying 3 times with them to get this Loan Mod, we get it and it's great! we didnt know if it would be just 6 months as most are or a year, but the life of the Loan!! That was such a blessing !!! A burden lifted!! I thanked God all the rest of that day and still am....
another prayer was answered too on Tuesday. Ariana was able to trade her Jeep and her $2500 for a 2002 Saturn! It only had about 75000 miles on it. Her jeep broke down over a week ago and it was a pain trying to get her to College and picked up and to work and me to work.... it was a mess but we did it.. and she had to buy the $84 dollar part and Jeff fixed the jeep for her, but it still needed a battery...she'd go somewhere and have to get a jump to start it... Not good..plus it was eating gas and ate oil like crazy too. She had to put 3 quarts in every two weeks or so.. she did cry though...The jeep was her first car... She didn't really want to give it up, but she knew it was for the best. Now she 'll have a good car when she goes to UNCC in a year or so..
and Morgan. He had to buy a new car too. Late September his old car starting acting up and stalling out on him, so James looked around here and found him a "97 Grand Am with only about 65000 miles on it.. and Morgan could afford it. he just had to borrow $1300 from Grandma to do it and he'll pay her back in Jan. when he gets his financial aid $ again. It cost him $2800.00. Both of the kids cars are white now! That is odd! I wont know who is who until I can see the whole car coming in!! LOL
So many blessings this week..... I am feeling better on my medicine and getting things done now that got neglected over the summer...Whew..now on to the next problem..figuring out how to pay our taxes of $1800.00!!! since we inherited that 7 acres of land, our property taxes went up...big time!!
We signed the papers from the Mortgage co. and Fed ex'd them back all on the same day...we should hear soon about when payment is due and all that...
There's still the matter of Christmas too. I told James we could not afford to buy for everyone this year... We will get the small ones something, and try to figure out how and what to do for Morgan and Ariana... I just want us to be together...I don't need one thing! After all what is Christmas all about anyway? -The Birth of our Lord and Saviour!!!! When you realize that, nothing else matters. Enjoy the season of Love!
Thanksgiving coming soon! Time to Thank the Lord for all our blessings! But we should thank Him on a daily basis... He does so much for us..look for the small things and the big things..There's always something! I remind myself of that daily...

If you have not LOVE: Part II
Part II in the Series: If we have not LOVE
1 John 4:16-19 (NLT)
"We know how much God LOVES us, and we have put our trust in his LOVE. GOD IS LOVE and all who live in LOVE live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our LOVE grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect LOVE expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect LOVE. We LOVE each other because he LOVED us first."
Now that we have all read the scripture for this post, let me introduce to you a Catholic Saint, St. Therese of Lisieux who was declared a Saint when she would have been only 52 (she died at 24). St. Therese was a French woman who lived most of her life in a convent, praying and becoming one with the LOVE of God. When she died her last words were "My God, I LOVE you." Words from a woman (person) who had undoubtedly experienced God's true and unfailing LOVE.
According to the scripture above, St. Therese had a clear understanding of how perfect God's LOVE was through her and for her because she was not afraid of death for she knew with His LOVE she would not be punished. She had experienced His perfect LOVE. She wrote in her autobiography that "What matters in life is not great deeds, but great LOVE." Boy, did she nail it on the head!!!
With out LOVE, we are nothing.
Our mission as Christian's is to strive each and every day in every way possible to show God's LOVE. Have you heard the famous lines from Jesus, "Come, ye blessed of my Father; for I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; sick and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me." (Matthew 25:34-36)? I am sure you have!! Do you know that when you act upon your LOVE you fulfill these things? God living in you with His LOVE will cause you to act with that same deep LOVE!
St. Therese also said "There is one ONLY THING to do here below: to LOVE Jesus, to win souls for Him so that He may be LOVED. Let us seize with jealous care every least opportunity of self sacrifice. Let us refuse Him nothing - He does so want our LOVE!" VI letter to her sister Celine
Although most of us who read this will not be Catholic, we can still take from St. Therese a very strong and important vision for our Christianity and that is LOVE. It must run through our veins. It must be shown in our smiles, words, thoughts (for He knows our hearts), and deeds!!
Do not fear the day of judgment, do not fear His punishment! His LOVE will provide us with the confidence we need to begin to wash away all fear. His LOVE will provide us with the strength to portray His LOVE to others through our deeds.
One last quote from St. Therese "Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing." Story of a Soul, Chapter VIII
What is your heart yearning for? If yours is yearning for LOVE, don't you think others will be too?"
I want to give you the world
if i want Alaska, Italy or
Spain, will you serve to me
on a golden platter
that which the world and
all of its excitement has
to offer?
i know you will pretend to do what you can
to show me your endearing
never ending love
but I need no glamor or glitz
but a tender touch,
loving attention to what
i have to say, from my love
you offered Christ the world, yet
he answered that the world and all that
was in it already belonged
to him, creator;
then, turned and gave mankind the world
for he suffered, giving his all
to the bride who will be taken
to his bosom forever
so get thee behind me for i can wait for he
who promised he would come back
for me, having built me a
home in a celestial realm, on
streets of gold; yet in whose
presence i will live forever
which will fulfill my joy
and give me the world
bonnie
<< 1 John 2:15 >>
love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him.
you say you will give me the world
but what is it you mean? love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him.
i want to give you the world
you say you will give me the world
if i want Alaska, Italy or
Spain, will you serve to me
on a golden platter
that which the world and
all of its excitement has
to offer?
i know you will pretend to do what you can
to show me your endearing
never ending love
but I need no glamor or glitz
but a tender touch,
loving attention to what
i have to say, from my love
you offered Christ the world, yet
he answered that the world and all that
was in it already belonged
to him, creator;
then, turned and gave mankind the world
for he suffered, giving his all
to the bride who will be taken
to his bosom forever
so get thee behind me for i can wait for he
who promised he would come back
for me, having built me a
home in a celestial realm, on
streets of gold; yet in whose
presence i will live forever
which will fulfill my joy
and give me the world

God Gave Me an Angel
One great day, God gave me an angel.
He told me to care of him.
He said he would make me smile.
He told me I could have him,
But only for a little while.
God gave me an angel
I love and care for him
God gave me an angel,
But only for a little while.
You see, this angel, that God gave me
is not really mine.
God lent me this angel,
only for a time.
I get all the good.
The smiles, tears, hugs and cheers.
God lent me the angel that sleeps
in the room next to me.
This poem was inspired by the song by Plum. It is a lullaby that talks about how she gets to hold her child and as she is rocking him to sleep and realizes that God has only lent him to her for a while. She will love and take care of him while she has him. :)
I know there is a lot of stuff being said about Christian crap right now. But, who cares. Jesus is coming back soon and we need to stay alert, prepared and on guard for our Lord to come for us. Let Him leave those who don't love Him behind. He has said they will suffer, so don't worry about what they believe. Do not allow them to get to you!! That is the devil working to tempt you! Don't let him win.
GOD always prevails. He also gives us angels! And, I could not live without mine. ;)
