Happy New Year

it's the end of yet another year - i think i missed most of it - i'm still trying to figure out what i'm going to do to keep aaron busy for the summer - good grief say it isn't so!!!!

i pray i honored my Lord's life - i pray my husband really does think i'm funny - i pray my son really does think i'm hip (is that even a word now?) - i pray that my family knows how much i love them and miss them terribly - i pray my friends value me as much as i value them - i pray that conversions for Jesus in loved ones will stick and grow deep - i pray that 'super chica' and i get to walk many more years together fighting crime - i pray that today i stand a better women in my Lords eyes than i did Dec 31st 2006 -

happy new year - and remember to

KEEP CHASING RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!

tis the season

so busy this time of year - i am trying so hard to stay focused on the reason for the season - to enjoy every thing that comes my way - i have been purposing to talk to people in line to bring a little laughter, add some smiles to the frustrated faces - aaron was so cute the other day (he thought he was telling on me) bobby comes home and he runs to him and says, "dad, mom is making friends AT THE STORES!" - i realized he was right - i have talked to so many strangers that turned into smiling friends if only for a moment - the strangest thing is as i have wanted to give this gift to others i have found myself feeling so blessed and joyful - i think this 41 year old bird has finally learned a valluable lesson on what it means to give Jesus to everyone you come in contact with. Go ahead try it go against the grain and talk to the people in line - you just never know what might be waiting for you.

keep chasing righteousness!!!

I Hear you Lord !

don't you just love how our Lord speaks to us - so here i was the other night writing /praying over wordsand this one kept my attention for a long time "Temperate" okay i'll be honest i didn't really want to look at it as i felt it as a word of exhortation to my heart from the Lord - so i i was praying over it looking up verses . So the morning comes and I'm working on my Esther study and Aaron's reading the Bible in the school room. He yells out to me, " Mom how do you say T-E-M-P-E-R-A-T-E okay all i could do was laugh ' i hear you God' so the truth is this word right now really does have alot more than i want to admit alot of meaning for my life right now. So I am being mindful of this word going about my life and measuring everything against it.
Am I being selfcontroled - self restraint
Am I having this or that in moderation

I think I'm going to be learning about this word for awhile

Women {must} likewise {be} dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
