Humpty Dumpty

I can't complain about my life. Things are great. For some reason people's lives all around me are falling apart. God keeps putting me in the position to minister to them. There's so much pain. Where do I fit in here? What do I say? Do I say anything at all? I pray for the wisdom to say and do the right thing. Amen....

Why Blog?

People are asking, "Why blog?" I found myself asking the same question. I basically set up my blog as a link to my shop. Now I see the potential for more. I told some friends it's like scrap booking without the mess. I plan on posting some reunion pics as soon as I can to share with relatives in Louisiana and Arizona. It is also an opportunity to witness what God has done in my life. Maybe I can help someone who is going through the human struggle to find their way to God through my blog. Another opportunity is to say what a blessing home schooling has been.

Looking back to when Kevin was still in public school, I now see that we were living in a kind of bubble. Kevin did not fit in the bubble of sports, band, and academics contained therein. His success (or failure) was limited to what was offered. His talents lay outside the bubble. By breaking out of the bubble and finding opportunities not offered in school we found that Kevin's strengths lie in technology. He loves working at the Church with all the technology that is available there. He also loves playing guitar. Neither of those items would have been discovered in the bubble, because there was no time left to pursue them. God continues to strategically place Kevin where He wants him to be, despite the fact that I fight Him every inch of the way. God is great, isn't He.

Rescued photos

Thanks to Mark and Chris, my very best friends in the whole world, the photos on the CD were recovered. Kevin is the one with the Dover t-shirt. Those are the fish he caught. We were there at Lake Cumberland last year with Mark and Chris and their family. We always have an awesome time when we are with them.

I didn't want to lose this picture either. Only God can create a photo op like this.

I just figured out how to insert photos directly into my post. This picture is from Lake Cumberland on our vacation last year. We had a great time. I have a picture of Kevin with some really big fish he caught but the disk that the photos are on has an error. If I get that disk recovered I will post them later.

Daily Dose

We got an early start this morning at 7:00 AM. Kevin (my son) woke me and said there was a duck in the basement window well. I went down and checked. He was softly pecking on the window. How cute. He soon left with his mate at his side. They waddled off into the sunrise.

I'm going to Steve Brown's website and see if he's got any words of wisdom for me today. Gradually I have been abandoning my daily doses of getting in the word. The result was having a negative effect on me. My thought life was holding me hostage. In a desperate attempt to have God reveal to me what I was doing wrong, I decided to fast for a day. I ate nothing after breakfast and all day. The next morning I was feeling the effects. He still wasn't talking to me. By 4:00 PM He revealed to me that I was feeling sorry for myself. It was loud and clear. I've been doing better since. I've gotten back into God's word daily. I feel refocused.

I keep making the mistake of thinking that I have things under control, when in reality all my weaknesses are still there. They're just controlled by the Holy Spirit. When I don't get into the word daily, they come creeping back.

What do you think?
