On my way...Almost :)

Ok so I am still here only because I have not yet gone to sleep! I can't wait because in less than 24 hours I will be seeing my baby sister!!! I am not leaving forever just for a short time! I need it more than ever. Although I realize that everything I am getting away from is still gonna be here, I feel better knowing that I will be a stronger God

Stormy Weather

The one thing that I have learned just recently from my beloved Pastor during my week of crying and wondering when all this pain I was feeling would all go away and end, is that I wasn't praising God during the roughest, rockiest time in my life, I wasn't "praising HIM in the Storm"
Oh sure I was Praising Him for all the good in my life, I was thanking Him for my Church, my family, my health and everything in between. I was asking for direction and help with my situations, how to approach the fact that I have to witness to my unsaved family members. But yet I still didn't think to PRAISE God for my problems. The problems He allows for us to deal with and yet he tells us that He would never give us more than we can handle. We seem to always focus on all the good things in our lives and then when life hands us a low blow we forget that the same God who gave us all those good things also brings us back down to earth to prove that we are still human.
The whole book of Job talks about how Job was a great, obedient man of God and when Job was at his lowest of lows having lost his whole family except his wife, having to deal with a lot of problems he still stayed true to HIS God our Heavenly Father. God protected him when his friends turned from him even when his wife ridiculed him. He stayed true to or AWESOME GOD!!! His life was destroyed but yet a man so powerless still praised God! The God who gives and takes away and yet in the end God gave Job a new family. God blessed him for being obedient!
We were created to whorship God, we are here for His pleasure! At times it feels He isn't there and that's when we seem to loose sight of what He commands of us, to be obedient to Him. And that's when He sometimes makes our lives a little bit harder, when nothing goes right and then we break into 2! Then that's when we need to refocus our priorities and start praising and thanking God for everything even our Storms!!
Praise You in the Storm
by Casting Crowns

I was sure by now that you would have reached

down and wiped our tears away.

Stepped in and saved the day.

But once again, I say "AMEN"and

it's still raining!

As the thunder rolls I barely hear your whisper

through the rain "I'M WITH YOU!"

And your mercy falls, I raise my hands and praise the

God who gives and takes away!

I'll praise you in the storm and I will lift my hands!

For You are who You are

No matter where I am

Every tear I cried you hold in your hands!

You never left my side and though my heart is torn...

I WILL PRAISE YOU IN THE STORM

I remember when I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry

You raised me up again my strength is almost gone

How can I carry on if I can't find you

I lift my eyes unto the hills

where does my help come from

My help comes from the Lord

The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Love

Wendy

It's been a while and then some....

So some of you know that I am going out of town for the summer and maybe longer...It's all in God's hands now!!! This past year has been a hard year for me and I ended up spending almost a week in bed because of depression. A feeling I NEVER WANT TO FEEL EVER AGAIN!!!! Some of it is because of my seperation with my husband, a little because of Jason's mom being really sick again, some of it has to do with my parents' lifestyle and then the kicker was when my job told me that I had to look for work this summer because there was none there. I didn't get fired I was told to come back in September when school started up again!!!
I will tell you this now I have never been away for longer than a week or two from what I call home and I am a little scared but also feeling better knowing that I am going to get away to think clearly about all my situations and also become the Godly woman God wants me to be. To all my friends and family that read this I love all you a lot and thank God daily you are all in my life and I will try not be a stranger here in my blog...I am going to be staying with Sandy(my sister) and I think she is going to get a computer sooooooo bare with me :) I will try to fill you all in with what is going on in my life and Sandy's as well and try to get pictures up as well!!!
God bless you all I LOVE YOU!!

News...

What is this world coming too????? I just got done watching our local news broadcast and heard that a FATHER beat his 4 MONTH OLD and the baby has 6 broken bones!!! People if you can't handle children don't have them or if you do decide to have them give them to somebody who wants to love and care for the child. I don't have kids but I could not even consider beating an innocent baby that depends on the every effort of it's parents to care for them, to feed, dress, love and protect them!! Children are a precious gift from God!!! Why do people have to harm God's gift?? I feel so bad for the mom who had to encounter her baby son injured because of the irresposible man she had this child with. I feel soo broken for her even though I have never experienced the love of a child like a parent does. I have a neice and a nephew and 2 young cousins and many friends' children that I am an auntie to and to think that someone would hurt one of them I would just die inside. Love your children young and old!!! And never ever stop loving them reguardless of what they do with their lives you don't have to love their choices but LOVE them. Keep them in your thoughts as they are not always going to be at home wrecking havoc to your home but always pray for them, pray for their salvation, pray for their future, their jobs, spouse and one day their own children. What a cycle of life God gives us to live. Its all His perfect design for us. Disapline your children so that they know what they did was wrong and that tey will respect you for your decision.
My prayers go out to the mom and to any other family members that are affected by this travisty. And to any one who has had any type of abuse affect them as well. May God be with that baby and family and may the father come to his senses and repent and find his creator!!!

Sorry....

It's been a while since I have written so I will fill in what has been goin on...First of all I was out of a computer because of gliches the server I am on getting ironed out. Second, Jason's Mom got really sick and we almost thought she wasn't gonna make it at one point. She ened up having a serious infection again in her toe. So now she is home and doing better but laid up in bed and behaving her self due to her having to have antibiotics in her system most of the time. But now that I am back on line till the server needs to get worked on(more often than not) I will try to send out little tid bits here and there!!!
Back in March my Gramma fell and SHATTERED her shoulder, in which ended up in surgery a week later. Well this morning she had a Drs. appointment and the doc was so pleased with the progress of her healing that now she doesn't need to see him till August!!! God is sure AWESOME!!!! She is doing so well with the new diagnosis of her being diabetic that sometimes I think she is on top her diabetes more than I am on me!! She is definetly learning!!!
HMMMM well I have things to do for now sorry so short but thats whats new for now and I will be back tonite.....I PROMISE!!!!
