Daily Inspiration

Sunday's inspiration, since I'll most likely forget after returning home. If God asks that you bend, bend & do not complain.

Daily Inspiration

Saturday's inspiration, since I'll be gone all day. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. -Mat 5.9 Love him who least deserves it. Blessings show up in many different forms. Don't ever second guess God's reasoning. Success is not permanent & failure is not fatal.... Sign in to see full entry.

On My Way

Tomorrow I leave to pick up Ayla! I fly out tomorrow, spend the night in a hotel and pick her up at the airport Sunday morning. Our flight leaves at 1:20 and we're back here in Florida by 3:45. This is all give or take half-an-hour or so. I'm so excited to see her. I only spoke to her once since... Sign in to see full entry.

Daily Inspiration

You can decide to trust God, or you can decide to be miserable. A secret to happiness is letting every situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be, and then making the best of it. The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works.... Sign in to see full entry.

Daily Inspiration

When you focus on God's promises instead of the problems, you'll notice your thoughts will be healthier and filled with peace. Stay strong! Your test will become your test-imony, your mess will become your mess-age. Sometimes the things we can't change end up changing us. You don't have to have it... Sign in to see full entry.

I Heard From Him

I heard from the "father" and he was civil in his emailed response. There's still a matter of averages to work out, but not being blasted for pointing out a possible discrepancy was nice. I've been able to have a calm and pleasant enough day, aside from kicking myself from time to time. Why? Well,... Sign in to see full entry.

Prayer For Inner Strength

Father, we are grateful for a new day! Lord, help us stop avoiding the issues and problems of yesterday and instead remember that we can walk confidently through those issues with You on our side.

I Really Hate Confrontation

Have I ever mentioned that? Just needed to send the "father" an email about something money-related. I hope he doesn't take it wrong and blow up at me again. If he does, I'll simply tell him I'm not going to argue about it and that if he believes I'm wrong, he needs to run it past his attorney. I've... Sign in to see full entry.
