Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So many reasons to thank you but for today: "Thank YOU!"
Friday was such a much needed blissful and quiet day. Just you and I. And...a few other "things." Lol
Thank you that I was locked out of my house and had to go and get the spare key for Karen! I just love her. "So Serendipity for me!" It gave me an unplanned opportunity to check out something that was concerning me. It was [silly] but still bothering me in the back of my mind and My Lord, you so took care of it in a big way. That's because you are a BIG God. I was just listening to a sermon early last week when the woman asked, "How BIG is God?" GOD you are SO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a rainy Friday and then the sun made an appearance. I was packing and reading and crying and studying and reflecting and being so content with you. I didn't place any encouragement postings on Facebook nor did I respond to any e-mails. I completed my Revelation homework and basked in complete bliss.
Thank you for another *Serendipity* moment that came from Tonya. I was expressing my deep desire to go to Israel while I'm still gainfully employed, and she suggested that I get a CD and save it for a future trip. How awesome are you or should I say, "HOW BIG IS GOD?" By your grace, I already have a CD and that's exactly what I'm going to save it for. I long to go to the place where you sacrificed it ALL for me! Lord, please allow my heart's desire to come true in your perfect timing!
Saturday was so action packed. I'm alreadt looking ahead to see that my schedule is so filled with things to do and people to see and visit. Father, please give me a balance and a desire to "slow it down." Help me to keep things aligned according to your plans and surely not my own.
I went to the Dobry soccer game and it was a blast, as it always is. I still marvel at how much those kids love me! Nothing but love!
I went to Samone's graduation. It was such a proud moment for me and I played no role whatsoever. She looked so beautiful and I wished that her mom and dad were there. They were both out of town as well as her big brother! Thank you that there was nothing on my schedule and I was able to attend and support her.
She hugged me really tight and thanked me for the letter that I had written her. It caught me so off guard. She said that she was going to text me and then decided to tell me in person. I have to be honest and say that I didn't think she would have the time because of her preparations for the graduation.
She is at the peak of her life being able to start work in a field in which she studied for and also in the process of moving into her own place. Father, I pray that you would place a hedge of protection around her comings and goings as well as her decision making as a single young women on her own. (Unspoken request also). In Jesus precious name!

Father, church was so awesome! I love the word transformation and I love how you've gifted each of us uniquely!
Today's sermon in part:
This two-fold ministry of the Holy Spirit is to develop a believer in two different areas of their life. One ministry develops the fruit of the Spirit in the fruit of the spirit while the other ministry develops their gifts to serve.
The fruit of the Spirit in our lives or the lack of fruit in our lives affects the impact of our service. (SO very Profound!!!)
"Wherever you find God at work you will always find this mark~Diversity in unity!"
Thank you for the special ways that you have gifted me. Use me My Lord, for your purpose and your will....even when I don't feel like it, even when I'm insecure and even when I do not understand the reasons why!
Eternally yours
