Interrupted Plans

Sometimes nothing turns out the way we want them to. My sister and brother-in-law came down this week to get their son's driving test done so he can get his license. Before they came my B.I.L. wanted a list of things that I needed done, because my own husband isn't plumbing/mechanically inclined. So first on the list was the ballast in my kitchen florescent light, next ceiling fan in the kitchen (its Texas and hot), brakes on my car and the plumbing in my front bathroom that has never worked right. We got the kitchen light and fan done within 2 hours, but then we hit that cursed plumbing. Seriously that bathroom has got a curse on it. We have used the shower in there, maybe 15 times in the 11 years that we have lived here. We have replaced everything else in that bathroom, except the tub itself. So we had to go to the store at least 3 times, and are not done yet.
    Last night he decided that he was just going to redo then entire part of that pipe with a roll of copper. He got the wrong size, but didn't realize it until he had all of the other pipes cut off. He then had to go back and take the caps from the other pipes so he could stop the water from coming out and so that we could turn the water back on to the house. Did I mention that most of this started with trying to change a leaky faucet? Did I also mention that the people who built this house were the worst I have ever seen? Did I also mention that I want to just take a brick of C-4 and just blast that bathroom away? LOL...seriously it is the WORST!
      Not to mention they need to fix their son's car and had bought him a new radio to install in the car and as they were taking out the dash it broke into 2 pieces. So now we are just praying that we can get it fixed today, that their son passes his driving test and that HE blesses this day from here on out.
     Lord, thank You for keeping us humble in Spirit with a dose of humility. Guide us in all of our ways today, we know that You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the Creator of the universe and we understand that all of this has happened for a reason. Show us what that reason is and help us to understand it. In Jesus' Holy Name Amen

Love is always in the air

     So today is Valentine's Day and the world suddenly has love for everyone. They all want to celebrate and do something special for their loved one. The question I ask is, why do you need a specific day for this? My writing yesterday had to do with the words that we speak and how they can make or break a person, this falls in line with love also. If you really love someone your mouth will reflect your heart. My husband and I have been together for almost 18 years, and it is a very rare occasion that we actually fight, say harsh words or just argue in general. We respect each other and we always have. We truly are best friends and it has made our marriage and relationship stronger and healthier. He doesn't expect things from me that he himself would not do or say, and I return that favor in kind. Our life and marriage together, while not perfect, reflects our hearts and our values. We love each other and do not want to ever hurt one another.       He lik...

Lets talk about Love

 There are two types of loving yourself. There is being conceited, prideful, and arrogant thinking you’re better than everyone, which is a sin and there is naturally loving yourself. Naturally loving yourself is being thankful of what God made. Scripture never says to love yourself because it is normal to love yourself. No one has to tell you because it just comes naturally. Naturally we love ourselves so Scriptures teaches us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.  On the other hand, Scripture does warn us about self-love. Our focus should not be on ourselves. We must trade self-centered love for agape love. Loving yourself too much shows selfishness and arrogance which God hates. It leads to self-criticism and the sin of boasting. Take your eyes off of yourself and look at the interests of other people. Love others as yourself. If you can't love yourself, how is it then that you can love others? Don’t focus on yourself, instead focus on the awesome love that God has for...

Embarking on a Journey

   I got diagnosed 4 years ago with Hypothyroidism and Iron Deficiency Anemia. The past 4 years has been a huge struggle for me to deal with all the symptoms associated with these 2 things. People think that if you take a pill all those symptoms go away. I thought this. I thought I would take the pill, let it get into my system and then the weight that I gained because of it would just melt away as fast as it came and my memory would be immediately restored. What a joke! It just didn't happen like that at all. It still is something I deal with, but thankfully after taking my own health into my own hands I am finally getting results. Let me start at the beginning of this journey and tell you the background.    Hypothyroidism runs in my family. That doesn't mean everyone will get it though. I spent my whole life being thin. Had myself a nice curvy but thin figure. Until about 38 years of age. Suddenly I had memory problems and thinking problems. I gained 20 pounds in...
