of Wisdom and fulfill your purpose for my life today.

Saturday, August 9, 2014

Good morning.  Up early but really just wanted to sleep - did not sleep well.  I am glad I finished off the ice cream last night.  It is hot and humid this morning (as usual) with clouds but the weather is supposed to improve this week - more sun, less rain.I am not complaining, just saying.

We lost Grandma yesterday.  Rosemary died some time in the night in her sleep.  I am so glad that Doris was with her for the past two weeks.  The funeral will be Monday and I think Doris will start back home on Thursday.  I am feeling lonely and left out right now, but it is just feeling, not fact. 

Alicia. Kara, and Zach are going up - leaving tonight and driving straight through.  I will stay by the stuff - and care for the dogs. 

The older kids are going back to their mother - Tammy is picking them up this afternoon at Jeff's.  I am not at all happy about that for a host of good reasons.

Today is MMM and work at the Family Store.  We have a volunteer group from 1st Baptist coming in to work today for a few hours.  I have to work til 4:30 so I will be tired but still hope to get the yard mowed.

Yesterday was a good day.  Went to the gym, talked to Doris and Alicia, made trips to Publix and Walmart.  Feeling - Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired!  But that was yesterday.

Church tomorrow. 

GUIDELINES & GUARDRAILS

Psalm 43:1 - Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:  O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

Proverbs 9:10 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:  and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Bible Pathways (reading thru the Bible once more in 1 - 4) - Isaiah 43-46

Turning Points (with David Jeremiah) - "Blessed" ( Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. - Matthew 5:8 )  It is good to be happy in this world, but even better to be blessed by God.  Blessing come from getting back to spiritual basics - serving others!

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) God took me under...so I would let go!  (2) ...became WILLING to make amends to ALL.  (3) I am no longer useless, hopeless, worthless!  (4) We are here to help.
(5) Compare to...or identify with?

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
