Monday, January 5, 2015

Good morning.  I was up with the alarm this morning.  Did not sleep well - was up a couple of times in the night.  Dreading this day, wishing I did not have to to to work.  I know it will not be as bad as I expect, but it will still be bad.  Five weeks from today, I will be getting up in Port-au-Prince with a mission and a message, not a migrane.

Day 1701 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time.  And if I live through this day, I will the next too!  Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof! 

Today is MMM and work at the FS.  I open and make coffee this morning.  A new man starts on the truck this morning at the store - at least he is supposed to.  Who knows?  I have way too much to do today.  I am welmed but not overwhelmed!

Yesterday was a good day.  Went to Church.  AJ had a door for me but it was a 30 inch door and I needed a 32 inch door.  So, after lunch, we went to Lowe's and got one and the hardware for it.  I spent the rest of the day and evening installing it - I hate doors!  But it is done and it work - the craftsmanship is a little messy but I did what I could with the ability I had.

Tomorrow Is Tuesday.  Doris is showing the Cooley's townhouse for them at 10:00.

Am just plain discouraged and tired of it all - really need something good to happen today.

MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR

Psalm 26:2 - Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart.  For your lovingkindness is before my eyes, and I have walked in Your truth.

Proverbs 5:1,2 - My son, pay attention to my wisdom; lend your ear to my understanding, that you may preserve discretion, and your lips may keep knowledge.

The Word is Alive in 1 - 5  (Reading Genesis 13 - 15)  Abraham experienced God Blessing only after he separated himself from Ur, and from Lot!

From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer - What do I intend to do with my knowledge about God, once I have it?

MMM - just some thoughts:  (1) HOP's 5th anniversary!  (2) Congratulations  Rosemary, on one year!  (3)  'unimaginable' (4) We all have reservations.  (5) It is never true that "I am just hurting myself!"  (6) I am the creator of my own chaos.

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith"

Christ is not glorious so that we get wealthy or healthy. 
 Christ is glorious so that rich or poor, sick or sound, we might be satisfied in him.
("John Piper in "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ")
