Where have I been?

It feels like forever since I have been here... wow so much has been going on.

My sister has been here in town for a while now. She will be leaving this Sunday to go home. I will miss her terribly. I don't think she is quite ready to go home but her best friend back home is very very sick.... At last weekends retreat my sister accepted Jesus as her Savior!!! Praise God - wow that was the greatest birthday present ever (followed closely by a great trip to Disneyland - aaahhhhh!!!!). But now she is going home to see her friend that is not expected to live much longer. I said to my sister that she has great news for her friend and she said that her friend doesn't talk about religion.... hmmm - that doesn't sound good to me. So, please pray for my sister that she has the boldness to speak to her friend about Christ and her eternal home after leaving this temporary one... and that her friend's heart is softened to listen..... OH... and a miracle wouldn't be too bad too! :)

Tomorrow is opening day with Eastview Little League. We are beginning the baseball season.... I'm not looking forward to opening ceremonies (even though it is rumored that the mayor will be there)... but I am looking forward to the upcoming games!! We figured that the games would all be weekend days when John is working and he would miss them. We were told at sign ups that there might be a chance of Sunday games. We prayed there wouldn't be any - but had resolved that Jake would have to miss those games if it coincided with church. Not only do we NOT have any Sunday games on the schedule - but 1/2 the games are Monday mid day games - that John can attend!!!!! God is so good to work out the details when we are ready to honor Him.

Well, morning will come all too quickly.... OH - and tomorrow is the last day of the month - so new scriptures are due soon!!!

Thanks Jen - you are right, It's time for #4!!

Thanks Jen for keeping me on track and holding me accountable.... what a dear friend.

I'm 3 days late with this one... sorry about that... I'm trying frantically to slow my pace and find time for true devotion time with my dear Savior but darn that life that keeps getting in the way.

I'm sorry to report that my note cards are still not filled out... and my beautiful card holder is still in the bag from the store that I purchased it at. Maybe this morning I can tend to that.....

Maybe the scripture that I need to memorize is the one where Paul is saying that he wants to "be good" but his flesh keeps him from doing so... anyone know what that one is?

Instead I have chosen one that is short and sweet and to the point of what I have been dealing a lot with lately. I have some dear people in my life that seem to be going through an impossible situation... one where the world may see no sight of reconciliation or restoration... but: "Nothing is too difficult for my God."
Genesis 18:14 NIV

Session 3

This has been a little harder than I thought it would be... I like to think that I am a person that can stick to a task... but ... hmmmm....

I did finally buy a book to keep my index cards in.... but now just to get the index cards, write down the scriptures and put them in it...

I've gone with a little shorter one this time... maybe I started out with too long of scriptures and it has discouraged me... like losing weight, gotta see progress before you have the gumption to stick with it.

So, here's my verse (along with finishing the other 2):
Proverbs 9:10 (New International Version)
10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Let's hear yours!

ADDITION: In my useless knowledge widget I learned this: The human heart rests between beats. In the average lifetime of 70 years, the total resting time is estimated to be about 40 years. Proof that God did in fact design us to rest... hmmmm...
