212.8-It's been a few days

I have skipped a few days in my writing but I have been so busy, I hope, dear diary, that you will forgive me for ignoring you? lol

OK here i go I hope I do not forget anything.

I don't remember when I wrote last but a lot has happened.

I was reelected to be President of the Golden Harvestors. Man I went to people and told them to vote for someone else I even suggested who they should vote for. I prayed about this and asked the Lord to let someone else be voted in. I said I would take it as a sign that He would allow me to go to another church. So I even tried to get every one to vote for someone else and what happens?????It's me again.

Please don't get me wrong I truly enjoyed being the leader, I learned a lot of skills I learned how to pray for each one their needs and desires, I learned organizational skills and leadership skills. I learned how to write lengthy and interestubg (I hope) devotionals. It was a good learning experience for me. BUT I know that my life concerning sister and mama would be less stressful if I were not president. They have been trying to bring me down since I was elected last year and it is more stress than I want to handle.

But God in his infinite wisdom has let His will be known to me, and for what ever reason I am here in this church. He has a purpose for it all and I accept His will in my life. God is good a gracious and I accept His will knowing that it is for the good and that He will not put more on me than I can bear. To His name goes all glory.

Dh and I have been going to singings and revivals every day for almost two weeks and it is still continuing. What a glorious way to spend our time. I like it so much better than sitting here at home watching stuff on tv that is not healthy food for our spirits. That is another prayer for us to bring before the Lord. Help us to make wiser choices in our entertainment areas.

I healr from Gilia church and and they want me to give a devotional for their womens ministries meeting. I am so excited about it. Not for me -but for the opportunity to give God glory and praise. How wonderful that this loving and graceful and faithful Lord would reach down His hands for me, I was an athiest and He saw where I was , He sought me out and called my name. I had a choice I could have ignored His loving voice, but I made the right choice, I placed my hand in His and my life has been a lot happpier since I chose the Lord over this miserable world.

Yes I still live in this world but NOW I have my Lord to turn to knowing that He loves me. It does not get any better here on this earth, the only way it will get better is when I step through those gates and see the face of my Lord. What a glorious day that will be.

I have had baby here since Yesterday morning, dd has spent the night here two nights now and she gets up and goes to work and I have not exercised since Sun. DD and her husband are both working a lot right now They go in early and they work late so it is just easier to come here spend the night and that way they do not have to drag the baby out so early. I do try to get my steps in mostly just walking and playing with the baby. At least it is something I have not given up on my exercise at all. But my eating seems to be spiraling up and up and up and ad nausium. I know that I am slowing down in my weight loss, I still pray about it. If anyone reads this say a little prayer for me please.

This week we are having a revival at my church. I take the baby becasue I really want to go to the preaching. I don't get quite as much out of it if I did not have him with me -after all he is only 2 yrs. old and he will act like a two yr. old. But I still get a blessing and God sees me stepping out and going to His house when it really would be easier to stay at home. He sees that I love Him and I am willing to be a little distracted in order to hear His word.

Small prayer
Lord -please bless the revival, and annoint the preachers and the testimonies and the singing. Let hearts be softened and spirits revived. Oh God let lives be changed. Let the praises ring and the joy be felt by all.
Amen

I have started a sister blog to this one. If anyone wants to read my writing search my profile and you will find it. Actually I have two sister blogs one is for my devotionals/speeches and the other is going to be about unusual things that happen to me, things that I can not find a rational explanation for. I know that some of them will seem like I am dreaming or that I am under some sort of mind altering drug, but I promise you that these things happened and that I was not hallucinating.

I had to take a 3 hour break from typing and I talked to my sister and my mom and a dear friend from another church, Alice. I thank God for letting her come into my life for she has been a blessing to me.

I think I have updated my journal on all the important things that happened to me in the last few days.

If I forgot anything then truly it could not have been all that important.

May God bless you all
