Trust

Proverbs 31:11 tells us “her husband has full confidence in her.” “Full confidence” literally means to trust, to take refuge in or to lean on. The Proverbs 31 woman spent a lifetime building trust. She trusted God and had a personal relationship with Him. We cannot be trustworthy if we are not trusting – and if we don’t trust God, we cannot truly trust others. If we are not “taking refuge” or “leaning on” Jesus Christ, when others take refuge and lean on us, we will crumble and fall. Trust shatters fear.

What can I do to ensure that my family has full trust in me?  I think they already do but how can I deepen this trust? 
1.  I will commit to doing my bible studies daily....no exceptions!
2.  Listen....listen.....listen......
3.  Pray for my family.  Both the family I was born into and the family God entrusted to me.

Lord, thank you for my families!  I have been so Blessed with this family Kim and I made together.  Thank you for him....he has been my best friend, my confidant, my lover and my rock!  Our children love You....I feel that was our biggest job.  Thank you Lord for loving them first and entrusting them to me.  My grandchildren....they are the joy in my life....what Blessings!!!!  Thank you Lord....Through this I have heard You....I need to stop dwelling on the family I was born into and all their faults and dwell on the love that surrounds me now.  I pray that my family may all have the trust in me that I have in You.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Amen.

Buyers meeting

Oh....another meeting......why do they have to be so hostile?  Working with women is not fun!  One person in the group won't look at anyone who is not the same skin color.  So sad!  I can't even begin to imagine going through life so angry!!!  She is DEFINITELY in my prayers today.  I am so thankful for my reunion group who prayed for me to get over my anger towards this buyer. God has gotten me through this but has also given me the grace to know not to allow the pain again!  What an amazing God I serve!!!

Going out to eat with Todd and Jill tonight.....I'm really going to miss these weekly dinners when Todd goes to work. 

Only 204 more days until December 20th.....and only 141 workdays!!!!  :)

New blog

Decided that the title of my blog was too confusing.  I had to go to Jill's blog before going to mine.  So....here I am.  I'm going to use this for vacation postings and my prayer journal.  It should be good to watch how my prayers change.

Today, I am so grateful for healthy babies.  What a blessing they are!  My own and my children's children. 
Of course, my on-going prayer is the salvation of my sister.  I give a prayer of thanksgiving that He hears me and I remain faithful that my prayer will be answered!

Waiting to see pictures of California and eagerly counting the days til our vacation.
