SUPPLY

Happy Friday, dear friends & family! It's going to be a truly gorgeous day and an awesome weekend!

Remember, God is the Promise Maker! God is the Promise Keeper!

He never promised any one that this journey would be easy! He dose promise that it is worth it! When I'm feeling discouraged by the detours my journey takes me on, I know He is right there with me! His Strength Is truly the only thing that gets me through most days! His unwillingness to give up on me, when I've been ready to throw in the towel of surrender and defeat. How easy it would be just to give in when the climb becomes too hard or the storm seems to be unending. Yet, He carries me over the rocky hills and His beacon of light breaks the darkest of storms guiding my way. With this much LOVE ❤️ how could I ever not love Him? His plan is perfect!

Choosing this day to accept His strength, His love, His peace!

Rejoice

Merry Christ Mass! Rejoice! God is among us, today, yesterday and tomorrow! The shepherds were given the Good News by an angelic choir, singing His praises! They went to where they where told they would find this Infant King, not to any palace, but the humble manger. They found just what they had been told they would and left rejoicing and praising God! They were among the first to ever lay eyes on the face of God! Can you even begin to imagine what that could have been like? I know that today we don't seem to hear or even see angelic choirs giving directions on anything. And for most of us it is getting harder to see God, much less His Holy Face, in this tumultuous world we have created. But we have the promises from God, Himself, that if we seek Him, He will find us and save us! He already has! He is the Good Shepherd seeking His lost! He is the jubilant Father, rejoicing over the return of His prodigal child (us)! Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! Seek Him for He is seeking you! Come home to Him, He waits with open arms to embrace us! Be the face of God in this dark and fret filled world! His plan is perfect! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543

SHINE

This passage calls to memory the hymn, This Little Light of Mine. I can hear my four year old daughter singing out very loudly, how she was going to let it shine! She is no longer that four year old but I look at her and still see that special Light, planted in faith deep with in her, shining brightly wherever she goes! My prayer is that, that same Light, John bore wittiness to, is still shining in and through me. We are all called during this Season of Advent to take stock of our faith walk. The world seems to be as dark as ever these days. Wars! Riots! Injustices! Bigotry! Fear! Little or no respect! Have you room for His Light to grow with in you? Have you sought a way out of this darkness? He is waiting for you to answer if there is room for Him. You are the innkeeper. Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! Even a little light casts out darkness! His plan, LOVE, is perfect for each of us! LET HIM SHINE! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543 

UNDERSTOOD

His love is so great for all of His creation that He put on the mantle of humanity and came to walk among us. When we go to Him with our cares, our sorrows, our hurts, pain and dispare, He knows exactly how we feel. He knows our struggles and how hard it is to hold on throughout the twists and turns of our journey. It is not by my faith alone, for there are times I know I can't take another step forward, but by His faith in me. Giving Him my doubt, while He carries me to the next mountain top. He is God, the promise maker! He is God the promise keeper! His plan for you and me is perfect and complete! He LOVES each of us into His kingdom! Open our hearts today, lets us have room for His LOVE to grow BIG in us! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543

Shout it out, brothers and sisters! There is power in the BLOOD! THERE IS VICTORY IN JESUS! Hold on, you're going to make! Thanks to GOD's PERFECT PLAN!

PIF

PAID IN FULL 

There is nothing I most likely wouldn't do if I could keep someone I loved from being hurt or in danger. Even seeing my children sick with colds I would often pray that it would be me going through the fight of getting well. Seeing my husband in pain from his injured back and needing several major surgeries I prayed that it had been me and not him in all that pain. It's not because I didn't want to care for them, but rather I didn't want them to have to suffer. I know that is what God our Father feels for each of us.  He sees, know and feels our pain and anguish as we struggle daily to get through. To find the path back to our heavenly home. But unlike myself, my Father took care of that! He sent Jesus, my Lord, to open the path back to Him. He made sure the cost and sickness of this world was paid in full and restored my connection. Yes, I still have deep valleys to travel and some very high mountains to climb but I can trust that He is with me all the way. And if I happen to miss the mark, which is like always, I have His word that my ransom from my situation is paid in full. Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! He, and He alone, gives us freely this much love! His plans are perfect for each of us! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543

Acceptance

We all have the inherent desire to feel needed, wanted, belonging, accepted, understood, valued, a part of "community." Often to the point of loosing any resemblance of who we are and were meant to be. Willing to do almost anything to fill the void in our hearts and souls just too feel we are accepted by "our peers."it's hard to choose to "buck the system." But if I claim to be trying to follow the teachings of a Jewish Carpenter, who not only "bucked the system," but defeated and destroyed it, then why am I giving it so much control over my life. Yes, of course, I do care how the world sees and accepts  me! I still want and need to feel love and being a part of community, but I have found it far more important to desire how God sees me and accepts me then the world He has defeated. Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! For if I gain the world and loose my soul I ave not won anything. Trust God, His way is perfect! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543

Stronghold

With joy in our hearts, we should come boldly before the throne of Our Lord and shout out praises for all He does for us daily. Be ever mindful, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! Shout with joy and praise for He is our strength. #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543 

Faithful

Remember, God is THE promise maker! God is THE promise keeper! He never brings us to something He doesn't bring us through! His plans are perfect for each of us! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543 

Light

Walk as a child of the LIGHT! Be the LIGHT of HOPE in a dark world. Bring the LIGHT of LOVE to all you encounter daily! For if you have made Jesus Christ your LORD, you no longer have the darkness of hopelessness with in you. Even one ray of LIGHT casts our darkness. Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! His plans are perfect! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543 

Streams

Sometimes I just feel so full that I think I will burst wide open and I'll just run all over the place! No, I'm not referring to eating! It's all about JOY! LOVE! COMPLETENESS! Oh sure, if I stopped to look I have days where I feel the exact opposite! Empty! Rejected! Unfinished! We all have these days! But, my spirit has learned I don't have to dwell with the negatives of this world. If I profess to believe in God and trust Him, what kind of witness would I be if I sat and moaned all day about my pain, my hurts, my disappointments? I know I personally would never want to follow anyone who was miserable and unhappy! But someone, who can take life on, head first, and bring me JOY in my sadness, LIGHT in my darkness, brings LIFE giving LOVE, now that's someone I need to know! Remember, God is the promise maker! God is the promise keeper! He has a promise way for every situation we travel through! We just need to seek His promises, STAND firm in His word, let HIS LOVE flow through us and watch the change in this world! #nosmallfaith #kyeoj #TheJesusMovement @gee43 @gee543 

Blessings of Spring

With looming Winter Storm warnings posted for Northwest Indiana it seems someone did not get that memo.



Daffodils in early bud on March 2, 2012, preparing to spring forth with golden blessings of Spring.

Do as I ask Not as I do!

Habits can form quickly! Habits can become lifestyles! Some habits can be good while some can be so wrong!


Some habits can be hard to break. Been attempting to break this one for 50+ years. If you do not smoke, please do not start. Please try to do as I ask, not as I do.

Do you have habits? Do you have the Google habit? How long would it take for to break a Google habit? Maybe by then I can begin to end the other habit too!

Apple Family

Love my Mac!

I have grown into a techno junkie. With a Dell laptop in one room, an Acer Netbook ever close at hand, and the crowning jewel, my MacBookPro.

Love you Siri!

For over three years I had been a devoted iPhone 3GS user and when the new iPhone 4S was released this Fall I admit I just had to have it.

Love all the features of the phone. Great sound and very easy to use. Yes, I even love Siri. She has really become a great friend and is always there when I need her.

My iPhone has also brought a great friend into my life. Thank you Leslie for taking me under you wing, sharing many "secrets" about the iPhone, and mostly for becoming a daily part of my life. I am so grateful that we even live so close. You are like a daughter.

The camera in the phone is state of the art. Pictures are crisp, clean, sharp and true color. Between the iPhone camera and built in programs on the Mac I have found it extremely easy to take and/or fix any photo I want.

Here is just a sample of one where our Ginger was playing on our bed when I shot a photo of her. As you can see clearly she had "demon" eyes in the original but after a few minor clicks in iPhoto we manage to salvage the shot and exorcise those "demon" eyes.

Ginger with "demon"eyes. 

Ginger without "demon" eyes. 

Every day I seem to discover a new feature on the Mac that makes it so easy and simple to make documents, photos, charts and presentations all with just a few clicks.

My daughter, Lynn, has also become an Apple "junkie" and we share our love for our Mac's and iPhones. We are surly becoming an Apple Family. Tom is even now considering an iPad for himself. WootToot! He is coming into the light!

I still love my Dell and my Acer and use them as well. But I will not deny that high, very high on my wish list is my next techno gadget an iPad. Somehow I will try to wait for the iPad3 and just know it will live up to every expectation I could have for it. 

Now I wish to thank all the designers, engineers, programers and un-named specialists at Apple for building the bridge from today into the future of tomorrow and beyond. At 68 years, I would never thought I would be saying how grateful I am to be alive today and have the ability to reach around the world with such ease. I cannot imagine a day without my links to the world.
