Hmmmm

Proverbs 26:17-28

17He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation.
27Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.




This was in my devotional reading today and WOW sure are some strong words. I wonder just how many really read this chapter or just look over it for fear of GOD convicting the heart. I can not tell you how many situations I have been in within the church where this scripture would sure convict some people if they would let it. I wonder sometimes just how people who want to hurt others by GOSSIPING lay down at night and can actually sleep and than claim salvation. In my opinion it is like smacking Jesus in the face saying what he did for us was not good enough because we can't keep our mouths shut and outta peoples business. It is so sad how relationships are torn apart because of one little white lie or because of one bit of gossip than it is festered within than passed on and more and more added and before you know it like a wild fire out of control and damaging peoples lives. Years can go by and those people never get to talk and really look at what happened and maybe both take some blame in order to salvage what is left. Instead the ruins of a once beautiful friendship is left smoldering in the fire. So sad because these same people will not speak to that person here on earth but both say they are on their way to heaven.. hmmm.. If we can't get along down here on earth who is to say GOD will let us get along in heaven? I don't know this really bothers me.. I have just seen so many people stop speaking over the dumbest rumor or misunderstanding and ya know something.... LIFE IS TO SHORT.. make peace and enjoy life while you have it.. Ya never know when your time will be up.. I know there are people I would love to talk to and have an honest conversation and just find out what in the world happened and just talk things over.. but that can never be for that person has hatred and strife and a know it all attitude in their heart so would really only be stirring up more trouble.. So I leave it to GOD and make it a matter of prayer that one day the relationship will be healed and all be forgiven and go on to live for Jesus in perfect accord.. isn't that what the Bible says??

HMMM just some thoughts for today!!!

I am thankful

I am thankful today, for the sun shining so bright, for the clouds hanging high in the sky.
I am thankful today, for waking up and hearing the girls say their good mornings, as they rush to and fro looking for clothes.
I am thankful today, as we sit in a little circle and share our thoughts, our hopes, and our dreams.
I am thankful today, I am home to keep them safe, from harm and danger and to teach them to pray.
I am thankful today, for another day GOD has given me, to learn to love, heal, and forgive. TO be the best daughter, wife, mother and friend.
I am thankful today, that I can choose to praise HIM In this storm, and grow stronger because I am his own.
Yes today I am thankful, no not because there might be bills to be paid or the need for MORE room or laundry to be done or teeth to be pulled.
But for the thought and the joy that I am His and He is mine, and all through life He is always at my side.
So whatever may come.. whoever may go. This one thing I surly know.. To live, laugh and love each day you awake so you can look up and offer your thanks.


Those are my thoughts for today. and excuse me for not putting it in proper format as I am not a professional..lol.. just some thoughts when I woke up this morning. Trust you all are having a good week and are expecting GREAT things from our GREAT GOD!!!!

Blessings, Angela

I about laughed untill I cried on this one.. TO TRUE.. rofl ITS ME>. lol

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied. Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall. You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR!), yank down your pants, and assume " The Stance." In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance." To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more. You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It's still smaller than your thumbnail . Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. "Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT. It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get." By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too. At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks. You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting. You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this." As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?" This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restrooms (rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door! This HAD to be written by a woman! No one else could describe it so accurately!

"She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs with no fear of the future"

The title to this blog is a scripture that is found in Proverbs 31:25(nlt)

*This is from my home school group that I first joined when I started on this journey to homeschooling in TN , I thought it was great*

God's well dressed woman clothes herself with strength by taking care of her mind and body. She girds her mental wellness with regular bible study,worship and prayer. She knows to "seek the Lord and his strength" by seeking his presence continually(1 Chronicles 16:11 RSV) Her mind is fixed on the Lord, and she looks expectantly for his provision.
This well-dressed woman also girds her physical well being by eating well and resting regularly. Proverbs 31:27 says "she watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bred of idleness" Even a casual perusal of the 31st chapter of Proverbs lets us know God's woman is not lazy! however, neither does she allow busyness to drain her. Exhaustion causes poor spiritual reflexes,and priorities to slide.
She is not only a woman of action, but also a woman of character.God's well-dressed woman clothes herself with dignity. She is poised,confident in her Lord, and gracious. She knows her worth because she knows how much God was willing to pay to spend eternity with her. Her head is held high because she has been chosen. She takes time to learn God's ways so she can make right choices that honor him. She is trustworthy, honest and wise. She knows that wisdom will "set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor")Proverbs 4:9 NIV) She speaks with wisdom and conduct becomes her.
I love that the Proverbs 31 woman is able to face the future wihout fear. She is not just devoid of fear, but filled with joy to the point of laughter! She has tranquility of mind becuase she trusts in her Lord. She has peace despite frighting circumstances because she prays. She has joy despite the sorrows of life because she loves. Now that is a woman who can turn heads!

" Lord God, I know that mankind looks at my outward appearance but you look at my heart. Create in me a clean heart, a soft heart. Clothe me in your strength , help me to make right choices, allow my appearnce to turn heads towards you.

In Jesus' name, I pray.

AMEN AND AMEN!!!!!!!

Things I do not understand

Ok so I guess this thing is supposed to be good for the sould.. HONESTY.. hmmm does anyone now days really know what that word even means?? WOW so many thoughts running through my mind. Ok so my new Spiritual project is this.. LETTING GO of resentment anger and truly learning what TRUE forgivness means.. hmm should that be an easy task?? I am sure eventually there will be those who will find this blog and have plenty to say and you know.. thats ok.. Look I am far from perfect and have MORE than done my share of hurting others.. but I also have always been woman enough to say YEA I DID IT SO WHAT OF IT... *whatever that may be) and the one thing I can NOT NOT NOT NOT stand is being accused falsly.. but I guess Christ went through it so why am I any differant.. I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW>> but it still BUGS the crap outta me... I have always grown up in a family where I was taught to care what others thought of you(led by example is more like it) and ya know as an adult it is still hard to let go of. I am trying to find the line between breaking free emotionally and not looking like I am fullfilling biblical signs of the end times by breaking free...lol.. if that makes any sense at all.. WOW.. ok so I am a person who LOVES family and man this family I have(extended) just kinda sux right now.. no one wants to speak to anyone yet they all claim to be saved and sanctified.. than here is the REAL kicker the ones who do not claim anything are the ones who can work out the disagreements.. Now answer that one for me..lol.. WOW... so I guess I leave it all at the Cross and go on.. well I believe that GOd made made me and HE knows why that is so hard for me to do but I am DAILY learning to do that.. I still ache for the cousins who hate me and for the aunts and uncles who are misserable and for the 2nd cousins that dont even know each other.. ya know if everyone could have a near death experience I think it would or it should change everyone.. because life is not a guarantee or a promise or even our right.. IT IS AS A GIFT every single min hour day week month year that God CHOOSES to give to us and at any moment he could choose to take that away.. so what are we doing with that time?? Hanging on to past hurts regrets.. afraid of being wrong .. afraid of someone THINKING ill of us .. so does that make it right to let things go on year after year with no change at all?? Sense when did it become our responsability to FIX everyone instead of ourselves?? HMMM and what about the idea that Christ came to SAVE THE WORLD??? Does that mean only the not so bad people but the really fowl and down and dirty ones cannt be forgiven?? Well I choose to not put my HUGE GOD in a box like that because to me that is the BIGGEST mirable of all is when a HORRIBLE sinner is saved WONDERFULY by Grace.... and mistakes.. wow why do we feel the need to kick a man when he is down?? What happend to human desency?? Those of us that know better should be DOING IT and teaching our kids these morals and values.. not more hate.. So today I choose to forgive all who have wronged me.. I choose today to Love and pray for them and LET IT GO and LET GOD.. YES LET GO AND LET GOD!!!! I choose to make heaven my home.. I choose to live each day the way He wants me to live.. I will give untill there is just no more to give.. IM GOING TO LOVE LOVE TILL THERE IS JUST NO MORE LOVE.. I could never NEVER out love MY LORD....


I will not be giving my blogs proper endings because I am probably going to be comming back through out the day to add to them..lol.. this is my theropy.. MY FREEDOM>..lol
