If You Receive my blogs by email

This is just to let everyone know that if you were receiving my blog posts directly by email, you won't receive them any longer.  Most everyone that was receiving was on face book.  You can sign up to follow if you wish or you can unfollow if you wish.  I just thought this way was simpler.

Look for new posts on all blogs, except for Beagle Downs sometime today.....

Later,

Your Dreams

I am a Facebook user and over the last week or so there have been some people who have posted a status similar to "Never give up or walk away from a dream that you can't go a day without thinking about."  Do dreams have deadlines?  Only if we set them up to have one.  There are five things or dreams I still want to accomplish before I leave this world:

1) To have a place for my husband and I to call our own and grow old together.

2) To be a published author.

3) To train dogs to help people whether that is as therapy dogs, or service dogs of some kind like for the hearing impaired, or just as a companion.

4) To finish recovery and to help others through the process.

5) To be the best I can be for God, so that other people come to know Him as their Savior, and Lord.

I work on all five of these almost more than once a day or more than a daily basis if that is possible.  I know that I can accomplish my dreams and I will never give them up.  It is not for recognition, fame or fortune.  It is because it is something I feel strongly about.  There are just some things in this life that cause us or move us emotionally, physically and spiritually.  These are mine.  Just because it is taking longer than you wanted or planned does not mean you give it up.  We all experience setbacks.  Remember that God answers prayers and take cares of all our needs.  Remember it is in His time frame, not ours.  Maybe instead of giving up - it is time to examine your heart - Get it right with God.  Stop trying to "Fix" it or people.  Ask God to "fix" you or help you and then stand Firm in your Faith.

With all my love, I say these things.  I know that some of you are having a difficult time.  God gave me this yesterday and I knew I had to share it with everyone.  Have a God Filled Day!  Never Give Up.  God is there waiting for you to ask Him for whatever your needs are and to thank Him for being your Lord and Savior.  And if you haven't asked Him into your heart, maybe now is the time.
Love, L

Realization

I've been thinking about this for awhile. I exchange my old cell phone and service carrier for one on my husband plan with a full keyboard. It seemed that I used text messaging more than the phone service. So at the beginning of July, I got a whole new set up. I sent the new number to my friends and family, expecting life to be the same. It has occurred to me recently, that I don't need a cell phone. I work with my husband now, so we don't even use ours to call each other and now that there is unlimited text messaging on his phone plan, we don't use that feature either. I receive no calls from my family or friends except my daughter and occasionally my son in law, but no one else. So what changed? Did I just tick everyone off? Did I say something else that I should have kept to myself? Or have all my friends gone away? I'm not sure the reason, but I feel very alone. I have my husband and my daughter, but it doesn't seem like there is anyone else in my life. I'm on facebook and I have little conversations there, but it is really just another addiction I have to play games. Anyone have any ideas? May God Bless you all. L

Which Direction Am I going?

This past week has proved to be different. Sometimes I feel like I'm just kind of floating around like a helium balloon, no real direction, just holding on by a string. I turned in my uniforms on Tuesday, did some writing for a lady, worked on a church directory for Lone Oak Assembly of God, and registered my domain name for my website. I hope to set that up this week. I've looked to see if we can find some kind of house or trailer to rent and have been unsuccessful. I don't want to go get another job outside the house until we figure out where we are going to live. I know God will send us the direction we need to go. I know that we will be able to catch up when Norman finishes the current job and maybe that is where our deposit and first months rent will come from too. I just some times wish God would let us in on His plans. Hope everyone has a blessed week and that you get the answers to your prayers or maybe the answers to your unanswered prayers. Praying that God heals everyone that is ill or sick, and that He grants or gives you all the blessings you are looking for. Thank you God for all you do in our lives and all the blessings you have bestowed upon our family. In Jesus Christ name, Amen. L
