Goal 1

Today, my goal is to not cheat in food!  It's a good goal and I am to keep it!

The Home Buying Process

We're in the process of buying our first house!  What an exciting time!  We can't wait to move in, but we have all the inspections and repairs to do yet, not to mention the paperwork  :-)   It's my dream house-an adorable little Cape Cod.  I'm a New England, country girl and Cape houses are the cutest out there!  My daughter is so happy because she gets her own room! and I'm looking forward to making it the room of her dreams (within reason)  :-) 
My boys will be sharing and I hope that in doing so they form a close bond.  I want all my kids to be close to each other all through their lives.  I am so thankful to the Lord for this house.  There is NO way we would be this far if it wasn't for Him and His clear leading!  God has been soooo good to us.  We don't deserve a drop of His goodness and He has showered us with blessings.  I'm looking forward to the move and I'm just so thankful that we can say, once we're in, that GOD gave us this house!

Our God is GOD!

Reading the news this morning has me uneasy in my heart.  I'm so thankful that nothing I've read or that is happening in the world is a surprise to God.  That thought alone eases the worry.  Sometimes we wonder how it can get much worse with school shootings all the time, anti-American decisions in government, etc, but I think it can get worse-much worse.  Just how bad was it in Noah's day?  I think of how hard it may be for my children's children, and their children's children, etc. and I pray for them, that God would protect them and provide for them but most of all that each one of them would be saved!  I also pray that God would keep the families together and keep them healthy.  GOD is GOD!  Our Amazing, all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present GOD!  Here are a few verses for thougth and encouragement...

"And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:  yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind."

 

"Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth."

 

"He bowed the heavens also, and came down."

 

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

 

"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"

 

 

Still feel anxious?  Still worried about the future?  God wants us to be concerned about our times but not worried.  He wants us to remind ourselves of His greatness and total ability to care for us no matter how horrible it may get.  "Oh, Lord, increase our faith."

 

"Trust ye in the LORD for ever:  for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength."

 

May the Lord bless you with a renewed peace that God is OUR God and there is NONE like Him in all the earth!
