See you later Holiday

It's so hard to say good-bye to this holiday season. My tree is still up and I don't want to take it down. I like how my house looks when Christmas comes. Unfortunately this year was not as deck the halls as I like but at least I had a tree and some poinsettias. Even with a hint of Christmas my place feels like it could snow. Snow that would be nice. Tomorrow I return to work and I have mix feelings. I enjoyed my time off and like any vacation I could use one more day. But on the other hand I miss my students and look forward to hearing their stories.

So how to spend the last day before work. Sleep in, which for me is 8:30, spend the morning with my husband, who I only really get to see on weekends, and watch a movie with family. It was a mellow day which I enjoy. Nothing can beat spending time with family doing something low key.

The only way to end a kick back day is to brew a cup a tea and watch some Tivoed Iron Chef America with the hubby. I love watching people run around the kitchen making these amazing dishes wishing I could be judging that feast.

My hubby works ridiculously early so he will be going to bed early leaving me some quiet time in the evening. It's a nice time to prepare for tomorrow and just have some quiet time.

Tomorrow comes too quickly but I welcome it with open arms. We'll see if tomorrow deserves that welcome. :)

Your Love Never Fails

 Sometimes we need to feed our soul with music. This song is such a great reminder of what God's love is.  It never fails.  No matter what your facing His Love Never Fails! What a wonderful promise. Place that promise in your heart. Hold it tight. He'll never let you down. His Love never runs out. His Love is Perfect. God Bless You!  Jesus Culture - Your Love Never Fails Nothing can separate Even if I ran away Your love never fails I know I still make mistakes But You have new mercies for me everyday Your love never fails Chorus: You stay the same through the ages Your love never changes There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning  And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that You love me Your love never fails Verse 2: The wind is strong and the water's deep But I'm not alone here in these open seas Cause Your love never fails The chasm is far too wide I never thought I'd reach the othe

Obedience brings Victory. And Victory is Life

Image
I'm a big Star Trek fan. I've enjoyed almost ever incarnation of this Sci-Fi giant. Recently my husband and I have been watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. One of the enemies for this particular series are the Jem'Hadar. These creatures are genetically engineered for battle and controlled through a drug called ketracel-white; which they require to function properly. Their mantra is "Obedience brings Victory. And Victory is Life." Every time they say this, I cringe. They are following orders from people who don't care for them and whose only goal is their own survival. I always felt it was such a terrible mantra. But today I had a revelation.  During today's sermon, my pastor was going over John 10, The Good Shepherd. One of his points was how do we ensure that we can hear our Good Shepherd's (Jesus) voice. We need to read His word, meditate in His word, memorize His word and obey  His word. Through obeying His word & voice we find life.

Heavenly Father (4/13/16)

Heavenly Father, Thank you for your wonderful love, grace and mercy. You have been my constant, my rock and my refugee. You have guided my path into directions I never would have thought to go. Lord, recently I have been questioning my desire to continue in the path I find myself. Is this restlessness from you? Is it God given? Do you have another path you want me to take? Father I ask for insight. Lord guide me. Father light the path you want me to take. Show me without a shadow of a doubt the directions/steps to take. Father, I rebuke any unnecessary fear that I may feel in whatever you ask me to do. If this fear is coming from the enemy, erase it and feel it withe courage and faith. Guard my heart and mind, Lord. Lord, I'm also asking for a miracle. Scott and I, for 10 years now, have this desire to have children. Lord bless us with a child. I'm being pushy now, Bless us with children! Lord, cover these children with your love, mercy and grace. Lord perform a MIRA
