Hectic

Life has been really hectic the last few days, maybe even the past couple weeks! As you may know my sister had brain surgery in January and I've had the lovely burden of taking care of the children as she was recovering. She is still recovering now, but there seems to be something wrong. She was doing a really great job around February-March time, but now we think she might be dealing with some something mentally. My mom has been trying to talk to her about getting evaluated just to see what's going on. We have no idea what it could. Satan has a stronghold on her right now, but I know that God is bigger than that. He has conquered death on the cross and my sister's life belongs to him. That I know full well. He created her innermost being and is proud of the job he did. Cheryl is a beautiful girl and I want to see her succeed as well. One area of her life that she really needs prayer for right now is the relationship aspect.

I'm taking one step at a time. Only God can go leaps and bounds.

Numbers and Matthew

If there was one thing that you would hear me say about 2 weeks ago would definitely be, "I can't wait to be finished Numbers! It's the most boring book in the bible!" My perspective has been totally switched around! I have God to thank for that! He has turned it right around for me. I a=have learnt so much from one of the most historical books in the Word. I can't wait to read it again tomorrow!

Daily Reading

When Mel, Sarah and I first started doing this bible reading thing, I was saying to myself what did I get myself into. God has totally shown me his power through my obedience. I have read through the Psalms and now I'm starting on Numbers and Matthew. It's been a really exciting road for me. It's also been very challenging and rough. I've really been thinking about the topic of relationships, not only with my girlfriends but with the aspect of an intimate relationship as well. God is preparing me for a relationship and I feel as though I've been rushing Him into showing me who it is that I'm supposed to be with. I got all caught up on thinking what if it's him or him. If there is something that I've learned from this, it's knowing that God has this all planned out already for me. I may not know what those plans are but I do know that whatever they are, they are the best and that nothing I try and plan cannot top the ones that God already has for me. God has been revealing himself to me as my salvation, my refuge, my protector. That's what he is to me. The protector........................of my heart!
