~ What If ~ |
What if I had Gods Eyes for Just one Second
What If I had a Dollar for every person that could use it
What If I Looked at the Nails of Jesus
What If I could Make the wrong right
What If I spent more time with my kids
What if I saved another soul
What if God turned His back on me
What if I hadnt said Yes
What if I looked to Him instead of Others for my self worth
What if I had been there more for my sister or brothers
What if my mom choose choice instead of life
What if Obama is really a good guy
What if Mc Cain will help set this country on the right track
What if my son will never stop being a mommas boy
What if my husband doesnt come back
What if we were to give all our cares in this world to the Lord of All and just said No Me, But You.
What if we worried less and rejoiced more
What if I never get to that point of pure joy
What if the Lord takes me
What if the world says No
What if I finally gave up on this what if post and let it sink into your heart....
What if....
What if ....
What if.....
You fill in the blanks |

~ Up Beat And A Whole New Outlook ~ |
Evening Friends,
I have to say what I day this turned out to be and I know the Lord has had His hand on me all day, as you know the last several days....shoot the past several months have been stressful and then the foot incident only ensued that stress but I came across a fellow blogger buddies post about another blogger that I couldnt help but look at today in a whole new set of a ThankFull Heart.
After doing my post this morning on the show and tell of Trisket I thought for sure it would be another stress induced pain in the foot kinda day, even if a friend from church was coming over to help me.In my eyes I was so embarrassed at the way my house looked even if she was coming over to clean, I was still ashamed and wished my house wasnt all that bad. As soon as she arrived we got to work.... we may not have been able to conquer the whole messy lot but just her company was soothing to my soul, and as I type this I cant help but literally have tears in my eyes for that moment of blessing with her presence..(Laura, the gal in my other post who had the baby). Even though I did end up having to stop and take a couple hour nap( medication induced drousy ness) I thank her for still staying around and helping my daughter with her bedroom. Laura would then leave a lil while later while I was still in my med induced nap.ha ha
So it was to my surprize that when I woke up from the nap I had some energy to start tackling something in my house( at the time I thought it would be the laundry room) it was then that I happened to look down and see that the swelling in my foot had gone down immensly(still some swelling,but a difference in my eyes as to what it has been these past few days). Right away I was like THANK YOU LORD and maybe I can now get something done on my place....
As blessings would have it I sat down briefly at the computer(just like I am now) to see if I had any messages and what bloggers could I visit that would help keep my positive attitude in check, so when I popped on to Amanda's blog(see side bar) I was taken to a couple of her recent posts that she had done in recomending another blogger. Remembering how inspired I was last week by that blogger that she Amanda talked about I decided to take a real gander at to what this fellow Woman and Keeper of the Home was saying I have to tell you ladies what a blessing she truly is.....
As you know we recently bought this small farm home on 4 acres, while my hubster currently serves over seas on a 15 month tour to Iraq almost a month ago(even though the full moving in has only been 3 weeks) . The kids and I are still meandering among the place trying to set up homestead only to be met with limited cabinetry to house everything and anything from linens, to the kitchen stuff. By stumbling upon this blog and these particular posts she has done and calling her series Working With What You Got I have been inspired in so many ways and I want to encourage you to check her out HERE..
I have now repented to the Lord for my sour attitude and realize the error in my ways that even though The limited space comfy house we just bought is small compared to our other homes it truly is what I make it, and sometimes Love does grow better in lil houses. So I Thank Copper's Wife and all of YOU for reminding me that I do need to be thankful in the blessings I have been given not matter how big or how small(even among the pain). This home purchase after all was a blessing and no use in complaining after I have been given what I have been wanting. Surely I have been a prodigal daughter with biting the hand that feeds me, and for that My Lord I am sorry and wish to be Forgiven......
Sincerely,
JEANNIE
PS:.....I am going to meander myself now into the kitchen and work with what I got and I will post pictures as soon as they become available(before and afters) |

~ Its Like Hitting the Nail on the Head...or is that the Foot ~ |
I must confess that amongst all the crazy things I have done, this one is the most painful. Saturday while helping a friend from church tear down her old well house(it was caving in) I managed to step on a rusty nail...Yikes Although for the most part it didnt hurt just more of a Ahh man I gotta go get a tetnus shot(20 years since I last had one, and that too was for a nail in the foot)... I resorted to being driven to the hospital but not with out hitting the drive thru at sonic for their happy hour drink specials.... ha haha Go orange juice slushes, and a caramel java chiller!... Now before you go and scold me, I am most glad we got me the drinks as it would be 3 hours in the ER before I was to be released... During that time though my friend was happy as she got to watch the OU vs Texas college football game on the big screen tv they had in the ER room...
With one Tetnus shot, a few X rays, and a couple of Meds later I was out the door and ready to conquer some more of the well house....Only to have our Pastor(who lives not far from up the road from either of my friend and I, tell us no more ladies until you can get the following materials to re build this well house . What a bummer.
Now the pain, where is the pain you maybe asking for my foot, after all it was a puncture wound....Well the pain didnt come until Sunday, and boy does it HURT...its a constant dull throbbing pain and it will be nice when it heals. Now amongst all this I am wondering what in the world or better yet how in the world am I going to move along in the cleaning with this house of mine.... and still get the school lessons done... Tada a new plan! Well actually its a plan that I have thought about for a few days now, and with the inspiration I got from looking at other folks schedules I thought I could prayerfully consider and ask if it would be ok to make some of those mine as well... But as I can see I am already running over my computer time limit, so I will have to share with you the schedule at another time....Until we meet again.....Have a Great Day....

~ Oh Woe Is Me ~ |
 I need sympathy(although you will more than likely just laugh) ... I just played basketball out on the concrete with some of the guys from church( we had a after service luncheon) and I played barefooted.... and now I have blisters all over the bottom of my soles..... I am in pain!!!! But I wanted to play so bad I had to take my heels off... :((:(( I cant walk now.... I had to hobble into the house ....... I guess it gives a whole new meaning to the saying YOU PLAY YOU PAY...... |

~ A Rambling Of Sorts ~ |
The urge to purge is dwelling in my soul, and I can feel the energy begin to grow,
I am weak and tired in these old bones, stressed built up from trying to buy a home.
Flab is there hanging off my deierre, trying to figure out which way to steer,
this heart of mine so desperatley is clinging on to the Lords Will for me,
important calls to important tasks, cant even remember what I did last.
Up and down and down and up, have no where to go makes me wanna throw up.
Trying to figure out what it is thats causing so much doubt.
I am weak He is strong, please tell me Lord how much more long.....
will I have to wait until I can be with my favorite mate....
oh thats right I got to exercise self control but dang it its sure hard.
I wanna make sure I got this right, you created me to be his wife,
how many times do I fail, I can see satan now just laughing in hell,
at the way I go around this life you see, just trying to get by and figure out who is me.
Yep me the red head freckled faced kid you formed from mans first dust Adam was born, but I am not man I am his helpmeet, my sister hood is with Eve.
I wonder though if she were here today, would she be surprized and dismayed,
with all the lust and denial of our roles, would Eve just wanna lie dead and cold.
Not exactly sure where I am going with this, the words are just coming out like a list ....
a list of tasks for me to ponder, whom which some of it could be fodder...
Yes Fodder, the very word can make one holler,
at all the sillyness we have made, its not wonder God is removing his gaze...
the gaze He used to have for those like us who worshiped his hand
the hands that bore the nails you see are the same hands that created you and me....
so it shouldnt be any wonder that when the world turns to pot, there will be much fodder,
so be on the look out be on the scene always keep your armor on for the battles unseen,
unseen to the eyes that chose to look the other way for we wrestle not against the flesh but the demons we cant sway....
Trials and tribulations are never far away but God has a way of getting what He needs, needs from You and from Me to worship Him like no other way.
So after all I have said where do you wish to be when your dead?
Heaven or Hell make your choice , as Jesus is coming soon better raise your voice.
Believe in Him and as He believes in you dont look back cause satan wants to get you.
Call on His name do it now , and quite worshiping false idols and that big fat golden cow...
a golden cow to whom you call,
gluttony, idolness, selfishness you can count... and dont doubt all the things you do when you think no one is watching(dont play the fool)
but just remember the Savior is there catching.... catching all your sins onto his bare body, dying on that cross while you stand there acting haughty.
You better watch out, you better not cry, because who cares about santa claus and the devil when you got God on your side.
This is my personal ramblings that was not meant to be purposeful in rhyming sometimes thats how things come out when I need to express the stuff going on inside and I know if I dont do it right away I tend to forget all that I wanna say.... |

~ Becoming A Whiny Baby ~ |
I have a confession, to whom you all know this has become a regular of me as of late...... I confess to being a complainer in this whole house buying bit. Its a fault I know having this passion for this house that I so badly want to make our home. I knew buying a house was stressful, just didnt think it would be this bad. Alot of up and down emotions that were messing with my head. The Lord has been faithful each and every time and this morning He showed me that I can do this moving in on my own if I allow Him some of my ....moments to be more in tuned with HIM, giving Him my All and everything .....from my sadness of seeing Jason go, to a very important conference call, to the following week filled with much obligations.....teaching kids in the sunday school class to the ladies dinner, I have already had to delegate the hosting abilities of the baby shower, to knowing He will give me certain tasks, knowing that the final walk out inspection will pass.
I truly dont mean to whine or complain or weary your eyes from reading all this thats vain, its something I dont wish upon any one you see, but I am quite sure the Lord is teaching me... to know if in His will He will help me get moved in, but to always remember that we are to fully rely on Him.
