A Vessel God Can Use

Need strength

My family has been going thru alot lately. It is one of the hardest things we have had to go thru. I  will not say it is the hardest but it is tough. I have a younger brother (he is 32) and we found out recently that he and his wife have had a drug problem for almost 3 years. The last year has been the worst . Last week we found out just how bad it has gotten. His wife is in jail now because she started stealing to support her habit. My brother said he would never allow it to get that far for him. He willing went to rehab and was there for almost 9 days. He was saved at a young age but started hanging around the wrong people in his mid to late 20's. He has been seeking the Lord alot lately. Since he has came home from rehab he looks like a new person. He gives the glory for 9 days sober to the Lord and wants his life back. Please pray for him to have the strength to face each day. Please pray for his wife for she has never been saved and has been reading the Bible and asking questions about forgiveness. They each have a long road ahead of them and with the help of the Lord , they will make it. Me and my parents need prayer as well because there is always the fear of what if he or she goes back but I do not want to fear I want to trust that God will help them and us.

Romans 8 :28

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

2 Timothy 1:7

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

PRAISE THE LORD

I was getting ready for work this morning and my mom was telling me what happened to my 5 year old nephew the other day. My older brother and his wife have 3 kids. They have a 15 year old daughter, 12 year old boy, and a 5 year old boy. They have been raised in church and homeschooled pretty much their whole life. This year their church decided to have a school and they wanted my sister in law as a teacher. She went ahead and said yes( she is going back to homeschooling). These kids have always heared Bible , so much so that when my sister in law starts saying a verse the 5 year old finishes. Well for the last few days he has been acting funny. My niece kept him while their mom and other brother went to practice and my niece said she saw him laying on the floor with his face to the floor. When she asked him what he was doing he told her "he was praying". The next day he came over to my house and when my niece told him to tell nana what happened to him my mom said with tears running down his face he told my mom he got saved. Now some might say he is to young to understand.  As a matter of fact my 32 year old brother said he was to young to understand . Well after I heard my 5 year old nephew tell his grandmother how and why he got saved the only thing I have to say is HE UNDERSTOOD BETTER THAN A 32 YEAR OLD AND PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD..................................................................

Sickness and graphics

I am really getting into the graphics. There is sooo many beautiful graphics to choose from. I love the 2 collections I got from pollyanna graphics. She has many wonderful things on her web page and she is pretty reasonable. I love this because I am very much a girly girl and this very much speaks of me. I hope everyone is doing well. I am fighting sickness. It seems like everyone is having sinus problems. Last  Sunday my pastor was sick and my Sunday school teacher was getting over it. I have been coughing and blowing my nose for almost a week now and I stayed home from church today because this stuff makes me tired. Lords will I am on the mend .

So Glad it is spring

Well it is that time of year again. The time of year that I take  a  3 day weekend for planting flowers and our vegetable garden. Me and my parents have planted a vegetable garden now for 2 years in a row and each year the Lord has blessed us with lots of stuff even thru a horrible drought. My dad is very thrifty when it comes to conserveing water. Well in a couple of weeks we will be planting and we are going to plant tomatoes, squash, green beans, corn, okra, and a new apple tree( we already have one but need another to cross pollanate).  So Lord's will I am going to post pictures of our labour.

Starting over

I wanted to start over. Start over with a new page and new entries. There is so much going on in mine and my families life right now and I will need to talk about it over time. One thing I am most grateful for right now is that I am finally done with school. It has taken me just over a year but by the grace of God, He saw me through. I am waiting on my final paper for my last english class to be graded but once it is I have finally at the age of 37 years old graduated high school. The school told me that it would most likely be this week that I would get my final grade. I am so glad because this will now free me up to spend alot more time in the Bible. I try and read every day before I go to work but I want to spend more time in it than just a few minutes. We are going thru some battles in my family right now and the only peace and solace that I find is on my knees and in Gods word. PLease, please, please remember my family in your prayers. My younger brother is married to a young lady who is practically tearing him apart physically, mentally, and spiritually. I fear that if my brother stays with this young lady, we will lose him. As a christian who was raised by 2 Godly parents that have been married now for  over 41 years we have never really believed in divorce and have always believed that with the Lord as the foundation you can work thru most any problem. With this young lady  the problems are on the dangerous ground.

Please help us to pray that God will deal with my brother and open his eyes to the truth of the young lady and that the Lord will lead my brother to do what is right. Also pray for my family that He gives us the strength to get thru it.
