For every lesson I have learned about "false" pride, it seems I need to learn it again and again. If I had a nickel ... And it is so true, when I trust in things of this world, I am brought to my knees each and every time. Thankfully, he welcomes me back each and every time. Amen, indeed!

He had the TEE test a week ago today (tube down his throat to look at his heart), and we are still waiting to hear the results. We are trusting God. The test went so smoothly. My husband has NEVER had any surgery or procedure that required anesthetic before, but he came through with flying colours and we were still able to leave the following day for our planned trip to Lancaster, PA celebrating a year since my surgery and diagnosis. I am "here" daily, just don't write very often. I am preparing to speak at two events this month and I've tried to step back from the computer a little. Well, I have to dash. I see a cardiologist myself this afternoon, so I need to "run". Thanking the Lord for His goodness. Hugs and blessings to you, Joy Hi Karen, thanks for asking after my husband.

I had been fussing this morning and now realize God must hear my heart. my family is filled with crime and drugs and mess and immorality. But this morning i was angry b/c all my ex's are married and i chose to remain celebrate and tried to get my life right. These guys left me, cheated on me and yet God goes on and blesses them anyway, i am struggling and left to care for family who has done nothing but hurt me and abuse me my whole life. its so unfair. (i am no saint tho) i didn't realize this HIGHSCHOOL wound about my color and culture was so important when their are bills and more important things ineed to worry about. i just couldn't get past it, i had had enough.i was angry because a 'best friend' cheated with my guy, and goes on and gets married to someone and has a son and i am single and have nothing. friends can shack up and GOD still choose to bless their unions and they go on and do well, and i MADE the choose to stop sinning and i am alone. i dont get it. i have been deeply hurt and wounded with all the abuse in my family. i hated my father because he was so mean and dont undrestand why God would ask me to go through ANYTHING else and here ppl r beating their wives and they get mercy, but i have to go to face all my misdeeds where is the justice in that. I mean others can get away with whatever they want and i THINK wrong and GOD comes out from the sky and beats me down. I can't do anything and still am single. i was outraged. then i saw your post and realized this. even in church these men have cheated lusted and lied and people find out about my sin, i get strung up my the ankles but the poor baby gets a slap on the wrist. i am bitter. the same man who made my life a living hell never said he was sorry gets to ride into glory on a cloud and im left with his mess, broken relationships to boot and a whole lotta family confusion. it doesnt seem fair. i have to be honest im a little angry and i really didnt realize how much so until i read this post today. Yeah i got it BAD, i have been holding in this bitterness for a VERY long time. it is DEEPLY rooted and i suppose i wont be able to do very much successfully until i let GOD deal with me i hope i can get to the bottom of it and move on please pray for me, because because of the things in my past i am done really bad things in my present because i felt 'justified' so to speak after all these people harmed me and never even said they were sorry. thanks. this helped me so much this morning i am SOOO bitter, and i found this email in my box.

Especially "At what cost am I willing to exchange my desires for God's?" My husband and I are seeking wisdom in handling our young adult daughter who suffers from depression. We are dealing with some difficult decisions in all this. My husband is handling it better than I am - he isn't so emotionally wrapped up in it as I. I am submitting to the decisions that he is making even though I feel like they are rather "tough". (tough love) My desires for my kids are that they not suffer or experience pain but that is just not reality - I need to exchange those unreal expectations for God's plan for their lives which, realistically, will probably include difficulty, adversity. Put them on the altar and pray that God will give me strength and wisdom to handle what He brings into their lives. Thanks Wendy - you brought into the light something I really need to pray about.

I'm doing Hidden Joy in a dark corner with Wendy Blight and this weeks topic quiet time. I have always wanted to find the right time, and place for mine so unsure how a quiet time space looked i went in search for images of what spaces looked like, I never found videos or images that worked for me and while i was in the midst of all that I heard a voice say " What aren't you asking ME how your quiet time with Me should look like" Instantly i knew it was from God, This is my third day I have enjoyed my quiet time and God has met me right where i am with exactly what I needed. Today was no exception Today I am Thankful the Holy Spirit knows exactly the words to say to God on my behalf. and this morning at 330 am I found my spirit singing praises to God. When I awoke all i could do was thank God for all He does for me. Here are the words that stayed with me after I awoke " You know all of my wants you know all of my needs. I may not get all of my wants but I do get all of my needs. And what I need is Jesus. Feeling the blood wash over me cleansing me and washing me clean. And refreshing me with His living water. Jesus died for my sin and brought me salvation. All I need is Jesus... Jesus... Jesus." After those words I awoke and immediately prayed and thanked God for all He is and All He does for me.

Here are the words that stayed with me after I awoke ” You know all of my wants you know all of my needs. I may not get all of my wants but I do get all of my needs. And what I need is Jesus. Feeling the blood wash over me cleansing me and washing me clean. And refreshing me with His living water. Jesus died for my sin and brought me salvation. All I need is Jesus… Jesus… Jesus.”
