Christmas was here and know gone.....

Well lets see been awhile since been on here and posted anything from series that have had at church that have all been good. And daughters leg surgery and just how life is going period.

Well first of all got a great job started on October 29th and I love it and it has benefits will do me and girls good. I'm off certain holidays with the girls and that is nice too. I'm paid more money but with getting paid more money I lost the food benefits but I will work it out some how. Got the papers suppose to be going to court over child support which probly still won't get any but that is how the judical system works here in Oklahoma the kids our left out and the other parent that is suppose to be paying some support isn't and gets away with it but oh well.

Well we our working on getting our own place me and the girls....My brother and his girlfriend and daughter decided to move up north so that means the house is empty so mom is making two house payments and i'm making the utility bills and I hope that I can make the house payment so mom doesn't but it is hard when you only have one income and you have to make a car payment, loan payment(and hope to get this paid off soon), phone bill, car insurance and etc. But I will manage and I always have positive thinking that God will get me through this as usual. Dad is redoing the living room from ceiling, down the walls, and to the floor and hopefully will be done by Spring or summer and we will be in the house.

Girls our doing great Libby is and will adventurely start pooping in the potty instead of in her pants. She is doing good in school and getting along with friends. She has been a little rebelous and mean and not listening to well so hopefully she will get over this soon. Autumn she is doing good she had her surgery on her leg and she is doing good. She is also doing good in school and liking 3rd grade. The girls got to see their dad on Christmas eve and their other family.

They had a great Christmas and Santa got them lots of stuff and special to them....Between monster high, baby dolls, stroller and a Funtab, Nabi tablet and some jewelry. So thanks to those special people for making my girls Christmas special and we appreciate you for it Love you mom and dad. I got a special ring with girls birthstone and names on from them and I got a Nook tablet from parents and I told mom she didn't need to get me anything for Christmas because they have done enough and doing enough for me and the girls. But she did and surprised me Love my parents and hope I can repay them back one of these days.

Know it is time to get ready to start the new year off right and with someone special I hope. I am moving on with my life and want to get that feeling and falling in love with someone again. And I have feelings for someone and am falling in love with him but just a little on the scared side cause I don't want to be hurt again. Love is so difficult these day and ages and in this time.

End of September and the beginning of October!

Well it is the end of September and it was a great month oldest daughter turned 9 years old and she is loving 3rd she might not be enjoying the more homework but she loves school. Libby she is enjoying going to Head Start and loves riding the bus. Well as for me I have enjoyed learning the new news from nephew Robbie that he is going to be a daddy. The girls adore him and Ashley and Libby told them "no" when they asked her if she was reading for a little cousin and baby. Well then came to the last week of September and got the news that the job I had was closing their doors last day was 28th of September so yep started October with no job great so the question is?

How am I going to pay Octobers bills to tell you the truth I don't know. Got 2 months of car insurance needs to be paid and plus on top of car payment, storage unit needs to be paid and plus supporting 2 girls. Not fun not having a job I can see how people stress and feel horrible when it comes out having no job. But the good side of it did have a group interview with CAP and then had my 2nd interview at the site Disney so know it is just a waiting game to get the call that I got the job.

Autumn Goes in on Tuesday October 9th for her leg specialist and we will see if he is still going to do surgery and take the cyst out so yes alot of things our on my mind these days. But I got wonderful family to support me on all this and friends to help me and left me up and a God to keep the Faith, and Positive going in me!

THREE TYPES OF FUN
EVERY MARRIED COUPLE MUST ENJOY
 
  • FACE TO FACE.
 
How beautiful you sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheaten circled by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Hesbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim... Song of Solomon 7:14
 
  • SIDE TO SIDE.

Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Song of Solomon 7:11
 
  • BELLY BUTTON TO BELLY BUTTON.
Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages. Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom --- there I will give you my love. Song of Solomon 7:11-12
 
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer -- may her breast satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. Proverbs 5:18-19
 
Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first... Revelation 2:5
 
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD---4
STAY PURE
 
  1. SEEK GOD
  2. FIGHT FAIR
  3. HAVE FUN
  4. STAY PURE
  5. NEVER GIVE UP
Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Hebrews 13:4
 
WHY IS IMPURITY IN MARRIAGE INCREASING?
 
  • MORE TEMPTATIONS TODAY THAN IN THE PAST.
  • PEOPLE ARE GETTING MARRIED LATER.
  • GROWING SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT.
 
1) OUTWARD PURITY: THE BEHAVIOR.
 
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity... Ephesians 5:3
 
Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house. Proverbs 5:8
 
Flee from sexual immorality... You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:18, 19-20
 
2) INWARD PURITY: THE HEART.
 
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:9-11
 
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:28
 
 
THREE RESPONSES TO IMPURITY
  1. DEFENSIVENESS
  2. REMORSE
  3. REPENTICE
 
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads too salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10
 
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD---5
NEVER GIVE UP
 
  1. SEEK GOD
  2. FIGHT FAIR
  3. HAVE FUN
  4. STAY PURE
  5. NEVER GIVE UP
 
Some Pharisees came to [Jesus] to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:3-6
 
MARRIAGE IS A COVENANT NOT A CONTRACT
 
  • A CONTRACT IS BASED ON MUTUAL DISTRUST.
  • A COVENANT IS BASED ON MUTUAL COMMITMENT.
 
SOWING AND REAPING IN MARRIAGE
 
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:7-9
 
  1. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.
  2. YOU REAP WHERE YOU SOW.
 
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9
 
 
IT'S AS GOOD AS WE DECIDE IT TO BE!

The Summer is out and school begins.

Well August is over and it is September. And Summer is over and it is back to school we go!

Autumn started 3rd grade this year and her teachers name is Mrs. Romeo and she has a couple of friends in her class from last year in her class. She is glad to be back into school. Her birthday is coming up and she will be turning 9 oh boy we have another year and she will be in the double digest of age she is growing up to fast on me. Going to let her have her first slumber party for her birthday and will be done while parents on vacation so it is all me by myself.

Liberty started going to Head Start this year and next year she will be in PreK. She did good her first week. Memaw took her her first week and I picked her up because bus didn't run this week but the week after labor day it will be running. First day: Memaw took her and then she texted me: "she is their she is to young to go to school" me "she will be alright". Mom telling us about taking Libby to school: "She went over to play with teachers and then her and Autumn told her bye and then she came over and latched on to her. So then she went to play again and Autumn told memaw come on lets go. Mom was walking slowly so incase she ran out the door. Autumn told memaw she will be alright and she will have fun." LOL I thank it was grandma having the transition anxiety not Libby.

Me I have been doing really good and happy been talking to this guy and he seems great and I like him and looks as it is going further into being serious and in a relationship. I Love having these feelings again for another person and getting the attention from him too. Falling in Love is great and it will last forever! Positive always gets you places more then negative gets you!

Enough said later for another time!

The Month of July!!!!

The month of July just flew by us and it is August already and school will be starting in a week for both of my girls. One will be into 3rd grade and the other will be going to Head Start man they grow up so fast they need to slow down for this momma.

Autumn has been doing some what good on her losing weight that doctor wants her to do. She needs to be moving around more and excercising more instead of watching t.v. all the time but can't get that through her head and she is losing 1 lb a month and nutritionist says thats good it's slow but she is losing 1lb a month. She is excited about going into 3rd grade. We go back to leg doctor in October to see when he will be doing surgery to take the cyst out. She is doing good even though her father abandon her and just walked out of her life and doesn't care to see her or support her on her getting a good life.

Liberty well she turned 3 in July and had a Minnie Pool Party and she loved it that her family came and celebrated it with her and she had cousins that swimmed with her. She will be going to Head Start this year she will have fun and get more independance that she has, learn more and more and make lots of new friends. Man next year she will be going to PreK and I will have both girls in big school. She is pretty much a big girl with wearing big girl panties all the time but still has poopy accidents which she knows she can do that in potty too because she has, but she has became my big girl. She is doing good even though her father abandon her and just walked out of the most important part of her life watching her grow and getting to know her, he evidently didn't care to see her or get to know her or support her on getting a good life.

Even though my girls father have walked out of their life and doesn't bother to support them or anything then it is his loss and my gain. They know who takes care of them and has been their for them and they have lots of family that is their for them also and cares for them and loves them. Sorry for the inventing about sperm donors but the United States and especially State of Oklahoma need to step up and take control of these dead beat dads and maybe alot of woman wouldn't be on assistance.

As of for me I'm doing great enjoying going to church and life better than I ever have. I'm much stronger, happier, and positive with life. I have been talking to this guy and which I have been friends with him for along time but he just asked about seeing each other in another way as a couple or more then friends as people would put it. It is going good and will see what happens. He treats me good, listens to me and respects me and that more then what I had when I married the man I was suppose to be with for life. But they say everything happens for a reason so maybe thats why my marriage didn't work because I deserve alot better and always have instead of the verbal abuse and then adventurely the physical abuse by the ex. Thank You Jesus for being their for me through all my bad times in the past several years. You gave me the strength to move on and be strong and positive in my life these days. I hope you let others who our hurting the way I was to move on and let go of the past because life gets better from all the put downs and verbal abuse you get from others. AMEN!

Well i'm done with updating about mine and girls life!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

Experience with Lifechurch.tv!!!

HOW A BIBLICAL MIRACLE WORKS
DR. JOHN MAXWELL

KEY THOUGHT

When there is a NEED sensed by a FEW and each individual UNDERSTANDS his or her RESPONSIBILITY and gives his ALL, regardless of the ODDS, then Jesus works a MIRACLE.

When Jesus arrived, he saw his huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke---like sheep with no shepherd they were.
He went right to work teaching them.
   When his disciples thought this had gone on long enough---it was now quite late in the day---they interrupted: We are a long way out in the country, and it's very late. Pronounce a benediction and send these folks off so they can get some supper.
 Jesus said, "You do it. Fix supper for them."
 They replied, "Are you serious? You want us to go spend a fortune on food for their supper?"
 But he was quite serious. "How many loaves of bread do you have? Take inventory."
 That didn't take long. "Five,"they said,"plus two fish."
   Jesus got them all to sit down in groups of fifty or a hundred---they looked like a patchwork quilt of wildflowers spread out on the green grass! He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples in turn gave it to the people. He did the same with the fish. They all ate their fill. The disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers. More than five thousand were at the supper.   Mark 6:34-44
  • Every miracle begins with a PROBLEM.
  • If you have a PROBLEM, you are a candidate for a MIRACLE from God.

MORE THAN DUST
Pastor Pierre Du Plessis

The Lord gave another message to Jeremiah. He said, "Go down to the potter's shop, and I will speak to you there." So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel.
   But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.
   Then the Lord gave me this message: "O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand."  Jeremiah 18:1-6

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter.... Jeremiah 18-4

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9

People cannot see their own mistakes. Forgive me for my secret sins. Psalm 19:12

But the people replied, "Don't waste your breath. We will continue to live as we want to, stubbornly following our own evil desires." Jeremiah 18:12

But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make. Jeremiah 18:4

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord.
 And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." Isaiah 55:8

For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:9

Perspective

Perspective---1
NOW WHAT?

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. Philippians 1:2-7

  • We all have what and don't understand the why.
  • God always has a why behind the what.
  • I don't have to understand the why to trust God in the what.

TWO QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN LIFE IS HARD


1) NOW WHAT?

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. Philippians 1:12-13

2) SO WHAT?

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Philippians 1:15-18
  • Tis gar plen (tis gar plane): What does it matter? So What?


For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21


Perspective---2
A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING

If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Philippians 2:1-2

phroneo (fron-eh'-o); to set your affection on, to think, to be single-minded.
  • HOW YOU THINK DETERMINES WHAT YOU BECOME.
  • IF YOU THINK LIKE JESUS THOUGHT, YOU'LL LIVE LIKE JESUS LIVED.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3


tapeinophrosune (tap-i-nof-ros-oo'-nay); modesty, humility of mind, lowliness of mind.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus. Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:4-7
  • PLEASING GOD ISN'T ABOUT SELF-PROMOTION BUT SELF-ABANDONMENT.
doulos (doo'-los); a slave, servant. Permanently devoted to do the will of another.
  • SERVING IS NOT WHAT I DO. A SERVANT IS WHO I AM.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest plave and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of Fod the Father. Philippians 2:8-11
  • MY JOY ISN'T BASED ON WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, BUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN ME AND THROUGH ME.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. Philippians 2:17


Perspective---3
SEEING FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
  • WHAT YOU'VE EXPERIENCED DETERMINES WHAT YOU SEE.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Philippians 3:1

THREE DANGERS ALL BELIEVERS NEED TO SEE

1) SEE THE DANGERS OF LEGALISM. (False guilt, and false confidence).

Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. for it is we who are the circomcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh- though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more. circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless. Philippians 3:2-6

2)SEE THE DANGERS OF WORLDLY DISTRACTIONS.

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ... Philippians 3:7-8

skubala (skoo'-bal-a); what is thrown to the dogs, refuse, dung.

...and be found in [Christ], not having a righteous of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ -- the righteous that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:9-11

3) SEE THE DANGER OF SPIRITUAL COMPLACENY.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14


Perspective---4
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON WORRY
  • WORRY IS A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:4-5

WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

1) ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Finally, brothers, whatever is true...noble...right...pure...lovely...admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

2) ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE WHEN WE KNOW WHO TRULY SATISFIES.

I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through [Christ] who gives me strength. Philippians 4:10-13

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

In the Lord I take refuge... Psalm 11:1

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. Psalm 118:8

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Acts 16:31
