Some very deep thoughts tonight. Was blessed to be able to work today. But with work comes some very deep life issues. As I was face to face with a woman that should not be facing death at such a young age, through her tears she asks "Do you think God hears my prayers?," I tell her "He hears them all." She then proceeds to ask me "Do you think he's tired of hearing me ask for healing." NO! God never tires of hearing anything his children have to say to him. Why do we think of God as someone that we cannot be angry with, someone that we cannot cry to, someone that we cannot yell at. God has called us into fellowship with him, he longs for a deep relationship with us. Relationships face good times, bad times, and all the ups and downs, we get angry with one another, but out of love we return to the one that we love with a deeper closeness. I am deciding today which is more important living or dying. What is the guarantee of a tomorrow and what have I done with today? And though I live my life, it will be the dying day that will determine my true future. Will you stand before him and hear "Good and faithful servant" or will you hear "away from me, I never knew you." May your today truly make a difference....

Yeah! You have NO idea how much I needed your comments this morning. The flesh tries to "do good", "do right", & "please all"...WHY? The stones are not far behind, & boy do they hurt! As I struggle to stay focused on God's plan for my life, I feel the enemy at every turn. It's AMAZING when you cry out to Jesus, the retreating begins....it's just not far enough for my personal comfort. It's ok though, I KNOW God has my back (& heart & mind)....it's so amazing the change in me as I grow. The peace and love knowing God is ALWAYS with me (especially during the attacks) is all I need. AND, with the love, guidance and knowledge you and others share with me, makes it ever better. something about "strength in numbers!" Thank you Tammy! I love you and very much look forward to the next entry. Thank you LORD for putting me in this "spot" at this moment! You DO know best!
Toni, I think we take for granted the strength that we can gain from one another. Many of us have these thoughts but never share, not knowing who's life we could have impacted or whose life could have impacted ours had they heeded the call to share. I don't want to get to heaven & see all the gifts unopened that God was ready to give me but I refused to accept. I love you dear.
