I am so happy to be able to share with you all that God is doing in this ministry and in life. What an awesome God we serve! I will do my best to share with you weekly what is happening at each class and event God allows me to speak/sing at. Check back often! God has been very busy!

Have you ever had one of those days where everything that could go wrong did but then so many good things happened you felt like you were on a roller coaster ride? Well.. that was my today!
Sometimes I really struggle with how honest to be on these blogs. Some might say I shouldn't share anything that might show alot of weakness. I think thats a load of hogwash. I am weak - He is strong. I make HUGE mistakes and my God covers them all with His grace. I think we all need to just get real with one another about our dissapointments and pain. you know what? I don't care about my typo's and mispellings either. SO there!!!!
Here is part of my day in a nut shell :
BAD- Woke up knowing today was the 20 year anniversary for the worst day of my life with the worst memory of my life of the worst mistake I made of my life.
GOOD- Know enough of God's Word to be free anyway!! Also got to meet with a friend to share those feeling with!
BAD_ Had a cancellation on an appointment I was really looking forward to.
GOOD- Got to meet with two of the sweetest ladies on the face of the earth who have been a bit lonely lately.
BAD- Got in a huge fight with someone I love dearly. Didn't handle it as I should have.
Good - Got the huge blessing of hearing my youngest son started a bible study at school
BAD- Had to cancel my evening class
Good - Counted 15 new volunteers
BAD- having major issues with the book getting ready for print ( I hate computers!)
Good - Have a hubby that is going to work on it for me
Bad- am so overwhelmed with administrative stuff!!
Good- Get to hand over that administrative stuff tomorrow! yipee!
BAd- HEADACHE
Good - Ibuprofin...
So... what's my point?
I read in Job where Job told his wife " shall we accept good from the Lord and not adversity?"
God has given me so much to be grateful for, I am learning to take the good with the bad. Although I didn't get through the day as perfectly as I wish, I am so aware these days of how God's grace is sufficient for me. I love the freedom in knowing that. Tomorrow, I pray I will take the good with the bad and praise Him in both a little better than I did today
