God's Word
In every situation I find myself in...... every struggle or trial... in times of want and times of plenty... in situation of grief or joy... in area's of confusion and fear.. times of pride and humility... correction and conviction..... I wrestle with the power of the flesh...and try to choose the path I know will honor God... do I always get it right?? NOPE... I do however take great comfort in these scriptures from God's Word and pray that this will be my heart attitude in all things....
Philippians 4: 6-7
Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1: 7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline
Hebrews 13: 8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Spring Fever
I wish I was talking about that feeling you get at the end of winter and the beginning of nice weather, and all you can think about is getting out in the sun... unfortunately, I'm NOT...
Somehow Darren and I have both come down with awful 'Spring Fever' colds!!!!
One day, your feeling great... life is good and the birds are singing!!!! The next day- you can't breathe, your head hurts, your hot/ then your cold, you are sneezing, coughing and don't sound anything like yourself...
On my desk at work today I've got cold pills, tissues, tea and cough drops!! Not a pretty sight, but Praise God for modern technology that creates such things to help us feel better in our time of illness----

Shiktehawk
This is the scripture that the Lord guided me to this weekend... or I should say, just one of them... and how powerful this one is to me and what I've been walking in.
Galatians 5:1- So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slave to the law.
The Lord spoke loudly this weekend to His daughters.... what wonderful work was done! The only way I've been able to explain this weekend to those that ask is "painfully beautiful".... God is good like that! Not only did we all hear from the Father this weekend...but we had great prayer warriors with us interceding for all the ladies there..... the worship was blessed and the alone time was hard, but a 'hurts so good' encounter... and the fellowship was precious!

Time away with God
As I finish up the last minute details and packing this morning to go off to Camp Shiktehawk (our womens prayer summit).... I'm meditating in my mind on Hebrews 4.... entering the rest of God.... what does that mean? Is it a spiritual rest or a physical rest?... Is it something different for every person? In the crazy, busy, stressed out, over the top and nutty life we all lead.... how do you actually find the time to rest in God... Sometimes I feel like my life is on fast forward and I have no 'stop' or 'pause' button.... and I'm sure I'm not alone in that feeling.... Well... this weekend I'm going to ask God that very question... I'm going to go to the Father...the creator of the universe, my Lord and my saviour.... and simply ask. Show us Father how to rest in you!

My Sister
I have a sister...her name is Tania... let me tell you about her.
She is a wife, mother, sister, niece, daughter, friend, realtor, confidant, housekeeper, taxi driver, follower of Jesus...... and then some!
She is my younger sister, but sometimes takes the place in my life where she 'mothers' me and gives me the advice and guidance I need to hear. She is loving, caring, honest, sweet, funny, beautiful, respectful and giving. She is tender when I need her to be... blunt when I need to hear it... the hug when I need it... a shoulder to cry on when I need to shed those tears.... She has been my rock more times than I can count. Don't get me wrong...we have had our fair share of 'disagreements'... but have come out on the other side of those times, stronger... more deeply connected and better friends than we were before we entered that season. I look over my life and see the times when she was the ONE... and feel so blessed and comforted that God knew we needed each other. In the puzzle that is our lives... the creator of the univerise took the precious time to place our puzzle pieces together so perfectly. The next time you see my sister... tell her I love her!!!!

Farewell Old Friend
Romeo Condon
1993-2008
Darren and I said good-bye to our sweet kitty Romeo yesterday. He was a loving, faithful and loyal friend and we will miss him always. Our hearts are broken, but we know we made the right decision to let him go. He had a tumor and the vet told us about a month ago that he way dying, we tried to overlook his lack of eating, his extreme weight loss and the lack of activity... but this past weekend it was evident that Romeo was ready to go. Good-Bye sweet kitty... we love you!
