A New Job?

I was offered a part time salary position with medical and dental and 401k benefits. It is in town and is a nonprofit organization. We are praying and thinking about it. Might work and might be too much. I do know it would help us financially and I would actually have health insurance- I am quite old now. I am leaning toward taking the position but am most concerned about my daughter being without me so long. My son would get a car and his own schedule would be taken care of but she is 12 and would miss me being away from her until 2pm.

Life is so complex. I used to think when I was a child that adults had such a simple life. Ha!! How funny is that! But I am so glad that I can go to God in prayer and talk to Him about everything. He helps me so much!😃❤️

Missing the Farm/ Home

When I think of home, it is the farm and church in Buchanan, Michigan. Sure, I was in the trailer park until I was 9, but we were at the farm a lot and I always felt the most normal and relaxed there. I hung out with the black lab Sheba. We ran through the fields. I climbed on the farm equipment and sat in the tires about 3-4 times my size. The smell of dirt calms my soul to this day. A hard days work makes dinner taste so much better, and we had great cooks in our family. Bad cooks and non-singers need not apply in our family. And if we weren’t at the farm or suffering through school (just because I aced everything never meant I liked it, I was just ambitious), we were at church. Yes, I spent a lot of time with Shawny and Jody (before we lost her), my best friends, and riding on bikes. But we were at church every Sunday morning and evening and Wednesday night and for every single event they had otherwise. Best people in the world!

My heart is still there and I am itching to get back there something fierce- to visit or live, makes no difference to me at this point. But if God pulls us out of here before that can happen, that is even better because I know my forever home is always with Jesus and it could not.be better to be where He is physically and not just spiritually. 😄❤

Humble Faith is Our Greatest Asset

There is no stronger, more powerful person in the world than a humble, faith-filled person with a relationship with God, saved by Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit. This is truth and the reason is that when this happens, God in His amazing power and abilities can flow through that person to accomplis anything real or imagined that God desires. ❤

God as Creator

I am amazed when I contemplate how God made everything. It is fascinating and thought-provoking, including awe-inspiring. “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) He made the sky/atmosphere and earth and made light and darkness on day 1, before he made the sun (not until day 4). In fact, He created plants (day 3) before the sun (day 4). I imagine He wanted to emphasize that He breathes life and creates life as opposed to life being dependent on the sun. This reaffirms that God is all we need even when this earth is no more and He transports our soul and spirit to heaven. What a wonderful, comforting truth. I love that He loves us so much to even give us this affirmation. God is such a mighty Creator! I love pondering Him and His masterful work!❤❤❤
