On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Christian

I am worried about this blog being public. I don't want anyone to not like Christians because of what they read here.

Please know that I am just a woman.

I may be 51 and I may claim to be a Christian but what Christian means to me is someone who wants so much to be a child of God. I believe that Christ is the son of the living God. I have complete and total faith that God is real. I want to be good and I want to do all that is good. The only problem is I am human and I know so little and make so very many mistakes.

So please don't judge me harshly because I say I am a Christian. Or turn away from God because I say things you find stupid. This blog is all about me learning. I know many things I say are stupid and just wrong in many many ways. I'm trying to work through them.

Plus, to me, being a Christian means that I know I am a sinner and that I have placed my faith and hopes in God.

It is not that I am holier than anyone. I know I am not!

I am just a woman who places her love and trust in God - in Jesus.

I question and I rant on this blog and I use it for memory purposes. That's why you'll see things about my health or about my family. This blog is a way for me to put my thoughts in order. It is not to confuse any one else about their relationship with God or with women.

It is just me trying to grow up out of this fog I'm in.

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
  • God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
  • God please guide the leaders of the world.
