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.

university bound

This from a person who is almost certain that she has Alzheimers . . . yesterday I signed up to finish my bachelors degree. I know! Crazy!

To help me remember, because I still have that same nightmare from back in the old high school days about forgetting my combination for my locker, I'm going to write down my classes. So excited!

Inst tech for online learning
Developmental Psychology

Cont World View
Intro to Christian Counseling

Class for me starts Feb 9th.

Never did I think that I would be able to become what I have always dreamed of becoming. Well, kind of. I've always wanted to be a monk but I'm missing some parts and I'm not a Roman Catholic and I don't really relish the old hairstyle.

Two years in college, then another bit of time spent in further study, and then a few other things need to be done and then . . . 

I spent the first 50+ years selfishly. I hope to spend the next 50+ years, as Doug B. says, in service for our Lord. Finding this church has allowed me to realize my dream. I saw somewhere a graphic that speaks of how God will order your ways, wait, I think that is an actual verse in the Bible. lol

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:6

I spent the first years walking a path of my own choosing and I messed it up mightily.  God willing I want Him to choose my path. I know I don't get to choose how long my life will be. However long He gifts to me I want to work for Him.

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.
