A Meatloaf Apology

      We had a visitor for supper this evening, a friend of my husband's. Now I'll admit it, this friend and I have had some rough patches in the past. But since I've rededicated my life to Christ, I've been kindly reminded that everyone should see Jesus in me. Now let me tell you, it is NOT easy for me to keep my mouth shut and smile, especially when I have what I think is important things to say. But this evening I felt as if God was weighing it on my heart to do something about it, so I told my husband to invite his friend to stay for supper (pretty sure he had to pick his jaw up off the floor LOL).  Now I am not good at just coming out and apologizing, but I am good at cooking a killer meatloaf (well so says my husband lol). You know, I don't even know why I was so stressed out over it all, supper went amazing! You would have never known there had been any sort of tension between us! God is good! I pray that he sees Christ through me :)

Dear Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.
Thank you for guiding me and holding my hand through this life.
Let my friends see You through me Jesus!!
Amen!!!!

Have a blessed Sunday!!

Looking on the "bright side" of life

        Some days I feel like I'm standing in 3 feet of mud and can't move and life is running me over. Ever feel like that? Since my youngest child's constant health problems and stays in the hospital, I've started feeling like that A LOT. Now I read a quote a few weeks ago that hit me like a ton of bricks.  "Rest. God is in control."  A sense of peace overwhelmed me and I began to ask God for forgiveness and thanking Him for basically smacking me in the face with that quote LOL.
         For those who know me well, they know I've become overwhelmed with the abundance of doctor visits, and now having 2 specialists, and the numerous hospital stays that my precious baby boy has had to endure. I may not understand why he has seizures and breathing problems, but what I DO know is that my savior has complete control, and there is a reason for all of this!!! I'm so thankful that when I'm scared or when Grady is very sick, I know God has His hand on us!!


God Bless and Hope your day is wonderful!!
