as the lyrics in my last post said...
Things change, Plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise, Hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
Time flies, Hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes, Weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer
Jesus will still be there
sometimes i do feel i haven't got a prayer, it hurts too much to say a prayer, but knowing He will still be there is enough!
while pain happens, things hurt, life still goes on - for me, it seems to help to stay busy. and while it feels unbearable at times, it doesn not mean life is awful...on the contrary, it makes me thankful for the grand times of life!
a great thing that has happened is that tarah and i got our stripes at karate last night! we're officially 7th gups!
it's always wonderful to see yourself improving. i guess God knew i would need this at this season in my life - He is in the details of my life!
baking has also been a way to stay "busy." to see how others light up at being given something so simple brings such an unspeakable joy that wants to jump from me! I want to thank berry mom for passing along such great recipes - particularly her poppy seed bread! it's quickly became a favorite and i've already had requests for more!
thanks to star, nic, paula, mom, tarah, berry mom, mike, and gordon for leaving such sweet, thoughtful, encouraging comments! you all have no clue how much i needed a few words to lift me up! you are all such a Godsend! :-)

You're so insightful, so precious. God is, indeed, in the details of life. I pray the Lord will bless you in surprising ways this year. I'm sorry for the hurts that may have happened.
Congrats on the Karate stripes!
And girlfriend, you can bake for me anytime. Just coming by with a hug and a hello, and THANK YOU for such encouraging words at my blog. I'm so blessed to have you as my faithful friend.
love you,
Vicki
Congratulations on getting your stripes! I was in Kung Fu for a while, so I know how exciting that is.
You are very welcome, and that is what friends are for! You have been such a blessing and encouragement to me. And yes God is definitely into the details of our lives. He works in ways unimaginable. He knows exactly what you need. And I truly believe that His hand is on your life. He has such special plans for you, and He will continue to unfold them more and more every day. We will have some bad days where we don't see the blessing, but just wait because He says joy comes in the morning. True joy that is that is find solely in delighting in Him and all He has given us. Keep looking up to our Heavenly Daddy. He's got you covered!
p.s. Congratulations on earning those stripes! You guys are doing great!!
Heb 13:5-6 - "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'"
Amen. I am so thankful that Christ is always there. May God increase your love for him and the passion in your pursuit of him as you glorify him in all of life. It is good to hear that you are using the abilities God has given and are staying healthy. Great job in getting the stripes!
Keep on earning those stripes! You're doing so well!
Oh Sweetie, I am sorry that you are going through sure a rough time right now. I am sending you a huge, mega hug from AZ
