Hi Aunt Pat!!!  I love it!!!  This is just how I was feeling this morning!

Love you
Heather

Marilyn I have Jake and Bruno bumping my arm too most mornings.  Jake gets his head right under my hand to totallt stop me from typing.  It is so funny,  he wants all my attention on him and nothing else.  I give him the attention and he is content . . . . . for about 5 minutes then it starts again.  LOL LOL LOL  His blindness is increasing, if he sees something unusual, even if he can get around it, (if I park the car in a different place) he will stop and not try to go around at all unless I am there to guide him.  I am his seeing eye person.

So Sad

Poor Jakey.....reading this brought tears to my eyes.....He is such a sweet dog.  I really miss him.  Give him a hug from me please.  

Love from me

Hey Pat

Somebody woke up grumpy. FROG.

Anybody know what FROG means! ! ! !

Shhhhhhhhh Heather

I just wanted to share with you all how my last few days have been going.  

I have a purpose, not sure what it is yet but I have a purpose.  God made me and loves me.    I am telling myself that every chance I get.  Me being here isn't about me, it is about God!  I need to stop focusing my attention on me.  I am not getting anywhere doing that.  I need to focus my attention on God and the purpose he has for me.  

This is the happiest I have been in a long time.   or maybe ever.  I am understanding it now.  All this time I was reading the bible and doing what was right, but not having a purpose and knowing there is a purpose for me.  

God does not lie, He can not lie so I need to trust Him and believe what He says is true.  Thank you Lee!  You helped me with that.  

You all are so great! Thank you all for being my friend.

Thanks Etta Sue for the book recommendation.  I love it.  My family loves it.  We are memerizing scripture everyday.

You know what else is cool?  This past week as God has been speaking to me through all of you and just in the little things in my life that go on daily here.  He has guided me to this point and I trust that he will guide me even farther.  Man, that is so awesome!!!!!!!

God is Awesome!!!

Thanks for listening...I hope this all makes sense to you because i am just so jazzed here.  I am not sure how to write down all that i feel.

Have a good day all!!!  God loves you!

Sonja

I am praying that everyone has a God Blessed Day!

Jane ~ How did the MRI come out?  Any diagnosis yet?

Marilyn ~ I call and make appointments (not exactly appointments but to see if they are going to be home) to see my son because they are sooooo busy.  He is 11 miles away and I would hate to go and them not be home or are heading out the door or, heaven forbid, that I keep them from doing something they had planned.  I let Tony know that Jerry and I were stopping last evening.  Charlene wasn't there.  Two times now.  I kiddingly let him know that I was getting the message that she didn't want to see us.  Talk about someone that has the candle lit at both ends...Charlene does!  But she is a sweetie!  Two of Charlene's kids haven't been in this house and I have been here 2 years next month.  That is okay....they are busy like their Mama.

In our small group, it was discussed how we portrayed God when we were a child.  Some said they were scared of God because he was Father and their own father was not a kindly nice man and some were even missing from the family.  I think that would be hard.  Jesus Christ was a friendly God where the Father wasn't so friendly as portrayed in the OT.  

Okay...I am determined to do these PSP lessons and get them out of my way.  I do believe they bring some stress to my life.  But I am also not a quiter...when I start something, I stick with it until it is done.  So as soon as I get caught up and eat a bite of lunch, then it is lesson time for me.  Homestead emailed me another fix for my Website but it still doesn't work....

"When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always be worse.  And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better."

Wow!  That sure fits yesterday and today's discussion!

JENNY

YOU ARE SOOOO

FUNNY

Shhhhhhhhh Heather

I know, I know.....LOL

Fully relying on Golf!!!!!  giggle......I just had to.  It is what my father in law would say.  And now that I have given a hint, others will be able to guess.....

I am out of here, have a big day planned.

Love
Heather

Sonya thank you.  That was something I needed to hear today.  I have been strugglling too with the same point.  What kind of purpose can God have for a 54 yo woman.  There doesn't seem to be a vision either.  Like you put it I need to focus on HIM and less  on me.

Hi Pat! I love you too.    That little frog is so cute.  LOL..funny too.


Heather~ that is great that you want to go back to school.  You go girl!  You can do it.  I didn't graduate from highschool either, not that it was boring but I had a job and had to pay for my rent and food and stuff.  I tried going to school and working but it was to hard for me.  And of course I had to make a living so I chose the job.  
I did later in life get my GED.  I will go to the community college here when my girls get a little older.  This is going to sound weird, but I would love to learn how to weld.  I would love to make things out of iron that people would like to stick in their yard.    
Anyhow, good luck!
Sonja

Hello hello hello hello
Just buzzing in for a minute before I buzz off to work.

Sonja -- AWESOME.  You go girl.  Keep that jazz!


I really don't mind people just dropping in on me, but when Travis was really little, I appreciated a phone call or something so I knew he was fed.  The biggest reason to call here before you come by is to make sure we are here.

I'll drop by my mom's without notice, but I usually call my in-laws, just to make sure they aren't busy.  

GOD

As a teen I was really afraid.  In so many areas of life I was a faillure.  In school the teachers would give me marks for pictures and diagrams just so they could get me out of their class.  I lived most of my life in a pea soup kind of fog.  How could God love me when I was so unable to meet the grade, or for that matter even see beyond my immediate surroundings.  It has taken a long time to realize that I don't have to meet any kind of grade that my Father loves me for who I am not what I do.  It has been hard.

BUT ..... GOD IS GOOD


ALL THE TIME.

In case anyone is interested, please join in

The Purpose Driven Life[/b].

You'd be very welcome.

Oh, Sonja!  I am so happy to see (hear? read?) you being so happy and jazzed!  Thank you, God!  I wanted to tell you, too, to please read the book of Revelation.  It is the only book in the Bible we are promised to be blessed just for reading it! And though some passages are a little hard to understand, lots of it is very clear.

Jenny........ You got that??? Clear over in England??  I'm worse than I thought!

Hi Karma!  Did you get to sleep a little later this morning?

Well!! Good morning <again>.  For some reason the email notification didn't work for me this time and I have just plowed through   read three pages of posts to get to this place!  Now, while I'm writing, I suppose several more will come in.  Oh, well, I'll just say "Hi" to [size=+2]EVERYONE!!   [/size] that should do it!  

I am really happy that so many are finding "purpose" for their lives.  I often wondered just what purpose there was for my life.  I have come to understand that, for this time in my life, I am to be "restfully available" for whatever He has or wants to do through me.  I just want to get myself out of the way -- totally -- so Jesus can be seen and touch lives as we (Jesus in me) go about the every day--every moment--things of life.

I got an email from my Pastor Ron this morning.  He wrote: "Thank you so much for all your help and encouraging words and PRAYERS . You are such a gift from our Lord. God bless you and your day, and keep on keeping on!!"  That's all Jesus, none of Jane.  I wrote in the bulletin recently: "Today is a gift from God.  That's why it's called the present.  Use it wisely."  As far as I'm concerned every day is a new beginning ... a gift from God ... and I will (I choose to) rejoice and be glad in it!


ETTA SUE~ I don't know when, or if, I'll know the results of the MRI.  There is really no reason to tell me anything anyway cuz I know there's nothing to tell!  My doctor is going to be out of the office for the next two weeks and when he returns I am scheduled for a stress test on the treadmill.  That will be the 13th of Nov.  

I have spent enough time here for now ... I'll be back d'rectly, however....after I find something for breakfast.

PAT~I love your "Good Morning"!!    

thanks Janet.

((((hugs))))

No, Karma didn't get to sleep much later.  Trabman woke up about 6:50, and he was ready for a day full of fun.  Looks like the shift from Daylight Savings to Eastern Standard means that Karma can't stay up till 14 o'clock at night any more....

Hello, everybody!  Glad to see Sonja jazzed up!  

Nita, there's no way I would pay that much to have a camera over a year old fixed.  That is, unless it were a $500 or more camera.  But that's just me.  If you really like it, it might be worth it.  But $2-300 will get you a really good camera, these days.  I would definitely do some shopping.  

Gotta go get some lunch.  I'll drop back by later!

Bye now!

Mieka...........

"Fairest Lord Jesus"  I'm not familiar with your hymn.

The watch was given to me by my now deceased father. My son will get it when I go "home".  I was pointing out the rip off without my approval.

I am off to start my day.  Thanks everyone for the fun morning.  Have a good day all!

Sonja

I see.  The rip off's are getting worse too.  My son has a camera that John gave him.  He sent it in to be repaired and it is costion him about $300.  The camera is not worth half of that, he agreed to it because of the sentimental value.  

I am off for French and Art classes.  Melaura has choir practise from 7:00 to 10:00  tonight.  We won't be home till close to 11:00.  

See y'all later.

Wow I was off the computer for less than 1 hour and had 2 1/2 pages to read to catch up.

I have been on the phone to a couple of my friends down south in Lucerne Valley. The smoke is very bad there and the people of LV have opened up their homes to the one evacuated from Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead.

The market there that usually closes at 10 pm is remaining open for 24 hours to accomodate the people coming down the mopuntain from BB.

My friend Mona has her whole family with her that had to evacuate their home and some other people and animals from BB. She said the smoke is so thick it looks like night. They have to keep their heads and faces covered from the smoke and hot ash falling  everywhere.

I also spoke to Kitty who is having a rough time because of her lung problem. Pauls surgery hs not been rescheduled yet, not way to get down the Cajon pass until all this fire is over.

Well that's all for now, just thought I would update you on the place I used to live. Pray for everyone.

Heather..........

Perhaps you might set your sights on the basics first, and as you accomplish each goal, i.e., high school education,  Then and only then start to work toward completing your prerequisites.  Only then look to what you will do after that.  I fear we sometimes set our sights too high and never seem to reach the first step.  I did that at one time and after a time and learned it was called "dreaming".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHY..........
Mieka forgot to invite me so i'll just crash the party.

I received this in an email from Francy and Janet...  Thought I'd share it with you all...

God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you.

He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.  

Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for the entire world to see.[/color][/b]

Etta Sue............

I believe we can blame adult teachers for making our Lord appear as the bad guy in the old Testament.  Thank the Lord we have the capability to read for ourselves and are able to see just how loving God (Jesus Christ) truly was in the O.T.  And then through our studies we are able to understand His fury (anger) toward His wayward children, and how it was also directed toward His enemies.
