I am often asked how do I trust and hold onto something I can't see. How I know God is there. It's because I believe in Him. My Lord is my precious Savior. He is the forgiver of my sins. He alone knows my fears & drys all my tears. In His perfect time, all my dreams will come true. God gives me faith, hope & love. I have seen miracles that He alone made happen. I feel His holy power when I pray & sing to Him. A Power so great it gives me chill bumps and makes me tremble. My eyes fill…

Through many storms I stand strong. I believe in miracles & dreams that do come true. Waiting on Mr. Right to come my way. Knowing God has a plan.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a good future. Jeremiah 29:11

I HAVE LOOKED AT THE OUTSIDE OF PEOPLE AND JUDGED THEM. I PRAY FOR GOD TO FORGIVE ME! PEOPLE WHO LOOK ROUGH, LIKE A TAT MAN CAN BE A GOOD PERSON INSIDE. CARING FOR OTHERS AND BEING A MENTOR TO YOUNG MEN SEEKING HELP. I AM ASHAMED THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT THE OUTSIDE OF PEOPLE INSTEAD OF INSIDE THEIR HEARTS & ACTIONS. GOD HAS TAUGHT ME AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

I've said it before & have to say it again! Our Sunday school teacher ROCKS!! He & his wife Shannon have a passion for doing God's will. They have made a great impact on my life. We are losing singles and marriages to this sinful world. Our teens are at risk too. Together we can reach them & share the stories of Jesus & the right way to live. Sharing our own stories will help alot too. Alot of people feel like some things only happen to them. High 5 to John & Shannon Howell.

I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH FRIEND'S ON HEAVEN & HELL. I WAS SURPRISED THAT SO MANY THOUGHT BOTH WERE HERE ON EARTH. THAT GOD WAS GOING TO COME AND RENEW THE EARTH. I GOT OUT MY BIBLE AND TURNED TO REVELATION 21:2 AND PROVED TO THEM THAT THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, WAS COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HEAVEN. REVELATION 20:1 - 3 THE ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN HOLDING THE KEY TO THE BOTTOMLESS PITT. HELL IS A PIT THE UNSAVED WILL BE THROWN DOWN INTO. I WAS SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO SHARE…

No surprise that I will be 50 on Sunday. I thought that this birthday would be most dreaded...but as I prayed to God, all I could do is thank Him for letting me live these last 50yrs. Thanking him for all the blessings He has poured into my life. Thanking Him for all the precious angels that I have to love. Thanking Him for the trials He has put in my life and brought me through each & every one! Thanking Him for the times He carried me when I was too weak to walk. God has surprised me that…

Yesterday was the one year mark that Jake left me. I am ashamed to say I didn't think I was going to survive the pain. With God's help, and the support if family, church & friends I made it through. No surprise that God is stronger than anyone! He will always carry us when we are to weak to walk. Thank you God for my family, life & most of all my salvation.
Have a good week-end to all,
Angela

I was surprised at how rude people can be. On St. Patrick's Day we had all the kids sitting front row on some beach wicker pads. Some rude people came and were stepping all over the throws, almost stepping on the kids. My reaction wasn't Christ like. I told them to move out of the kids way. My mom also asked them to move. They responded, This is a public road. After awhile the kids got up and stood right at the parade path. I went over & said if you will move off the pads I will move this st…

I have two funny surprises and then a serious one. Saturday around 3am, I was going downstairs to get some tea when I missed the top step and fell down 15 stairs. Bruised my left thigh and hit my head but was ok. I was surprised that I had fallen & couldn't get up...for a few seconds. Sunday we had Cayla's 11th birthday party at her house. Shannon had (MADE) us play egg toss. I threw an egg to Alexis and it got all in her hair. She chased me down and hit me in the mouth with a very hard egg…

Had a very busy week-end. It was nice spending time with God, family & friends all week-end. No surprises. Last night my deceased aunt's cat died. Her name was Ms Kitty and she's been living with my brother who is always strong and never gets emotional. We all miss my mom's baby sister, Amber who passed away Jan 26. 2007 at the age of 57. I was surprised today at how that pain comes back so strong! My brother cryed as he buried Ms Kitty. I've been crying and though my mom tries to hide her t…

Tonight for Alexis's 15th birthday I got her a recording CD package. She could invite 3 to 4 friends. Her 2 sister's Brooke & Cayla went along with her long time friend Trisha. They each got to record a song of their choice and do a group song together. I was in awe at how really good they were. They got to rehearse each song before they recorded it. One song Alexis & Brooke picked was Jesus take the wheel. It was so sweet and country twangy. God has given all these girls the gift of sin…

Today I got a surprise that made me sad. My 15yr old grandaughter said so many kids at her school are on drugs and drinking. Because she has a Godly family and awesome church family, she doesn't give in to the peer pressure. We need God and prayer back into our school's. Our children/grandchildren are the next generation of leaders. Praying and teaching God's laws to them will show them how to live a life that is pleasing to God. With discipline, family and a awesome, open minded youth minister,…

Today my sweet surprise was my 2yr old grandson, Dylanger calling me from his mom's cell phone. She had called me earlier in the day. He had the phone in his room, hit the green button and got grandmommie on the phone. It was so precious. All the other grandchildren call me grandma. His little voice said grandmommie. I said, Dylanger is that you? He said huh, what'd you say? Then he began taking alot of baby talk. I'm sure he knew what he was saying. After 10 mins or so, I told him to take the p…

An ordinary day. A extraordinary God with a extraordinary plan. God's plans are well worth waiting for. We may be tempted to take matters into our own hands, Don't risk God's perfect intentions for you by relying on your own schemes. This is something I'm working on. God's plan will make us thrive and not be knocked down by life's setbacks. I must remember that God is faithful and always keeps His promises....even if we have to wait. God will surprise us with so much happiness and understanding…
