Only Thing

I was touched today by this song- it says so much how I feel of my life!
By Ronnie Freeman

Only Thing

I heard someone say the other day

They'd seen in me true love displayed

Blessed by something I had done for them

No sooner had they said these words

I found myself somehow disturbed

Uneasy as I took their compliment

Cause I know the heart inside this man

I know the truth of who I am...

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

I know me well enough to know

No matter what this life may show

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

If you could walk the hallways of my heart

And see things as they really are

I wonder if you might be surprised

Seeing faded walls of pride and fear

Rooms I've filled with faithless tears

And corners where I've stood in compromise

But you'd see the work His grace has done

You'd know just how far I've come

In a thousand years

When the dust of this world clears

And I look back on my life

And see in perfect light

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

I know me well enough to know

No matter what this life may show

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

I know me well enough to know

No matter what this life may show

The only thing that's good in me is Jesus

Thank you dear friends for your prayers this week. We have laid our fears and troubles at the feet of Jesus and we rest that HE will show us the way.

Rest on the LORD

Today, I have had to remind myself that I need to REST ON THE LORD in everything. Have you ever felt like everything is going just right-walk with God is good- things are good- job is good- relationships are good- and then all of a sudden a wrench is thrown into the mix-then you feel like the supposed solid ground you were on is NO LONGER SOLID but shaky? Well, I am having one of those days. I think we are approaching a time of change in our lives. Paul's job has been shaky the past few months. Today, after months of praying and talking about it we decided that it was time for Paul to find a new job. Not that he does not enjoy his job- because he truly has enjoyed the years he has been with them- There are some decisions that the company has been making that have made Paul feel unsteady- A few months ago they laid off his entire department. Paul thankfully was not one of the ones laid off- but there are signs once again that another lay off is coming. This is not sitting well with either one of us. We have finally come to a point where we rather have a PLAN B- and through prayer- God has given us peace about a job change. Sometimes for some people change is very scary.
So- Please pray with us these next few weeks we will need to see what and where the Lord leads us. It is so important that we follow God's leading and NOT our wants. We truly don't want to do something that is out of God's will- since there is ALWAYS consequences to not following God.

Busy Saturday

I love Saturday and Sunday! They are both days that I get to rest. I needed to get the oil changed for the car so I got up early and went to do that! PTL we have a 4 year maintenance contract and the oil changes are FREE.... However when they were done with the oil change they brought to my attention that the tires needed changed. It did not surprise me... We have not changed them since we got the car over 3 years ago. Toyota wanted me to change them there- but NO WAY am I paying the price they have! I went to Walmart to get them changed. It is great to kill two birds with one stone- I went grocery shopping while they changed my tires. I am home tired now~ I just finished cooking lunch and I am waiting on the spinach quiche to cook in the oven. We are having homemade quiche with fresh fruit.

Remainder of the visit

Well, all of my house guests are gone! We had an interesting few days- full of fun and excitement. Rachel and Lizzie arrived and it felt like we were non-stop the whole time they were here.
Wednesday of last week we went over to Pastor Mario and Gabby to help with the donations. They were blessed with many donations this time. God has been good to them and supplying all their needs. It is a great testimony to me on the power of God! We helped sort, organize and make bags for the church members.
Thursday we had a fabulous "girls day". We went to get pedicures and Rachel even got a manicure. We truly enjoyed ourselves this day.
Friday- I had mediation to attend- which took a whole lot longer than anticipated. I drove to Pahrump, NV and spent 6 hours there with no resolution at all. The attorney was quite upset that NO resolution was accomplished. After mediation, I raced home (it took me 45 min to get home) and packed up for our trip to San Diego. We picked Paul up at work and started our California adventure.
Saturday we spent the day at Sea World. It was so much fun- Best of all was watching Rachel and her reaction to certain shows and animals. We spent all day there until 7:30 p.m.- when we decided that we had enough. We were tired, crispy (we all got burned except for Rachel who we made sure we sprayed down 3 times throughout the day) and hungry.
We got to the hotel- We laid down and all of us had a laughing fit- I think mainly because we were exhausted. We slept really well that night from pure exhaustion!
Sunday was a long day of traveling- and once we got to Las Vegas we went to Bellagio to see the dancing waters.
Monday Lizzie and Rachel started packing for their return to Atlanta. We relaxed that evening since we were all pretty tired from the long weekend.
Tuesday- Lizzie and Rachel left. It was hard to let them go- but I totally understand their need to be home with their families.
Wednesday we said goodbye to Veronica.
Last night we came home to a quiet home- all alone again! For the first time in 3 weeks we went to bed early-
What a Great time we had with everyone! Missing everyone already.
I will post pictures of our adventures later tonight at home.
