When you are down to nothing,,,, God is up to something!!

Greetings!!

When you are down to nothing,,,, God is up to something!!  The God of the mountains, is still God in the valleys!!

The story of Ted Williams is all over the news these days.  It is a perfect example of God's love and grace.  Ted was down to nothing, deep down in the valley.  But he cried out to God and look what happened!!  God has shown us He is still in control.  He still listens to prayers and answers them.

Some people think it was a coincidence the reporter just happened by where Ted was standing that day with his sign, looking for a job.  I think not!!  As a Christian I know there is no such thing as coincidence.  God moves people to do things.  God moved Ted to stand in that location.  God moved that reporter to be there, to talk to Ted and then to show the clip.

When we are up on the mountains of good times it is easy to thank God for our blessings.  (Some still don't.)  But when we are down in the valleys of bad times, it seems easier to blame God for our troubles instead of thanking Him for what we do have and asking Him to help us.  But when we do reach out to God during those troubles He is ever faithful to get us back on the right path to climbing out of those valleys and back up to the top of the mountains.

God is good, all the time!!!

I pray the Lord blesses Ted Williams and moves him in a mighty way to always show who is in control of his life, the God of the mountains and valleys!  Thank you Jesus for all you have done and all you continue to do!!

Until next time,,,,,, blessings!!

Being old fashioned in a modern world,,,,

Greetings,

I like being old fashioned in a modern world.  The old ways were much better in my opinion.  I like taking care of my home more than having a career.  I like making bread from scratch.  I like gardening, canning, freezing and putting up food.  I even like finding new ways to stretch the dollar,,,, especially in this economy.

I don't see anything wrong in being a "stay at home, homemaker".  Nope, I didn't burn my bra with the other feminists.  I don't want a man's job.  I want a man to be the type of man God created him to be.  And I want to be the woman God created me to be.

I like who I am and make no apologies for it.

I am a very loving, caring and giving person.  I am selfless, even when it winds up hurting me to do so.  I do not like this selfish, self-centered world which we live in now.  The me first attitude of most people makes me sick to my stomach.  So many people will miss the boat come judgement day.  This is not the world God created it to be.  How it must break His heart to see so many people behave in such a manner!

I will seek first the old paths and whatsoever things are good and true in His eyes for He comes first and foremost in my life!!

Until next time,,,,,, blessings!
