SHMEh'

Sometimes.. I get so irritated with things & how days can go by and I feel as though I did nothing to make it what it should have been or could have been! I wast so much time on things that don't matter and don't put enough into the things that do. Selfishness settles in and I don't even notice until too late. ..lately I feel like I don't do much that matters...or things I want! Why!?? I ask myself the same thing. I feel like I don't have any direction or guide to what I need to do cuz I don't know what I want to do!

...I pray but feel like I hear nothing and then I get discouraged and don't do anything..LAZY! I know that's what you're thinking..but I just need a LIFT an encouraging word! Something to get me going and excited...

If u read my poor post ..lol...be praying the Lord will show new things to me and open my eyes to a path I should be taking.

so last night..

... I was looking at some flowers on our coffee table in the living room..I started smelling a Rose "The Lincoln Rose" when the peddles started to fall away from the bud...And so I started to play with them and really actually looking at the peddles. The soft texture, Fragrant smell, shape and the distinct color were all so carefully made. God, put so much thought into the Lincoln Rose...

I started to realize how loved & adored we are by God. I mean Roses are loved by everyone & are given as gifts with affection and are displayed all the time in yards for beauty. You see them in stores & on desks!

BUT! We, You and me were made in the image of God! Not a flower that we think are so beautiful BUT IN THE IMAGE OF GOD!!! That's so big to think about. He adores us so much! When you think about how different we are; eyes, shape of lips, hair, body types, skin colors...I mean Really think about it. He made us with so much love and heart that we are all so different from one another! When I grasp my head around that I feel overwhelmed with love and joy!

To know I'm loved and adored is so precious. I pray you all see how special and beautiful you are! Cuz, our creator made you with purpose and all his love in mind.

$ Store

So, last night I wanted to go get coloring books and color..REAl bad! lol... Justin and I were heading out when I felt like I needed to bring Wilson in from the back yard...it was dark out and Im always thinking someones out to get him! lol..so I go grab him and bring to the back door down stairs. My mom comes to the door and and I told her where we were going, and she then suggested we go to the $ Store. So, Justin and I went there instead...we get inside and we go down the Halloween isle and he puts on this amazingly hideous Dino Hat! So, I get out my phone to take a pic and my phone kept taking black pictures..I tried again and as Im trying to figure all of this out this guy walks by us laughing...As I finally get a picture taken the guy walks up and says "So, you two must be who I'm looking for"! We go, what? And I'm thinking in my head ooooo Great we're in trouble for taking pictures in the $ Store! Then he says we'll, Im suppost to be looking for people who are trying on customs together and that appears to be what you two are doing". Justin and I go "yah I guess so". So, he goes "Can I pray for you two"? We, were both super excited and were like "Yes, WE would love that, we were just talking bout needing prayer in allot of ways". So, I start to explain to him about my friend Rachael who lost her mom. Then I starting to tell him how Justin was just saying how he really wanted clearity on being in Fallstar and some of the guys in the bad...Then a kid out of no where goes "HEY, I know you..your from that band" and as Justin started telling him about the band a couple other kids walk up and said the same thing. They were telling Justin what a great band they were and how impressed they were by what they were doing. :)

I mean come on! Talk about confirmation!!

P.S.----(All these people were a group who come together each Tuesday to pray and as they pray they yell out discriptions of who they need to find and pray for that nite..they make a list and go out to find these discriptions and pray!)

So, then...Justin asks prayer for us, and our relationship. And how we really want to get engaged and married but we dont know what steps to take or what we need to do to get started. Then one of the older guys started telling us how he just got married and how awesome it was. So, by this time we had 8 people around us and they layed hands on us and started to pray!

The spirit was soo heavy I started to cry and couldnt stop! The words they spoke over us were so powerful and meaningful. The boys praying for us were so young but had so much wisdom and the woman had such athority in her voice.

After they were done praying for us we thanked them and hugged them all and the man who had just gotten married gave us $10 to start our wedding fund! BUT the crazy thing about the $10 was that, Justin this week goes I think I'm going to start putting $10 aside each paycheck to start out and then I'll add more as I can for our wedding! And that $10 he wanted to put aside had to go towards a bill this month so he wasnt able to..------>It was such confirmation in us starting to save and also it was his way of showing us he was already providing for us and not to be afraid!

GOD IS GOD AND GOD ALON! SO, LETS PRAISE HIM AND GLORIFY HIS HOLY NAME!

Please, be praying for my cousin Kendra. She just found out she had a miscarriage and lost her baby a couple of weeks ago. She has a rare disease that where her placenta was still growing even after there was no baby inside. On top of it all they also found a cyst on her ovaries that can be cancerous, this was caused by her birth control. Please, pray for complete healing of the cyst and healing over the loss of a child.

Also, please be praying for my friend Rachel. Her mother died on last Sunday unexpectedly while hiking with their family up at multnomah Falls. After doing an autopsy today, they found she died from a heart disease that runs in their family. Something grew around her heart & shut it down. Her passing was painless. Prayer for peace and comfort in this hard time.

At work a family we have insureds son and friend were fishing up on a rail road track over looking a river, when the son's friend was hit by the train. The train runs about 85 mph and they didn't see it coming when they were walking to their car on the other side of the tracks. The boy we have insureds name is Dustin. Please, be praying for him and the boy's family. Dustin is having a hard time couping with his friends death.
