A P31 Woman

Proverbs 31

"She laughs without fear of the future"

Do you smile at the future? Do you smile at the days to come?
No matter the circumstances today, He will sustain us.
The Devil wants us to live stressed out. We can't be stressed and smile at the future. The enemy wants us to live with a frown. The Joy of the Lord is our strength.
We can smile when we are confindent in who holds our future. We are never ever alone. Live your life smiling at the future. I will not be discouraged about next week, because I know who holds next week.

Doesn't mean we won't experience hurt or sadness or loss, but we have to keep trusting Him and putting our hand in his. He will never fail us and we are never alone in Jesus Christ.

With Love,

Summer

Restless

Been a long week, now getting ready for bed and to start another...restless tonight and a song just came on - it's such an old one - but it spoke to me again - and was perfect for how I'm and the encouragement I need ---

Whisper the words of a prayer--And you'll find Him there
Arms open wide--Love in His eyes
Jesus--He meets you where you are
Jesus--He heals your secret scars
All the love you're longing for is
Jesus--The friend of a wounded heart

I titled this restless because that is how I am feeling. I read somewhere that in a time of restlessness to lean in close to God that he might be trying to get your attention. So my prayers tonight have been to Godspeak to me, show me your will, I am listening.

I've not been spending the time I need to each day alone with God. My busyness has gotten in the way. Pastor Steve just said last week - I beleive - If we are to busy for prayer - then we are too busy. God must be our priority. I will do better this week and moving forward. I am soooo behind on my Life Journal.

I have been so blessed with my current job and opportunities. I have absolutely fallen in love with seniors. I met the sweetest couple this week. They met in church as teenagers and in January will have been married 50 years and were still so in love. You could just see it. They touched me. They inspired me. Since starting in the home health field, I have met so many people that have truely touched my life and will remember them forever. It also makes me miss my Grandma Niter. I think that's why this couple touched me so much. The wife reminded me alot of her. Her love for Christ and sharing that love with others mostly.

ok...i have to get some sleep...gotta be ready for Monday and hit the pavement full steam!

With Love,

Summer

OK ---Seriously Been too Long

Ok - Seriously it has been too long between blogs. The bad thing is I haven't been journaling lately either...and Sooo much has been going on. Good things and Powerful things. God has been so awesome to me! He is so Worthy of all our Praise! I will share my journey the past couple of months in another blog...but I'm hurting right now.

I am just struggling with something tonight...this might be a lot of ranting...i am also on a ton of meds from a recent cold/sinus infection. So my problem started with facebook today - if you were to take a look at your profile page - would you say it kinda gives an honest snapshot of your week/month depending on your frequency? Mine does. Isn't that kinda the goal? I know sometimes its on the surface level. I don't know....Ok --- so here is the bottom line --- I'm putting this out there -- so Dad if you read this --please answer this--because I am so hurt and baffeled by this. You make a status regarding your father's passing a year ago. I get that. You make a comment on Ginny's Durr 7 year anniversary of Julie's passing - again I pray for them too. We ran in to them so often at the cemetary, the first couple of year's after Marc passed away, they also suffered such a terrible loss. But yet you never have even acknowledged Marc's death. You don't even list Marc as one of your children. My hands are shaking as I type this because it makes me so mad. Was he not your son? I have people that have never met Marc commenting on my notes. I've forgiven him and his family for their whatever. But I just don't get it? That is not typical of how a parent should respond. It is just bugging me tonight. I've prayed about it and given it to God. He'll have to answer to God about it. Marc will be there to. I'm glad that hurt is gone from Marc forever. He will never have to hurt again, but how stupid am I, that I can let facebook hurt me. i"m just frustrated. It does not make since to me. Do you even have a picture of Marc? You should post it. Or would you have to answer to people 1- that you have 3 other children and 2 - that one is in heaven. Both would probably shock your "friends" Brother James.

2009 A year in Review

Ok....2009 has come and gone so fast...with just a blink of the eye...here we are a week away from 2010!

Ok - my goal was to review the year and then write my goals for 2010...but I'm getting sleepy now...so till tomorrow! LOL! Nothing like a little procrastination! Seriously one of my new goals is to blog more! Journal more too! So watch out 2010!

With Love,

Summer

Welcome to Our World

My favorite Christmas song this year~~~by Amy Grant or Michael W Smith

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome To Our World
Welcome To Our World

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God

Welcome To Our World

Seriously -- Been a long time

Ok, I know it has been a while. So much has been going on the past couple of months...trials and challenges...growth and love. I need to get back to blogging! I will, I will!

With Love,

Summer

You make all things, work together for my good

Okay - It has been a while since my last post and I have so much I want to share. I usually blog late at night, it's my quiet time...but since we've moved I have had trouble setting up my wireless router and I have had my laptop set up in the living room. So I feel the need to blog but don't want to get out of my bed, my dogs especially don't want me to get up. I'm sitting in my chair now and have one dog on my lap and one on my shoulder. They are spoiled! I've been reading 2 books right now and still doing my Life journal and have just been filled with so much lately. We just finished a series, Pneumatology - A study on the Holy Spirit, at church and it just caused me to open my eyes, ears, heart to a deeper understanding and relationship with the Holy Spirit. I'm bouncing around I know - like I said alot has happened since my last post.

Tuesday was Marc's birthday - He would have been 24. It's 4 and half years since he's been gone. Still some days it seems like yesterday. We brought new flowers and balloons to his grave side, a HUGE balloon that said It's Your Day. Mom said he would love it because it's so big! His birthdays were always special to him.

I can't type much more tonight - I'm tired and have a busy busy week. Lot's going on with work and after work. Starting a new small group for 10 weeks on Thursday, a Crown Financial group. It's a group on the biblical foundations on how we should manage our money. I've already been convicted just from the pre-class work, so I have high expectations for the group!

Here is a song from Saturday night worship that just resonates with me~ Sometimes I think they pick the songs out just for me.

CHRIS QUILALA
YOUR LOVE NEVER FAILS

Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails

I know I still make mistakes, but
You have new mercy for me everyday
Your love never fails

Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don’t have to be afraid
Because I know that you love me
And your love never fails

Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water’s deep, but
I’m not alone here in these open seas
Cause your love never fails

The chasm was far too wide
I never thought I’d reach the other side
But your love never fails

Bridge: You make all things, work together for my good



Thank you Lord for your Unfailing Love!

With Love,

Summer
