Ramblings of Wife, Mother & Romantic

Archive for March, 2009

I am so sorry to all of those faithful readers, that i have been a
Complete blog looser of late...it seems that whenever i want to sit
and write i have no earthly idea of anything to write about,
Or when i want to post a photo, either

A.Rudy has my camera
B.Rudy took the cord to my camera
C.the cord Rudy gave me back was broke

Really i am NOT blaming Rudy, really i am NOT

But Today i DO have something to write about...
How good of a God HE truly is...when things go on in our life
and there are things WE want, that are not In God's plan, that we
make sure we do what God wants and Not what we want.

Last month Rudy and i flew to Colorado to a church where Rudy did
a Praise and Worship Conference, and we really believed that God
might be calling us to move there..YES a VERY cool idea.
When we got back home, things still seemed to be moving forward,
we were being supported by our Pastors, but then all of a sudden
Rudy felt that it wasn't what God wanted for our Family.
I was extremely disappointed, but i trust my husband and All the
decisions that he makes for our family. Here is just ONE reason
why moving was not what God wanted. We dont even realize how
many people are impacted through us. He has a plan for our Lives
that we dont even understand sometimes.

God has put a desire in our hearts, the vision for souls saved
in our community, lives touched by OUR church.
It seems that every where i look, when i see people
i wonder 'Do they KNOW God' are 'They going to
heaven when they die'?
How sad it makes when i see families in dysfunction and messed up
THEY need God no way around it, we can do nothing
without HIM as the center of our life.

How will God use ME, what can i do?

Let me tell you how HE has started....
When Adia started Kindergarten back in August...i met one of
the mom's there (Michell) her son R. was in Adia's class.
(Yes i am talking about you Michell...haha..get used to it)
I really dont know how we started talking or how we started
hanging out, but we did, and now she can't get rid of me.
Its one of those connections that is God ordained, meant to be,
bosom buddies, best friends...the list could go on..(im really
hoping now that i put myself out on a limb that she feels the
same about me 
From the beginning i wanted her to come to church, but pressuring
people into church never is a good thing.
Out of the blue one day she told me 'I'm coming to church with you'
and let me put in here that its not the 'GOING' to church
that's the important thing, its having a life changed, seeing
things in ways you have never seen them before, marriages being
restored, finding Jesus, being saved, and then making HIM
know to others.
I now have another connection with Michell...she is my sister in
Christ..she gave her life to the Lord a few weeks ago.
This in itself makes me want to jump up and down
Her husband i KNOW will come to church...his life will be
changed, He will be molded into a mighty man and he will become
the husband michell needs.
Michells Brother came to town for a visit and she brought him with
her this morning...(a very nice man) During the alter call...(i
Peeked of course...both Rudy and i had the feeling he would
accept Christ today...and He DID!!!!

See the pattern here.....Me thinking i had no impact on others,
met someone out of the blue, this person is saved, then that person
brings someone, their saved...the chain reaction is astounding
I see in my hearts eye Michell's WHOLE family being saved,changed,
reknewed, and Christ followers, impacting People for the Kingdom
of God.
How Good our God is...There are so many things he has done for us,
things that we thank him for once, then forget about, but it's
those things that we need to keep in front of us, no matter how
small, the things He has saved us from, helped us through, taught
us through his word and other people.
These are the things that keeps our passion alive in us, keeps us
hungry after Him.
Never let those things go aways from our eyes.

He's doing a new thing
we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in manger anymore,
He's not a broken man on the cross
He didnt stay in the grave
He's not staying in heaven forever.

I urge everyone this week, pray...seek God to bring someone
in your path that you can share the love of God with.

Only two things matter in life...
Knowing HIm, and making Him known.

So i uploaded a bunch of amazing photos onto flickr today and i saw a link they have that you can throw them onto your blog….

BUT it tells me that my password is not valid and it wont link it….this makes me so mad, WHy oh why will it not work for me???

I have a bunch of photos i have taken over the past few months that i have been lazy about posting that i wanted to put up, but once again me and my non technological mind cannot remember how i can re-size folders of photos instead of one at a time.

so until i learn or become not lazy….here’s the link to my flickr account.

ok now it wont let make a clickable link, come on man what the crap….i need to get someone to show me how to get all this to work. i wonder if i know anyone who can help me?????hhmmm i wonder.

One more thing that makes my day end on a good note….like the whole driving to DQ to get me a butterfinger blizzard and them being closed was not enough.

So sorry for the absentness  ( if that is even a word) i have not felt up to par of late, and have no clue of anything worth writing. So why bore you with lifeless writing and stupid thoughts, i will wait till i am inspired and full.

So until then my chickadees
