Welcome

Welcome to my blog. More nights than not I am up well past the midnight hour. Burning the midnight oil, some might say. I believe it is because I enjoy the "me time". The hubby and the grandson are in bed, the phone is not ringing, I don't have to stop what I am doing to take care of something or someone else. I can watch what I want on TV or not at all if I want. I can turn the volume down or mute it if I want! It's all about me.....and usually God.

It's usually me and Facebook, until all my friends say goodnight and sign off, then it's me and God. We have these talks and He usually shows me something profound.Usually I am amazed at why I never "got it" before. At that very second, I have an "aha" moment, then find somewhere to record it, whether it be on a blog (I've started a few) or journal, (started even more of those), write it in my bible, which has many profound "ahas", or just write it on a piece of paper,that gets put aside and then years later is found to be read again...at just the right moment! An "aha" moment. It all comes full circle. Just like life.

Did you ever notice how people come into your lives at just the right time? Then you go years without seeing or talking to them, then poof, one day you run into them again and you pick up just where you left off. That's how God is. Even though we are not always faithful and loyal to him, He never leaves us. We may not always be thinking of Him or even include Him into our day, but He is always there for us when we call on Him.

Sometimes....

Sometimes you just gotta call a spade a spade. When someone is being a jerk for no apparrant reason, filled with unwarranted venom, hating on innocent people, you just gotta call them on it! You can still love them, but you have to put them in their place. Someone has to stop them, and it might as well be the one who loves them most. Jealousy is a green eyed monster, has no place in my life, and I won't tollerate it, especially when it involves one of my children. I love each one of my children equally and differently, I love my husband with all my heart, and my grandchildren uniquely, but I won't ever be able to pour up my love in a measuring cup or put it on a scale to make sure it is exactly the same for everyone. I treat each one with a special unique love and that's how it will be. I don't want to be under a magnifying glass about who I did this for and who I did that for. I do for each as what their need is and how I can help them. And while I am quick to tell one that they are being a jerk, I still love them! I believe God might just do this to us. There are times when he quickens us to look at ourselves and see how we acted out or spoke out of place, only to have us see where we were wrong, and if we are sensitive to His correction, we will ask forgiveness. Even though we behave badly, God still loves us! He wants us to take correction.
