An Email I got today

I got this email today and thought it was really good. I had a rough day to several different things that I just would rather not discuss and God is definitely showing Himself to me since I've gotten home and that everything is going to be just fine!

God's order may be observed in the hatching of eggs.

For example:

-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!)

God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant.. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God ordered that this animal would have a huge body, and for this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of fruit, vegetable, and grain seed sections and segments, as well as in the number of seeds/grains.
-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even
numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

God gives us a surprise when we cut an apple in half horizontally--there you will find a star!

Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence. Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the life
given over to the care of the Lord is fulfilled.

The lives of each of us are ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if we will only entrust Him with our lives. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide us to a profitable end.

Sunday Thoughts

This weekend has been pretty good. Except for the fact that I had to have the radiator replaced on my Explorer, I named it Eddie not long after I got it four years ago. This car is like my baby, I have taken very good care of it and it's everything I wanted when I picked it out. Eddie has seen his share of body shops in the last 3 years, from 2 hail storms and then I was rear ended in Sept 09, since then he has been running just fine, until about a month ago it started sound funny and not wanting to shift gears right. The dealership told me just 2 weeks ago that it was just something with the transmission needing to be reprogrammed so they did that, and the problem wasn't better, but was told that it could take up to 500 miles to start working... Well Thursday when I left work and drove around UNCC's campus my car started over heating, so I went straight to the Ford place, and Friday morning they called with the diagnosis and it was the radiator, dad told them to fix it. Sat morning we went to pick it up and it was almost $300 less than what we were told. I was thankful for that. After that I came home cooked some breakfast and then spent the rest of the afternoon @ the pool with my sister n law. Good times just hanging out and relaxing.

Today, Sunday was great!! Like I said in my last post, God has been working on my heart in several areas. This mornings church service just reassured me that God is in control and it will be ok. The songs we sang reminded me of being at camp about 10 years ago. We sang "Open the Eyes of my Heart", and then one of my all time favorite songs "All in All" This is probably my favorite verse :"Taking my sin, my cross, my shame, rising again I bless your name, You are my All in All. When I am weak You lift me up, when I am dry, You fill my cup, You are my all in all. Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your Name."
Then "Be Thou my Vision" was sung, what another great song. During the 2nd service while standing in the choir, we sang "Open the Eyes of my Heart" I looked out and saw a girl who I use to babysit just smiling and I remember her singing that song with me when she was 3 years old, and I know even @ 3 she was praising the Lord, such an awesome inspiring moment.!!

Now off to bed.. more to come this week..

I think my blog spirit is coming back

I know it has been forever since I've done anything with my blog. I feel that I might be getting back into doing it again. I enjoyed blogging when I took the time. I think I should take the time to blog again amongst other things. I only wish I knew if people read it or not. Oh well, it is a place I can release "My Random Thoughts".

I've been really busy since my last post. Relay For Life was great and I stayed busy planning for that and I had a wonderful time! I am the co-chair again this year, and I can't wait, it is going to be an awesome year!!!

I am still selling thirty-one as a part time job, I am really wanting to pick up doing more shows this fall, and pick up my business. If you know anyone who would like to host a party, please let me know!

Work has been good, I am learning a lot of new things.

Hmm... I am ready for some changes in my life I'm gonna let God do the changing though, He's been pulling at me and I've been resisting, but I am ready to let Him work in me.. In my head they seem like nothing big, but really they are big things.... I just want to live every moment of every day for Him and Him alone, not for me. I saw this today and loved it, I am going to lean on this as I let God. "No matter what, I'm gonna trust in YOU!!"
That is what I am going to hold onto.
