Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow


I have just successfully added printer to my laptop, added scanner, and 2nd monitor.  Feeling overwhelmed and afraid it's all gonna come crashing down!  I'm actually typing this on laptop while looking at 2nd monitor.  I am hoping to get real productive with blogging and genealogy. BTW  this is 20th day without so much as a puff of those nasty cigs.  Hooray!  Thank you LORD JESUS.

This was written awhile ago.  I haven't smoked in 2 months!!!!  Thank you Lord.  And still doing OK with my digitizing!!!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it's 2014 and just reading my last post of 2013 and writing about  " at least having posted".  I wrote as though I had been able to check off a box of my long, long list of things to do.  Not a coincidence that my mom just called;  there's a whole list of it's own relating to my mom and things I'd like to do for/with her.

All of the things on Nov 13th's post are still on my list.  

Now I will tell you my deepest secret.  Every time I think about "what I'm going to do with the rest of my life" I come up with a internal battle.  Do I want to make money or serve the Lord?  I know that sounds like such a stupid question.  For the non-believer it's a no brainer- Make money of course.  For the believer, which I'd prefer to call myself, it's also a no-brainer- Serve the Lord.  He says; serve me, and I'll take care of the rest!  I do believe that and so keep trying to fly on my own strength (a big no-no, and satan's work) and just get stymied.

Patience is another big word with our Lord.  Look how long Moses waited!  I do pray for the Lord's will for my life while keeping a little of my own in my back pockets.  The same was true with vices and still is with smoking.  

Ok Lord;  I'm praying for wisdom, humility, grace and your will for me!
