Jun. 21, 2006 - OH MY!
Oh my what a day. I know everybody has one of "those" days. Well mine is today. I woke up late, fell down the stairs (lovely red strawberry on my tush),spilled my coffee, and forgot my friends daughter's bday party. I guess my mind is in so many other places I forget how to walk around my house. Yesterday I found out that a dear friend of mine that got out of prison last June is back into drugs and has committed a horrible crime. He is someone I grew up with and got into drugs then got arrested and put in prison. He changed his life and was paroled last June after 12 years in prison. I was so proud of his life change and supported his release. Shame on me. I am so angry with him and I am so sad for his precious family. I also found out my 81 year old papa is have a pace maker surgery tomorrow and he is not a Christian. I know his salvation is totally in the Lord's hands but I am so sad with the condition of his spiritual heart. My heart is heavy and I just need to focus on my family and being a good wife and mom. Just needed to express myself today. Melanie

Melanie ~ It was nice reading your blog this afternoon. I am sorry about your Grandpa. Pray for him! Does he live near to you? Are you able to share with him?
Sorry about your tush, too -- bummer!
Is your daughter's party TODAY? Is it HER party or a friend's party?
Hope your day settles down a bit. Try to sit on your... now red.... tush for a bit and spend time in the Word! That always brings me back to where I need to be!
In Him, Beckie

Thanks, my papa lives fairly close to me and I have shared Jesus with him. He says he is a Christian but has never lived it. He has always been kind to me but not other family members. My mom has also shared with him but he responds the same to her as me. It was not my daughter's bday but it was a good friend's daughter. She understood because she is truly a wonderful friend. My son is down for a nap and my daughter is building a sheet tent so I have a minute to get refocused. I will take time for God's word.

I know how you feel about your friend. My brother has put me through similar hopes and disappointments. It makes me want to harden my heart to people, but we must remember it is not the person we are so angry towards, but the hold sin and Satan have on that person. I will be praying for your friend. Please pray for my brother. He is in a good place for the moment. But is so easy to fall.
