Good Morning Ladies, I am so very sorry for my absence the past couple of days. We (family & I) have all been sick with the Flu and it has not been pretty. I am feeling much better now and hope it will pass the children quickly.
I am also dealing with some feminine / health issues and praying for a complete healing for my body from all sickness and disease! The following scripture spoke out to me today for more reasons then one...
Exodus 15: 26And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Submission
Submission is a willingness to yield or surrender. Today Im talking about submission to a Higher Power the God who made us. He doesnt demand that you submit; He gave you a free will. Do you every wonder what would have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had submitted to Gods instruction? He chose to disobey God. When I read the first three chapters of Genesis, I realize that it was Gods plan to have a close relationship with His children. Through Christ Jesus we have access to God and His original plan for man if we yield to His instruction, if we humble ourselves before Him. Jesus said, If you abide in Me and My Word abides in you, ask whatever you will and it shall be done for you.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I humble myself before You, Your will not mine be done. I will mediate on your Word day and night. By the grace of God I will be an obedient doer of your Word, so my pathway will be prosperous and successful. I renew my mind to your Word, and pray that your Word will dominate my thoughts, words and actions. I submit to Truth so that I will not be seduced or deceived by the works of the devil. I am strong in you, Lord, and in the power of your might. Today, I choose Life and the Blessings of Deuteromony 28. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
I pray that each of you has a very blessed week; may you hear Him and feel HIS presence in all that you do!

Thank you for that beautiful post...and I pray for your complete healing.
I have found that whenever I allow myself to TRULY submit and surrender ALL to the Lord the blessings and graces that come are MANY!
Would that I could ALWAYS direct my free will to be COMPLETELY surrendered to His Own...thankfully, His Mercy endures for the times when I have failed.
I LOVE the image of Our Lady and Jesus that you have under Keepers at Home...THANKS for sharing that with us
I read the same verse. I guess the only thing we can do is to pray in faith and follow God's will for our life.
Sickness is something I don't enjoy, but it happens to all of us at some time :0(
I am praying for you!! If there is anything I can do, PLEASE let me know. I'm glad y'all are feeling better and are up and at em again. Looking forward to seeing you and the boys Monday!!
Keeping you in prayer,
Jenn

Tiany, you know what. I miss the old days of blogging. I know things change and things move on but I still miss them. I miss you. ((HUGS))
I am needing a chat so I hope to give a ring ring this week. Love you my SSiC.
Your friend,
Ohh PS: We are going to court on Tuesday for the water system. Please pray for us and to have it solved. But it could be one last delay. I am praying not but will to trust in God's timing.

I just noticed that you are not feeling well. Please let me know if I should not call. But if it will be a blessing to you let me know. You are in my prayers.
