a frantic mother, wife and business owner trying to get out of the house to do all her errands before work!!!!! i take a new medication and it makes me throw up all the way to all my errands:( i hate to throw up so i cried all my makeup away and then on the way home my husband calls to tell me my client is waiting on me and i whine that i forgot about him and to please tell him i'm sorry:) and then to make matters worse as i am now late for my next client my car starts running out of gas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you sweet baby jesus i was by a gas station!!!! i pull in, get out with debit card in hand go to put it in and the screen says begin fueling! i am confused because i didn't put my card in so i begin to pump my gas and get worried:) i run into the store and tell the cashier i think i'm stealing gas!! she laughed at me and so i told her what happend and she smiled and said "well take it as a blessing!!" of course i cried cuz thats what i do:) i went back and only put $20 in and then i figured what a great "god wink" he just showed me and he made me slow it down and chill! so i went in and paid $20 for the next guys gas:) paying it forward sure does make your crappy day become brighter!! get on it yall!

hear the cry
today i am...
a mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend who hit a young woman that decided to take her life by running out in front of me while driving down a very dark road. my family and i were not hurt but i will forever have the image in my mind. the woman didn't have any ID on her but did have a journal with suicide notes written it it. the tragic incident redefined my dependence on my lord jesus christ for all understanding and peace. a peace that the young woman had very little of. i am sad she chose my truck and family to control her hopes to end her suffering but glad i can see what god needs me to do through this. don't waste today not knowing who you were created to be. i pray that you know christ and make him known as he changes your life and your world view. what is his purpose for us? to be obedient and to bring glory to his name through our service. as sad as this suicide is, i pray that someone may be lead to christ and bring hope and light back into the world.

prayer
today is a little different.
please take a moment and say a prayer for a sweet young man who is fighting for his life. he was hit by a drunk driver on saturday and is still with a breathing tube and has a long way to go in his recovery. i know the lord will be giving him strength every moment but pray for a miracle that he will let his recovery be easier then expected. also pray for his family as they spend so many sleepless hours with their dear son.
thank you!
