Tonight I go to look at a house. It is strange to think of moving and though the day has been approaching for a while and I knew it was coming.......thinking about tonight is making me sad....
Last night I told the girls I was moving.......today I still hear the sadness in their voices as they questioned the why and whens.
I know it is for the best and I also know that what seems so very hard right now well be shown in history as a turning point.
I guess my dailyjoy today is that as I prepare for this step for which I feel so emotionally unprepared God has revealed to me a side of myself I did not realized he had formed.
I have learned to have a voice and how to use it.
Thank you Lord........Thank you for teaching me how to stand............I trust you Lord with the future and I know that in all things you are.

I have been sitting here trying to decide what to write in dailyjoy....which people and experiences has God allowed which have punctured my soul and allowed His joy to flow out of me........there have been so many this past year........so many things, places, people and experienced which seemed like a knife stabbing in such a way to break through the skin but in those stab wounds such joy has flowed..........I am so thankful for every single thing which has happened this past year..........every single things.........and that is hard to say.......until today I don't know if I could have said it in all truthfulness but today I can...........I am so thankful for every cut and wound.......for it has been the dying of my flesh which as provided a way for more of His spirit to flow from the inside to the outside.

Wow. This made me stop and think.
I admit that although I am strong emotionally, I still find myself running.
Running from what?
From hurtful people. From people who attack out of their own hurt heart. From people who lash out in their own anger, bitterness, unhappiness, hatred. Does it make them feel better to attack others?
I've been so very hurt over the years. I cannot bring myself to be near another who chooses to act that way.
As I contemplate my options, this tends to be what I choose. I pray for these hurting hearts. Can I tell them I am praying for them? I have done so in the past, and had them attack me for doing so. Yes, by my own brethren. Attacking me for saying I'm praying for them. It is very hurtful ... and yet, I recall what my pastor says: they are not attacking YOU Sam, they are attacking JESUS. I don't want people to attack my Jesus, so I stay in the background and pray.
The Lord has given us the gift of intercessory prayer ... and that is a DailyJoy. Amid the hurt, I can still have that to smile about.

It is pretty bad when you are not home enough to know when you have visitors and it takes stopping by another persons online home to know you need to stop by your online home.........
Sam one of the things my daddy use to always say applied to what you were talking about I think...........when I would get frustrated when someone was mean or disrespectful to me........I would complain to my father...........he would sit in his chair, stroking his beard, listening until I was done ranting and raving......then say.....do you have it all out now?........and I knew what he meant cause he had explained it to me many times.........When someone is mean, disrespectful or rude it has nothing to do with your actions on the outside and everything to do with theirs on the inside.........your actions have just provided a spout from which their inside can pour out........it is your choice whether you let it pour on the ground or into your cup.........and when your cup is overflowing with God's water.......then the choice isn't even yours........there is no room for it anywhere but on the floor.

You know what Sam........I am so glad God found us...and that he loves us so much he is not willing to let us stay as we are today...........I think the saddest of all people are those who have yet to realize how much they need to change............I am so thankful daily God reveals little things, actions, thoughts, attitudes, which need to be changed so that I reflect more and more of his actions, thoughts, and attitudes........
I am so excited for tonight..........I love being with my prayer group ladies..........God always moves so powerfully.

Thank you.
That's one thing about having a child ... germs get passed around all over the place. Kids pick them up from other kids and bring them home. Then my sister works right next to a hospital and works with the public, and she ends up being a carrier too. The munchkin goes over to her house after school, so we seem to get a double whammy. I'm thankful for vitamins and flu shots!!
How's your day going?

Guess what........I took the girls the the marching district sat........they loved it.

RE: Dailyjoy - 
I think he has the same stomach thingy I had last week. It came on in a heartbeat. But, while he is home, I am getting some extra time to play on the computer and do some other stuff that needs taking care of.
