(((((((((((Nora))))))))))) That sounds like a neat job! Have fun!!!

And......have you been reading my mind lately, or what?!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks for the mention of Elijah the other day. Last night I looked up that passage and I think it is soooo beautiful!!



nora gets her crystal ball out of the closet to see what diane is thinking now...


ROFLMBO...I understand I have had those moments and of late they are with my pastor... I try not to think of anything serious on Saturday night because I promise you if I do he WILL preach it on Sunday morning! It flat freaks me out at times!

WOW.... I went to see Todd Agnew last night and found something so refreshing! A man who is willing to stand up (or sit as the case was last night, he had a bum ankle) and tell it like it is... Someone who is willing to say stop the "churchy" and get up and be like HIM.. you know THE GUY who died for you! For those who have not listened to the words of My Jesus... take the time and also listen to the words of BLOOD ON MY HANDS! I am sitting here listening to it and it is blowing me away, OKAY JUST GO BUY THE CD... every song is awesome! I am aware that in spite of how much I have grown in the last 16 mths, of how far I have yet to go...

FATHER GOD... What is quenching YOUR Spirit in me... rip it out by it's roots... take me by the hand FATHER and show me how to really be like YOUR SON MY SAVIOR...JESUS!


Nora

I am sitting here listening to one of the Agnew cd's I bought at the show Friday....

New Name, Todd Agnew

chorus

"They called me broken, worthless, and a shame
They called me wasted, used up, and chained
But You made me Your child
And You called me Your own
Now they can call me
But they've got use my new name
"



Well I am just blown away!

I kinda wished I like veggies, then maybe I would grow more!! Right now it's jus the radishes, corn, carrots, onions and jalapenos. And I'll probably only eat the carrots!! I only have a few plants of each too, because I have limited space.

I sure wish I was able to grow veggies in my garden. I don't have a big space but what I do have gets too much shade.

We have about 5 un-shaded acres behind the house... our "yard" (about 2 arces) is shaded in a lot of area's but I got a very good sunny spot where I started my rose garden... between the Wild cherry tree and the Rose of Sharon bush near the road (A VERY BIG BUSH)....

Now behind the 5 un-shaded is also 5 acres that have trees and bushes and we are joined on the right by his sister's 10 or so acres that is also open to us... the other sister on the left of our property has her 10 acres fenced


Yep we are space rich... I love it in the country! ...

HI MIKE! I am sorry... I am slow about getting in here sometimes!


Thought I would post this about a fishing trip my darling and I took last week!




Bobby and I went fishing on Sardis Lake in Mississippi, Thursday and Friday…

Thursday… water was awesome, sun and warm breeze and good fishing! LOL I even got sunburn.

Friday… early morning and just a touch of wind… by the time week get to the end of the lake… and it is a BIG Lake… the wind is blowing so hard we can barely manage the boat… the water is white capping and we realize that we are in a touch of trouble… we head back to the dock which is a few miles away and against the wind and water… takes twice as long to get back as it did to get to the end of the lake… part of the way back my darling hubby stops the boat and says put on your life jacket… see I can’t swim and he is not the greatest swimmer so he also puts on his life jacket… we are fighting the wind the water and I am getting soaked and the water is cold and the wind is harsh and Bobby is worried…

In the beginning of the ride back to shore I whined about the water and the wind and the ruff ride from the waves… my darling kept saying he was sorry… he should of known better… I was tense at first… not scared more like put out that I was not going to be able to fish due to the weather… we tried and could not keep the boat still. Bobby was worried about getting me back to shore safely and I was worried about getting my way… then the cold water and wind got me to whining and moaning and grumbling and then it came to my mind that why didn’t GOD just calm the waters as HE did for the disciples that day on the sea…

REALLY I think these things…

of course I was thinking in terms of getting my way… I wanted to fish!!! Yet the water got worse the wind got worse and Bobby got more worried about getting me safely to dry land… Okay I figured out that HE was not going to give me calm waters to fish in so I guess my best hope was to make it back… cause at this point I was very wet and very cold and very tense from trying to fight the bounce of the boat in the waves… then I got to thinking about Peter.. trust what an awesome thing… he trusted Jesus enough to get out of the boat and walk on water… did I trust GOD enough to get me back to land??? Did I trust Bobby enough as my husband, spiritual cover and head of our home to get me safely to land??? The answer was YES to both… so then what was my problem… OH yeah that little thing called…

I WANT IT MY WAY!

When I realized that I was not worried about my safety and I was tense cause I wanted to have my way I realized that I was being a tad disrespectful to GOD and my husband… Both were in fact looking out for my safety and all I could do was whine cause it was not what I wanted when I wanted how I wanted… OOPS!

I looked closely at my husband and I realized that I was making a bad situation worse and that I was making him feel bad for something he had no control over and I was basically saying to GOD… hey your way is not right cause I am not getting my way…not a good thing to do!!!!

Anyway I made my mind up in that moment to just relax and try to survive the ride… I got to laughing at Bobby cause every once in a while the water would splash just right and get him square in the face and he was driving the boat so it made it tuff and the look on his face was so funny… then he got to laughing at me when it caught me just right… and I had a jacket that was sorta helping but not really as it was soaked! So here we are to drowned rats laughing at each other…are we any less wet, NO, are we any less clod, NO, are we both trusting all is well and will be so… YEP, so what is there to be tense or unhappy about???

Btw… get back to the dock after almost 2 hours… this 9/10 yr old boy is catching some of the biggest ****pie I have every seen right from shore… he was such a cutie … I ask to see his BIG fish… It was a whopper… LOL I thought well LORD I guess he needed those fish more than I , then I really look at his daddy and he, they where not dressed very well and in the few minutes I talked with them I realized that they were in fact probably fishing for their dinner… and I was complaining about a wet boat ride in our new (new to us but not cheap) boat…

... sheesh knock me in the head GOD and be done with it, I am such a selfish person!



Nora

Yes I was very amazed by the whole thing Mike...

This week has been real interesting also.....

I went to work Monday and then Tuesday I can't get out of bed because my knees hurt so bad and my right knee is very swollen... I work part time for Hallmark and I was doing what they call a season change out...Easter to Mothers Day... I was on my feet for 3 1/2 hrs solid and then after a 25 minute ride I was on my feet for 4 1/2 hrs solid... I was not happy on Tuesday morning when I could not get out of bed cause I still had 3 more stores too do!!! Anyway I had a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday for an unrelated problem and he says I have twisted and / or tore ligaments in my knee... YEAH and it is the knee that I injured 18 yrs ago!!! So now I am to take it easy for the next 2 / 4 weeks... so I call my boss, she is like "Oh well it is just cards, I am going out of town and I will just do them Monday! No problem... we will just plan on you being in the stores after May 8th!" I was so worried and worked up and she was like... "Nora it will be okay just get well"

So since I am home bound for the most part... (although I did go fishing with my honey today) I thought okay I will get to work on my distance education courses I am doing for my diploma in Biblical Counseling..... I said to my hubby I was going to really work steady on them for the next 2 weeks and he was like.... "Hmmm maybe that is why you are home bound... maybe you need to be putting first things first!

Why does he have to be so smart sometimes... OH yeah that’s right GOD knew I needed all the help HE could send me!


I mean really is April... humble Nora month or what!

HE is really awesome and funny sometimes and sometimes at the same time!


Nora

Hi Nora, it sounds like you have a really good boss! Now, take it easy on the knee, ok? Also, that is cool about taking courses on Biblical counseling as well.

Man yesterday was an awesome and hard day all in the same breath! It was our pastor’s last day and we will miss him terribly... but we know he has moved on to his new work that GOD has sent him too! I was so proud of the board and church.. the board anointed him and his family and sent them forth with love and support to his new church... we all prayed that GOD's work be fulfilled! As much as some of us wanted to say “GOD... keep him here“, we know in our hearts it is what GOD wants for his life and we had to let him go! OH but how hard it was.... I have never had a pastor or pastors wife who were so loving and so willing to guide and help in my walk! They were such a blessing to me personally and I will miss them so much! My membership has not transferred from AR yet and I hope it does soon... I want a say in the next pastor that fills our pulpit....

I have a great prayer burden on me just know... that we will have discernment and wisdom to see our Joshua when GOD sends him to us!! Pleas help me pray that we as a church don't miss him!


Okay lets see...


I am going to take my first unit test for my Biblical Counseling courses today

I am watching my garden grow and grow! And I am working on my flower beds also!

Bobby and I are starting the remodel on the bathroom this week!


and even with a broken heart...GOD has proven over and over how good HE is to me!

Have a great day!


Nora

Y'all I need a little prayer here:

1: This weekend my husband’s stepson tried to kill himself, the bullet did not enter the brain... he is in fair condition, they have started some reconstructive surgeries and his sister went to him yesterday....and that is all we know right now.

2. I had a very unsettling conversation last night with someone who I am acquainted with visa an old friend and the net... she has issues with inappropriate pictures on her im and behavior... I explained to her last night that while she has the right to choice her life and how her and her boyfriend (old friend of mine) live it... I do not want to be exposed to it as I no longer live that life nor do I want any part of it... she gave me a cussin via a message and I was floored and then I decided to block her from one of my im applications...pray for me and for them


3. Tonight I doing the devotion / teaching for the monthly women’s meeting!!!!!
SO really be praying for the women of the church


Anyway I am off to do the house work and to get ready for tonight... I got come up with a desert also... YEAH!


Nora

thank You Maggie....


Update:

1. Bobby's stepson is doing better... he is still in ICU and on a ventilator...however everyone there (in Oklahoma) says the doctors have done a great job with the first surgery and there will be more but he is doing better "physically".... mentally he is of course very depressed and when they are able they will move him to a facility to deal with his depression and suicidal thoughts... that will be down the road a bit though.


2. As for the old friend and his girlfriend... they also got online the other night with my darling girl and were ugly with her when she defended her “psycho” mom, translation... they are having a hard time dealing with the out spoken Christian I have become. I decided an open letter to them and copies sent to Bobby and my daughter was the best way to clear the air and present a united front to both of them... at this time we have cut our contact with them and although Bobby and I will continue to pray for their salvation... we will not subject ourselves to their strangely lewd and verbally abusive behavior. We have not heard a word in response and we are frankly quiet happy about that.


3. My devotion / teaching went well Wednesday and I spoke for about 25 minutes... GOD is so good to me and gave me just the right words to say as it hit home with several of the ladies...and I can assure you it wasn't my talent that did that! I was so blessed being able to stand in front of my fellow in sisters CHRIST and share a little of HIS word!


Anyway... we are going to a old fashion tent revival singing and meeting tonight and I got lots to do before we leave so have a great weekend and I will holler at y'all later! I will also be busy tomorrow being a greeter at the district ladies meeting… I am going to stop talking to our local WM Director…. LOL she gets me into all kinds of stuff!


Nora

(((((((((((Nora)))))))))) The girl here at work thinks I'm a bit "psycho", too. But if being a follower of Christ makes me a "psycho" then I'm proud of it.
