Ok, I know I have posted 2 other times already but had to share this. In Sunday School yesterday our assignment was to ask people we do not know the following question: "What has God done for you this week?" I have gotten some strange looks!!
So, I asking you although I know most all of you. WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR YOU LATELY??
Don't disappoint me. If you do not want to leave a comment then e-mail it to me at UofKWldCatFan@aol.com.

I was broken-hearted when my son chose not to attend a prayer service with me Saturday night. I let it affect me all night long, keeping me awake until 4am or so. I kept going over and over again what I could have said to change his mind, making him WANT to attend. Sunday afternoon, as I was discussing this (and other Jeff-related concerns), my mom reminded me that there comes a time when all you can do is pray. She assured me that I had planted seeds, that Jeff is nearly an adult, that he's intelligent and healthy and able to do the right thing when called upon to do so. So my role now was to pray that his Father take over and handle it from here.
My mom just has this way of quieting my heart and making me listen. When she told me that I should simply be praying for this (for Jeff AND for me) and discussing it all with God, I'm like, 'Of course!' Let go and let God! How many times have I heard that? Why is it so hard to remember to just DO IT?!
So, instead of being broken-hearted Saturday night, I should have spent some time in prayer for me and Jeff, knowing not only that God CAN fix these things, but also that He WILL. Of course, there's no going BACK in time.
So, I spent some time last night praying for Jeff and his future and his faith. And I prayed for me and asked God to remind me regularly using people like my mom to trust in Him.
I slept MUCH better last night.
Tonight, I'm praying about WORK! : )
Well, God has given me an amazing gift lately and that is freedom!! After all, what can we do about circumstances? Just give it to God! It does sound easy but so hard to do. That doesn't mean that we won't want certain things for our children but we rest in the fact that He is in control and after we have done all we can do in raising them He does the rest!!
I know what He means by "my yoke is easy and my burden is light"
!! He gives us rest if we will just reach out and take it. AMAZING!!
He is allowing that girl
who so often
never gets anything just right,
does what she does not want to do,
doesn't do what she ought,
doesn't obey like she could,
and doesn't love like she should...
to serve Him anyway.
Thank you, Jesus, for the redemption that puts the worst player back in the game over and over again. And when I miss a shot, it's okay because You know the final score anyway.
Hallelujah.
What has GOD done for me lately?.........everything! I have a wonderful family; a good job; food and clothing; ELECTRICITY (HA!)(nothing to joke about right now!); I have GOD's love and guidance........what more could a person have.
