I want to be at home

Something happened Sunday. Just sitting in a peaceful church, worshipping Jesus has nourished me more than I imagined. For the first time in a very long time, I can't get enough of Jesus!!! I think my dry bones may be coming back to life!!!!  I want to be at home, I want to be sitting at Jesus' feet!

This song express my heart.
The more I seek you (Kari Jobe)

The more I seek you,
The more I find you
The more I find you, the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

Back in the saddle

Got real sick last week. Not sure what it was but the loss of 6 lbs in one day was OK. Praisin Jesus I have not gained them back. Time to take a look at eating healthier.

I finished going through every room, closet, drawer, cabinet, etc in the house. A friend of mine needs money and is planning a garage sale. What a great motivator for me to get rid of clutter. I got rid of chairs and other pieces of furniture not in use not to mention sewing stuff, picture frames, office supplies, purses, etc. I think the saying is true that our clutter controls us.

Mom even went through and cleaned out some of her stuff. YEAH!!!

Still have way more books than needed but I have now scaled back to buying no more than 5 books a month. The one exception is the books I buy for the mentally challenged couple in the nursing home. I buy the books they like and send them a box every other month.

With cooler temps hopefully coming soon, I want to finish sanding and staining the chairs I got for the dining room. A friend is going to cut the wood seats for me. Covering those will will easy. Once I get those done and out of the storage room, I will have space to work on other projects, like a nightstand.

I want to rearrange the office part of my bedroom so I can enjoy my room more and not feel so closed in when I am at the computer.

I went to church with Rhonda. It was so good to go to church where there was just praisin Jesus and learning more about Him. Our church has been in such turmoil but with me leading Character Makeover, I chose not to leave as so many have. So sad to see power issues tear God's church apart.
I am still praying about whether to stay or go. This is the second departure of indiviuals in less than a year.

Guess I best get back to work. Gene is in all week so will have plenty to do.

I do appreciate all of y'alls prayers.

Calmer now

I do believe I got carried away on that last post. Call it emotional overload. Coming off that trial and then someone is hurting my child. Yes, he is in his 30,s but Waylon is my one and only and someone is messing with him. I greatly dislike the emotional roller coasters fueled by someone's conning manipulations. Too much drama, too many people getting hurt.

I am no longer allowed to be with Roo

A couple of weeks ago, mom and I were going to surprise Waylon by taking him to Austin to buy him some new work shoes. Mom and I talked about it, that she would take him on Wednesday morning, which would allow Kristina to sleep after getting off work.

Because we did not her permission, she said Waylon and Roo could not go. Because we do not respect her, she says I can no longer take care of Roo.

Too much drama. I hope she dies.

Jury Duty is over...

the visions are not. Let me tell you, jury duty is not fun,especially when it involves children. Need some sleep but wake up to visions from the trial running through my head.

Jury Duty

I am on Jury Duty this week. It is so hot in there, you would think I would have sweated off a few pounds. Last night we did not get out of there until after 7PM. I got home about 10PM after going to work, tending to what I could and then doing Davey's payroll.

Something happened at our church that is very hurtful. It reminds me of why I left the last church. I feel I must find another place to worship. I normally would not leave just yet as I have not finished facilitating the Character Makeover study but believe I can no longer go through those church doors.

My friend Rhonda has found a church she loves so think I will give it a try on Sunday. Even mom says she will not be going back.

Why can't we just love Jesus and do what he directs? Why must man muck things up with their rules? JUST GIVE ME JESUS!!!!
