This Grandma's Diary

New name New blog God experiences.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:38:00 +0000

Dear diary today I need to write about a decision I am making. I haven't written to my blog in awhile now. I think it's time to start a new blog. I think the title of my blog is not reaching people as I had hoped. I will continue to write to this blog from time to time. I think there is information I could write about on this blog that I will not write about in my new blog. For those who do read my blog I want you to know the name of my new blog: God Experiences. I have found I do have much to share in my experiences and I continue to learn new insights from God . I have been given the blessing of feeling Jesus by my side. He encourages me to learn . I feel his tender ,nurturing love. I have thanked him many times for his gentle guidance . I am grateful that I have been taught to turn to Jesus. He leads me to prayer where I am renewed in how it all works. Prayer , understanding that I didn't have before I entered into my praying. Jesus calls me to him , to prayer , when things are troubling me , when I don't understand why something happened. I know everything happens for a reason. I have been shown this many times. And it is true ,take in everything that comes your way , and then pray and you will find so much can be learned from something small. It may even begin with something hurtful to you. But it is to remind you that you need to go back and practice what you have been taught ,but have not been doing, and that there is still continuous learning . If you have feedback for me , my email add. is in my profile.

A Peace Heaven.

Good morning to all. My dairy entry today is something I have write about . I say this because it is in the morning that I have the passion to share what I have experienced during my quiet time with God, and with Jesus. I am, so much of the time , told to read certain pages , I am given a number . This morning like many others , I am thinking about something specifically. I have been thinking about the life I have been given . A life that feels like a piece of heaven. I awake in the morning with the thought of being grateful for another day , And "I mean ", until I was given this life , through The grace of God, I had never experienced anything like this life . That is why I feel it is so important to to write about this transformation. I have begun to feel some fear of this life being taken from me , because I have been spending so much time trying to find away to make extra money . I forget to stop and listen to God , even though That is what I want to do . I realise , God does come first in my life. I long for him to let me feel his love. You can't know , or understand the true meaning of that statement, unless through God's grace , he has transformed you , and in the relationship with God , everything , has new meaning . You just can't explain it . I am being reminded, this morning , the thought of having this life , that is , like I said , a piece of heaven , or having a life of being rich . My thought was" There is nothing to compare , this life , is so astounding , no way I would ever change . " I am without many material things in my life , but yet I feel grateful , no more empty place within me , peace. Each day is a new day ,truly . I get in the way of God's will in my life , I eventually realise this. I know It was the grace of God that I have this life, that is to me, experiencing some of heaven. This morning I am told to read , 38 , in my book of ; 100 Favorite Bible verses . This was Ephesians 5:31-32 NCV . The meaning of marriage . I went on to 39 , and there was my answer , my message from God. Psalm 139: 7-10 . "The truth is wonderful news for those who long for God. " God is always right by your side. His Spirit transcends the limitations of physical space . This means that you will experience God's presence in a different way . Once you learn about God's Spirit , you know he is there. My life of peace , the life that is a piece of heaven, is God. He will not go away.

What does sincere and crack pots have in common

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:50:00 +0000

This morning as I read through my book of bible verses , first I realise there are so many to write about. So many times I have wanted to share what I read . Today I decided to write about being sincere . The word sincere comes from an unlikely beginning. In the middle east during biblical times, clay pots were a necessity . The clay pots were fragile , and sometimes a pot would crack. The clay pots that were cracked , would be patched with wax and sold as sincere. meaning "without wax " Hypocrites ,are "crack Pots". The pots were being pass off as something they were not . Being authentic means being sincere in the way you relate to others. This means letting people see you for who you really are. Jesus was totally authentic in the way he related to people. His sincerity helped to make him approachable and , reliable as a teacher and friend. I leave you with the thought of how are you sincere ? , did you know , love has to be sincere. If it isn't , it isn't love at all.

I going to even write on it . I am quite fortunate ,I get to spend more time with my 4 year old gr. daughter , since I have been home . Actually it was part of reason for leaving the working world . I may not have enough money ' I really did want to have more time with all my gr. kids . A bout two weeks ago when the little one was here, at my house . I heard this loud loud voice coming from her. She was having a snack . She said , Oh my gosh! There are spider webs on your light up there . All I could think to myself ,was, "busted By a 4 yr. old."But I know if you have a little one , you have these big events too. Last week I had a new hair cut . It is very short. Well gr. daughter , she is always giving complements, like , i like your shirt, or I love this snack you made for me , and so on. Well when she saw this short hair cut , she was ask a couple of times , how did she like my hair . She did not sat a word. And she still hasn't . i'm begining to think she doesn't like it. That's about it for now , hurry back to read my next blog.

Hear All About It

Hi to all of you readers . My diary today is related to a post I have written about being involved in children and teens education .In My former post was to inform people of some of the issues I have encountered , at schools , and the last post I talked about only one school , and my opinion about the education at that school. I live in AR. , and in AR. , education is not equal for all students. I have worked in schools in many areas of the state . Not as a teacher , but as a mental health counselor . I don't know if other states have the program , but it is a much needed service in all schools as you will see. I was made aware of many things I didn't know about education in AR. , for most public schools , the school counselor has other duties , some don't actually counsel students at all. However, I want to say as well, there are school counselors who do counsel , and they want to counsel the students . There are some fine counselors in schools , and if they see a child that needs more long term help , and other complications , they will try to get the student's parents to give permission for the child to be assessed , and begin counseling with mental health counselor, at the school. In this program , the child will be seen by an M.D. On a regular bases. The parents are requested to participate in family counseling. Parenting classes are provided. This is all part of the community mental health center, Or in many parts of AR. , there are mental health facilities that provide these services , actually , now , I think the private counseling centers have the extended program , with providing mh. counselors for schools, and case managers as well. Which in my opinion, these people make an enormous difference in children's lives. The facilities are complicated through Medicaid ., I think some grant funds also. Our state also has a program entitled; Our kids first , which provides treatment for children , who's parents don't have insurance. So this is another part of the education program in AR. As I said in the beginning , education is not equal. We have poor schools , that just can't measure up to schools in better districts. I know there are 4th graders who can't read , and the students are at least average intelligence . I used to think about this alot , and would be angry , I would say, what happened to no child left behind?! for some children with special needs , lets just say , in some cases , I shook my head. Recently, (and this is all) , I learned from a high school student , ( I have long since left this work ) , that the no child left behind program, at his school , teaches these students low level work , and then the student passes and is put into regular classes and they are lost . Of course , like I said , this is something I was told ,but if true ?

Maslows Hierarchy Of Needs

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:58:00 +0000

Hey everybody, this grandma reporting. I 've been busy checking out Internet sites, + sites , and extensions of sites + rss feeds . There is so much on the web . I went for a place called Cash lagoon. I have spent many hours today , trying to get started , as they say: Making Money. Yes I know , everyone says , it's not worth it . And right now , all I can say , I didn't start making money. This one was recommended on Technorati . You can start a search , and then all these , responses start pouring in. Some are really off the mark, a word may be all that is related to your search . I still think it's the best for me , because it's easy . But then, if you pick information that just takes up way too much time .Then what is your reaction ? For myself , and I know others , we have been scammed at least once or 3 times . I have gotten into , what feels like a maze , I have sometimes forgotten what I was looking for , then sometimes I find something I didn't know I was looking for . Right now , it's the presidential election ......OK Back to my response , it ebbs and flows . My fundraiser hasn't seen any response . So I have been searching for grants , for individuals , searching for making money online, and the making money online , I can't put in alot of time , sitting in front of a computer , filling out forms, (even if they let me.) For me, I want to continue to be free , to have time to do that certain thing for someone , freedom to walk into my backyard , feel the sun on my face , tell God how grateful I am for this new life . When I begin to feel afraid that I won't get to stay home and live the life that feels right for me , I pray , and every time , I receive comfort , I listen and God tells me what I need to hear . Once I get pass this point of getting support , then I will have more time to grow in all directions ! Life = Risk

Do You See Signs ?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:30:00 +0000

This grandma has been thinking about "signs", some people believe these signs are from God. I have to believe in signs because , since I have continued to learn about god , and the truths he has made known to me ; the signs I see , will be related to what I was told about myself and ,or they will give me answers. Some signs are like renforcing, like God just keeps finding ways to remind me , until I have to do something, or I spend time with God and Jesus, because it keeps showing up, and then I am given the message . Last week I was filling out personal form, on a website for microgiving. One of the questions was what comes first in your life. I began to have thoughts about god should come first , but I honestly felt I was betraying people I love . I felt ashamed that I couldn't make up my mind , I left it unanswered. I thought if I don't choose people I love , it would be very sad. I felt if I could not place God first, then that was wrong , because I have always heard, put God first in your life. Then the next day I was talking to god about this struggle . He explained to me how that works. If I put God first, I pray and learn more about how it all works then I know he comes first. So when I hear ," put God above all else" . It makes perfect sense to me now. I was thinking last night, I have written alot about miracles , but I haven't written much, in detail about the miracles . One reason for that is I find myself not knowing how to write in away that really says what I want to convey to anyone who would want to know. It's like when the insight comes, and I feel the miracle so strongly. That's when I need to write about it. I think that our interpretation of a miracle changes as we change , and the signs may be a part of the changes in a person. So as I began with the idea of signs , today I looked down , while I was dusting , and though I hadn't realize it, a book I had gotten from the library last week ,was laying there , and it said, "this is a time of miracles". I want to say I have reached a point where I don't know how to write about my next insight.

Letting You Know.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:55:00 +0000

Hi everyone, this grandma here. today ,dear diary, I want to talk about my thoughts. I have not written a post in 2 weeks. I have really missed this writing . But I became disillusioned when I looked for readers , anyone even coming to my blog , and the information from Google said 0 , in all categories. I also felt sad , one reason is because I like my blog. (most of the time). I had stopped trying to get advertisers , and began my personal fundraiser . I have also written quite a bit about myself and the reasons I am asking for every ones support. I have read some of it again, and I know all my writings are different . But they all were written for the same reason, some ,I added information ,I think , maybe ,they were confusing . But I felt compelled to start the fundraiser . I believe it is a very worth wild fundraiser . I continue to write about my relationship with God and Jesus . I have witnessed so many miracles , I have been and still am , being shown so much about life, love , faith , changing thoughts ,or maybe , thought patterns. I have been shown when I had some of the old thinking , I mean , thoughts ,that had been in my life for who knows how long , thoughts , that a person isn't even aware of , until God begins to show you . A few weeks ago , someone close to me was having problems in their longtime romantic relationship . I had prayed for them , but then , one day , I heard it! , quietly , in the back of my mind , I was wanting them to break up . I shuttered, what I was thinking was mean . And some how I was thinking it would be good for me!, wow. .. . I have to stop here but there is more to say . I will keep writing , and one day readers will come. And someone will understand me and why I have a fundraiser.

Little Girl Found

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:58:00 +0000

Hi everybody, grandma is ready to roll. Earlier this week we had an awful scare. A 12 year old girl was missing , when I heard about it , she had been gone for almost 3 hours . The missing child alert was sent out .It is a computer set to contact approx. 300,000 people . Then about the 5th hour , The call came in from her dad that he had found her . She was not t far from home , but she was hiding . The father had searched the hiding place earlier , as well as the police , and maybe others , their were already many local people , friends , neighbors , family, all looking for the girl. The 12 year old had taken the family dog with her , and she has him trained very well . As her friend said , "when she tells him to stay he doesn't move" . Also the dog will attack anyone who comes near her . The dog ,of course , is how the dad found his daughter . They were hidden but dad did see the dog and began to call him . The 12 year old had left a note leading everyone to think she had ran away . So there was nothing to hint where she may have gone, but the dog would make it different . She couldn't take the dog into some places , and she couldn't leave him alone. It was getting late , and all her friends had been contacted , and any where she might go , had been alerted . It was surprising that she was still so close to home , and that she was ok . It was a miracle that we all felt. The little girl was angry because she had been grounded , and there is more , but that is for the family to work out . Once she had returned, the officer spoke with her briefly about how many people were looking for her, and he told her about the missing child alert . He made it known to her , that the local police station was next door, and how he and the other officers were there anytime she needed to talk , not hold it in , and then do something like tonight . She appeared to listen , and shook her head in agreement . There were others that ask her to please call and talk about things . I thought telling this story could be , in some way, useful for others . More tommorrow on early teens.

Very Important Information About Help For Cost of Medication.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:15:00 +0000

Hey everybody, perk up your ears , I have lots to tell you and it is very important. Since I have left the working world , I have not had insurance , nor any prescription coverage. I told a friend last week that it is at least a partime job getting my medications. I , like many others can't afford my medications . When I say I can't afford my meds. , that is an understatement believe me. I have several meds. that cost over $ 400.00 a month . That doesn't include the others that are less in cost , however, they cost too much as well for a person with low , even medium income . I don't take all the meds. I have been prescribed , and I know there are many , many more people out there who could tell a similar story. I want to share some information about this delima . I called pharmaceutical companies an applied for their assistance programs. I have been accepted by some that send my medication at no cost , and the application for free medications is valid for a year . You can renew easily , as a matter of fact they will remind you of when to reapply . I realize that there are programs that are helping people get information about these services, such as the program PPA , Montel Williams is the spokesman for the program , and the pamphlet you receive , has a list of pharmaceutical assistance programs . Also some med cards for discounts on meds. While this information will be a miracle for many, there is still alot of costly medications that you can't get help with . Just to name one for myself ; Deplin 7.5 mg. 1 time a day. This is fairly new , it is termed a food medication . That sounds like it 's not that important ," but believe me it is". I recived a discount card from the company but the discount is like a dollar , for a months supply . The cost is approx. $ 60.00 a month . I want stop and mention here; for me and I know so many other people , when you get the right medications , they work for you ; it is" very scary ", to think about having to change or not be able to get the medications. I have been very fortunate , my Dr. and his nurse have help me so much , with samples , with supplying information to the pharmaceutical companies. I am very grateful to them. Another important part is , the people who don't know how to get this help . I know from my experience in mental health , some people are too sick to carry out the processes , also, when a person has many meds. , and can't get them all , there will be many serious ramifications . I'll end with this . " Some people have a monthly income ,of $ 880.00 ."

My Note To You.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 15:42:00 +0000

I just wanna say , my thoughts for post come every morning . I have my quiet time with God and Jesus ,and I always learn something ,I become impassioned to write , but I tend to put it off until later in the day. The problem is , by the time I get to writing , the ideas don't seem that interesting , or I jotted down notes that morning , and later , I can't finish what I started because the creative juices aren't flowing. In the beginning , when I first began posting , I would write in the morning , it was so fresh and I wanted to get the information written . I am going to at least , increase my posting when the thoughts are fresh , the inspiration has me feeling so good about what I write about. however, today I may have to put some of my post in draft for other days . That is fine for me . I won't loose them. I have alot more to offer about parenting, I want to tell you about things in life I know about. I also have much more to say about my spiritual experiences I want to share. The updateTechnorati Profile on my fundraiser : no donationTechnorati Profiles ,but I'm sure there will be soon.

Remember Your Child.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 22:49:00 +0000

Hi to all ,time for my diary entry. Parenting , it's been on my mind lately , I found myself feeling sad the other day because I was concerned about a little girl . She had told about an argument between her mom and dad. The little girl began to cry ,and said , "my daddy made my mommy cry. "mommy said it was ok" , but then she said ," I'm going to stay with my mommy ,(in an angry tone ), she said , "because my daddy made her cry." The argument she was upset about had happened a week or more earlier. The little girl ,who is only 4yrs. old , talked as if it had taken place that day . She said , "daddy bought me some shoes ." I had known about the argument . I knew the argument was about dad spending money on things for himself , when his little girl needed shoes . This is taught in parenting education. This is obvious to some people , that parents shouldn't argue with their children present . You might say ,"when I get angry I don't think about the kids being there . Besides ,their little kids ,their not going to remember anyway." There are many other versions of rationalizing , and it's true ,sometimes , in real life this happens. No one is perfect. However , if this post can stop one of these arguments in front of a child ;the child will have one less hurt , and won't think it's their fault , and he or she will have a better chance of having a happy childhood , and he or she will be told the truth about life according to their age. Yes, I could go on and on ,but I won't, "if "you will remember this. Remember your child.

I want to know my big picture. You can know yours

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:04:00 +0000

Dear diary,I have been wanting to get back to posting .I get caught up in technical stuff.I go round and round ,and sometimes forget what I was trying to do.However, I still am waiting for comments ;I don't know how many people are reading my blog . I would like to hear from you, maybe you could ask me to write about your interest, or cause ,or review your blog. "I am continuing to ask for donations to support myself, and I think it will be great to blog about how your donations are being used." God told me a few weeks ago to make a change ,instead of thinking how big an issue is ,think about how small it is. I had mentioned this in earlier post , and that it works. My growing relationship with God , and Jesus ,my savior, tells me if my focus is here, everything else is small , because everything else comes from that relationship. If you believe in God ,have faith ,and trust in him ,"which will come ." He will begin to change you completely. * Let Paul's prayer make you more aware of the big picture behind what's going on in your life. Ask God to help you get a better glimpse of what that really is.

A Good Plan For Worry

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:55:00 +0000

dear diary, I have many ideas this week ,I have learned this from Jesus. When you are having difficult times ; keep a positive mood ,clear your mind so you can hear the ideas that will help you. A person might say , how can I do that when all I can do is worry,can't get this off my mind. When you begin to have faith ,you can follow Jesus' ways. Worry takes up alot of time and drains you emotionally, but does not make things better, it makes them worse. Another part of this practice is take a day at a time. This to will take some faith , but if you take a day at a time ,you begin to realize , that your spirit is renewed each day.You wake feeling ready to go at it again ,when the night before you went to bed feeling frustrated and just not sure what to do . I look forward to spending my daily quiet time with God and Jesus. I know I will learn something very important ,for example ,recently ,I was told to stop looking at how big (the perceived problem) everything is , and start thinking about how small a situation is . This really worked for me . And it is the truth . I didn't focus on the perceived problem anymore. I did realize how small it really is , and small problems I can handle ,I know just as part of my day this small problem will be taken care of. This sounds like , putting things in to perspective , but it is much bigger than that . This becomes your way of thinking ,and it is so freeing ,and again ,it takes faith .

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NKJV

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:53:00 +0000

This has been quite a week for me , (And I still have today and tomorrow). dear diary, and to everyone who is interested. Everyday was not an ordinary day. It was Tuesday evening , approx. 10:00 pm , I found myself standing in my backyard , crying , and praying . Then a miracle occurred , I realized I genuinely felt unconditional love for all those I was praying for . It was the most amazing experience ,I felt that love for a person who I had prayed for help , with the resentment I felt for this person. It was the real thing. That night I knew I could not say anything bad , feel anything bad , about anyone ever again . I felt such love and I had insight that this is , who I really am ! I hope I am explaining this miracle so you can understand what happened . I felt Jesus so strongly ,I knew I was experiencing all that I have been praying for; to be filled with Christs' love , that I could give that love to others. I know there are many of you who have this love , so you know we have to go further than feeling this magnificent love . That night I heard, " that is not enough ", now you pray to find out if there is something you can do to help them feel the comfort of Jesus' love . And how wonderful it is ,I want to do this .

What does Depression Do

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:34:00 +0000

last night I wrote about teens education. The post was lost but I will write about the topic again soon. Today I want to pass along information about a few of the blogs I have discovered. I have been to The Jesus encounter 3 times since last week. The blogger ,Jeremy ,talked very candidly about himself and his life. The post title ,"Falling into Depression." I believe this is the correct title. I found myself going back to his blog to check on his condition. The first part of this week , he reported, he was to begin counseling with ministers from his church. I commented each time as I have professional experience with Depression. Jeremy ,like many people, can not understand why he is depressed now. He has found a girl ,and they both have real feelings for one another. However, he said he feels like a failure; he can't find a job, he expressed that he is full of rage and didn't know why . He has been having a fundraiser for money to attend a college for ministry. I believe most people would agree , he must be depressed if he is not overjoyed about his successful fundraiser, and finding that someone special. However when a person is clinically depressed, they can not enjoy anything. Some people have had no experience with depression. And some people think a person can think positive and they will get better. As a matter of fact , this week , someone told me just that . The parent ,and sibling had been telling her just think positive , don't let those thoughts in . This person said," I have been trying to replace the bad thoughts with something good, but I can't really do That .I am afraid I will loose control , and flip out."I still can't sleep , I don't get hungry ,I hear a negative statement and obsess about it . I can't work , I can't concentrate on my work. I constantly worry about, something bad happening, I' m worried about loosing my job , because I don't feel in control of myself. That sounds pretty scary to me . But there are millions of people who feel the same fear. One of the most important pieces of information; Without treatment the depression continues to get worse. And when a person does finally go for treatment , it takes longer to recover . If anyone needs to ask questions about depression or other mental illness ,treatment, etc. I will be glad to answer any of your questions. My gmail; lcelizabeth1 @ gmail . com, or you can leave a comment. Also ,my profile has an email address you can write to. Love to hear from you.

Be Aware Of Your child /Teens Education ,before it's too late.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:07:00 +0000

Hey to everyone, my diary entry today is important ,the title tells you so. I want to write about some of the experiences I have encountered related to our children's education. I will began with one of the most recent ,and one of the most important issues,to me. I recently went with a teen to check on her school schedule for the year.The teen is in the 11th. grade. We went into the counselor's office and the counselor began to read off the classes .The teen was very interested to know about one of her classes in particular. She got in that class. then we began to talk about some of the other ,socalled ,high school classes .One was parenting. I was taken aback;don't get me wrong ,what I am writing here is my opinion .I almost laughed .Maybe this class does prepare a student for college ,or higher learning ,I don't think many parents would even know this is where the money for education is being spent. So back to the schedule; the teen had been put into a class she had already taken,both ,1and 2 of Art appreciation , then the counselor told us ,well there are not that many classes to choose from . I told the counselor the teen is going to college after graduation, and the teen needed solid classes ,to me that means , a high school level class ,that will be important for continuing education . I think I got through to the counselor, because , we managed to make several changes .The teen is an intelligent person ,motivated to learn, excited about starting school .I am making several points here, the schedule ,the lack of solid education, the school counselors not having time to work with teens about plans after highschool ,that fact that many of us would never even think that some of these classes would be a part of a highschool education. My thoughts were ,if an adult had not been involved in this ,the student would have taken the pitiful schedule .After the meeting ,I ask about preparation for entrance exams for college , counselor said , oh there out there in the filing cabinet ,the counselor said the students would have some practice with the exam before graduation. I have had some experience in career counseling ; I know how important it is for a student to have an advisor, how important it is to begin learning about colleges ,scholarships ,etc.,before 12th grade. The last year of highschool has so many extra activities for seniors ,and the kids are caught up in being a senior, graduating ,parties, graduation gifts ,just to name a few. I know there are some schools better than others,but I am urging parents ,or if they are not available,some adult needs to be involved in the education of our children.There 's more ,but another time.

IT'S TIME TO TELL THE WORLD.

http://www.stumbleuponit.com/ Hey to all of you.Today's post is very important,I want to tell the world what I must do! Today I am writing about what has to be known. There is a universe of knowledge and I want more! I did graduate college, and I remember some of the information from my classes, but that only impassioned me to want to know more, more. I want to be able to have the freedom, and the financial support, to fill this need. I want to learn ,in depth , about so many subjects. I don't mean go back to college in the traditional sense. I am going to do my individual studies. Some of what I want; Anthropology, sociology, Theology, world history, ancient history; to name a few. If you have read some of my post, I have written about my spiritual experiences; how this spiritual awakening has changed my life; I had to grow my faith, and trust in God, in Jesus , so I would take this risk , otherwise, I would have followed my long pattern ; to become fearful because I had to support myself. Not having faith; when I couldn't handle it , when I couldn't pay the bills. Now it's time, I am 61,years of age. I will continue to ask for your donations , your support , to spend the last stages of my life , as it is meant to be. There are many of you who understand what I am saying , I ask that you pass it along ."Embrace that which defines you ."

Any Where You Want to Go.

Here in Arkansas,we have mountains, beautiful ,clear lakes, lots of trees, and ,destinations to about anywhere in Arkansas, from the capital city, are approx. 3 hours.there are so many diverse ,fun places to go.You can go north to the ozarks,to float the Buffalo river ,Blanchard Springs ,where you can tour the big,big, cave.Also Branson Missouri ;lots of entertainment there.you can go way down south,arkansas, and there you can dig for diamonds;yes, really, real diamonds. my recent day trip was to the west.my niece is a photographer, so we took along my 2 granddaughters ,16 and 3.Our trip was about an hour.We went to a little place where there was food like people used to get at the general store ,giant sandwiches.And other specialties.The place had many artifacts , I especially enjoyed the native American array.There were beautiful garments, a huge animal headdress ,(which I had to try it out ),it was made from a Buffalo . So, inside and out there were many photos taken ,and alot of fun ,we could be heard ,saying ,look at this!,wow , over here ! , what is that?

Do you know The Reason

There is so much in this world dear diary,and dear readers. There is always a new experience to be had, knowledge to learn, people to come into your life. And I have heard it said , that some people come into your life for a reason, some people come into your life for a season, some people will always be in your life. (I think people always come into our lives for a reason.) As you think about the people that have came into your life.Do you ,or have you discovered if there is a reason? I have recognized some of the people , and the reason . We ourselves enter into lives.I believe the last person who came into my life showed me how to be a better person, and made me want to be a better person. I think about that person even now ,the experience was spiritual; I say this because I became acutely aware my negative thinking. I realized I was a jealous person, I didn't like knowing this in the beginning, I eventually saw it was a blessing.I embraced it all and began to catch myself ,and as I started to practice changing,I would spend time talking and learning, and how this person seemed to always say things I wanted to remember. She would tell things I knew were said to let me know I am a lovable person. Then she would take my bad or mad mood and put a new perspective out there for me to see . God does speak to us through others,and you" know "when this happens.

Hello to all, before I begin to write in my diary,I need to explain to all of you,I have not been posting and I apologize to everyone.I have tried to change templates because I had placed a large widget ,no 2 widgets....well when I post today ,you will see what I mean. I have prayed for along time now to be free;free to continue to learn about many many things.I want to continue to have my daily time with God and Jesus,I say daily time,but actually ,some days it is most of the day.This is difficult for me to write,but I am deeply grateful and humble as I say these things.I know there are those of you longing to hear these precious words I hear.I have been trying to set donation symbol this week ,because I know I will need support to live life in the manner in which God intended.I say this because I started out in life with the feeling and it is who I am. So I will try again and eventually get things in order. I have written 2 post this week,but I don,t see them,maybe you can. I want to tell you about my surprise and amazement that has been going on ,probably all my life,and you may relateto this.Regularly ,such as this morning,I awoke with the word "choice"in my mind.I did think briefly about things I have said,that life is choices.Then soon ,during my quiet time ,I open my new book,100 favorite bible verves,and as usual,I open to a page ;sometimes because I sense this by small hints.Today I opened to a page ,where my fingers did the walking,and of course the content was lesson about choices.I am so surprised,but this word is far from describing this.Just a few days ago ,I remember praying about my practice of blogging and with all the time I have put in to learn and produce a blog.I wanted God to give me truth.I began to see signs,I looked down at a paper and saw,don't quit.I read in my book ,believing in god is all about risk and trust.
