“Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”- Matthew 28:18-20
Psalm 146-147, 1 Corinthians 15:1-28
1 Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Today was such a nice day. I got to spend some quality time with my love and we got to go out to eat together before he had to come home and get ready for work. It was so nice. And to think the entire days spent with him, I didn't have alot of pain and I didn't have a headache at all. I just love it! It was so special..I JUST LOVE HIM!!! Everyday he gives me more reasons why I love him.
Being that Mike is a bean buster. He loves to bust beans to see what kind of attention he will get from it. One of the things he jokes about is "not being married" or he'll say, I'm not married today.. He puts things on his FB page about flirting.. He is a major flirt with anyone. That is just him, just like I flirt too. Everyone knows it's all just in fun. It is put out there that we are married and that it's all innocent. Anyway, he puts on his page, that his relationship is complicated due to blondes, brunettes, and red heads. People are like, aren't you married?? LOL he's like yes and what does that have to do with anything. LOL He knows I know what he put, he knows that it's all in jest. Now he puts on there, besides the complicated part. He puts, " Its hard to say that I'm married when I'm in the middle of such a long mid life crisis." I'm not sure if that is verbatim but anyway, I thought, WOW! I took a step up in the world. It used to be, I'm not married, I don't want to be married then it went into a huge joke of it, now he graduated or I did not sure which one, to he knows he is married it's just hard to admit when he is in such crisis. LOL And he just sits back and waits for people to make comments and to see what he says. He's such a nutcase!!!
I'm so glad that I know for a fact that he loves me with all of his heart and his actions are loud and clear. B/c if I had any doubts about us, I would really wonder myself if he was kidding or not. But in the past two years we have worked very hard to were we are today and I know that he wouldn't live with out me. He has proven that one too many times. But it is his gestures and his actions and little tid bits that he tells me through the days that I fall for him more and more each time. You just can't beat it.. That's why I love him sooo much. I actually appreciate his sense of humor. Some times it's off color. But I take the good with the bad and roll with it..

Friday/sat 3rd/4th personal
Today was a tough one. I did very little yesterday. But still woke with my shoulder blades a mess and my head and neck still hurting. I'm so Glad that it's almost Tuesday and I'll be going to the Dr's for that appt. I really am not leaving until they give me something for all these issues. I'm so done.. I'm not a super woman and I just can't with stand it any longer. So will have to see what the weekend brings. Who knows. I didn't do much but cook an easy supper and make Mike's lunch. That was it.. I lounged around outside while Mike raked the yard, front and back. That was it. got on FB for a bit,played Frontierville and now reading and blogging. Now i'm ready for bed.. Good night all...

scripture of day/ daily for sept3/4
“What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.”- 2 Timothy 1:13-14
Psalm 143-145, 1 Corinthians 14:21-40
Psalms are prayers to the Lord for hearing one's prayers and asking for protections. And Corinthians speaks more about talking in tongues and allowing it and such.
Sorry it's a tough night tonight with my neck and back hurting that I am really not that much into it, but needed to make sure I did the reading. There really wasn't alot that jumped out at me for now except one part in 1 Corin. 14:33 "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, 34women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. " As you read further it goes back down into not forbiding speaking in tongues.. Never acknowledges the idea of anything that has to do with women. I'm so lost.. Is this true or was it just that way back in the days the bible was written?

thurs/fri 2sept personal note
Today started out to being a very painful one. Oh I had such back and neck pains. NO headache, which is nice though. But I finally crawled out of bed and drug myself to the shower. Afterward, I came down and took some excedrin to take some edge-ness off. B/c I won't take a Neurontine during the day time, right now. I made a dr's appt with a new dr down here in Crestview. I hope that Mike likes this dr. I hate chasing down dr's for him. I try and tell him not everyone is Franky and no one is as easy as he is. So I hope he goes in with an open mind. For me though, I'm really pushing that I need something to help with these flares that I'm having more and more each time. And of course, with each flare, the pain seems to radiate more and feel worse. Great! But anyway, Tuesday at One we go.
Mike and I carried up the small tv cabinet to organize the towels and what not in our room. I took out the towels we use out of the hall bathroom. Now that not only Jason and Sam is using it, but come the end of the month, Melissa and the girls will be using it also.. so needed to have our own private stuff for our bathroom. I later on went back in the garage and took out a bedroom tote and a few bags of coats and such. So slowly but surely making room in the garage for more storage to go in. We are putting Jason and Sam in the smaller room (really the office) and then Melissa will take the bigger spare room for her and both girls. So until Sam and Jason get their own place she will have to manage or sleep on the couch. We'll see. But after twenty some odd years, I'm NOT giving up my master bedroom for anyone. Being that Mike and I are the ones paying the most in the rent and bills, we deserve the bigger room with the private bathroom. I deserve that much. All my life I've given up my bed or my room for others. I've slept on couches, I've made my room in the living room, one too many times.. so I think it's our turn this time...I really do.
So after about three trips up the stairs with things. I was done. Figured I did enough for one night. I refuse to over do anything tonight and make myself hurt more then I already do.. So after i was done with that, I wrote and old friend of my mom's and copied (typed a copy) of her memorium that Dad's Bowlbyfamily.org group made up for him. So she could see what mom has done in the last years of her life.. Then I copied and pasted a portion of it for my brother Robert so he can see also. Thought they would like that... Lastly, I did my bible readings for the days and put my personal note on it.. So now that my hands and fingers have typed for like four hours tonight. I think I'm done and ready to go up to my bed and read more of my NOra Roberts book.. So till TOMorrow night. NITERS!!!!

“This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”- Isaiah 48:17
All I can say to this one is AMEN!! With a chuckle behind it. I spent all my life in looking to my mom for the directions in my life that I should take. so when HF took her from us to be with him, it was the most heartbreaking thing I thought I could endure. Mind you I spent a good portion of my night copying her memorium from a family member. Yet thinking again how Robert S. Wood put in his letter how she was super mom to every one she came in contact with. Now reading this tonight is just a manifestation that it's the Lord that directs us. So being intuned to his Holy Spirit will get me there. Thank goodness, I don't do alot with consulting Him in my prayers first...
Psalm 140-142, 1 Corinthians 14:1-20
Corinthians 14
Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues
1Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2For anyone who speaks in a tongue[a] does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.[b] 3But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. 4He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[c] but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues,[d] unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
I am still amazed of those who do this.. It is the most honor to be able to listen to one who speaks in tongue. It is even more so of an honor to know that what they are saying is for the Lord to hear and to understand what they are speaking. I love to listen to someone in prayer to our Father and start speaking in tongue. It just send shivers up my spine to listen...

Wed/ thurs 1st personal
Today was a bit better then yesterday. I did learn something tonight. I learned that there is a main muscle that runs in the back lower part of my neck that runs right up to the top of my skull. This is the place where it's effected so much in making me have such headaches. It's a fibro trigger point.. I'm sure that the tightness in my bra straps and the weight of my breast pulling on the straps and the wrong size of the bra fit, has alot to do with the trigger point and the pains and headaches I'm having. That is why when at night I take the bra off and I relax that muscle, it starts to feel better till I put the bra back on.. Geez! makes alot of sense. So tell me, where can I find the money to buy bras that actually fit and not have the weight of my bust pull down on my shoulders to effect the trigger points in my neck to solve all this?? Ha??? GEEZ!
I got to finally make it to Walmart today and get the rest of the things we needed. So now we are like down to our last twenty dollars for milk and cream and suffer the rest of the two weeks for anything else, I guess. B/c the water bill came in and will have to use Jason's weekly rent money to pay for that. Seeing as it went up another $2o some odd dollars. So what we have in that closet is what we live on for the next two weeks, I guess. I'm so glad that I got the rent, electric, internet and phone paid for on this check.. Thank Goodness. b/c it's about it get even tighter come the end of the month.. If we can struggle through the month of September, we should be all good come October. Then we can sail the rest of the year and have a decent Xmas. I hope, along with a plane ticket for my son to come too. So everyone pray that it all work out for us...

“The earth is filled with your love, O LORD; teach me your decrees.”- Psalm 119:64
Psalm 137-139, 1 Corinthians 13
Psalm 138
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise
3 When I called, you answered me;
8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands. (I love this. How great is the knowledge of all that?)
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 O LORD, you have searched meand you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD. 5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me," 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body.All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. 19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! 20 They speak of you with evil intent;your adversaries misuse your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
I left all of this in, b/c it was only good in full. everything was a tug at the heart strings. Not just one part of it... So I had to..
1 Corinthians 13 (I really like this scripture alot)
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8. Love NEVER fails. 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Ok so when it talks about speaking in tongues.. Is it really speaking in Hebrew? Is that what the Pastor's wife speaks when she is talking in tongue?? WOW How awesome is that!!!
