Hello my friends! It was exciting to talk to Darla today - she talked to the Dean today and found out they are giving her more salary - 4,000 dollars more, so she's happy! She was on her way to the carpet store - said her realtor thought it a good idea to get all new carpets in, for her sale of the house, and she thought we should too. She also wants us to come the first part of August - one last Texas trip - to help move them. We'll see. She said Lori and Jeremy will be there, he's going to fix the flooring. They'll be here this weekend so we can talk more then. We are having our own dug potatoes for supper tonight!!! Fresh red ones! Another blessing!
Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.
July 8 - Jesus Calling
When you seek my face, put aside thoughts of everything else. I am above all, as well as in all; your communion with me transcends both time and circumstances. Be prepared to be blessed bountifully by my Presence, for I am a God of unlimited abundance. Open wide you heart and mind to receive more and more of Me. When your Joy in me meets my Joy in you, there are fireworks of heavenly ecstasy. This is eternal life here and now: a tiny foretaste of what waits you in the life to come
“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”
—John 15:11
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Gloria, it sounds like things are really moving along well. I'm very happy that Darla got more money.
See everything is going to work out.
With the help of the good Lord.
Blessings to all.

You know, I don't usually come to the forums in the evenings but here I am. I saw that Gloria already posted for Thursday so I will post here instead of Wednesday.
Gloria, that is great news for Darla. Like Harlene said, things are moving along, they will all come together in due time.
Hey, Harlene, hope you've had a good day.
I've had a busy day cleaning out old files, throwing away paper and such. Lord knows I have lots more to get rid of. I thought about you, Gloria, getting ready to pack up and move. I'm sure you're not a pack rat like we are so your moving will probably be effortless. If we had to pack and move, well, let me just say, the thought interrupts my well being! lol
It is so doggone hot and humid, I second guess the a/c unit and check the air vents just to make sure it's still running. It's running but the output isn't to my satisfaction!
Well, I will hush now. Hope y'all have a pleasant evening. Many blessings.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles:
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself...
An unexpected phone call from an old friend .....
Green stoplights on your way to work...
The fastest line at the grocery store...
A good sing-along song on the radio...
Your keys found right where you left them.
Share this with the people you'll never forget.
I just Did...
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED

Gloria~ I know I've said this before, but it's worth repeating ~ If only we all looked at life the way you do, the world would be a much happier place.

Gloria, Great news from Darla! I hope the move goes smoothly for them, and their home sells quickly. I loved the bent tree story today. It was new to me, and just spoke to me.
Hi Lucy, Harlene, Julie, Puddles, and anyone I missed. I hope the weather levels out for everyone in a bad heat area, lack of rain, etc. We had humidity yesterday that was pretty bad, and it was only 68 degrees!!! It's more humid this summer than many I can remember, but very nice temps. I'm heading out for my walk soon, but wanted to wish everyone a good day, and many blessing throughout your day. Praying daily for you and yours, pinky

Harlene - She needs to be at school here on August 19th already! She thinks she shouldn't move until our house is sold, but we will anyway. We don't want to lose that apartment and just trust St. Joseph to do his job.

Lucy - so glad you came last night! Thanks for the Miracle post! We all can use that! So you're throwing paper and such away too!! What a job!
07-09-2015 03:28 PM
Julie - what a nice thing to say! Thank you! You are such a sweetie!

Pinky - hope this pink doesn't hurt your eyes. I like to try new colors and fonts - it takes the boredom away for a time. Easy to do too! Hope you don't mind. Praying hard that both our homes sell quickly!!! St. Joseph has a big job to do for us!!! We lowered our price again! I'm glad can post somethings that is new to you and speaks to you, hope for more people too. God speaks to us in a number of ways, doesn't He?
