I am back. Sorry to be gone soo long. Alot of changes are taking place and of course things have been very hectic. My struggling has become less and less. I slowed down on doing so many studies but increased my praying/talking with God excessively.

Today I am still feeling disconnected. Have a longing, a need inside of me yearning for fulfillment. Last night at church I needed a word, yet wasn't able to 'connect' with the lesson being taught. Wasn't able to get my 'word'. Why? Because I have yet to return fully to God, even after writing and reading my entry, KNOWING I must return to Him wholly. Yet I am still floundering like a fish out of water. Ahhh but I did get a word.. I just failed to recognize it.. And of course as I sit here pondering my writings to you, God recalls a verse from last night

Life has been very hard and long this week. I have been working alot and trying to stay caught up with my home duties. Yet only managed to stay behind.. Not much Bible studying either.. AND let me tell you I can feel myself sliding back into my old self, I can feel myself stepping away from God and trying to overcome and deal on my own. My mountains have quieted and and things have been running smooth, yet I can feel the 'time bomb' slowing ticking, waiting, burning in my gut..

Tonight after church my daughter and I were talking about our thoughts and words again. This has been an ongoing subject in my home for over a month now. I told her about the verse in the Bible that says to set your mind on Godly things and you will become more Godly. She asked how could she do that. Around her neck was a pair of headphones attached to a mp3 player that she just received for her birthday, I asked her what she was listening to. She said Kryptonite. And then began to explain to me what the song was about. She told me she didn't think it was a bad song. I asked her if it was a christian song. She said no. I said does it mention God. She said no. I then explained to her how many youth her age identify with music alot and how if she was to change that one simple thing, to listen to christian songs, then that would help her to think on God and the things of God.

Greetings to all and I hope your Thanksgiving and this past week has been good to you. I hope everyone was able to find many things to be grateful for! God has shown me so many things I am thankful for.The greatest is the parable in the Bible about the king that forgave the servants great debt, $10 million! And how that very servant would not forgive a $20 debt. Which spoke volumes to me about HOW MUCH of a price Jesus paid for me, you and everyone.

Hebrews 11:1 (amp) 1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
Hebrews 11:1 (kjv) 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not see.
