Today, another to serve my Lord and He is still on the throne. I am so excited to see how the Lord is working in younger Christian lifes. This past week-end at church our pastor was out of town so our pastor used other men in church to hold the preaching hours.
In our Sunday morning service Bro. Caleb talked about Malachi and how God uses burdens to help us grow for HIM. My mom told me one day Burdens are gifts from God. Think about it who do you depend on through a trial or a burden that are troubling you. We all need these trials because it draws us closer to God we depend on HIM more during these times.
In our evening service Bro. Jon talked about walking in the newness of life when we became a Christian. His text was taken from Romans 6:1-4. Living a Christian life should be something we desire to do and want to do. We need to not let sin continue to become a dominion over us once we become a Christian we need to show forth a change in our life. In order to do this we need to stay in church, stay in the Bible, and stay in prayer with the Lord. We all have the opporutinity to slip back into the world and doing wrong even after we become a Christian because of our old flesh we are human still and the old desires try to slip back in.
This is the way we all should be I never want my Lord and Saviour to become a habit for me to serve. I want to always serve HIM because I love HIM. I want to keep that excitement in my life of serving HIM.
ISAIAH 26:3
THOU WILT KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: BECAUSE HE TRUSTETH IN THEE.

August 23rd and 24th
Well, Saturday the two younger boys and I went to Kentucky. We live about thirty mintues from the Kentucky were we live at now. I told my hubby I can see my KY mountains from here. I really do like where we live at now I just wish we had one more bedroom and a great room for entertainment. I went over to Middlesboro and shopped for about five hours. It was a good day and we got some things we needed.
Sunday, was a good day I had to teach Sunday School this morning my hubby had a head ache. I just used the same lesson for both hours. We talked about Daniel and the Lions Den. I think sometimes God just gives you a little lesson even though those stories we have read and heard several times growing up. God does protect his own even if the enemies happens to be a pack of lions have you even thought about it that way. It was amazing that Daniel did not even have a scratch on him the next morning after spending the night with these lions. Our God is awesome.

Well, we went to school yesterday to the little church in Sneedville. The pastor and his wife seem very nice and down to earth. Her mother also attends the church and will be one of the teachers in the learning center. I was a little hesitate at first of the location of the school. Actually, you could say drive up this mountain weekly "NOT". I thought only huge mountains exist in Kentucky I think I just found one of the most beautiful views in East Tennessee. It was like God was showing me just wait and observe listen and then cast your judgement or decision and within the hour I had my answer. Just pray for us as we continue to train up our children for the Lord. God gives us children to raise them up for His glory and not for our glory and honour. My prayer is that each of my boys grow up to be Bible sounded young men.
While at the school after talking to the pastor since I have prior experience in the A.C.E. curriculum I was offered a job. I knew then I was in God's will. I had pray about this and God answer my prayers. I am very excited about this for the boys. We had hesitated on leaving our school we have attended since 2005 for the boys, but God's still on the throne and he knows what is best for us. It is hard to leave a place you are use to or familiar with, but sometimes God redirects your life even when you can not seem to understand. We ??? our Saviour. The question I have for myself is WHY?? do I have any authority to question my Saviour. Father Knows Best.... Always!!! Yeah!! I have someone who knows my future and if I will let HIM then HE will lead the path.

God's Mighty Protection
This morning my Saviour show his mighty protection. For anyone that knows me I am highly allergic to bee stings. I must have medication on hand at all times. I went out on my back deck just for a free second really to talk to Robbie. When I came into the house a large bee was on my neck near or very near my scare from my surgery I had in March of this year. Anyway, I knock it off and it stung me on my finger. I took my medication along with some bee sting kit rub. It dawn on me just free minutes later how being stung in the neck could have been extremely dangerous for me. I am just thanking and praising God for his mighty protection.

I hope today my children will be more loving and obedient. I talk to my God about this as I laid my head down to sleep last night.
Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one in another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; verse 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.
I know my God directed me to these scriptures this morning. I loved my job as a mother would not trade it for any other occupation but some days you just want to run away for a few hours. I believe to be a successful mother is continue prayer and you need patience. In my personal devotion today this really was like BOND letters to me.
Today's Pray Read: For God to give all members of your family the desire to serve one another and that they would feel no compulsion to compete to be the "first in line."

Sweeter than Chocolate
I have a devotional book called "Keys for Kids" for my boys. I read these when I was growing up there webiste is http://www.keysforkids.org/. In today's devotion we learned how God's Word should be more sweeter to us than any chocolate. "God wants you to be hungry for His Word--the Bible- more than your're hungry for any of the things of this world-even more than you crave a food or a video game, or a television show and etc. Psalm 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to the mouth!
Let's all put God first in ever decision we make today.

Sometimes God needs to give us a good thump in the head to wake us up. The question how do we respond to the knocks and blows and trials of life. Do we rejoice or sing, or do we complain and fret.
Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. As hard as life may be sometimes God as a purpose we just have to except it and realize HE holds the future and HE knows the outcome. Yes, this is a lesson for me personally to take heed to currently in my life. Although, it is easier said than done. My prayer is that I become successful in my daily walk with the LORD JESUS and more obedient to his HOLY WORD>
