Where's Your Remote????

And she did it again!!!!! Amy is the greatest. She obviously has a hotline straight to God Himself. It NEVER fails that she nails me every time!!! I'm so sure that God speaks right into the very depths of her heart knowing just what I need when I need it!!!! For those of you who know me know that I could live without a TV. It would not bother me at all if we did not have one in our home!!! And what would she come up with this year? She used a remote control for her topic!!!! She asked her husband for the remote and got a lot of questions in return and he did not want to relinquish "control" of the remote control. That's how we are usually. I have been told by my family many, many times that's it's "my way or no way!!!" I can't see that........but boy they sure can. Actually I know I have control issues and I'm trying s-l-o-w-l-y to get "control" :-) of them!!!!! Ugh!!! There it is again!!!!! You know object lessons make a vast impression on people and I'm sure all those ladies, including me, will never forget that lesson, but it won't be about our husbands and their remote controls!!!!



It was such an AWESOME day just as I knew it would be. It was uplifting, invigorating, inspiring and just what I needed. I'm still reeling from the different classes, the wonderful speakers and all the topics we had to pick from. We even saw how God can make a morning glory flower look like it had a light bulb in the center of it!!! How great is our God??? Yea......that's what I thought. I could write a book about all the things.......but I won't..........it's bed time!!!



I'm sure there will be more to come on this subject when my brain can function more properly!!

Ladies Retreat

Tomorrow is the day!!!! The day I've been anxiously awaiting for an entire year!!!!!!! Once again there is going to be a Ladies Retreat at Black Oak Baptist. What an uplifting, exciting, invigorating time this is. I get so excited about it every time I think about it!!! I wish I could wrap every lady I know up and take them with me. I have encouraged as many ladies as I can to go.........in our church and outside our church. The ladies at Black Oak do such a wonderful job and I'm so thankful that Roberta had the idea to start it. I'm more glad that she has continued it and hope for many, many more! I know there is a "GREAT DEAL" of work, time and effort put into it. I'm so blessed and honored that they asked me to sing again!!!! I love singing!!!!! Anywhere I get a chance!!! I just can't even believe the song God took me "straight" to when I was praying for a song to fit the theme of the retreat. I already had one that basically went with it, but this one just says it so plainly!!! It is sooooo awesome!!! I can't wait to hear the speakers. I just know my sweet Amy has something so special that God has given her. I can't wait to see Deanna and laugh!!! She cracks me up!!!! And I'm anxious to see what Marie has planned......and the other speakers..........I know they're all going to be good!!! I just wish I could go to every single class that is offered!!! I am soooooooooooooooo excited!!!! I will update after the fact!!! :-)

Did I mention that I'm sooooooooooooooo excited!!!!??????

Beam us up Jesus!!!!!!!!

Well, once again this last week we had to say "see ya later" to one of our dear friends. God called yet another of His wonderful saints home to be with Him. One of the sweetest ladies you could have known. She was one of the greatest witnesses for Christ who ever walked the face of the earth. You know how you can just tell some people are Christians just by looking at them even though they don't dress any different or talk any different.......well.......they dress and talk differently than some of the world today, but you know what I mean. She was one of those types. She just had the love of Jesus written all over her face. Although our hearts were saddened we rejoiced in the fact that we know we will see her again one day and get to spend eternity with her!!!! It just hurts to give someone back when God decides it's time for them to come home!!! I'm looking so forward to Heaven!!!! Lately I tell everyone I know, and I'm sure they're tired of hearing it, that I pray nearly every single day for Jesus just to come back and get us all!!! Mind you....I said...."ALL"!!!!! This one at a time business is just getting to be to much for me. I have read enough of my Bible and have been a Christian long enough to know that the "signs of the time are everywhere." Of course, then again, my Grannie always got in a frantic panic when I was a little girl and the moon would turn red. She would always tell me that surely Jesus was coming back because the Bible said that the moon would turn to blood in the last days. Gee.............I know God's timing is not ours, but that was almost 40 years ago!!! One day though, it's gonna happen!!! Gabriel will blow his horn, the Eastern sky will split and in a flash..........we'll be gone!!!!! The world won't know what happened. I can imagine since all the hoop-la about aliens has peaked everyone's interest in the last several years they will try to explain it away that we have all be abducted by the aliens!!!! They can explain it however they want!!! I'll be gone!! I'll get to see all the ones that I love so dearly once again and never have to be separated from them again!!!!!

Can you imagine E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y????? It never ends!!!

I'm just sittin' and waitin', anticipatin' the day!!!! Come on.................."beam us up Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!:
