This is the day the Lord has made

   As I think about all the LORD is doing around the world I can't help but rejoice for . . . "this is the day that the Lord has made!"  Though I am going through a very interesting time in my life I am so encouraged. I am surrounded by so many people who are praying for me.  I am so encouraged.
   For me today LIFE is: knowing that GOD is in control and I can trust HIM with my future. HE is the one who knows me best and loves me most.  No matter what I face I face it knowing that HE is with me even if I "walk through the valley of the shadow of death" - there is no need to "fear evil" for "HIS rod and staff bring comfort"..
     What are you facing today?  Need some encouragement?  Hope?  You can trust JESUS for that and HE will come through for you.  Don't have a relationship with JESUS?  What are you waiting for?  HE loves you.

When you feel alone

   Sorry I have been missing for a while.  There have been many developments in my life that kept me from getting around to writing but I am back and will post things from time to time.  Right now I have me to work on.  Being diagnosed with diabetes officially after ignoring it for 12 years I am discovering that you can ignore diabetes but, it won't ignore you.  It's a vicious killer that stalks you quietly but, all the while it is killing you slowly.

   On Memorial Day I finally realized that diabetes was an enemy that I couldn't fight alone.  For several years I had been my own doctor thinking that it would just go away if I was "good enough" and didn't eat too many sweets.  I said: "I will not live locked behind the bars of being a diabetic: having to test my blood sugar, inject myself with insulin and be on a diet that doesn't allow me to eat and drink what I want when I want.  After all, I have sacrificed so much to be a servant of GOD, eating is one of the pleasures I have hung on to."  How crazy is that.

   Now not only diagnosed with diabetes (my blood sugar almost 500), I also found out that I had a severe blood infection that would take six weeks of a strong antibiotic through an IV to kill, but they were also going to have to amputate all the toes on my left foot.  The night before the surgery I was awake all night.  I had a long talk with GOD and asked HIM to forgive me for neglecting my "temple" all these years.  I was feeling alone but that's when GOD reminded me of "Footprints in the Sand". I am sure you've read it - if not Google it and read it.  I realized that this is one of the times there is only one set of footprints and HE was going to carry me though this.  HE has.  I am writing this from my second stay in the hospital facing two month of vacuum therapy to heal my found from the surgery.  If this doesn't work - more of my foot will have to go.  Pray with me that this is it.  

   For me today LIFE is knowing that GOD will not leave me or forsake me and HE's only a prayer away.  Whatever you are facing today, it's not to big for GOD.  I pray you will call out to HIM for help. If you don't know JESUS as your LORD and SAVIOR and don't even know what that means, email me and I will be happy to help you with that!  E-mail: ProjectEarth2000@hotmail.com  God bless you!

LIFE is GOOD!  Just DO IT!
