Thankful Tuesday

First off I must apologize to each of you for lack of blog the last few days. I had vendors here on Thur and Friday, and did not have the needed alone time to write...I did not want to just write to write...each time I try and fill it with what is on my heart at that time...although I had plenty to say....just did not have the needed time to type....for that I apologize. On that same note....I felt so thankful for the friends and family that wrote me to make sure that I was ok.....it was very much appreciated.

My thoughts were that I was just going to give you an update on the events over the past few days....some of the awesome things that God has done for us and some other key events...but then at times things just change and you have to go with them...

Well since I was out of the building most of yesterday, I was behind on my email. As I was catching up this morning....I ran across an email from Stephanie, now I knew that I had to pray for whatever was in there..before I opened it..(....I need the Lords hand on this). A few months ago, I really just prayed that I can release this situation and place the entire situation at his feet, I know that my human heart and mind does not deal with the situation correctly and most times is not glorifying to GOD.

Well the email was as bad as I expected, full of many lies and truths that only benefit her. I will give her credit, she does an excellent job of making herself look good....unfortunately she does not use the truth or all of the facts in her emails...now I know that she prints copies and uses these as her form of communication to me...which is all fine with me. I know that I have a battle ahead of me, but for once I am at peace. I know that this is not my fight, I know that the Lord is my captain and he will guide me and direct me....on that note...I do ask for each of your prayers....not for my will but that his will, pray that I can have an open heart and an open mind that I can focus on what he calls me to do. I know that God has a plan and that his plan will be completed.

And if I needed any further reminders that I am not fighting this battle alone and that he is on my side, all I had to do was open up my very next email, the verse of the day from Air1.

"For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.'"
Isaiah 41:13, NLT

Now I ask do we serve an awesome GOD or what?....when we think that the situation is too big or too hard....he reminds us that as we walk with him....he holds our right hand.....

Love
Mick

Just make sure that your daughter know's you love her (I know most people would say she already know's how much you love her, however she is a teenager full of emotions and needs reasuring ALLWAYS)
and try to spend as much one on one time with her as possible :-)
