TRUST ME... it's not EVERY day that I'm cleaning my bathroom singing, "This is the Day that the Lord has made!" But today I am. Today I am focusing on my blessings. Today I am living in the praises of what God has given to me, done for me and continues to hold for our future as The Little Family.
I claim that all God has for us that we will be in a position to recognize and be grateful for and share with others!
Earlier today my mind was consumed with other things so my husband suggested I put on a movie and just not think. I was worried. Stressed. He put on a Nicholas Sparks movie I haven't seen and I thought I had seen them all! :) I did and I just said, "God I give it to you. I can't do it. It's gonna take a miracle." I should have prefaced my last post with this one.
I want you to realize that it's not every day that I'm feeling so up and my faith so lifted. But those days come and they come more often when you WATCH FOR THEM!
I'm watching. May my eyes not be turned away from the Lord and distracted by anything.
To Him I give ALL Glory and today truly is a day that He made... and I will rejoice and be glad in it. JOIN ME! :)

When cleaning a home becomes a MIRACLE
TODAY is January 5th. My rent is due. I have $0 to go to my rent. I have barely enough to keep gas in the truck. A friend, my husband and I just kept trusting God was going to provide. We KNEW He would. The 5th came today and I admit my heart sank some. I texted the landlord who is intolerant of late rent and let her know my rent would be late with no response.
Today I did as my husband said and I just quit thinking about it. The Bible tells us that worry won't add a day to our lives. ( but we all know it can cause lots of health problems!)
Well tonight, my friend called. I was sharing good news about my mother. (another post) She interrupted me and said, "Would you like to hear the GOOD NEWS???" I said, "yes, Praise God, tell me some good news! I need it!" She said I talked to Joey ( a man she works with) and you've got two new construction houses you can clean for $200 each! PRAISE GOD! That's a tad bit over half my rent! She said and if you do it perfectly and quickly I think I can get you two more! PRAISE GOD! I am humbled.
Sometimes God is a "in the nick of time" God. He wants us to see that it is HIM and ONLY HIM that is providing. We think a job will provide but people that have had the same "secure" job for 30 years get laid off. We deceive ourselves in thinking JOBS PROVIDE. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we sit around being lazy and say, "welllllll..... God will pay the bills somehow....yawn." NO! Put some feet to your prayers! Give God something to bless! HE WILL!
Who knew that cleaning two homes would be a miracle for us? And if we do really amazing and do it fast, we might just get two more! And that would pay ALL my rent and late fees! And on top of that, there are TEN more of those houses being built that we can try and get! I don't want to be greedy. I want God to use those houses to bless those who need it like He is us but you bet if He chooses us I am going to be entirely fully, humbled and grateful! YES, God answers prayers. He's STILL ALIVE!
Have faith, my sisters, because He sees you in your need and He won't forsake you. He promises not to forsake us! I'm excited! Thrilled! THANKFUL. HUMBLED.
His provisions may come in the most unexpected, mysterious ways- but they *WILL* come. Do not lose faith. Keep your faith strong and claim His blessings! Tell Satan, "You don't win! I'm a child of THE King!"
I fail. Oh I fail daily, hourly- who am I kidding? I'm the greatest sinner thus I need Him even more. I try hard, I pick myself back up and I try, try again. I'm strong and I can take a lot... but then there comes an end to me... and it has to be ALL GOD.
I need to learn NOT to come to the end of me because I never need to go to *me* for any of this. I'm human. I can't determine anything...change anything...fix anything but a boo boo for my babies and some supper.... but my GOD - He can change EVERYTHING!
So if you are heavy burdened, or you need your Spirit lifted - go claim Psalms 91 over your life OUTLOUD and DAILY! Watch for God's hand in the SMALLEST, TINIEST of things and you will begin to see His hand in HUGE ways!!!! Please be encouraged.
My entire reason in posting this is for my children to one day read and be encouraged and for YOU -whoever GOD sends to read this to be ENCOURAGED IN HIM, IN YOUR FAITH IN HIM.
Go and get on your knees because THAT is where you WILL WIN the battle. Standing tall and strong on your own - you will fail EVERY time eventually. But on your knees, you cannot and I mean CANNOT fail. He won't let you fail. You, dear sister, are a CHILD OF THE KING and if you are not, please message me and let me tell you of His great love and forgiveness. I'm the worst of all sinners so do not be afraid to approach me with anything. It is GOD's place to judge, NOT MINE! Judge; lest you be judged in the same manner that you have judged. I will not bring that upon myself!
Be encouraged. Have FAITH in Jesus! Let your spirits be lifted high!!!!
