Hum de dum...

I have a bit of a disclaimer for this posting. I started this last Wednesday and just hadn't gotten back around to working on it. I am a bit frustrated because I am having a lot of issues with writers block. I really enjoy writing, but I feel like I have so many different things to write about that they all just jumble together and make me draw huge blanks. I want to post some pictures really bad but I will be honest and say I just don't want to drag out my laptop to take them off of my camera to then put them on a CD to then take that some place that has the internet and up-load them. Am I just lazy? Hmm... I am not going to answer that one! :)

Anyways... here's the post:

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17 ESV

I am not sure what to post today. I have Jackson’s birthday “stuff” that I need to catch you up on, but I will have to do that this weekend. I have his birthday letter and his birthday picture and pictures from his party.

So, to maybe prompt some thought, I went to verseoftheday.com and James 1:17 is what I found. Recently, I have realized that a lot of my conversations and thoughts have really centered on God’s timing. So often when we want something or think that we NEED something, we rush to God and expect him to jump. Now. That is just not the case. I have been praying hard a lot about settling down and allowing God to help me understand that I AM NOT in control.

Currently, Wayne and I are doing a Crown Ministries Financial Bible Study. I have mentioned many times before about us trying to get our finances in order. This bible study has really shed some light on what God says about our finances. Did you know there are OVER 2,000 verses about finances and money? Apparently God really though this was a huge topic that really needed a lot of clarification! And boy do I need it! However, not only do I need it, I need to heed to it!! It's not going to matter if I just know what the Bible says, I need to practice it.

I know that God will get us through this time of struggle with our finances. I also believe that he will bless us along the way for taking the extra effort to get ourselves out of this mess. Oh, I just can't wait to finish with all this!

So, can you tell what is on my brain non-stop these days? If not, reference the last 2 postings as well as this one...
