Have you ever woke up praying at the top of your lungs? I woke myself up last night praying at the top of my lungs for someone that I love. I was asking God to bind Satan from trying to influence their life and tear down their faith. It was almost scary. But one of my prayers was fulfilled in that. I want to have God such a huge part of my life, that even when my conscious thought is cut off, He is there in my mind and heart and thoughts. I don't want to serve God just half-hearted. This is going to be all or nothing. I can't only give part of myself. I want to be completely obedient, and I want to be punished when I am not. (Hebrews says that God punishes those He loves.) And I want to live in a state of constant, perpetual prayer.
Hubby is sleeping in front of me. I married a very handsome man...who is also a very hardworker and a wonderful father...I am a pretty lucky girl. I need to wake him up so that he can go to bed, but I feel bad to wake him even for that.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving...or today, rather. Only the second Turkey Day spent with Hubby and the first spent with my little boy. Tomorrow is a big day. Hey...It's the first T-Day in 4 years that I haven't done some kind of work. Last year I worked the finish line at a race. The year before I worked all day at CVS. And the two years before that, I worked at the Cancer Center. Hospital food is pretty yucky...and especially on Turkey Day. And especially for a vegetarian. Thank goodness for Mama's cooking.
Can you always be polite and still preach the message of God? Jonah was anything but nice and polite to the Assyrians in Ninevah. He told them that they were going to be destroyed. They decided to change their ways so that God would take compassion and mercy on them. I don't know if it would have worked if Jonah had sugar-coated his message. But then again...I don't think that it was anything that Jonah did...I think that God used Jonah to speak to people...But I can relate to Jonah. I would have had a hard time preaching to the Assyrians...especially if I had claimed fame by prophesying against them. Jonah is a deep book. It really amazes me how a story that I have heard from infancy can still be teaching me new things even now. Praise God.
I just want to be a sheep...Baaaa Baaa Baaa. I just want to be a sheep...Baaa Baaa Baaa...
Pray the Lord my soul to keep. I just want to be a sheep.

I just have to make one small comment about Turkey day.... 'Thank goodness for mom's cooking', well what about DAD's cooking too??? I helped!!! Your poor old crippled, dad was there too slaving away over a hot stove to make you a turkey meal, then, the dishes were washes, and put away, by who??? yep... poor old dad... the 'forgotten' one behind the scenes....but that's ok...I'm glad you enjoyed it... my payment was that I got to spend some time with Micky....Love you Googies!!!!! :)
I hire illegals to do my cooking on Thanksgiving. Its amazing how you can take the day off and watch the parade and some football and these illegals will cook everything for like $2.
Amazing.
