Life is good. God is better.

My life is a blessed life that is good and full of opportunity.

second, no...numerous chances. How do you feel about them? I can tell you, I love them! I serve a God of second chances and believe in them. Here is why - because, I certainly cannot judge the heart of another and, have learned from personal experience, that it really hurts when others misjudge mine. Especially, when I know that their mind and heart is fixed and there is not anything I can do to change it. I believe in people and that all of us can change for the better, so I look for that in a person. I count on it. I rejoice in that! Do I , will I make stupid mistakes? You bet! But, I will always look for the good in other human beings, to my own detriment. It is well worth the risk of being hurt - for me. Much easier and stressless to forgive and to love someone in spite of imperfections, because I do not know anyone else's heart. I would pray for the same kind of grace and forgiveness. Much love to each of you! God bless you! You are not alone. He is right there with you and you can tell Him anything. Guess what? He will love you all the same, unconditionally. Keep your peace and then, you will have JOY!

I have so much awesome news to share, however, now is not the time.

That sounds like a 'teaser,' I know! Soon, I will share.

But for now, pray for me and I will pray for all of you.

I still believe in the 'power of prayer.'

Looking forward the Celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! 

Know that you are loved and relevant!

Peace

It is almost 6:30 p.m., so I am about to head out to Olive Garden for a dinner date.

I am not even changing my clothes. It is cold and rainy. I have worn my outfit all day!

I really need a hair cut, my appointment is on the 15th of December. 

I will be spending Christmas with my siblings in Birmingham, Alabama. 

I spent this past weekend in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and did some Christmas shopping.

I have had so much to BLOG about, but I have not had much time to devote to my BLOG.

Life is good. God is better. 

Let me share this passage with you?

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:9-13
