One of my lovely friends, Debbie H and I have agreed that she needs a cool name for her blog spot. (For example, mine is Teensy Tidbits- "Teensy" is a nickname that people call me) She suggested that we ask you all out there for your input. Okay, it has to be an interesting, clean, strong and bold, yet cool.
Give me your ideas.

What a Beautiful Day!!!*
Today, I slept in, because I felt like it and because I took a muscle relaxer yesterday so I had no choice...LOL... Then I went outside to do some tasks that I had been putting off; it was such a gorgeous day...I couldn't get enough of it...So I went out in my patio and just closed my eyes and let the wind dress my hair.
I felt God's love so strong as I repeatedly took a deep breath of fresh air, and then exhaled while enjoying the warmth against my face. It was one of those days that I dream about.
Thank you God for this moment, this beautiful, silent moment that I needed; where the sun wasn't beating against the day, the earth was silent, and everything seemed so pure and peaceful...

Rest In God's Arms*
Yesterday, I woke up with one of those migraines that feels like your head is going to explode. I was debating if I should make plans to go to a sweet lady's funeral for the next day, but the more my friend and I talked about it, I realized I needed to care of my health and rest. So I took a half of a muscle relaxer just to relax the tension in my body and head. Boy, I slept good, but then after 12 hours in bed, I thought I might get up to eat, but every time I looked at the ceiling it was crawling and making strange designs due to the migraine I had. It looked like the ceiling was trying to tell me something. I covered my head and layed back in bed as I prayed and actually thanked God that my head didn't feel like it would explode.
Sometimes we want to do things that we aren't able to do because there are those times in our life where we just need to rest and pray and that is OKAY. I want to get better so I am able to go to church on Sunday... I noticed that the last month, the more I take care of myself and force myself to rest, the more I am able to go to the place I love, my church.
We had a guest speaker this Sunday. He spoke about moving forward and doing things that seem impossible, but to God they are possible. He even said that if God can take care of Moses and his people, then he can take care of our North Hills (my church). {Remember God led Moses and maybe a million people out of Egypt. They even crossed the impossible, the Red Sea, or was it a lake, or was it the dead sea. Oh, I don't know it was bigger than the toilet and smaller than the ocean. No, I know it wasn't the dead sea.- Sorry, my headache is in the way of my thought process.} Well they crossed it while soldiers were trying to attack them and make them come back...funny thing is, the soldiers ended up drowning and dying in the sea... while the tons of people crossed it in ONE day. That was a miracle in God's plan. God wanted the Israelites to go through trials so that God would show more of Himself, His Love, His protection, His Plan...then he would help his people out of Egypt. Anyway, they crossed the impossible.
Things to remember from the sermon:
1) God chooses us to walk through trials, not around them, to help us out of the trial.
2) God is in control of everything.
3) Satan is always there to deter you and your thoughts away from God. He will make you think God doesn't care about you or where you are at.
4) God can deliver us in a moment's notice.
You may feel down, blue, depressed, lonely, unloved, unhealthy, unrestful, sick, unhappy, frustrated, weak, etc...
God is hear to say:
1) I will give you rest
2) I love you
3) I will correct your steps
4) You can do all things through Christ
5) I haven't given you fear, but of a sound mind.
(these were my notes taken from the sermon)

My Friends, Thank you*
I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have supported me by encouraging phone calls, hanging out, a big smile, known or silent prayers, emails, or even just a pat on the back ... I really appreciate it. Life is just a little more easier when you have good friends and family.
There are times that I do have my physical bad days, and thankfully lately I have been having good days. Maybe it's because I know have a tangible hope about my health insurance miracle I had last week regarding my jaw. I have an appt next month with a great jaw specialist and I am so grateful.
I have been in awe of God and the whole situation that lately I have actually been speechless. Which, in itself, is a miracle. LOL. Just this last 9 days, I have seen over six answers to my prayers lately. Those prayers weren't for me, but some friends I have. I can honestly say that I have had some really good "GOD" times this year... I look forward to a brighter future...
Thanks again and God bless ya
