Mom is at peace now
Hello there, The lord called momma home at 1204am on 71721 she ran to our Father's arms to meet my dad and many relatives/friends. The smile on her face when she left us was priceless.
After being at the hospital all day on Friday, I was leaving to come home at 1 am to make a 3 hr trip, one of my friends and family insisted I come by and try to sleep a little after just loosing mom and then trying to drive. I am very appreciative even now. My Mother in law has been with me this week so that if mom passed in the night I would not be here alone any time is hard loosing a loved one its just been too soon since Gator to be alone.
I get home yesterday am 10ish to find my mil had fallen during the night and broke her hip, sitting here all alone the pain and fear I can't even imagine. Called 911 then spent the rest of day in Joplin at the hospital please pray for her and her kids. As, this next journey in her life at 79 is going to be tough.
If I am away for a little bit please do not worry I will update as I can. love to all and be blessed
ALWAYS TELL YOUR LOVED ONES>>>>THAT YOU LOVE THEM as tomorrow is never promised

Mom update prayers please
hello there my bloggie friends. I am so thankful for each and every one of you.
I am sorry there has been a whole lot of life thrown at me over the last last couple of months
Mom is now very critical, her kidneys have started the shut down phase, I was able to go and spend all day with her on Monday, the swelling from water retention is horrible, she is needing dialysis however due to her health she isn't a candidate as it would do more harm than good and she is now only on soft foods, (jello, pudding, applesauce etc) please pray for comfort for her.
Also, today would have been Gator and mine 3rd anniversary, I am just a basket of emotions right now. I have had to say several times today...>Lord keep your hand on my shoulder and the other hand over my mouth.
Then to top it off I made a post on MY facebook page asking my friends to pray for comfort for my mom since her kidneys are starting to fail (see above) my brother tells me to take my post on momma down as everybody doesn't need to know what is going on....again it is my page. I happen to have friends and family who actually care, most who have known my mom since I was a kid. So now it is wrong for me to ask for prayer and support .....apparently so. So to keep peace I took the post down. Satan is coming at me in all directions and is getting to where it is no longer funny.
Satan, you have no room in my life or my families life. I demand thru Jesus stripes that you have no power over me, and you are no longer welcome in or around me....Get the behind me in JESUS NAME

Today our sermon at church was over holiness and being truly devoted to God
Our country is divided into 2 parts Sacred and Secular the sacred includes Church, Mission Trips, Bible Study, VBS, Small Group, Praise and worship Secular includes Sports, shopping, taking a cart to the place, driving (anything our of church basically fits into this group. Some people think that God doesn't care about secular, sure he does he wants us to be like him in everything we do. Everything we do and say is a reflection on our relationship with Jesus.
Holiness is very hard
Here are some scriptures given James 5:15-18, 1Peter 3:7, Leviticus 20:26, Leviticus 19:2 1Peter 1:15-19, Matthew 5:48, Ecclesiastes 12:13 the posted scriptures below are from the NIV
