Thinking about swimsuits and more important things....

already!~ Time to start eating healthier! I can't believe I am getting swimsuit catalogs this soon! Yikes!

And Em just said, "Mommy, I need to stop watching scary movies cuz I see scary faces sometimes."

I said, "You know what you need to do when you see them?"

She said, "What?"

I said, "Stop and pray and ask Jesus to help you not be afraid."

Then Reid chimed in, "No, I know what you need to do. Close your eyes and run towards them!"

Oh my, this is what I live with!

O.k...seriously, I do have more important things on my mind tonight..... I have been reading Beth Moore's book Get Out of that Pit. Susan got it for me for Christmas and I LOVE it. God has been teaching me so much lately. I think because I am learning to completely surrender and because of that, I am open to whatever God is trying to show me. I love my Lord. I trust Him. I know that He is always good....always. And everything He has ever allowed in my life has always been for greater gain for His kingdom. Beth writes in her book that we are far better healed, than we were before tragedies and trials entered our lives. We can look back and say, "what if all these things hadn't happened to me?" Or "what if I hadn't done that." But Satan is the master at getting us to ask "what if?" questions. He wants us to think we blew it in our past. But I know better. God is the God of second chances and He always takes and works all things for good according to His plans. I love Him so much and I am so thankful He never gives up on me!

And before I go....I keep thinking and praying about writing a book. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but I will pray about it before I take on that challenge. I know that it will only work when "God builds the house..." or I will labor in vain. But if I do, I will call it Looking for Love in all the Hard Places. More about that later.......
