God answered my prayers, from around my last blog post. My husband now understands me more and I understand him more and what he needs better than before. I pray I will always look to be a better wife and better mom and a better Christian...always!
I went ahead and registered in faith for the summer family bible conference in Colorado Springs, CO, July 4th week. I do not know how we will pay for it, but I know God wants us to go and will make a way for it to happen! God is just so awesome!
We are about to start a study group that a local man is starting a couple of towns over. It is all on Mr.
Wommack's teachings and I am so grateful to have some like minded people near us! Praise the Lord±! ± My control key is sticking when I± use the shift key...lol...sorry.
Oh, with God blessing us with our new old car, I had an older woman and husband looking at it in the parking lot of a grocery store a couple of days ago. I told them about how ±God blessed us with the car and she told me to, 'not loose that blessing'. ±She was telling me to not forget, to remind myself how blessed I am with our Lord ±God±! ±Amazing! She is right! May I never take for granted all that you have blessed me with oh Lord!
Please God, tell me what your will is for my life. I really want to make sure ±I am doing what you want me to do, and not my own will....only yours Lord! Thank you Lord! I love you!
±I am so excited to go to ±Colorado!± I know it will be so much fun and a true family memory of a lifetime...it will be pivotal in our walk with ±God and our family's future. Now to pick out a hotel.

It has been difficult...
I have not been the nicest person lately to my spouse. I have done really well, all around. But today I was nit picky and critical. The only things are that I have been sleep deprived lately more than normal. My son was sick a couple of weeks ago, he had a fever for 4.5 days. Then this past week my daughter has been in her room with hand foot and mouth disease. My son had a fever again yesterday. But, praise God he was healed and is doing much better today. He is just teething, it seems, and is needy. But no fever. But he did get me up at 3am. I had had a good dream that I want to share, but at the moment am unable to write it down due to memory lapse.
I tried to nap with my son last evening, but my husband woke me to ask if I needed anything. I did not get upset, I just went upstairs to bed. Today, I was going to fall asleep on the couch with my son, but did not want a repeat of yesterday, so I told my husband I was going to go upstairs to sleep with our son. My husband came up less than five minutes later, I just had our son to sleep, and woke him up, to ask where I put the cayenne pepper. I was so frustrated and tired. I kept telling him how frustrated I was, and how I just wanted to sleep, and that if he did not want to cook, he should have just told me, he did not have to wake him up. I feel hubby is being passive aggressive. Two days in a row he has woken me up when he knows I am not getting good sleep. Hubby has not let me sleep in. I have had to get up and cook every day, even though he is off in the mornings lately. My daughter is out of school. So I do not have to get up for her, but he won't help and let me catch up on my sleep.
And then he seems so shocked that I am being snippy and impatient with him. Well, I wonder why? Men always get to sleep. Women get short changed on our sleep so much. And they blame pms for our moods. No, it is I have kids and you won't get your butt out of bed once or three times a week and let me sleep in, without pissing the kids off so they cry and wake me up 30 minutes later. Arghie argh.
Lord help me. I am doing my best right now to not disrespect my husband. But when he is not honoring and loving me, and I am tired and drained, it is harder than normal to be kind and sweet. I want to. He kept running his mouth and I did manage to walk over and when he was telling me to slap him, I just kissed him and said God loves you.
Lord guide my husband to do what is best for our family Lord. Because he is thinking of taking a promotion that will keep him away from home even longer. He already is gone almost 11 hours. He is only awake maybe 5 hours at best, at home with us. He only gets one mean with his family a day. He does not get time with me much anymore. It can make you think you are second to his job, when they won't ever take a sick day to take care of you, and they are considering spending even more time at work. Money is not worth all of that.
*I had had a vision a while back that my hubby would get promoted. I told him that things were going to be changing at his job soon. That was a short time ago. Pretty amazing that it came to pass like that. There is a big shift going on in the building where he works.
Lord, help my husband see the priorities as you see them for his life. I pray that he will open his heart to your will for his life and his job life. I pray that he will be open to understanding how women are different in a good way from men and that you my Father made us to be that way! I pray that he will follow your will and guidance and will do what is best for all of us, and not for his 'security blanket'. That he will trust YOU for our money and not his own ability.
Lord help me to focus on you when I get run down. Help me to see the silver lining, the golden egg, the light in the darkness. Help me to be more appreciative and less critical. Help me to thank you most of all! Help me to focus on your love for me and how much you love me and accept me! Even when I do not feel valued or appreciated at home, thank you for showing me how much you appreciate me! Keep showing me what to do with my life Lord. Show me how to be a better mother to my children and a better wife to my husband. Thank you Lord.

Dream About Martha Stewart
I had an interesting dream about Martha Stewart the other night. Before I went to bed I had verses that dealt with prophecy and visions at night again. So I was prepared for something to come to me.
In the dream the woman did not look like Martha Stewart in person. She seemed different, her face was different. In the dream that was accounted to makeup and wardrobe and moods. But this woman had hair a little bit longer than Martha's and it had a little wave to it. Her face was a little more longer and free from makeup. I asked her some questions...it was like I was interviewing her for something. We were in a building, on a higher floor, with windows behind her. It went well. She was nice to me.
Then I was traveling, trying to get to meet her again. There were all of these obstacles in the roadway. Construction around the corner. Things like that around this town. So, I was hurrying to get there. It was dark when I got there. It seemed like I was late. I do not know if it was her I met when I got out of the vehicle, it was a woman. And we spoke briefly.
I have been asking God to reveal to me what He wants me to do in my life. I do not want to be lukewarm, comfortable, and 'safe' with everything I do. I want to do His will for my life. Be that bible college, moving, missions, staying home and helping others here, or moving somewhere and helping there. I want to know what and where and when God wants me to do things! I am yearning to know that.
In regards to that God usually uses people in a fashion that they are not naturally good at. Like if you are good at singing, He will use you to do something else, so that God gets all of the credit, and not yourself. So, I have been wondering if my baking has anything to do with God's will for my life, at all? Also, I do the baking for the homeless lunch on Friday at a local church. Last Thursday I had this dream and then the following morning I rushed to get the dessert done in time, only to find that the lady that helps her husband run it had the flu and was not going to stay home, even though she had been to the E.R. the day before this! I told her of the complications and how she could easily spread it to the homeless, but she did not care about that, she had to give her bible study. That bothered me. I knew I would not get sick, but I did not know if the homeless men had the same belief in God that would protect them like mine has. Then my son kept waking up from his nap needing me, so I was unable to bring the dessert to the lunch. It turned out only 5 guys showed up, but still. I wonder if the dream was about that, as well.

Dream about my daughter
I had a dream this morning about my daughter. She had cut things out of some old books I had. They were 1950's era magazines/soft bound type books. She had cut out different women in their retro outfits. I could see through the magazines there were so many cut out. I was upset about what she had done, but I do not remember going ape about it in the dream. That was a thing to remember. There were two of these books, too.
In day time my dad had told me he has some 1906 and '07 magazines for me. 2 to be exact that he is going to mail to me when he gets the money. So, some could be a reference to that. I think it could also be a reference to my daughter seeking what kind of woman she wants to be and trying out different models.
Today was the first day, thank my God, that my daughter did not get really upset with me in the morning! It was so awesome to have her go to school in a good mood with me, for a blessed change! Thank you God for a wonderful start of a new day! I made sure when I picked her up to let her know how much it meant to me that she had behaved SO well!
The Holy Spirit is telling me the real things that are bothering my daughter, too, now. For instance, when she went to go look at the lunch menu for school and decide if she wanted it or to make her lunch, she chose the school lunch. God told me that she just didn't' want to make it herself. So, I asked her, and she admitted she just didn't want to make it herself. I told her I would help her in the morning and that a little effort is worth her good health, that she is worth the effort. Which she is. Those school lunches are awful when it comes to the processed meat that the federal government calls food. That is not real meat and I don't like her eating that junk. Thank you Lord for making sure we have healthy meat to eat at home, at the very least!
God is so awesome!
Take the LIMITS OFF OF GOD!
I strongly recommend you to watch Mr. Wommack's teachings on Don't Limit God times 10! It is powerful...I cried today, it is that good. If you come across this post after this week, then look it up in his archive. It is all free. We love that about him! http://www.awmi.net/tv/this_week

The Fury!
This is my early mother's day gift. It really is a blessing from God, I give him all of the credit for giving us the blessed car! We were really in need of a new vehicle. My husband's car to drive to work in had been on it's last leg and my car was just too small for our growing family!
This is a 1966 Plymouth Fury III. It had only 93k miles original when we bought it. It has a completely original interior in immaculate condition! It has spent it's entire life in this city that we live in!
The original owner bought the car for his wife. When she passed he put it in the garage until he died 20 years later. His neighbor bought the car and owned it for 2 years...a wonderful Christian man who loves helping the homeless and even has a clothes closet in his home! Him and his wife do their laundry, feed them, and have some that even call and come by when they are on the rails in town! Great people who love to serve others! I was so glad to meet them.
They sold it to us at a wonderful price that was such a blessing because we did not want to go against God's Word and get way into debt again. We were able to secure a very small loan and yet have a safe beautiful dream car to drive around in every day! Yes this is my daily driver!
God is so awesome! We had been praying and waiting to find the right car for a year or more! God is so right on time, too!
I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband who gave me this blessed car and took the one I used to drive as his own! What husband's let their wives have the best car anymore? Mine does!

What every married couple needs to know to have a healthy marriage
This is a wonderful video and really shows what the basics in a marriage boil down to. This has really shown my husband and I what the Bible says about marriage and what we had been trying to tell each other all along but did not get it out right!
This came at the best time for us in our marriage! God really blessed us by showing us this. I had been almost begging God to show me what to do differently and how to honor and respect my husband because I had no idea how to do that. This is all about the key to your spouse's heart using God's way.

Pecans just in God's time
Well, the pecans came in one week's time, like God said.
We usually have only about this amount, give or take, from an outing of collecting nuts.
But Wednesday we got over twice that amount, and yesterday we got this much!
Praise God! We are so tickled to get a bunch of pecans this year. There is no shame in trusting God for small things! I am very thankful that the dream came true!
I am trusting God for new windows for our home. The ones we have are not very safe. The tops will fall down and have slammed on our hands before. They have old paint on them, possibly lead paint, and some are rotting. What normally happens with 60 year old windows...lol. I have placed post it notes on various windows thanking God for giving us new windows. In the verses on that page He led me to earlier, page 327, there is a verse that talks about His making your windows out of agates. Isaiah 54:12
