Thankful Thursday

Good Morning!
Yes a "Good Morning"
I am celebrating this fresh day.
Last night I beaded and fell into a time of singing hymns! Yes! Me as deeply the pit consumed me found the rim and was lifted up to stand away from the edge.
Play had a lot to do with it.
Dash said to me last nigh..."Wow, Mom, you sound happy"...
"yes", I told him..."I feel happy"

Well it is & a.m. and I have made Beloveds lunch, started the washer (my maid) and also began the fest for my little Grateful Dash man. He comes into the kitchen and the first thing out of his mouth was. "I am so glad that I get to have to wonderful dogs, Mom"
He had asked last week for some sausage.
I got a smoken' deal on eggs too, so divine :) eggs and egg salad this weekend.

I opened up a couple of cans of pineapple juice also. Yum!

I remembered the little unit that sits upon my jewelers desk that is out in storage. I thought if I could reach it ....I got it set up. Having my craft back is really filling up my soul.

Here are a few of my creations. I have earrings to match laid out.
I LOVE the pink one. It is antique swavorski with raspberry quartz.
The yellow crystals are over 20 yrs old and then some. I got them as a broken necklace at an antique store years ago.

This is my Gratitude!~

Last night I sang while I beaded. This the first songs I have released for some time.
I found my son s hand on mine awaiting an interruption to speak. He did not talk over my praise just stood there with his hand on mine , this happened a few times.
While in the shower I heard a song.

"It's getting better all the time"

then...
another...

"Knock, knock, knocken' on heavens door...I'm knock, knock, knocken' on heavens door"

Then it occurred to me...

We have made a decision to sell this house and get out of debt!
I have had a battle with whether it is Gods will or not because it is just not selling yet...
Well It is My Dear Abba God who above all things gives me a free will.
We choose to get out of debt!
We choose to sell...
So just because it is not happening fast caused me doubt.
Just because it is hard (Oh yes very hard) thing to do. I wonder in the suffering if it is Gods will.
Well It is hard and I will have to just keep knockin' on heavens door!
I will just have to depend on Him...
For I do truly believe that it is Him who Gives us the desires of our hearts.
But...a big but... He did not say that we would be free of tribulations.
He did not say fighting the good fight would be easy...
He did not say it would be without suffering or struggle.
HE SAID "that He has overcome the world"
that "In Him we can do all things."
Knock knock knockin" on heavens door.
I will tell him my hearts desire and stop the double mindedness!
It is the double mindedness that is so crazy making.
It may take forever to sell ( I hope not :).
It may sell tomorrow, but! It is our decision to get free of debt. That includes a Mortgage!
Is it going to be easy...NO!
It is hard, It is sacrifice and it is work!
It is going to take time!

I am empowered today.
I am no longer wondering if it is Gods will or not.
I am walking in the direction the course we set.
As hard as it is that is what we as a team have set our mind too.
We hope that we can do this without loosing too much of our capital.
We will however gain our freedom.
I do not have to sell this house.
I have to trust God to honor our hearts desire.

So I awoke at 6 am ready to do what was required of me toward this end.
I saved $6 by making Beloveds lunch because it really matters.
I really matter.
What I offer matters!
Then I started the washer, made the breakfasts and put the clean dishes away.
Made the bed set the stage to have the house readied just encase...or better said for WHEN the next potential buyer shows up.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door .

"Make your request made known. Ask! I have not because I asked not or asked amiss.
Or it is just in the process.
A story in the O.T. talked about how the angles were sent out and had been battling for many days and finally the Arch Angle came and kicked some enemy butt!
Maybe thats what is happening here.:)
Whatever the case I can not change coarse just because it is hard.
I think I turned a corner!
