BLESSED

I can only say tonight that I am so very blessed! Blessed to have three beautiful children. Blessed to have a wonderful family that loves me. Blessed to have a church with wonderful people that really care about me. But most importantly I am blessed because I have a God who loves me, and will always be by my side no matter what happens in life.

A few weeks ago,  I had an opportunity to go to a ladies retreat. After we were all done with the retreat a few ladies went to lunch and Kimberly (Pastor's Wife) asked each one of us if we could share something that we learned from the retreat! I thought to myself, I do not have anything to share, I listened, heard what they said, but I didnt get anything out of it. Sorta chuckled and said to myself I am not saying anything. I remember her saying God is helping you sort it out what you  have heard. Then we all got in front of the church, and I still did not share anything. But the truth is God is working on my heart from that awesome weekend, I learned that I had to be commited to God's word! Commited so that I can help my children to be commited. I am not a big reader, and It is not something that I really do alot of! But is something I need to do. So I have started reading out of Genesis to the girls and for myself. That might not be the perfect part for me to start out at, however, i have always wanted to read the Bible from beginning to the end. SO that is why I have decieded to start there. But tonight at church, God must have been trying to get my attention again, because Pastor Jim made a comment at the end of the night, that to be a part of God, you have to read his word. And how so many people just do not understand how important it really is. (He said something like that). Read, Read Read your Bible it is so important!
