Update and Prayer Request

Aren't these the two cutest things you have ever seen? The older one....well that is my heart beating in the flesh....my first grandchild. The curly haired darling is my caboose...my last grandchild and the only girl.....Nana's girl!

They have always lived about 15 minutes away from us....but they are moving...and my heart is breaking. On top of everything else I feel has hit me is the past couple of months...my grandchildren are moving about 50 miles away. Now I know that isn't much...but they will no longer be in our schools and was worse...no longer in my church..........It seems to be what is best for my daughter and her husband...but it doesn't feel like what is best for us!!!

I appreciate the notes of encouragement that have been left on my blog and I am struggling to get back on track............but I really, really, beg you to say a prayer for me.

I have been speaking healing and clarity of mind over my body and I am speaking abundance over my home and my finances and I am declaring the blood line to depression and symptoms.

I believe God....and I believe he wants us to have an abundant life...free of so many of these depilitating things.

I am also praying favor and protection over my grandchildren as they enter the new school year in a new school, leaving their friends behind. God has a purpose for their lives and I have to believe this is part of it...........especially my grandson as he has an anointing on his life that is so apparent right now. I continue to pray a hedge of protection over everything God has done in his life.

I have visited with a physician and have started some more natural approaches to some of the problems I am having with vitamins and minerals....one step at a time. I pray for normal again ...so I can get back to this blogging community that I love so much.

Thank you all for your "CONTINUED" prayers. I will be visiting some over the next few days. May your week be truly blessed.

Just a Note

It feels almost strange sitting down to this keyboard, but I am determined. The last couple of months have been very difficult...but I do believe the culprit is mostly the "M" word and yes it does feel like a curse.

Hot flashes were not much of a problem...inconvenient and uncomfortable but I felt like if that's it, I can handle this....and for about a year that was basically it.

And then......the mood swings and depression started to take hold. Those who know me will tell you.....I have never been a hateful person....nor a depressed person...but always happy, laughing and taking things in stride. It has taken a while to really accept that something was wrong....but its like I am in a fog much of the time.

I am doing my research now about what my choices are...........but what I know is that God has a purpose in everything and He already knows the outcome.

Today, I was singing a chorus that a friend of mine wrote several years ago and used to sing at church sometimes....it gives me great comfort and encouragement...so I will leave you with the words although I wish you could hear her playing and singing. Have a great worship day tomorrow! and please remember me when you talk to my Father!!

It's gonna be alright, it's gonna work out fine

With YOU by my side I won't ask why

If God is for me then who can be against me

No matter how I feel right now...It's gonna be alright

It may not look good now, and I can't tell you when or how

But He'll work it out for me

It's gonna be alright, it's gonna work out fine

With you by my side I won't ask why

If God is for me then who can be against me

No matter how I feel right now...It's gonna be alright.

It's gonna be alright

Be Blessed, Barbara

IN NEUTRAL AND NOT LOVING IT

I have long understood that we go thru seasons in life....seasons in God, and have been able to identify many of those seasons along the way. HOWEVER, I am finding myself in a season that is not clearly defined.....I am calling it .... NEUTRAL!!!

Somewhere between mid-life and Menopause...with life running on ahead of me....I feel like I am watching it go by..not really a participant but just observing. My mind is in some sort of neutral as well. I sit down to write and then wonder "what do I say".....now if you know me at all.....then you are probably thinking someone has crashed my site....because I always have too much to say about anything.

This morning Joel Osteen was preaching on tv while I was getting dressed and he said, "sometimes you need NOW faith.....sometimes you need to tell God....I need that blessing now and believe that it is possible"............

so.....as always.....Prayer changes things...and I am ready to move beyond this season, so I am calling any one who reads this to speak to the Father on my behalf....and say...put her in go GOD, put her in GO!! I am believing...He is more than able.
