Thanksgiving

it should be Thanksgiving everyday....and if you walk the walk of a Christian and follow the path of Jesus, it is full of Thanksgiving.
we sit here and moan about not selling the house yet...but as we look back, we see that each day is an opportunity to really get ready/be ready for when the Lord moves.  There is always something to be packing up/going through/donating/yard selling/etc....and this time has really given us time to think about where/how our future can be...and do we want to drag some of this stuff with us...NO!  It's a new life in the ever-renewing walk with God.
This purging is not only of physical items, but also spiritual baggage.  Those little voices that have no business being in your mind.  With daily repentance for things brought to mind, a cleansing is taking place...the more room there is for the Lord to fill with His Everlasting Love and Grace.
While writing today, I have Vicki Yohe, 'I Just Want You' album playing.  Amazing, every song has a place in my heart....
Nobody knows me better than You....Nobody loves me more!  Yes, Lord!
The day has brought in several orders...the Lord is hearing our prayers about increasing our territory, prosper our efforts....off to make products...
Amen

Validation!

A friend posted on her FB page the following:

"There comes a moment when you must decide that you are going to believe in yourself.  There is nothing more validating than belief in yourself and your abilities.  If you believe you have the power, the power is yours."

Amen and Amen!
I've come to this realization this year for myself also!  I know that whatever I set my mind to do, I've always been able to do.
This past year has been a growing year for me...in my relationship with the Lord God, my Father. and coming into the knowledge and understanding of His Love for me...a Perfect Love.
Now learning to live in contentment whether in plenty or in lacking.
Thanking God for learning the value of life and having patience with us simple humans!
It is now almost a year since we felt the unction that it was time for us to make a move and open a store for the God-anointed skincare line we have.
In that year, we have learned alot about our walk with the Lord and learning more everyday to live with/by FAITH!
His Blessings have been pouring out to us, and we know it is in preparation for making this move, or else why is there a utility trailer and a motor home in our yard...getting packed and ready to move.
Amen!

A Chill in the Air...

It is forecast to be in the 50's tomorrow, after being in the upper 70's today...with a further cool down, freezing at night.
Today was another day of work, with a little house maintenance in the middle.  we had noticed that the water pressure was wavering for a few days, which was not normal.  this morning's shower was getting weaker and weaker, so we checked...the bladder tank apparently had finished its' life.  It had been a good life, being in use for 20 years...almost to the day!
just another house item that has been repaired/replaced since we decided that we were to make a move.  Now the new owners will not have to wonder about the water pump, the bladder tank or the A/C unit.
Call today from an interested party, one of their questions...how flexible are you about moving?...we are ready...and can be out in 2-3 weeks if needed.
that's a nice thing to be....practically ready!
Guess we'll have a good discussion tomorrow about moving and all the options available.  do we go ahead and rent a storage unit and move some of the 'store' stuff...move whatever we can get the Tahoe and the Van to hold in one trip...
is that the reason we haven't sold the van yet?  is it to help us get the first leg of the move completed?
The latest discussion about the move....setting priorities....with the motor home, we have a place to live in the short term...maybe the first action should be set up a booth at a local flea market to sell the products, along with looking a small commercial site for setting up a lab.  while looking around for a house....
We pray...discuss....pray...mediate on it...pray...discuss.  Waiting on that Perfect Will of God, our Father.
Amen!

a couple weeks, a couple changes

did the trip to NMB, SC...found several possibilities for a new home and a couple places for business opportunities.  came home to several calls about the house.
Now we are waiting upon the Lord.  In our conversations and meditations with each other and with God, we know to have patience, all works for the Glory of God.
As the movie title says....The Good, The Bad and The Ugly....
there is the Wills of God
Good
Acceptable
Perfect
If patience/prayer/meditation are the course, then waiting for the Perfect Will of God is what will bring the best praise for God and the best blessing for us, then by all means wait on the Lord.
as our conversations go, DH and I know that MB, SC is where we are to go, but the timing of the move is in His Hands.
DH tells of times that he knew the direction God was sending him in...he ventured out on his journey, and then got excited/distracted and traveled further than he should have.  And when pausing to ask God, 'where are you, you sent me this way?'...and God responds.."I know, I sent you this way, but not this far, you got ahead of me and are now lost in the way, WAIT for me, and We will take this journey together and I'll show/give you sights as never before.
Amen...
