So....burnt....so glad to be Home!!!!

Well, my break was awesome. The kids and I did nothing but swim...swim...swim. Wow, being away from home, was so good. And it reminded me, that I am not a city girl. In fact, I hate city life with a passion. The peace, the quiet surrender, in the middle of no where, can't be described. The absolute freedom to be who you want to be. No gossip out in the middle of no where, ahh what a relief. It was a godly, moment in my life.

I loved it so much that I have decided to move my family away from the city life. From all those who have hurt me, and continue to. To get away and retreat into God's nature wow, can not see why no one else would.

Anyways, just a few things God showed me in the moments of silence I had.....

1) You can't build a fire with out wood..... meaning you can never build the flame after God if you allow people to stiffer it.

2) You have to be careful roasting marshmallows, because if they are not on the right way they will fall off. Meaning, that our walk with God has to be positioned in such a way so that God can actually work with us. Ever so gently turning us, so that he won't burn us. Positioning us over that refiners fire. Purifying us, making us clean and holy.......hummm

3) You need to take an flashlight when going to the outhouse in the middle of the night ( really gotta love that smell that outhouses admit). Must be that kinda stench when we sin....geesh who wants to smell that all the time, not me. As I learned this week off, that when one has to pee in the middle of the night, one really must take a light with them. Or they will stumble, fall for Satan's lies, believe that what others have to say is who one person is, or whatever. When we think we are in the light we really only have a flashlight shining down on where we think we are headed.

4) Always put bug spray on at night..... those little bugs bite, hard and leave a nasty itch. If we put God on he keeps all those nasty things from ever bothering us again. Backbiting won't hurt , gossip definitely won't affect you, others lying----won't get through . That itch that bothers us will soon go away, and we won't even remember what they where in the first place.


I am so glad I love to camp. I am so glad that God touched me in so many positive ways. This post may sound bitter, but it so is not...really. It is something that God is showing me, reveling to my heart, and it was such a good lesson. For so many years I followed after some certain women in the church I was going to. I so wanted to " fit in". But I got it all wrong I listen to them before I listened to God. They would say jump, and I would say, How High. Well, to find out later that these same women I so tried to impressed would sit around and gossip about me. How honestly devastating that was for me, so heart breaking really. But in away, it was the start of something that God would later reveal to me. It is not about others, goodness no my daughter, it is about me. If they choose to be like that, that is on them. If they choose to walk in sin, it is there sin....but there is something I need to work on in you. It is....
1) That God is God....no matter what that the creator of this world only wants me....that is right ladies I am God's favorite one....he told me so. His oppion matters only, His direction is the most important, and that means if someone says or does something or takes offense to something I have done, Oh well. It is making our relationship right first that matters mostly.

2) Believing without one single doubt that no matter how many times I " screw" up, He loves me anyways. He will never gossip, lie, backbite, cheat, belittle, abuse or neglect you. He will always love you, and he will never forsake you!


Oh ladies have so much more to say...so much more...but I have to clean and unpack...hehehehe.

P.S Please leave nice encouraging comments or don't leave any at all lol!( Sound like my mom, oh hey I am one.)
