Saturday I had surgery to remonve a cyst and the ovary had to be taken to. I had to spend the night in the hospital and I had a lot of time on my hands to think. I should stop and thank God for my health more often because you never know when a health problem is going to crop up on you. And having the surgery helped my put things in the proper perspective. I have to go deeper into my personal relationship with Jesus and I want to lead a more positive lifestyle.

Yesterday I turned 37. I got alot of nice cards and stuff. But the best thing I did on my birthday was look at the blue sky and made a wish.
I just sat there on the porch watching the clouds go by. It was very relaxing.

I also made a few decisions. I decided to totally forget about my past and to start my life over again. Not many people get the chance to clean the slate and start again. I have the chance to get rid of the things that were making me miserable and concentrate and things tht will bring peace and happiness to my corner of the world

A peaceful feeling has swept over me and I am no longer afraid of my past mistakes and of my future plans. I feel better than I have in weeks.

I took my troubles to the Lord and he set me free.

And now I feel at peace with him and with myself.
That's a real good feeling because for so long I had blamed myself for past mistakes. I can't fix them and I know that God forgives me and his forgiveness is constant every time I go to him.

Today, I am happy because I have Jesus in my heart. Lately. I have been thinking about things and I am trying to re-evaluate my life and what is important to me. I am going through a rough time right now and I have alot of decisions to make but I know I won't be making them alone because I have Jesus helping me every step of the way and that is why I am happy today.

Have you ever had one of those days where you can't seem to win. It's been like that today.
I was trying to have a nice peaceful day but no such luck. It's been crazy at my house. We have a few house guests staying with us for a while and things are getting crowded and hectic.
So I duck in my room for some quiet time.

I spent all afternoon chasing their dog that got loose and no one else was there to help me catch her so I had to chase her for three blocks.

When I got her back I don't know who was more exhausted the dog or I.

So Now I just ate some pizza and I am ready to settle in for the night. I'm hoping tomorrow turns out better.

Thank you Jesus for helping me catch that dog.

I'm wide awake this morning and I am getting it together. I want to thank God for such mornings when I can slow down a bit before I rush off to my busy day.

Lately I have been thinking about my spiritual life and what it means to have life in the Spirit.
I am trying to bring more peace and contentment into my life but sometimes it's hard and things get choatic. Those are the times when I really need to connect with my creator.

It's been a long day but I am finally winding down.
I just got home from church and things have been busy for me today.

So I am just relaxing and taking it easy.
My women's group at church were discussing what they think heaven will be like and we all got to express our views on what heaven would be like.

I thought it was very interesting. I like the group. I can't wait until get get our new study books. I am really excited.

Thank God for forgiveness because I really need this week. I've had a really hectic week so far and I haven't really spent the quality time with God I usually do and I have been kind cranky lately so I'm glad there is forgiveness with God and I thank him for it everyday. Then all I have to do is pray and see that he gets me through another week.

Today is a day of new beginnings. I am beginning again. I am leaving my past mistakes and regets behind and moving on with God.

I need some extra prayer time as I go through this transition. Because I am waiting to hear from the Lord concerning my new life. I already know I have new life in Christ but I also want his
attention on the everyday things as well.
