Independence

It truly has been a long time. But I have been at a loss for words. Dad did pass away quite peacefully a couple of months ago. I just haven't been able to do my usual routine since then. I am thankful for his life & for his influence on my life. He was a good man & he was an encourager for me. I miss him a lot.

PTL, God doing great things in my life right now. I've been involved in a study of Charles Colson & Nancy Pearsey's book How Now Shall We Live. What an eye-opener it has been. Then the Lord brought Joel Osteen across my path. I'm still not sure how I feel about his book that I'm reading. It is all about being favored by God. The one thing that really bothers me about it all is that Mr. Osteen keeps saying I deserve to be favored by God. With that I disagree. It's not that I feel I'm not favored, but I don't deserve it. I understand it, especially through some of his illustrations. God loves me no matter what & he wants the best for me & has great plans for me. I want that too, but I don't deserve it. Like I said, great things are taking shape in my life. Pray for me that I will keep my heart & mind ever focused on God, that He will give me wisdom & discernment for His plans.

I will keep posting my progress & share with any of you readers how everything unfolds.
