So hard to Blog:( where does my time go?

‎

I love blogging, but I am out of the daily habit of blogging and it is hard for me to take the time to blog right now:(( Since my last blog, have sold some home's and closed on my big one:)  Thank you for  prayers, it was a battle that belonged to the Lord all the way to the end! I do not say that lightly, the home had a squatter in it, and attorney who was down on his luck and his family had moved into one half of it, keep in mind this is a Million Dollar home, the owner did not want them there, but her grandson let them move in, this attorney sent me the longest, ugliest, unloved letter, even bet his paycheck I have never opened a Bible:) You will be proud of me, I chose not to respond, but ask the Lord to defend me, he even gave me deadlines to meet or he would not get out, believe me I thought who does he think he is????? but for once did not react to his demands or his demeanor, which was far from professional. I had pressure from everyone to act on what he said so the deal would close, but I knew I could not respond and I did not:) It felt good to just give it up and if God did it fine and if He did not then that was fine too, but I really could use the commission:) God came through, it did close:) I know I have never been called all what he called me, but I will continue to let God handle that:) The market has been real busy, I have closed over a Million in August, in which I needed. I am below my normal production this time of the year, way below, so keep praying.             I had a few days with my girl friends, Old pic, Edwanda was not with us, I really enjoyed my time with them. Pam's husband was on a mission trip and Dinah took off work, Sherry was off, we just ate, did I say ate??? and laughed and talked, shared our hearts with each other, a great girl friend time:) Came home to a wonderful weekend,off I was relaxed, that helps, I am so high strung, when work is so busy it is hard for me to relax, people will never know how stressful Real estate can be, until you do it, thankfully I have Steve who can pick up my work so we never miss a beat. Sean had Anna and Cole ready to go to a Rodeo, Anna getting ready fro Deer season.  Today I had the pleasure of having Children's Church at Journey, it was fun, Cole in his hat  Watching Video on Queen Ester, Amelia and he baby we worshiped with a DVD of Kids Worship, it is neat how children express them self, so free! Then we ate lunch at Moe's, then went to swim, fun day, Sean and his family came and Sherry came, Alicia and her family had ball games, in which Steve went to one, I had Jared's girls so he and Jenn could go out on a date, Sean had taken Anna home by then so he and Cole and all the girls and I watched a movie:)
Mother is holding her on, Connie and Mama and Roy will come around the 9th:))) so excited to have them here again:) love seeing them so much. Keep Connie in your prayers with the loss of her husband Jack this has been a difficult time for her;(
Have so much work to do tomorrow, then Tuesday going to be in a Motivational Seminar that is here in Little Rock all day, work Wednesday and open house at Fairfield Bay on Friday, I should say condo:) Hannah and her family and Sean will be at condo for Labor Day, pray I sell the condo I have listed there:) SO a full, full week! hugs and nite

Vacation

We left Thursday night with the McGill's and stopped in Southaven, Ms. and got Regina and came to PCB Florida, we go on a family trip every year, one day I pray all my babies and their babies will get to come too  Alicia and her family and Alex and his family came Friday and Saturday.  We have made some fun memories First was when I got up early, Hannah had gone to Wal-Mart and I was going out front to see out front and my toe hung on a frayed edge of the door mat, I fell and just had to sit there till she got back, first cried then thought well I guess I can spend this time praying my knee, my hands, forgot the sting of a fallcan’t show my hipwould you believe they never came and changed this out, knowing I had fallen on it!  They said they had trimmed it the day before both edges are frayed real bad! we celebrated Steve’s Birthday, on the 6th.  we have been to some neat places to eat Steve went on a fishing trip for his birthday with some of his boysthe Captain said with that catch, someone was living right, they all looked at AlexWe had them packed and cut so we can bring them home Some good eating yesterday we rented platoons and went out snorkeling, it was to murky of water for me, but everyone had a great time and found many sea creatures:0 we ended the night with adult dinner out, at Pineapple Willy’s  Marks’ beautiful mother Regina, my friend Had A beautiful sunset, which to me shows the beauty of God and the storms of this life, Sun always shines through dark times. My Aunt Connie, my mother's sister husband died in a tragic accident Tuesday night late, I was so over whelmed with what to do, I wanted to go to Louisiana but not sure how.  We drove with two of Hannah’s children, she had two, so we can not leave without them and I could not do a funeral with them. The visitation is today and funeral is in the morning, in talking to Connie I knew she had family all around her and decided to stay here, but it is so hard, knowing what she is going through and me be here. Kay is in Arkansas and needs to be there for mother since I am out of state so she has been sick over it all, I have finally found me some peace on it, this helped days on the beachMark and HannahBuilding a sand castleOliviabeach picnic, looks like the sea gulls swarmingMark and ReginaBaby Luke, loved it, not hot and cool breeze.beach days always end in the pool loving it and so thankful for my sweet family…….wish all was here with me

Roommates or married?

This morning I awoke and felt I needed to read Ecc. 3, so I did.  Steve and I will be married for forty years this next anniversary and we have been meeting with Pastor Marvin Barham to work on a defects in our marriage, now you would think after forty years you would have worked them out but, oh no, God keeps sharpening us with each other.  I will always be working on my marriage to be the helpmate I am to be, it is so easy for me to be selfish, Steve makes it easy for me, he caters to me and when he doesn’t I do not understand why

In our marriage we have been though just about every road block for a marriage I can think of and have always worked it out, this morning the scripture spoke to me, Ecc. 3:12,  “ though one maybe overpowered by another, two can withstand him. “

Now in our marriage at times it seems like were just good ole roommates and best friends, sometimes feels like we are on different highways, I am always looking for the road sign to make sure I am on the right road.  I love Steve with all my heart and soul, but he can really drive me crazy at the same time.  There are times I think, I just need to get away, we are together all the time, there are times he needs to get away from me:0   This scripture spoke so clear to me, when we are on different roads, or just roommates then we are not one. we will not with stand the darts of the enemy who is seeking to kill, steal and destroy marriages.  As soon I/ you see this in your marriage, go back to you mate, pray together, be together intimately, make time for just you and your spouse so you can complete each other, pray over each other, SO you can withstand the fiery darts against your marriage!  I wish I would of learned this at a younger age, but its today God showed it to me, I know I needed to hear it and wanted to share it with you. Love your self, forgive yourself, love your spouse and forgive your spouse, we all have fingers pointing back at us when we point them at someone……..Hope this gives you a fresh desire to pray for your spouse and be one with them in spirit and truth, because in marriage you are one, so walk in it.
