We didn't get nearly as much snow as predicted. It's blowing so it seem like a lot, but my guess we probably got 4 inches, which would make those weathermen correct.
Went out to get some food. Illinois has a store called Aldi's. It's motto is the stock up store. So you can really get your money's worth. Thank God for that.
I must stay in the Thanking God mode or I'll get into fear again and it's Saturday...who wants to be bummed out on the weekend??? We did get a check in the mail today from our insurance company, I had raised our deductable for our home, suggested by my daughter in law, so they sent us a refund...which is going toward our payment plan for our mortgage. SEE ROSE EVERYTHING DOES WORK OUT!!! TRUST GOD!!!
Now we need Mark to work next week. Which is a very good possiblity as his boss comes back from vacation. The snow should not effects work. Prayer for this would be appreciated.
I do know that prayer works!
After my divorce in 1985 I was a very heavy drinker. I blamed everybody for my situation, cursed God and alcohol became my escape. I did the whole treatment thing many times. One time I met a girl who was visiting another patient. She told me she would pray for me. While long story short she did. It didn't work right away, I still drank and blamed. Another time I went into a church (I liked the look of it) very drunk and the members also prayed for me. My family prayed for me, I even prayed for me! Even though I was very angry at God...He loved me so much that He let me experience all the errors of my ways. One day at a meeting I sat there, 6 months pregnant, mad at the world, just listening. This girl told another guy that he had to quit blaming people for his problems. That clicked for me, and I had probably heard that same message a hundred times, but that day that moment I was ready. She became my mentor, and friend...I had that moment of clarity and took action...there were days I stayed sober because I was afraid of her. But since that day August 12, 1988, I stopped drinking and stayed stopped. My baby? Well she's 16 years old, perfect and wonderful....my miracle baby!
I always have to remember that God works miracles in HIS time..not mine
I must always trust that I have so much to learn, to experience to enjoy in life.
And finally that I am a beautiful child of God, and as His child I know He will always take care of me.
Have a wonderful weekend!!

That is definitely the KEY point, I think. It is all in HIS TIME, not ours. So proud of how far you've come, Rose. And when you hit a rough spot, hon, just remember what you named your journal. Hugs. *Barb*
My 1988 baby is my miracle baby too. I loved barbs comment. Glad you only got 4 inches..I think we are bypassing that amounth right now here in NY
Thanks for visiting my journal, it's nice to meet you, too!
