For Today… Dear Lord, I bring you my shortcomings…frustrations abound…I have been getting frustrated at the drop of a hat..Why who knows…Probably because i could use and extra 24 hours in my day or lessen my expectations of myself..Either one is a shortcoming! I bring you my worship and praise… Thank you so much for helping Hubby and I to work our a better, workable schedule! Communication is key to helping a marriage grow! The beauty that surrounds me..Whether it’s the flowers blooming and the sun shining or the rain falling and making music on my roof you have provided for us! I bring you my prayer… Lord help me “think Happy thoughts” To not think about frustrations and to help me work on my own beams! You spoke to me… In the peace of my morning devotions yesterday…And made me realize that my hunger for more in depth work with your word is what I need and want and I need to make the time even if it is waking up when it is yet dark…If I am not taking care of this then my household can’t betaken care of..or at least the way it should

I ONCE HAD A PROFESSOR
Who challenged us to write out the books of the Bible word for word. He was a sub for my Romans class..So that is where I started nearly eight years ago and I wish dearly that I could tell you that today I have transcribed more than I have but almost 4 years ago I had my first child and since that time I have not accomplished much in this area BUT I will say this I still keep at it and it is one of my favorite things to do …I retain more …it seems to sink in better! You have to think about each and every word as you push that pen to make one more mark! What a joy!! I will share with you the books I have completed Romans James Titus Ester and Proverbs is what i am currently working on! In My Bible Study i am also working on the Book of John and with each section that I study I write out that passage and to date I working on the section John 7 :1-36 If you have not ever tried this as a method of hiding God’s word in your heart why don’t you give it a shot…it’s amazing what will stick!
