Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary

It's in the singing of a street corner choir, It's going home and getting warm by the fire, It's true where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas! Having an amazing night watching Christmas movies; The Grinch, Polar Express, Frosty the Snowman, and last but not least, we ended it with 'Muppets Christmas Carol'. So much fun just sitting here watching Christmas movies, and singing along to all the songs because you've heard them a million times. Watching the boys wrestle on the floor between songs.  It's all so great! I can hardly believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve!!!  Christmas came so fast this year!  I hope tomorrow is great, and everyone is happy! Have a great evening!!! 'For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.' -Anna

So sorry to my readers!  I kinda left you hanging with the last post:-) My mom and I did finaly make it to Florida to pick up my brother:-) lets see... last thing I posted was... left the car dealership... liecense problems... hotel... Ahh yes, Hotel.   My mom and I stopped at a Hotel, and got about 4 hours of much needed sleep. We got up at 4 am the next morning and loaded the car up to get back on the road and finish the last 3 hours of our trip. When we got out to our van, we saw the side door was open!  Somehow the night before, either my mom, or I had pressed the button on the keys that openes the door, instead of pressing the lock button. So our side door was open all night! Thankfuly God was watching over our van, and no one stole anything, and my moms computer was sitting on the floor by the door! whew! that could have been bad!  So my  mom and I got back on the road, I went back to sleep, and mom drove.  We were a little behind because we went t...

Well Here is the second half of my  mom’s and my crazy adventure:) My brother   came into the car dealership.  I have never felt so relieved in my life, seeing my brother come in that waiting room, that I have become so well aquanted with, was a blessing, it felt like our hero had finally showed up to save my mom and me.   I went out to his car and crawled in.   My baby girl niece was sleeping in her carseat.  She was like a little angel cheering up my crazy little world.  My brother came out to the car, we drove around to the back of the car dealership where our crushed van was sitting.  My mom and my brother moved our luggage from the van into My brothers car.   My mom and brother got into the car, the car started, we were moving, for the first time since 10:30 that morning we were moving , gratid we were going the oposite direction we wanted to go, but we were moving.  Our plan was to rush from Grenada Mississippi b...

   Well, I should be hugging my brother right now, and packing up his stuff from college to bring him home for the Christmas holidays.  But that is not what I am doing, in fact I couldn't be doing anything further from that.:-)     I am sitting in a car dealership in Grenada Mississippi.  My Mom and I have been sitting here since 12:00 noon today.     So here's what happened...   I was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat, my Mom was driving, when all the sudden there was a scrachy bang, kinda like running over a large rock (which is what I thought had happened when I was still half asleep).  I muttered "what happened?"  my mom said that we hit a dear, I sat up, but didn't completly wake up since the car was still moving, so I laid back, then I noticed we were pulling off the road. so I turned over and asked my mom what we were doing, she was atempting to pull the keys out of the ignition, they were stuck, which wasn't uncomin...

    8) Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:     9) Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, who is the L ORD ?  or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.   Proverbs 30:8~9       What Solomon is asking God for here, is something every Christian should be praying for. "Remove far from me vanities and lies,"  Vanities and lies, something every one struggles with, especially teenage girls.  girls want to look their best, and pretty themselves up, and that is good, but the mindset of this world today, is telling us everyday that beauty and self is everything, and it's not.  Vain thoughts, that is not necessarily only talking about thinking your beautiful, it is also talking about idle thoughts, thoughts that aren't important.  I struggle with having idle thoughts all the time, and it's OK to day dream sometimes, but when it bec...
