Look Outside The Box

Last night Hubby and i attended a Thank You meeting for the Church our oldest daughter attended while attending Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. What a grand time was had by over 400 who have a passion for the word of God being preached on a College and University campus. The Church's name is Purdue Christian Campus House and is in it's 40th year of existence. The Church was began by Doug Dickey. Most people have no idea who this man is, but He started 3 different Camus House's in the mid 1960's at Indiana University, University of Illinois, and Purdue. Today there are others in Kentucky University, Illinois State in Illinois, Ball State in Indiana, and a small collage in Missiour. All these I know about. I understand there are in other Universities and Colleges in the United States where a Campus House is.

The Campus House at Purdue is now holding 4 services with an average of 1100 on any given Sunday and over 400 on a Thursday night, with more attending 80 small groups during the week. Hubby and I have attended Church on many occasions through the past 10 years and what a treat to be in a service where God is. God is moving on the Purdue campus and I have heard others say they can feel Him on other campuses thought out the United States.

A new project is in the planing stages for the Purdue Christian Campus House to look out of their box and get out of the Church building and go where the students are, not expect the students come to them. I was blown over as they explained what their plans are. The staff plans to buy a prime peace of propriety on Purdue's campus and open a Coffee House. This location is in an area of a culturally diverse population with Ethnic grocery stores with all kinds of food for different cultures. In June the PCCH will be hosting a work camp for any man, woman, and child to help gut the building, remodel the inside and outside and be open for business the middle of August. This coffee house is to be place where good food and coffee can be had, as well as, good spontaneous conversation can go on in a safe place outside of a Church building.

Thankful Thursday

Glory is the word today for the Thankful Thursday and I am very thankful for The Lord Prayer that talks about glory which is found in Matthew 6:9-13 and verse 13 reads: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen (KJ) We are given glory when we are not led to be tempted by what this world says is how we are to live and make a living. If we can not be tempted we are delivered from the evil of this world and God's glory is forever and forever. I am so thankful for God's glory

Saying Grace

Please enjoy. Received this from a friend and know that others will love to read it.

Saying Grace in a Restaurant

Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.
My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said, 'God is good, God is great. Thank you
for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets us ice cream
for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!'

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a
woman remark, 'That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't
even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!'
Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, 'Did I do it wrong?
Is God mad at me?'
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God
was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the
table.
He winked at my son and said, 'I happen to know that God thought that
was a great prayer.'
'Really?' my son asked.
'Cross my heart,' the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose
remark had started this whole thing), 'Too bad she never asks God for
ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes.'

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son
stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the
rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it
in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, 'Here, this is for
you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good
already.'

The End
I hope God sends you some Ice Cream today!

Tuesday

Good snowy, sun shining morning to all. I am looking out my window to a fresh layer of 8 inches of snow. All the schools in the area are closed and Hubby and I are waiting to hear if the Boys Sectional games will be held tonight. Just heard on the news that tonight's game has been postponed until tomorrow night. Yesterday, I spent the day with Hubby in Northeastern Indiana as He was seeing clients to sign them up for Crop Insurance for 2008.

Tuesday In Other Words
"Miracles have happened when God's people come together in prayer."

~ Billy Graham ~

I can write volumns on this quote. Oh yes, in my life when people have prayed together for miracles they happen. As I have writen in the past, my life has been saved two different times throught the prayers of others. I know with out a doubt, a miracles were performed. I believe these mircles happened to show friends of mine God is real and when a person believes phenomenons happen.

BLESSINGS FROM MY HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE

Encouragement

Good morning. I received the following words from a cousin of mine throught an e-mail. She is in the final weeks of 52 weeks of kemo for breast cancer. She has been up beat through out the whole process and she is a survivor.

"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere." Psalm
84:10a (NIV)

Why do I often want to settle for less than what God has for me? What
if I truly lived today completely obedient to God's word and in tune
with His voice? What if before every choice I make today, I held up
my options to the Lord and chose obedience over convenience and
righteousness over my rights.

God has never asked me to do great things for him. All He has ever
required of me is to allow His greatness to enter me, change things
around in me, and be revealed through me. Not to do for Him, but
rather to simply be with Him.

So, just for today I will live this way. Just for today, I am making
the choice to not settle. Just for today, I will not let the subtle
influences of pride, what is best for me, what is easiest for me, and
what I want overshadow my desire for more of God in my life.

Today, I will believe with absolute certainty. Today, I will obey
with complete surrender. Today, I will seek with complete abandon.
For today, I want God to find in me a haven in which to rest.

Isaiah 66: 1-2 (NASB) says, "Thus says the LORD, 'Heaven is My throne
and the earth is My footstool. Where then is a house you could build
for Me? And where is a place that I may rest? For My hand made all
these things, Thus all these things came into being,' declares the
LORD. 'But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite
of spirit, and who trembles at My word.'"
My soul jumps at God's question, "Where is the house you could build
for me -- where is a place that I may rest?" He is the God of the
Universe - so big and so mighty and so capable. Yet, asking almost a
vulnerable question to a completely unworthy human - "Can I abide
with you today?"
If the president of the United States called me today to inquire,
"Can I come and stay for a while? I'd like to sit and find rest with
your family today," I would be left utterly speechless. How much more
so that the God of the Universe actually desires that with each of us
today.

Unimaginable. Uncontainable. Unfathomable. Yet completely true.
There are no great people in the kingdom of God. Just simple people.
But every now and then a simple person makes a great choice. Oh God,
let me make that choice today. Even if it is just for a day - how I
long for it to be more - but even if it is just for today, may it be
completely so.
For one day completely with You, is better than a thousand elsewhere.

Dear Lord, I desire You today. Surround me with Your presence.
Remove the distractions from my heart and mind so I can see only you.
Lead me, guide me and teach me today. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

An Awsome God

Last night I hope you looked out your windows and saw from beginning to end the most spectacler act of God, a lunar elclips. The moon light through the clouds on the snow was picture taking marvelous from my front yard at the beginning of the event the Lord displays every so many years. I marveled as the moon seemed to move as it was covered in darkness from the earth blocking the sun. To come to the realization that God planned this from the beginning as He was creating the Heaven and Earth just took my breath away. Why that came to me I do not know, but so glad that the thoughts came to mind when they did. I watched out an east window as God's hand was at work doing what Man can not do. Man can observe and learn and try to duplicate, but can not do what only God can do. I fell a sleep and did not see the uncovering of the moon, but was I saw was brilliant. Can not wait for the next one to occur in three years.

Children and Prayer

"Momma prayed, momma cried, momma laid awake at night.
She would fight my battles while I slept away
Cause momma knew life is hard
without somebody on your side
I don't know how, but there is power in the way,
The way my momma prayed."

words and music by Jeremiah Olson of 40milesNorth

When this quote was read, I thought about my oldest daughter and her bout with the flu which lasted a week with another week to get her strength back. I wanted to be there to make her chicken soup, give her medicine to make her feel better and hold Her in my arms. She lives 3 and 1/2 hours away and is 29 years old so all I could do was pray and fight Her battles while she slept.

From the second I learned I was going to have each of my girls I started praying. I had no idea what the impact would be on their lives. Knowing there lives would not be easy and wanting to make it as easy as possible I continued to pray. Then when they were born I started praying for the man they would marry. God listens and He answers. He gave me 2 beautiful, smart, and God loving girls and that is more than the pray I prayed in the beginning. What a son-in-law God chose for my youngest daughter. Again more than I had prayed for. They are in God's arms and I will pray for them for ever.

Interceeding for Children is a blog that directs individuals in how to pray for children. They make it personnal and general. As Mothers we will pray for our children and then our grandchildren. Like the quote we will loose sleep, fight battles, and make life as easy as possible for them. There are other children who come into our lives to pray for and we have to since many of them have no one who cares who they are enough to pray for them and their safety.

Sunday Of Many Things

Another weekend of girls and boys basketball. Friday night was an exciting evening with the boys winning their next to the last game for the season before tourment time. Saturday morning we traveled about a hour for Regional games to see our girls play in the first game of the morning at 10:30 AM. Though they played a well fought game they lost the game. I was so proud of them as they left the floor with the heads up.

Hubby and I stayed for the second game where a Christian School from Fort Wayne,IN upset the No. 1 team who had been unbeaten for 46 games in our region. The game was exciting and well fought by both teams.

Then at 8:30 PM the team that beat our girls and the Christian School played their hearts out to the final busser. The Christian School won and upset the No. 2 school in our region. During the last minute a girl from the Christian School was serious hurt and after half an hour was taken off the floor with her head banaged. At this time we do not know how she is so my pray is that everything is alright and she will be able to play next Saturday in the Semi State

I love reading the messages on T-Shirts and I saw one at the basketball game that has a good meaning on what makes a champion.

"Champions aren't made in the gyms,
Champions are made from sonething they
Have deep inside them
1. A Dream
2. A Desire
3. A Vision"

A Thoughtful Valentines Day Thursday

As you see from the card above the candy in the picture is my most favorite candy and Valentines Day is my most favorite holiday. Love is in the air on this day and cards, candy, flowers, and many other thoughts are given on this one day of the year.

In the book of Mark Jesus is asked a question by a scribe and the question he asked was "Which is the first commandment of all?" and in Mark 12: 29-31 "Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And Thou shalt Love The Lord Thy God With All Thy Heart, And With All Thy Soul, And With All Thy Mind, And With All Thy Strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou Shalt Love Thy Neightbour As Thyself. There is nome other commandment greater than these." (KJ)

I want to talk about loving your neighbor and that includes the children. On Monday and Tuesday I met two children who I beieved are not loved by family members. The fisrt child I met was being called mean by a fellow classmate. I saw a sad face wanting to say I am not mean, but did not know how to say it. I heard the exchange and came up to the two of them and wanted to know why it was thought the one child was mean. I said I believe there are no mean children. The child being called mean put their arms around my waist and gave me a silent thank you. Then in another class I met the second child who is a child who is on medicaation for AHDD or one of those type of problems. This child does not like touch. I spent special time with this child to let them know that someone cared. Maybe you know a child who would love someone tell them they are special and loved.

Happy Valentines Day

I would like to wish you a very Happy Valentines Day. I pray you all receive a little bit of the love that this day means. My Hubby treated me to a two day trip to Louisville, Kentucky. We attended the largest Farm Machinary Show in the United States. This show begins on Wednesday and ends Saturday afternoon. A night in a nice motel room is what I call a Very Happy Valentines Day.

Also, I want to give you a large vase of roses. Enjoy and have a great day with some one you love.

Part Two

Here is part two of subing for a Music teacher. Day two was easier since different classes, but the same lessons. In our school district there are at least 3 classes for each 5 grades. The two 1st grade classes was to teach them how thunder storms could be played with drums and wood instuments. The two 2nd grade classes was to teach them about the differences of pitched and un-pitched insturments. I passed out drums maracus, wood blocks, and trangles. They listened to a song that taught them how to play these insturments together. They did a very good job putting them all together to make music. The 4th and 5th grade classes are working on a Spring program and they worked on three songs that will be used. The two songs are Foot Loose and The Boogie Woodgie Bulguler(mis-spelled) Boy. I told them I would be at the program to see them in the final product. I can not wait.

Sub Teaching

Hello all, just a shot note. I have been called to sub teaching. I am teaching music for the elementry classes in our school district. I had so much fun today. I love music, but had no idea about teaching it. will be teaching tomorrow also so I will try to say more tomorrow night.

Weekend of Basketball

Hello all, what a weekend. Saturday was a busy day of travel from one game to another. In the early afternoon Hubby and I traveled about an hour to watch a boys game. The other team was taller than anyone on our team. Our boys stayed with them and did a wonderful job and only lost by 12 points. The way the game started out it could have been a blow out. The boy played their hearts out and 3 hours later they attended the girls sectional finals to cheer the girls on.

Hubby and I did some shoping and made it home for an hour of rest then on to the girls game. The gym rocked with cherring fans from both schools and the boys were in rare form of dress and cheered the girls on to a victory. The girls play a well fought battle with minor cuts to win by 10 points. Next Saturday we travel to the Regional games and they will be played at the High School of the girls we beat.

WOW

Good morning, what a night of basketball last night. Our High School girls are playing in a Sectional. There are 6 teams in our section and our girls played last night and won after 2 overtimes. The game before was just as exciting. This morning I can not talk and I am soaking my hands in warm water. Tonight the girls will play for the Sectional title. They have a chance to win, but will have to play their hearts out.

This morning the High School boys will be playing a make up game about an hour from home so Hubby and I will have a busy day and evening.

I pray for all of your boys and girls who play basketball at the tourment time that they will play their best and have fun doing it.

Pray for Thursday

Tonight is Senior night for the High School Boys. I am a little scared about going. Last Saturday night at the boys game one of the boys fathers turned around and told me to shut up. I love cherring for the boys and the girls and I felt so embarassed and almost started to cry. God spoke and I new to not say a word to the man. Many of the parents came up after the game telling me that they have enjoyed hearing me cheer for their sons and they want me to continue. I have a voice that carries around a room. I am learning to quiet it down in certain places, but the basketball game tonight I will let it soar for the joy of the game. Pray for me that I will be Christ like and show joy in watching a group of young men play their very best.

Award Day

I am so happy this afternoon. I am sitting looking out the window and seeing it snow. This morning it was rain. We started out with snow on Sunday evening, then fog on Monday with thunder storms in the evening, melts the snow and lifts the fog, and Tuesday it started to rain, and today it is snowing. The rivers and streams in our area are out of their banks and more flooding than two week ago.
Happy because a new friend has given me these awards. They are so presious. Thank you Chuck for them.

Patient

He [God] is very patient with us when we are trying to be patient with Him."
~ Elisabeth Elliott ~

As I was contemplating this quote I visited a friend’s blog and my thoughts began to boil over. According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary one of the definitions for patient is steadfast, persevering. I see God as the most steadfast and persevering individual I know, but I see myself as just the opposite I pace the floor when I should sit and be calm and wait for the answer for the pray prayed. I look at the clock and calendar and think why Lord have you not answered the pray.

I just got a picture in my minds eye of the Lord smiling as He sits on His throne and says if He can be patient with me I need and should and have to learn and have to try daily to be patient with Him. My time by the clock and the calendar is not God’s time

Learning to go to my quite place is a lesson in patients. My quite place is my bedroom on the bed, or under the covers in bed, or pacing the floor as I talk, cry, pray, and try to be steadfast. I believe the quote God is very patient with me as I am learning to be patient with Him.

A Foggy Monday

Hello everyone, In my part of Indiana the fog is like soup. The weather person said the visablilty is 150 feet and I believe that. Hubby and I attended a farmers meeting today and coming home was with pray all the way. Hubby decided that we would go out early for his birthday and so some business in a town not far from here and His meal was free. The fog got thicker so we got our food to go. Hubby ordered barbequ ribs with steamed vegetables and I ordered a hamburger steak with grilled onions and a baked potato.

This weekend was busy, but so interesting. Saturday with friends we attended a satilite seminar led by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend who have writeen books on the subject of Boundaries and training of how to be a loving person. Their web site is www.cloudtownsend.com. Every thing can be down loaded free. Then Hubby and I attended a boys basketball game. A very interesting game that was well fought, but our boys lost.

Sunday after a wonderful message from our Minister Hubby and I went out for lunch for His birthday. We set and looked at the Kankakee river flow past and Hubby enjoyed a free birthday meal and my meal was excelent. We were not home long when it was time for Sunday Night church. A small group is meeting and we began a study by Gary Chapman who has written "The Five Love Languages". This is going to be a study that will open our eyes and assist us to have a better marriage. It did not take long for me to know what Hubby's Love Language is.

I am sorry about the mispelled words. My spell check in not working.

Happy Birthdday Hubby

Today is my Hubby's 60th birthday and I want to wish Him the greatest day. Let us say now we are the same age. Yes, I am two months older. We will be celebrating with Church and a good lunch where His is free.

It Is Winter

Praise the Lord for no wind. The area I live in has only 6 inches of snow. The seneray outside my window is stunning. The trees are covered a little and my yard has no prints on it so it looks like a small mountain. A few birds are out sitting on anything not covered with snow. The county snow plows are going past so my Hubby is able to get out and explore to see how the highway is and check on our livestock. A lot of schools have canceled for the day so a wide are of our part of the state is shoveling out. According to a blog friend her part of Indiana had freezing rain. She lives in an area of hills and curves.

Last night Hubby and I attended a barn burner of a girls basketball game. The JV won by 1 point and gave the other team their first defeat of the season. The Varsity won a well fought game. Three seniors were honored and the parents have a small celebration after the game. This is the girls last game before sectional begins next week. They will play the same team in their first game. The game will be just as exciting as the one last night.
