Forgiveness

When do you know you need forgiveness? I know we sin everyday, every minute, every second! We could constantly be asking Gods forgiveness in our lives. We unknowingly and knowingly sin against God, we automatically ask for forgiveness. Those two things just go hand in hand. How many times do we sin against our fellow man? knowingly? Unknowingly? Do we ask for forgiveness? Yes, No, Maybe, sometimes?

Colossians 3:13Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. (NIV)
Needing forgiveness is a terrible feeling but giving forgiveness is amazing! No matter what I do I know I have a heavenly father who understands me and my many faults. It doesn't matter to him. He forgives me! He doesn't hold a grudge, he doesn't throw it up in my face!
Romans 3:23
(NIV)

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
I do not knowingly hurt others but I am sure I have stepped on toes, Lord knows I do have a big mouth. All I know is I try to live the life God wants me too. I ask him to fill my heart with love so that I can show it to others. So I ask your forgiveness if I have wronged you! Jesus has already paid the price and forgiven me! Praise God for that! Danny was often my conscience and would tell me when I stepped out of line. He is still telling me these things, its just now he is a quiet spirit instead of a loud smack on the back of the head! Sometimes I need smacked on the back of the head! God is Good and Forgiveness is great! As I type this note, I keep doing a typo of "forgivemess" ! How true that is! Forgiveness IS forgivemess!

2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land

Trish, you have more faith than you know, You are just begining to use it.Love it.That is what God wants is for us to trust him and turn it over to him, but believe me it gets hard sometimes.

Well I took him to his pediatrician dukart and he said that its where his heart rate is so low where he has been working out. It runs in the 40s when he is at rest   So when he gets up first thing in the am he doesn't have enough blood to get to his brain sooooo he passes out! He said for him to move around while in the bed and get the blood from his legs to his brain. I was really worried!  Of course I think everything is a tumor:(. But god is good!  He knows I couldn't handle that:)

He is off to the fair with his girlfriend and her family. They make such a cute couple :) thank you all for the emails, texts and mostly the prayers! The first thing I thought of was "Lord if this is something serious I can't do it alone!" But you guys have been right beside me!  And you have been there all year!  Texting, calling and emailing and holding my hand and listening to me cry!  Well last night after church I came home and after much reading and soul searching I said "lord  it is what it is and if it is something serious then you have to go with me cause I can't and won't go alone!" And do you know today I just had that peace that all would be well whether we got a good report or a bad one! But praise God for the good one!

Love you all!

You all continue To remember tanner when you pray. He passed out again this morning. Looking at more tests...

Tanner, so glad to hear it was nothing serious!!  And glad you're going to be ok :)

Trish, I love your "Hiding Place".

Tanner has passed out 3 days in a row while trying to get ready for work. So this morning I brought him to the ER. He got a good goin over:). Looks like he is dehydrated and that's all they could find. They are going to tank him up and them send him home:)

Hiding Place

As the tears run down my face I am just sad. I think about so many friends who are facing hard life decisions and illnesses. Sometimes I just don't have the words to help or even encourage because I know the road they are traveling. And sometimes words just don't seem sufficient. Sometimes you need those tears. They are good for the heart and good for the soul. When I walk, I talk to God and I listen to music. One of my favorite songs is "Hiding Place" by Steven Curtis Chapman. In the last 2 years I have wanted to run away and hide! I did find a hiding place! Psalms 119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
When I was scared, and those days were many, I hid. When I was sad, I hid. Even when I was mad, yes, I would find my hiding place. I know what God says! So when I can't find comfort in anything else I turn to those words. His promises!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope

Today I was looking for a hiding place. I found it in the middle of the woods looking out over a cliff. There was nothing but rocks and trees, moss and mushrooms but I could feel Jesus wrap me in his arms there and it felt so good. My prayer for you, my friends, is that you find your hiding place in Jesus! Let him wrap you in his arms and comfort you. Lift up your head, help is on the way. It wont pass you by, you just gotta reach out your hand!
When the storms rage, seek your refuge in that embrace of Jesus Christ, your hiding place!

Hey Trish, you really went out on a limb with that 'lineup' shot! Is that some good lookin' knees or what? Wow, way back when I had hair too. And since then the shortest has become the tallest. How times change. Thanks for the memories. You girls are looking good at Ruth's house. Love you all David
