Another Beautiful Morning!
Yesterday, I got an email from the teacher of the database class I was at last week and he wanted me to go in the classroom again this week so the students could present their
take on what I needed for my database.
So I ran over to Rochester last night for the class. Before leaving last night's class he reminded me I would need to be back next week for class...I didn't know what I was getting in for :-) So now I have four more classes to attend...
Next week we are in Oklahoma so I won't be able to attend that one but will attend the remaining classes.
Today, I have a nail appointment, I run to Winona and then drive down to Iowa to see my girlfriends. I am in Iowa until Sunday.
I haven't seen these girls for a year.
Will be a lot of fun...
It will be interesting to see how I do...I need to watch what I eat & drink, and how much time I spend in the uv light...
I am so thankful for family and friends...

Today's Bible Study
The Faith to Hold Out
By Charles Stanley
Read | Hebrews 12:3-11
Sometimes our life can seem like a long, dark tunnel. Perhaps we are unable to discover a solution for a problem, or we cannot find relief from pain. Regardless of the direction we turn, we can’t find hope for anything better than our present circumstances.
Thankfully, we serve a God who feels our pain and knows our limitations firsthand. Jesus Christ walked through the valley of the shadow of death and cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:34). This means that when our faith is stretched to the breaking point, our strength is exhausted, and our dreams are shattered like glass, Jesus understands. And He asks us to hold on, even when everything in us screams to give up.
Giving up means abandoning God’s help for our own strength. We try to manipulate a situation or simply avoid pain. In essence, we are choosing to believe that Satan in his worldly power is stronger than Christ within us—which is the exact opposite of what the Bible says is true (1 John 4:4). Of course, the devil is not more powerful, but we let him win a battle if we give up on the assurance that God will see us through difficulty. When we have that attitude, we miss the Father’s blessing and limit our usefulness in His kingdom.
Even when we cannot detect His presence, God is working every moment on our problem. But we must trust His perfect timing for revealing the answer. Your Father knows your hurt, and He will bring you through that dark tunnel. Do not give up before receiving His blessing.
Looking forward to another great day...
