Another Beautiful Day!
I am babysitting Kaylee today, her daycare is closed because of illness...hopefully it's not the cold/flu we have. We are still coughing but feeling much better. :-)
I received a call yesterday letting me know grandma Gloria will be going back to St. Lucas on Wednesday. :-) So thankful!
I have a busy week planned...I am picking up grandma Faye to come stay with us for a few days on Wednesday. I will be eating Thanksgiving Dinner with grandma Gloria at 12:00 noon and eating my second Thanksgiving Dinner again at home with family and friends at around 3:00pm. :-)
The deer hunters have been seeing a lot of deer but they haven't been close enough to get a shot in. :-(
I was talking with others with DM and PM and everyone of them struggle with trying to find the new normal in their lives. This struggle goes on for awhile, maybe years. I have this same struggle. I don't want this struggle to go on for years. I want to feel like I am living my destiny and feel at peace with this journey. :-)
This week I should be hearing back about the jobs I applied for...God only knows what's best for me...I'm waiting on Him to determine the direction I will be going...
I am announcing and declaring by faith....I'm coming into increased wealth and great health...It tells us in the bible, to call what is not, as if it already is....Amen
My situation is not permanent, I am believing I will be healed and the fullness of my life and my destiny will be revealed. Amen

Today's Bible Study
The Patience of God
Read | 2 Peter 3:3-9
More than likely, you heard the gospel several times before you trusted Jesus as your Savior. Sometimes even though we know the truth, we decide to continue with our life as it is. Why does the Lord tolerate this deliberate sin?
Patience is an attribute of God; it can be seen through His goodness in withholding punishment from those involved in long-term sin. He has a motivation and purpose for His patience. God places a high value on us as His created beings. He waits patiently because He desires to see each one of us come to a saving knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ. That is His primary purpose.
The Father’s secondary reasons for being patient apply to us as believers. He understands our innate carnality and the sinful tendencies that result from it. He also recognizes our weakness and imma- turity in the Christian life. We have much to learn once we are saved, and God does not expect us to know everything at once.
We can, however, abuse God’s patience by misinterpreting it (Ps. 50:21). Have you ever done something you knew was wrong? Sometimes when nothing happens as a result of a particular sin, we think God has overlooked it. We may decide to continue in that behavior, which further abuses the Lord’s patience. But God is very clear that He will not strive with us forever (103:9). That is to say, we cannot continue in our disobedience consequence-free. Has God been convicting you of a sin that you are ignoring? Confess (agree with Him that it is wrong), repent (turn away from the sin), and thank Him for His patience with you.
Looking forward to another great day!
