Thursday, November 9th
Another beautiful morning...
Yesterday, I got a call from St. Lucas letting me know, they increased Gloria's pain medication and added antibiotics for her legs. They are not healing on their own, like they should be. :-( Kaylee and I are heading over today to see both grandmas. :-)
I got another call from Dr Danning yesterday to see how I am doing. She decided to have me come in to see her and get some blood work. I also got a call from the muscular dystrophy clinic to remind me of my appointment with them on Monday.
Yesterday, I cleaned out my closet and drawers. :-) I'm letting go of the shorts, the capris, many short and long sleeve shirts, pants...I really have a lot of clothes that I don't need or use. :-)
Today, I go down to Winona for another interview before heading over to pick up Kaylee from daycare. Yesterday's interview went really good. I let them know about my situation...will wait and see what happens. :-)
My thoughts and prayers go out to CJ as he continues to heal from his addictions. My our Lord strengthen him as he walks day to day. Grant him Your peace and surround him with Your love. Amen!

Today's Bible Study
Impacting Others for God’s Kingdom
Read | Colossians 4:6
In our desire to impact people around us, we often look to the example of individuals who have positively influenced our own lives. Many of us have known men or women who created a hunger in our soul to know God better. Seeing what a difference they made in our life, we may wonder if we could ever have that kind of influence on others.
The answer is yes, because God’s Spirit indwells every believer, making it possible for any of us to be effective in significant ways. One way is by simply speaking words of kindness. When you notice that someone is depressed or deeply troubled over circumstances in his or her life, you have the opportunity to say, “I just want you to know that I love you and appreciate you. I know things look black right now, but I’m lifting you in prayer. You are going to make it.” It may not sound eloquent or profound, but just imagine yourself receiving such encouragement in a time of need. Then you’ll get an idea of how meaningful such comments can be.
Another way to make a significant impact is through the church that you attend. Every week, when you contribute to the ministry of Jesus Christ in that fellowship, the Lord utilizes your offering in ways you’ll never be able to measure. He knows how to multiply your gift so it goes much further than you realize.
Because God wants all believers to have impact for His kingdom, He expects you to use the abilities and opportunities He has given you. Where do you begin? Right where you are—start by brightening the corner where you live.
Another great day!
