I am 36 years old. Happily married in 2000 to a wonderful man who I met on the internet. :o) I have a step-daughter who is soon to be married. I moved from Indiana to Georgia in 2000, talk about your culture shock! I'm by no means perfect, but I am striving to be the woman God would have me to be. Proverbs 31 is my goal, but I am still a work in progress.

    She's Home!!!!

    Heather is finally home with us safe & sound. She opened her gifts from both sides of our family that she wasn't able to see. One of the things she received was Scene It, which we were playing when her mother called. I thought I would post while we waited.

    This morning we went to church in Manchester and the service was good. I knew there would be something in it I needed to hear because I really didn't feel like going. I woke up with my back hurting and a headache. I tossed back & forth whether I would go or not and finally decided to at least take a shower before I decided. I took some medicine for my headache and then took a shower and felt pretty good. On the way to church, about 45 minutes away I had a panic attack. I've never felt anything like that except when I go to the dentist and they are about to give me a shot. My body felt kinda cold, a panic type cold, for no reason at all and started having trouble breathing. It went away after awhile, but that confirmed that I needed to be there. Normally I would have given into not going so I thank God for nudging me.

    I've picked my word.......tongue. I really need to watch my tongue in a lot of areas. No, not in the sense of cursing, but things that don't need to be said or that I need to think about before I speak. I have also decided that I would study and try to memorize James 3:1-18. I'm terrible at memorizing, but at the least I am going to study it. I'm also considering picking another word and verses in about 3 months. We'll see how this goes, I may need more than 3 months on this one.

    James 3:1-18
    [1] My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
    [2] For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
    [3] Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
    [4] Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
    [5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
    [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
    [7] For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
    [8] But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
    [9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
    [10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
    [11] Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
    [12] Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
    [13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
    [14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
    [15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
    [16] For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
    [17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
    [18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
