Book Sneeze - first book review

I chose something that I can do with the kids tonight - it's called Night Night Blessings and is a very sweet book about Thanking the Lord for all our blessings - Big and small - Very important I believe to instill in children a sense of gratitude for all blessings - seen and unseen.  Looking forward to seeing their reactions as we read the book together.

Welcome

Hey,
I'm fast reaching an age where I feel I should have learned at least some valuable lessons in this thing we call life.

I grew up tough - in a childrens home from the age of four years old, trying in my own unaware of life way to look out for myself and my little brother.  I wondered through life aimlessly right into my twenties, trying this and that for "my space" and never achieving much in the way of major success anywhere, even though in all aspects of my life, I am a pretty hard working girl.

Anyway, Jesus has always been a part of my life in a very small way - my choice - I don't think I ever understood the value of a real relationship with Jesus Christ and it is only now in the last five months that I have really started seeking the Lord for His will in my life. 

The ride has been interesting and I'd be lying if I didn't admit how scared I have been - having learned early in life that I needed to control every one of my situations - giving over to the Lord has not been easy.  Right now I am in the middle of something with God which I can't share right now but when the Lord reveals this plan that he is giving me the tiniest taste of... I'll keep you ... posted!

Have a Blessed, Christ Filled day
