January

I've made it just in time to keep up with my once a month blogging! January has been an ok month...it seems as though our family has been passing around a cold since Christmas.
Ed's job has been a bit of a whirlwind as of late. Job cuts and his regional manager was let go. He is good friends with him so it was very hard for him.He is discouraged and just not sure about the future( which in this economy I'm not sure many are sure). I try to encourage him to be postive and ride the storm out. It's a important time for all of us to pray.
Speaking of prayer put President Obama on your list if he isn't there yet. I am so saddened by some fo his actions already(especially regarding abortion),he's gonna answer to God. As I was thinking about why God would allow him to be pres. the thought came to me that perhaps it is to wake up Christians! We need to be stronger witnesses for Him,stop just quietly living our christian life and fight for our beliefs!!
I have been memorizing a verse from Isaiah 58:11 " The Lord will guide you always he will satisfy your needs in a sunscorched land and will strenghten your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden like a spring whose waters never fail" I just love the Word of God, it is my lifeline!!
God has been doing a work in my heart and I'm just seeking His direction for our life. I want to leave a legacy for Him and be in the center of His will; so if anyone reads this blog keep us in your prayers.
Well, next month should be more interesting because Ed and I are going to a marriage conference for Valentine's day and then it's my birthday so it will be a fun month...until then!:)
