John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 6:63
It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Hebrews 12:2
looking to Jesus the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right of the throne of God.
I love what Jesus says in John 6:63, that the flesh is no help at all. When we give into the desires of the flesh we lose sight of the Lord. For the Lord is spirit. The flesh tends to get in the way. So start looking unto Jesus the founder and perfecter of our faith. He will give you peace not just any peace but HIS peace. That is the difference. The world offers so many things to try and promote peace or solitude, but there is nothing like His peace. So stay focused and looked unto Him for He is even in the clouds that you may be going through, which in Nahum 1:3 it says The clouds are the dust of His feet... That is a sign that the Lord is there through your sorrow, suffering, or many different circumstances in our personal lives. And in those clouds He is teaching us faith. (My Upmost For His Highest) God is not trying to always teach us something in the clouds, He may want us to unlearn something. I like this: His purpose in using the cloud is to simplify our beliefs until our relationship with Him is exactly like that of a child- a relationship simply between God and our soul.
So when you see the clouds coming just know that is the dust from His feet and he is right there in the middle, allow Him to teach you to have that child like faith and have a true relationship with Him completely between Him and your soul. Move the flesh out of the way and trust Him for His peace is there for you.
Praise Him and glorify Him for He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings and His mercy endures forever. Amen!!!!

Well Hello There
Well hello there my its been a long long time...
It has been awhile since I wrote anything. A friend of mine Bethany, was sharing some great insights about the Lord and said she was going to blog. I thought hmm I need to do that. So here we go.....
How funny I am sitting here looking at my nails wondering what do I say. Actually there are very few that read it but it feels so good sometimes to just write. So now I am wondering what.
The other night I sat on my love seat talking to the Lord, and first I was watching Kenneth Copeland, and he quoted a scripture that I had to look up and man I love it, it made me think for sure. John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come..... I tell you what for some reason I perked up, and just began to pray. Lord open my ears so that I may hear what the spirit has to tell me. I don't want to miss a thing. Its like wanting to know the mysteries of the Lord. He will share them with you but if you are not in tune with Him you will miss it all. Don't get me wrong He has a way of getting your attention, but sometimes I think He will allow you to go on your marry way till you find that things don't feel right in your life and bam it hits you, you know I have not visited with my heavenly Father in awhile. Don't get me wrong I talk to Him every day but sometimes do I sit and really talk to Him. Like the words of a wonderful song that says, "I miss my time with you those moments together, I need to be with you each day and it hurts me when you say your to busy, busy trying to serve Me, but how can you serve me when your spirits empty theres alonging in my heart wanting more than just a part of you its true I miss my time with you...." hmm what a powerful song. You know before my dad passed away he said you will regret not visiting with me more when I am gone. And he passed away he was right, but we have a way of living life and forgetting what is most important. Life gets in the way. You get busy doing this or doing that and you don't call a loved one and then one day they are gone and you wish that you could call them, and it is the same way with my mom. I talked with them every day but one more time is what I wish I could do so bad, but they are with my heavenly Father rejoicing. So knowing that it can happen with your family on this earth, it also happens with your Father, Jesus Christ. But I tell you He will always be there waiting on you to say Lord I am so sorry I have not been here, and then take a deep breath and just lay in His presence and oooohhhh how wonderful a place that is. I sat on my love seat and I began to pray about some decisions I made really without talking to Him first and ask Him what to do now, when if I would have talk to Him first I would not be in a place of uncertainty. Then I just began to love on Him just praising Him. I tell you what there is absolutely NO peace that even compares to that peace. I began to cry. Not in a sad way but just knowing right at that moment that is where I was suppose to be. He is so wonderful, and so merciful, full of great compassion, and grace. As I began to just to praise and love on Him I knew I knew I knew..... You know we have a life here on this earth but it is a life that is to be lived with Him. We are only passing through this land it is not our home. Oh Jesus I pray open my ears so that I might hear what the spirit is telling me. I do make so many mistakes, my flesh is weak at times but my spirit is so willing. That night on the love seat was a wonderful place and it opened my eyes to some things that really only I would understand for it is something I needed, perfect timing, His time is perfect. There is so much more to it but what I want to leave you is don't let time slip away from you. Love on the Lord everyday, talk to Him, read His word. Praise Him for who He is.. Then I tell you the truth everything else will seem to fall in place. I am not saying that in this world you want have troubles for that is not promised, but what is promised is He will be there to carry you and help you through them. So always put Him first. He is the song in my heart and the music in my ears I praise Him with all I am, for He is my Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
If you don't know him you can for He is no respecter of persons, He has a place just waiting for you, all you must do is believe that He sent His son Jesus to shed His blood so that you might have life. In Him you will find forgiveness of sin, no more quilt or shame. He paid the price. Just say yes Lord I believe, my heart is open come on in. Praise the Lord He is the Great I Am...
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay He Is Here!!
Well Riley made it to the world, June 25, 2009. He is a healthy little boy weighing at 7.9 Pd's and 19 1/2 in long. He is so beautiful. He kinda looks like my son Jay, only with dark hair. He has a birth mark on the back of his hair line like Jay. I tell you he is so sweet. Chloe was not to sure about him at first but I think she will warm up to him.
I have been at there house everyday this week. Trying to help so Robin can recover, and Cippi can work. I tell you one think they have there hands full with 5 children. I am so used to doing my thing when I want to and do nothing if I want to. Well the kids coming and going here and there, man I am soooo not use to all that. But I must say all in all they are good kids. I love my babies. And to add I have had my grand daughter Holly as well. She has had a blast with all those cousin's. I must say though I am tired.
I will meet with Jay Saturday morning to bring him Holly. I must go back to work on Tuesday. But come Monday I have a busy day. Bring Riley to the Dr at 9:30 and then I go to one in Victoria and then to my Dr here in Edna. So that will be a busy day as well. So come one day soon I will do absolutely NOTHING..... Maybe. Sounds good anyway.
Well Holly is taking a bath I must go check on her. So all is well.
I must say that this week has been music for me. All those babies... Some soothing music and some heavy metal.... hahaha... But music none the less. My music!!! God Bless!

Okay Here We Go!!
Robin let me know that we will have baby Riley on Thursday June 24. I said perfect, it works out great for me. So now I am holding my breath praying it does not happen before that. haha who am I kidding, those babies come when they want to.. So I am just praying that it will happen all in God's time. My son-in-law said Riley needed to stay in and bake and turn that nice brown color. haha Wants him to look like him.
Well today is our wonderful Friday Night movie night with the girls, sometimes Cyril joins if it is a good movie and not a chick flick!! Not sure positive on the movie yet but we do know what we will eat, got to have our priorities in order.
My friend Bethany has come home from her vacation with her family. They had a great time playing around the country going here and there. She wants to go back to PA again, she loved that area. Very pretty.
I am going to get my granddaughter Holly the June 26ish and have her for a week. I think we will have a good time. I will have my camera out ready to go. My children make fun of me, because when they are around together I will just snap snap snap, I have pictures of everything. Love to have those pictures. Never enough.. I would love it if Jay and his family could come for the weekend that would be a great visit, but Jay has to work so much. The Navy...
Before I go here is something to think about. Don't worry for the Lord has it under control. He is so wonderful that way to take care of our every need. So think about this:
Problems are temporary and subject to change. But God and His word of victory are never subject to change. Wake up to the blessing around you. You will be more effective in battling the problems if you are giving God the glory for the solutions He has already provided.

Have a blessed day. Hugs to all!!

Great and Mixed
Well after the pitocin drip they were able to do the test to make sure the baby's heartbeat was great. So yea for that. Then when they stopped the drip the contractions continued and we thought well we could have baby. The Dr said he would not stop them. Well after about hour and a half they stopped. Therefore we have not had the baby. Robin was a bit disappointed, and I understand that she is tired, Let it bake some more. That is always a good thing. The Dr really did not think she would make 36 weeks, well she is working to 37. Which I think is great. The mixed part is she is tired. So we are all in all happy about the whole thing. In God's time! Praise to the Lord....

could be baby!!
Well Thursday morning, June 11, 09, Robin has to go to the hospital. The Dr will induce labour and check Riley's heart beat and make sure he is not in distress. I am almost positive he will end up taking the baby. She has to have a c-section. So we will see if we get to meet Riley Mark or have to wait. But let me tell you I moved all my Thursday ladies, so I can be free the whole day!! When I say my ladies to those of you that don't know I am a manicurist. That is one of the good things of being self employed.. Yea!! So Robin, Cippi and the boys are cleaning house and getting it ready. I don't know though what little Chloe will be doing, she is probably taking things out as they put it up.. hahaha.. What is a girl to do right!! So I am going over to Robin's in a bit to make sure she has everything she needs. We have to pack her a bag. Riley does not have a diaper bag, well guess what maw maw gets to do. Go to Walmart. I am making all these plans like I know she is going to have baby. My hopes are high. I can't wait to meet the little guy. Okay I will let you all know how it goes.
I hope that you all have a great wonderful blessed day. I am so excited and hope it spills over to all of you. Hugs to all!!

Night Song
I had asked a friend to help me name my blog site, and at the time she said she would think on it. This morning she was sitting outside reading and she came across Psalms 42:8 "By day the Lord directs His love, at night His song is with me-a prayer to the God of my Life." She thought there ya go Night Song. I am a night out and I love music so that hits it all. Yes at night is when I do watch some tv, but I also love to write my prayers, and thoughts. The Lord tends to meet me there in my living room when the world is asleep. I love that moment, for it seems so sweet and very very quiet. She said the night could aso stand for the hard times I've been through, and yet there's still a song in my heart through it all.
I love it, but as you can see I had already made one up. So, while night song sounds so good, I guess for the fact I love easy, I will not go against the grain and leave as it is. Unless I see that it is not so hard. I also dont mind what I have. So thanks Bethany your wonderful for thinking of me during your quiet time on the porch..
When I think of music it is so hard to share what I feel inside. But I must say there are times I just want quiet. Nothing, no noise at all. But when that music starts man what a feeling. I wrote a couple of years ago (Nov. 2005) something on music for my church and I will share it within the next few days. It is alittle long, but I think you might like it. And what is so funny I feel I am writing in the air for there is no one yet to visit my blog. But that is okay. There is healing in writing. I love to do that. Whether it makes sense or not it is a good thing. So Praise The Lord!!
"Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of the God" ICorinthians 10:31.

Here we go!!
Just wanted to share! This is Cyril my hubby. We have had some great fun together, and continue to do so. What I love about him is he laughs at my jokes, and let me tell you, my jokes are not that funny. He makes me laugh as well. We are having a great ride together!!
Let's See!!
Well I did not want anyone to look at this blog and have nothing to read. I hope that things I share in the future will help you in some way, even a smile would be great. I am waiting for a friend to come over and help me with this. I am just trying to find my way through the new world of blogging. So I hope you come along and enjoy this journey with me...
