God's Got It

Well Dad...it's funny sometimes how you work and I love you so much for it!

Two weeks to the day after my last message I finally managed to wake up in time, stay awake, and actually get out the door of my apartment and walked the 20 min to the church I've been planning to go to.  Was a hot, humid walk, and I was drenched with sweat by the time I got there...not very pleasant way to make a first impression...oops.  And then imagine my surprise when I walk in and who do I see but two of my neighbours, one of which we haven't been on speaking terms for over 6 months due to some hurtful words said on both our parts in relationship to a cat.  LOL.  It's really quite a back story and I'm not going to get into it right now.... except to say it's been weighing on my heart for a long time.  I thought I was respecting her wishes by not talking to her but I think I've concluded it was more my own hurt and hardened heart that was not talking to her.  Anyway, we've made up.  It's good to be back on track with that now.  I have just one more neighbour that I have issues with and I do hope to somehow come around to speaking terms to them.  I'm not sure if it'll happen or not. I know I hurt them for no good reason...and that is my fault and I need to face the music and get over my fears and apologize.  I am not sure it will go so well as today's though...which is part of why it scares me so much.


I don't have a whole lot of time right now, but Father please help me find the strength to break down the remaining barriers with neighbours.  Oversee the situation that it goes the best possible way according to your plan.  Let me be a light to those around me that they will feel Your Love in my daily actions.

Thank you for blessing me today, by getting me up in time to go to church and keeping me awake long enough to get there and giving me the energy to walk down.  It means so much.

Thank you for friends like L who has a vehicle and is wonderful to hang out with...who I can go to the beach and talk to and who is also Your daughter.  Boy oh boy, You have sure given her an amazing gift with her voice and her heart.

Thank you for the cat rescue community and that everything yesterday went well.  All the wonderful people coming together for a great cause and to help one of your beautiful creatures.

Thank you for creating oceans and beaches, I certainly hope there are some in Heaven, or something even more wonderful but equally (or beyond amazing).

I love you Daddy,

FPD

Hello Father God, As usual it's been awhile since I've come here (or anywhere) to write to you. I sort of half talk to you and half listen but that's not really what it should be about.  You want my whole heart, my whole attention...and I really struggle to give it. In fairness...or perhaps, excuse...I struggle with all relationships. My own self, my family, my friends, and very obviously with You. Lately you've been putting a particular program on my radar more and more. You've given me signs in more than one way that this is an avenue I should be seriously considering....and committing to.  Do you know how terrifying that is for me?  Of course You do....but.  Oh but....but what FPD (self)...it's time to stop making excuses but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified. Afraid of what I might uncover, afraid of the process and the what if's, afraid of hurting more, afraid of failing You or myself or someone else....though I know I have already faile

Dear Father God, Christmas is almost upon us and it's easy for us humans to get caught up in what the world's view of christmas has become.  Many of us have forgotten the true meaning of the season....it's not about spending money, running to the store, getting stressed out, or how much we're getting...it's suppose to be about celebrating Your Son.  Your Precious Son who came to Earth, born of a virgin, who died for our sins (yes, each and every one of them) and rose again three days later.  It's about celebrating Your Son's miraculous birth.  Please help me to remember that more during these next few days and to not let me get caught up in so many of the "things" that today's christmas seems to have become about.  Thank you Lord for the wonderful gift you gave me, the only One that should ever really matter to me.  Your Son, my Savior!  This Christmas I want to make it a point to celebrate One Very Special Birthday!  I want to focus mor

Dear Father, We're barely half way into the first month of the year and already so many awful things are happening to those around me.  I know life is tough, and we're suppose to trust you...but it's scary. The earthquake and devastation in Haiti is one of the big things right now.  I'm afraid to even look at pictures and video's because I'd rather be oblivious to how awful things there really are.  I know that sounds horrible, and don't get me wrong, they are all in my prayers...You know that...just stuff like that is scary. Then there's the issues within my own family...marital problems amongst my cousins.  They've separated and are heading for divorce....more then one of my cousins is facing this with their marriages right now.  It's hard to see others lose loved ones. And then tonight, K, is given notice that her job is being terminated.  This is a job she loved dearly and she looked forward to every day.  We know that You work things
