Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

My Own Parking Space

This past two years has brought many changes in my life.  Some good, some not good!  I'm so thankful to have a relationship with God.

This past year God has blessed me in so many ways!  I am finding who I am and finding that I am a capable, strong woman.  I actually like myself so much more than I did in the past.  I feel that I am becoming my true self once again and it's a place I feel most comfortable!

In October last year I started a new job - with a roofing company!  I started part-time, just a couple of days a week and am now full-time wearing many hats!  I never knew that I would love the roofing industry as much as I do, nor did I know there was so much involved!

I am an executive assistant to the Safety and HR manager.  He's a great boss and has also become a good friend.  I feel very "at home" where I am in my job!  The president of the company is great too . . . and, oh yeah he's my brother!  I feel honored to work with him everyday and I'm learning so much!

And . . . I have my own parking space!

I've never had my own personal parking space before!  What do you think?

A couple of weeks ago, my brother sent me to Florida for some training.  I was in Delray Beach for a full week and it was beautiful!  My hotel was two blocks from the beach and 7 blocks from school.  I walked everywhere I went in town and loved every minute of it - although the first day I walked to class, I carried my backpack with my laptop inside.  By the time I made it to class, I was pretty tired of carrying it.  I weighed it and it weighed 22 LBS!  I left my laptop at the hotel every day after that - much more enjoyable walk!

Here's the view from my hotel room!




I also took pictures of the drawbridge (which I walked over everytime I went to class).  We don't really have drawbridges in Oklahoma - at least that I've ever seen and I knew my granddaughter would like to see it.  It opened every day about 7:45am, as I walked TO class and then again about 4:45pm as I walked back to the hotel after class.

The training was great!  I learned how to read blueprints, a lot of roofing terminology, how to draw plans to scale and a LOT about the different types of roofs.  Where I work we do only commercial roofs - no residential, so it's really interesting to me.

God has truly blessed me and I am thankful!
