Update..

The bathroom is almost finished, there is still the tiling to be done and the shower has to be plumbed. It took me a while to get cleaned up. I have taken some before and after picture's and i am just waiting until the wall's get tiled on Tuesday to take some more; then i will post them here.

I went to the hospital today to see a neurologist because i have been getting some real bad headaches and dizziness over the past few months. He thinks it is probably migraine attacks but he wants me to have an MRI scan just in case they are missing something. Please pray everything shows up normal. I was so nervous just waiting to see him but the Lord got me through that. Whenever i am in a situation like that, the Lord reminds me of a scripture verse in Philipiians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me. I have had to ask the Lord's forgiveness for not trusting him enough in times like this. He always proves his word and gives me the strength. Isn't it funny that we can trust him with our eternity but yet find it hard to trust him in the simplest of things.

I had better stop for now as i have to collect the kids from my mom's house. She kindly agreed to look after them for few hours today so that i could get some stuff done around the house. Knowing my mom they will be covered in chocolate by now. Best get going. Have a wonderful day.

Inspirational story...

You'll find Jesus there!

***

"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began, "I'll open up your heart..." "You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed. "I'll cut your heart open," he continued, "to see how much damage has been done..."" But when you open up my heart, you'll find Jesus in there."

*

The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. "When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up and I'll plan what to do next." "But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. You'll find Him in my heart." The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart. I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And I'll find out if I can make you well." "You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there."

*

The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bedrest.

Prognosis:, " here he paused, "death within one year." He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said.

*

"Why?" he asked aloud. "Why did You do this? You've put him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"

The Lord answered and said, "The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow."

*

The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. "You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why?" The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for he has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb." The surgeon wept.

*

The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?" "Yes," said the surgeon. "What did you find?" asked the boy. "I found Jesus there," said the surgeon.

Poem....

My Heritage

--------------------

I may not be rich from the world's point of view

I may not own land or houses- it's true

*

But i have a Father who has riches untold,

he abides in a city that has street's of Gold

*

He owns many mansion's in Heaven, you see

and he gives them away completely for free

*

The cost to my Father was none too small

He paid a great price when his Son died for all

*

So when people look at me here on this earth

and think i have nothing that's of any worth

*

I have a heritage that no-one can take

a home in heaven that never will break

*

This world has riches that will soon pass away

but my Fathers riches will last for eternity

Psalm 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Update....

I figured since it's been a while i had better post something. I trust you are all doing well.

The world is celebrating the Easter holidays now and are supposed to be celebrating the Resurrection of Christ when all it is, is an excuse for people to drink alcohol.
I wonder how many churches will be telling their congregation the reason that Christ died on the cross??? Will they tell the people the good old Gospel story of our Saviour??

Sadly many don't and that is why it's important that we as Christians do our job and tell people of a Saviour who loves and died for them. If we don't then we are saying no to God when he has commanded us to do so. Unfortunately I as a christian have told the Lord no on more than one occasion when he has told me to witness to someone and the holy spirit has convicted me for failing the Lord. It is not a nice feeling and i wouldn't want it for anyone. It's much easier just to say yes and the Lord will bless you for it and someones soul may be saved because they heard the gospel. I am reminded of the following hymn:

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying,

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;

Weep o'er the erring one,

Lift up the fallen,Tell them of Jesus the mighty to save.

***

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;

Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.

***

Though they are slighting Him,

Still He is waiting,Waiting the penitent child to receive;

Plead with them earnestly,

Plead with them gently;

He will forgive if they only believe.

***

Down in the human heart,

Crushed by the tempter,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart,

Wakened by kindness,

Chords that are broken will vibrate once more.

***

Rescue the perishing,

Duty demands it;

Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;

Back to the narrow way, Patiently win them;

Tell the poor wand'rer a Savior has died.
