The last week has not been the best to say the least, flu and just unwell. Some time ago I had a falling out with a friend as she had accursed me on face book of needing professional help to say the least she needed it so I had to let that friendship go we must move on and live a life pleasing to God this friendship was me coming toxic as I was trying to get closer to God this would try in her own nasty way draw me away from God .. I will pray for this woman but there will be no place in my life for this woman,it's sad but life goes on.
Then the other day I get this horrible email from a so call friend accusing me of something I never did very childish attitude ~ we sometimes need to walk away from people because they become very toxic in your life~ and when your trying to go forward in life and your spiritual life you don't need people like this~
I have had to make this lesson in my life a stepping stone move on and let God deal with it
I need God more than ever now I don't need to rely on human beings who let you down, who walk all over you and treat you like a child!!
I pray that this experience won't happen to me again I turn to God and ask for his guidance to help through the rest of this journey!

Some times God comes in the most unexpected ways
The last 9 days have been not so good, this flu is just not going, and the second time in two months I have had it..
Been Saturday I decided not to bet dressed, I had a upsetting day yesterday as a so called friend accused of blocking her off fb, which I didn't do, and her email was the last straw, it hurt , so I have decided to be quite and not contact this person again, her actions are so very childlike..I will pray for her but that is as far as it goes~
So lazing around on the computer and there is a knock on the door, my GOD I answered it to be greeted by a good priest friend, just as if GOD had known I was upset, and needed to talk to some one, God works in strange ways, but he always knows when one needs consoling, to this I felt so blessed, and thinking to my self how you work some times lord is so unexpected, you do know when we are down and we forget you also were human and were hurt, and mistreated and mad a fool of, you suffered more than we will ever suffer, and knowing how much you love us, and always just waiting for us to come to you and put our burdens at your feet/
Thank you for this morning Lord, thank you for all the graces and blessings I have received and the beautiful friends who stand by me in my failures and weakness to be love and reassured, is just wonderful,and that what happen this morning through this wonderful friend....

When Times are Difficult
Tough times happen to everyone at one time or another. Pain and loss are a part of life. There are many different reasons why these occur, but God is always there to bring good out of it when we invite Him to. We have to pray that when we go through difficult times, He will give us a greater sense of His comfort in it. ~

AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE ~
AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE........
Set your own pace........When someone is pushing you, it's ok to tell them they're pushing.
Take nothing for granted........Watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbors mow.
Allow yourself time to be lazy and unproductive........Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Listen to the wind blow........It carries a message of yesterday and tomorrow...
Set your own pace........When someone is pushing you, it's ok to tell them they're pushing.
Take nothing for granted........Watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbors mow.
Allow yourself time to be lazy and unproductive........Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
Listen to the wind blow........It carries a message of yesterday and tomorrow...
........And now.........Now counts.
Rest on your laurels........They bring comfort whatever their size, age or condition.
Talk slower. Talk less. Don't talk. Communication isn't measured by words.
Give yourself permission to be late sometimes........Life is for living, not scheduling.
Listen to the song of a bird........The complete song. Music and nature are gifts, but only if you are willing to receive them.
Slow down. God is still in heaven........You are not responsible for doing it all...yourself... right now.
Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past........Rest there. Each moment has a richness that takes a lifetime to savor.
Quit planning how you're going to use what you know, learn or possess........God's gifts just are. Be grateful and their purpose will be clear.
When you walk with someone, don't think about what you'll say next........Thoughts will spring up naturally if you let them.
Talk and play with children........It will bring out the unhurried little person inside you.
Create a place in your home...At your work....in your heart...where you can go for quiet and recollection. You deserve it.
Take time to think........Action is good and necessary, but it's fruitful only if we muse, ponder and mull.
Make time for play........The things you like to do. Whatever your age, your inner child needs re-creation.
Watch and listen to the night sky........It speaks.
Listen to the words you speak........Especially in prayer.
Learn to stand back and let others take their turn as leaders........ There will always be new opportunities for you to step out in front again.
Divide big jobs into little jobs........If God took six days to create the universe, can you do any better?
Direct your life with purposeful choices, not with speed and efficiency........The best musician is one who plays with expression and meaning, not the one who finishes first.
Take a day off alone........Make a retreat. You can learn from monks and hermits without becoming one.
Pet a furry friend........You will give and get the gift of now.
Work with your hands........It frees the mind.
Take time to wonder........Without wonder, life is merely an existence.
Sit in the dark........It will treat you to see and hear, taste and smell.
Once in awhile........Turn down the lights, The throttle, The invitations. Less really can be more.
Let go........Nothing is usually the hardest thing to do...but often it is the best.
Taste your food........God gave it to delight as well as nourish.
Notice the sun and the moon as they rise and set........They are remarkable for their steady pattern of movement, not their speed.
And as you ramble on thru life my dearest friend........Keep your eye upon the doughnut, and not upon the hole.
"AND SLOWLY COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS ONE AT A TIME"

Sitting at my computer
As I sit here at my computer at 10.12am in the morning,(I have just woken up from six hours sleep)!
I contemplate on the pain I am enduring,~ depression all day yesterday~ and now this shocking pain from my lower back down my leg and I am praying,its not what I think it is, that I have slipped another disk in my lower back!!It is a very rare pain I will never forget when last time I ended up having to have weeks in hospital and then be operated on, I just trust this will pass as the day progresses!
A few weeks Ago I had a lovely visit back to my home town in Young,it was a nice few days, and to be able to go back to many happy memories, plus sad memories, but all in all it did me good, it was very painful to go back to my mothers grave and put flowers on her grave, but I believe she has looked after me all these years, its very painful growing up with out having a Mother,she died when I was six months old. but I am forever grateful for her for giving me life.
Well another week is in front of us, and we will be into August on Monday, the year has Nealy gone again, as you get older the days don't seem to wait for any one, or months,only 8 months till my Son is married, now that is scary, and I haven't done a thing about trying to get some weight off.
So this week I promise my self to try and walk each day ~ 30 min ~ follower my points ~ and stay away from people who have in the last week upset me,~ to be positive in my talking, and get out of the house and try and visit a few friends ~
AT MY MUMS GRAVE...
Hoping you Have a blessed week ~

Having silence in your life
When one brings God back into their life ... Every thing goes right again..this has happened to me!
Well God isn't going to give up on me to easily, I was challenged by a friend last week ...and I am going to take the challenge up, but I realized I needed to pray about it and put my self into Gods presents ..
I believe having silence in my life gives me the ability to be more open to the lords will
