Even with the lay off, the never ending financial trouble we seem to be having and him going through major back surgery he still finds time to comfort me in my little break downs.
He is the best husband!
I LOVE HIM!!!!!

January 8 Genisis 2
Ok so I know I said in an earlier post that I would be going through the Bible in a wierd fashion but I realized that I probably needed to read it in order for some passages to even make sense to me. So last night I read Genisis 2.
It always amazed me that God rested on the 7th day. He did not need to rest and then I heard a pastor one day say that God rested on the 7th day for us to follow his example. Then it all clicked. I am not sure I have gotten that 7th day of rest down pat yet. Maybe that should be my new years resolution (usually don't make one) that one will be great for my body and emotions and soul and it is God honoring to boot.
Question? In chapter 1 man was created but vs 5 of ch 2 says that there was no man to work the ground. How is that possible.
Vs 23. Love it. I am one flesh with the man I love. The man that God brought to me. I am thankful for Matt.

January 8, 2008 Proverbs 8
Proverbs 8: 22-31- is a description of Christ. Just one of many old testament passages that describe Christ before he came as a flesh and blood human to give up his life for me on the cross.
I can never thank Him enough with words.
I love Him

Exodus 1
When Israel entered Egypt there were 70 of them, not counting Joseph and his Egyptian family.
Not exactly sure the time frame between verse 7 and verse 8 but apparently there was enough time that had elapsed that the people and the pharaoh did not know of Joseph or the things that he did for Egypt. This little piece of history could have saved the Israelites from a life of slavery, but as we learn in our society some of history is left out and we never learn from it.
The more the Israelites were oppressed the more they multiplied. God blessed them with families even in their tough time. Why, with all of the numbers of Israelites, did they allow themselves to be taken as slaves. They very easily could have overtaken the Egyptians. I know I know God had them right where He wanted them, but still looking back you wonder why they did not stick up for themselves. God would have used that too, Right????
I don't understand why they let the girls live and the boys they were to kill. If there were no girls there would not be any more Israelites eventually.
So sad that what we don't understand we fear. We think we would learn from reading history both Biblical and secular that we would get past that, but apparently not. We probably think that situations like that could not happen to us.

January 5, 2009 Proverbs 5
Warning against adultery.
I have always heard that if you think you are safe in your relationship then you probably arent. The worst thing you can say is it can never happen to me. To make sure that adultery or other things never happen to you is to be open to the fact that something could happen and you take precautions against it.
I had before I got married had it in my mind that I would not go to lunch with another man that was not a relative. Even if it was business. I would either have my husband there or a female coworker. Some people think that is going overboard, I would rather go overboard and do everything that I can to keep my marriage safe instead of thinking it could never happen to me and neglect the gift that God has given me and that is a loving husband and a great marriage.

Genisis 1
I am going to try something that came to mind. We will see how it works.
I am going to read the 1rst chapter of each book of the Bible and then move on to the second chapter and the third and so on.... You get the idea.
So Here we go.......
In verse two the earth was with out form and void and it was dark. The spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. Maybe light was created first because darkness and God can not be in the same spot at the same time.
Day one: Day and night were created. Separation of the dark and the light.
Day two: God separated the waters into Heaven (or sky) and the waters under the expanse (what will eventually turn into the oceans or the seas and lakes). The whole earth was covered with water. No dry land appeared at this day.
Day three: God pulled all of the water together and called them seas, and the dry land appeared. God saw that it was good. After the earth was separated from the water God spoke into being vegetation, plants, and fruit trees. God saw that it was good.
Day four: Lights were put in the heavens to separate the day from then night. The lights were used for signs and seasons, and for days and years. (people could use this verse to validate astrology.... I would have to say the signs are different signs than astrology). God created a greater light (sun) and a lesser light (moon).
Day five: Creation of living creatures in the water, birds,
Day six: creation of livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth, according to their kind. Creation of "men" and men were given dominion over the fish, and the birds, and the livestock and every creeping thing on the earth. (This creation of man was before Adam and Eve in the garden. God told them to be fruitful and multiply. God created people to occupy the earth before he placed any one specifically to tend the garden. God Created Adam and Eve after the seventh day of rest. How cool is that). All the people and animals were given every green thing for food. Everything was very good on that day.

January 4, 2009 Proverbs 4
I can not believe it is 2009. Where did the year go. 2009 will be better than 2008. We start out the year with a lay off and a back surgery. During the middle of the year we will have a graduation (AG will graduate from high school). After Thanksgiving we will have another graduation to celebrate. I will graduate from college. I am so looking forward to that. So much to look forward to. I can't wait.
Proverbs 4
vs 26 and 27. "Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil."
This is great just because it is nice to know that we were instructed to stay to the path and our ways will be sure. It is sometimes so hard to turn your "foot" away from evil. Sometimes, evil is just inviting.
Gotta love things to work on.
