I think it was a couple weekends back where I was attending an online church service. Now I can't remember which one. I should have written this while everything was fresh on my mind.Though it is still on my mind so here we go. The pastor spoke of the evidences of love and made 3 points. Oh here found the church link www.countrysidebible.org

evidences of love ~ 1) Do you value Him more than anything else, realizing His value in your life and knowing Him.....2) Do you love Gods people...In scripture says if we love Him then tend His sheep...one who does not love another does not love God....Are we a liar when we say we love God? Do you love His people..enjoy to be around all his people..visit them when they are sick....3) Do you keep His commandments....Scripture He says he who loves me keeps my word...Do we seek Christ in His say about each situation....Do you seek to obey His commands....Do you love Jesus Christ!! God forgives, God gives us the ability to change, Jesus gave us life through love, a love for us so great that He gave His own life so that we might live.........Meditate on Him pray and read scripture, receive His love daily and your love will grow for Him daily.

I have been thinking about evidences of love for God lately. Before this service I was really irradiated at someone who says they love God when clearly by their (secret) actions it is not so. When we allow things to get in between us and God like un-confessed sin that is NOT loving God. If one does not repent (turn from sin)then love is not there 'cause you are putting yourself first. Anyway this is for God to take care of on this particular person. This person can be doing some wrestling that I don't know about. What I see as deception may be something else. Or I could be right either way it is Gods business.I can't allow bitterness to build up must give back to God. So here we go it comes back to me and truly LOVE.

When reading scripture we really need to look in the mirror. I think far to often we "christians" think of someone else like oooh so and so really needs to see this scripture. In actuality the words should be speaking to the reader most of the time. Gods word needs to speak loud to us to bring about actions and our actions speak louder to others than our words. Anyway to the mirror.....Am I valuing anything more than God?? Am I placing something or someone above God?? How much do I give my valuable time to God?? Gulp....Am I really loving God with my whole heart, mind and soul?? If I am honest myself I really do need to make room for love, love for God. That means less of me for one. Less of all those things I want to do. First thing that comes to mind that I could cut down on is that wonderful thing called facebook. Often I go there before I pray or read scripture. I excuse myself because I know on there I will read some scripture through my newsfeed. Though I am not really giving that time to God. I need to give more of me. Another, am I putting my children before God. All that time and energy I poor into my children do I do the same to God?? After all the more love we pour toward God spill unto our children. So loving God is where we should begin. True Love!! So this is what I am seeing I need to truly whole heartily love God because He first loved me. I am not doing this...Our love must grow daily for Him...Love never fails, we fail to love!! Now that I see love must grow daily within me I must act upon that love for love is an action not a thought.

I am going to challenge myself, hope you join me, to truly love. I only touched on one point today. So I'll work on that one point. Next week I will touch on the second point of love. Challenge....Less of me more of Him. First act; 3 day break from facebook. I will begin tomorrow since I already was on there today. What is God calling you to give up or use or do less of?? Lets put God first!

Join me and take action and truly Love!! May we not be liers but lovers of our Lord, by the grace of God...<3

After the Blizzard is gone and the sun shines brightly and the wind blows ever so lightly. You here the birds singing, rejoicing in such a beautiful day. Reminded of Gods wonders and grateful for the blizzards passing. Grateful for the new day, we savor its very first day. When cabin fever is gone and we step out into the sunshine. We enjoy Gods creations with our friends and family, taking it all in while it lasts.






We just recently had us a pretty good snow storm, cold enough to keep us in for a week. Icy enough to keep the schools closed for 4 days. Now the ice has gone the sun shines and an awesome breeze blows through the air. I here of the cold returning to play so taking in these gorgeous days. And Oh how we enjoy these days all the more after the storm.







Another horrific storm is when sickness or tragedy hits. Sickness has hit my family numerous times. Sickness is even more horrific when one already has an illness. Recently my 3 year old son who has type 1 diabetes came down with a stomach virus. No fever but throwing up regularly. No appetite for food and could barely even keep his water down. He had large diabetic ketones. He was very sick I talked to on call endo doc, she help me with sick days for type 1 diabetics and she said if he didn't get better take him to the ER. We followed her instructions and one of the things we had to do is give him insulin even though his blood glucose was NOT high and even though he was not eating because of risk of DKA. The fear of DKA (Diabetic ketoacidosis) and a low (Hypoglycemia) was there. We were walking on egg shells. Many many extra BG checks. And medicine to try and stop him from getting sick. Finally he stopped getting sick. A relief though still not out of the woods. We needed to make sure the ketones was gone. After much water and some insulin the ketones were finally gone. Major relief there we could stay home we didn't have to head to the hospital. Praising God!!! It took another day before he gained his appetite and energy back. Such a joy to have him home and well!!! It was beautiful out when he was sick to ill to go out in it. So I said soon he would be better and I would take him to the park and we would feed the ducks. God helped me keep that promise and gave us more beautiful days. As soon as he got well he remembered and asked to go to the park and feed the ducks. So off we went me and the little guy to the park. He was so excited to see all the ducks coming toward him to eat the bread as he tossed it to them! I was so excited to see his excitement and to take in such a beautiful along side him!! The ice is gone....Look and see what the Lord has done!!!

I am so grateful several days now my little man has been feeling great!! He is up playing around again with all his imaginary play :) Yesterday he was dancing and singing while big sisters watched and laughed at his little cuteness :) He made up his own little song and his own little dance LOL too cute. My bundle of joy I must capture every moment his siblings have grown so fast and I know so will he...Ups and downs everyday...his cuteness and his little imaginary play puts a smile on my face I so hate that he has to live with diabetes. The daily shots and the BG roller coasters...

We have been battling the BG's been working on getting those levels down. With a toddler it is so hard. There appetites vary and they want to nibble on something constantly. I was so happy to see below 200 yesterday. Praying we will see more of those today.

Today another day ready to tackle the ups and the downs as we go about our day. Many tasks ahead with joy and sorrow woven in between. Many colors weave each day and blanket us with our Heavenly Fathers love...<3 May we feel His warm embrace as we journey along.

So many days of not posting urrrr. I really like to treat this as a journal and hopefully someone out there can relate or be encouraged in at least something I write. Just living our lives one day at a time.



This week we have been experiencing real winter weather here in Texas!! First ice then snow. Local schools were closed 4 days in a row!! It is a bit cold here in the house so layers of clothing and under the blanket. Even though I have been doing a lot of sitting I have been some what productive since I have been working on my real estate course. Setting goals and should have the course I am currently working on done by this week end. Since neighboring schools have been closed I gave my children a brake from school as well. Which gave me more time for mine.

My little man has spent much time sitting next to me. He has felt a bit under the weather not real active and a bit cranky. No fever or cold just inactive. Which the cold weather kind of does that to you. So for the first couple of days that is why I thought he was inactive. Now I am seeing differently. Blood glucose has been up and down. He is not himself. He doesn't know what he wants to eat when finally he agree on something he only eats a little then ask for something else. Doing this even more than usual. He also has been telling me his tummy hurts a little bit. The has happened with him before and he was checked out for celiac disease. I won't get into all that now. Though they found that there was no damage to the intestine so they see that he does not have celiac disease.They did have some findings something about an allergen and an unusual bacteria that they treated him for. He had been doing fine lately just seems to get this way every now and then. It has been along time since he last acted this way. I keep saying I am going to record what he eats to see if he has some kind of allergy to something he eats. It is hard to do though because he is so picky and keeping track is no easy task. Praying he will back to his self soon.

That is all for now...Thanks for stopping by RroadWeTravel
