Barb, I just read DEB's post and I understand from my friend a teacher, that you had better be sure you get the reall Crock the knockoffs, don't work and she broke some bones in her feet wearing them. Good luck I know something about sore feet, my Dr. just told me mine is gout, I was so surprised, I guess my chocolat binge in Sep. was more costly than I thought it would be.
I have 29 of us written in my prayer book, God save us all with Your love!

"I call out to High God, the God who holds me together. He sends orders from heaven and saves us. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word. Psalm 57;2-3

WOW,CFE! I sure am sorry that they knock off Crocs hurt your friend! I have a few friends that wear the knock offs, but I tried a pair on and they are NOT the same. They are made out of a different kind of stuff and aren't as comfy as the Crocs. I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt!

Prayed for everyone again last night, including brokenbird's family. Sounds like God needed her back. I have never "met" her on here but from the posts, sounds like she was a VERY special lady.

Smiles!

Ah Ha! cfe is Cheri. Nice name. Glad you felt comfortable enough to share it! I am so glad we are praying for each other. I am learning so much from this program. It amazes me. What a gift from God. I love the Bible verses people are inserting. I like the idea of putting a little devotional in, too. So if anyone feels, like it, we can get a boost from reading thier entry.
I'm having really bad panic attacks today. Woke up in the night with them, so it's hard to pin point and use the six steps. I do way better when I catch them before they take off!!
Anyway, I pray for you all and thank God for you.
love,
Carol

Thank you Carol I am feeling more comfortable, I am so sory you are having such a bad day, we were talking about lesson 10 yesterday, how much humer helps, I mentioned May West, she was a movey star in the old films. I loved her atttiude, my favorite line was after a man asked her if she cared if he smoked, and she said "Honey I don't care if you burn." funney that line just cracks me up. I am still a bit more sarcastic than I would like to be, but it did serve me well growing up.

My prayers go out to all of you, for your highest good, I was reminded tonight that we as humans can't always recognize a Good Day. When Abraham took Isak up on the mountin to sacrafice him, I bet he had a bad day. I doubt anything he did went very well thinking about what he was about to do, but in God's plan it was a very Good Day.

Learning to walk in obedience where we are prepares us for the next level into which God wants to take us. Obedience prepares us for promotion. We cannot wait until the "glory days" hit and then get prepared. Preparation preceds promotion. "Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposelfully and worthily and accurately..... as wise (sensible, intelligent prople). Making the very most of the time" Ephesians 5:15,16

I believe we are, every day, being prepaid for Promotion. God Bless you

Good Morning, got an extra day off from work as my boss is out of town. Nice! I had the opportunity to take my six and eight year old grand daughters to the bus stop this morning as their parents had to leave early for a trip out of town. It was so fun to see those little girls. What dears they are. Wasn't it a great thing that God made us in different ages, so we could enjoy them all? First ourselves, and also in others. I love being a mom , even though I am worried about my daughters current behavior. I love my son and his wife so much we have been through some very rough times as a family. I love being a grandma.God continues to give me strength and I hope one day my children will come to the place where they let him be their Lord and master as well as their savior. I have faith in God. Got a terrific e mail from my coach. It is from New Life Ministries located at: <A HREF="http://www.newlife.com/Articles/Article.asp?libid=23" TARGET=_blank>http://www.newlife.com/Articles/Article.asp?libid=23</A>
The part I particularly liked is 7. Now to him (God) who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory. (Ephesians 3: 20-21). You have never prayed a prayer that matches God's power. You have never asked for anything that has fully tapped God's capabilities. Let your imagination run wild with that idea for a moment. Then ask.

Isn't that a good one? Man, I sat and cried and prayed for my daughter, and have done the same for my son and his wife in the past. God works. We pray in faith believing. We do the same in the program for one another.
love and prayers and hope and encouragement to all of you today.
Carol

Good Morning, How is everyone doing on their program? I am so thankful for it. Lesson four was difficult for me, so I took it really slow, and was amazed at how God brought to mind what I needed to work on. He's good that way! I have been praying for our prayer group and also for my September peer support group and also for people whos' posts I read on other forums. Isn't it a wonderful thing that we can go to our Heavenly Father in prayer and he knows exactly who it is we're praying for even when we don't? That is so amazing to me. To think of who He is, and to think he loves me. Grateful!!
love,
Carol

Oh my yes carol we all need the " Attitude of Gratitude" it is the key to having a good day. I wake up in the morning with all that stuff in my head trying to get my attention, and I just say Thank you God. for this new day! I have had a busy week, and today I was thinking about going to a fall festival, but here I sit, curious about the fate of the Site, I need to cast my care on God He has the power I don't! Thank God! I hope now it is all coming to a head and will dry up! I so appreciated your post, affter reading all the ones that came in last night. I missed the bible study just got in the last 10min. and it was disolved. I had wondered how it would work, and as I suspected it didn't. this thread is so comforting. I am grateful it is still here to come to. thank you for your prayers, "for wear 2 or more are gathered together, He will be with us. God Bless you and yours, and all of them I have written in my book from this thread, God Bless them with dicernment, and compation.

We only learn to trust God by doing it. We grow in grace by practicing putting our faith or trust in God and receiving His grace in situations that are difficult or impossible for us. Grace is the favor and power of God's Spirit providing help for us to accomplish whatever needs to be accomplished.

Somethimes we put our faith in God, and He gives us greace for a deliverance, At other times we put our faith in God, and He gives us grace to "go through," We must leave that choice to Him and know that either way we can have victory, but only by grace through faith........Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldy draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God is unmerited favor to us sinner). that we may receive mercy for our failures and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]...Hebrews 4:16

I thank God for His grace, and pray it over us all. God Bless you reall good
