A long week

Things have been a little stressful but God has been so good. Family has had several health issue. Abbie had strep that wouldn't go away with the first batch of antibiotics. My mother's spot of skin cancer on her lip came back and now she is going to have a larger section removed from her lip this week and then plastic surgeon. My pains have been acting up lately but they seem to do that with the weather gets colder.


Financially things have been a little tight. I keep looking ahead and can see that soon there will be a time when things are a little better. I want to be a good steward. I am trying to learn how to have self control and pay ahead on bills instead of wasting money on things that will only benefit us temporarily. It is very hard to give into immediate gratification. I do not want riches but it would be nice to have financial stability.


I have really enjoyed being in the Discipleship University  class on Discipleship. The information we are covering is not difficult but is amazingly simple and yet so easily missed. Learning what God expects of us.

Matthew 4:18-22

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.  “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”  At once they left their nets and followed him.   Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
