A Word
The computer was acting up so we took it not once not twice but three times to get fixed. I am still catching up on e-mails. Some I can automatically delete while others I have to wade through because they involve issues I need to speak out on....
So to catch you up on "things", (1) Doug is still working on the "vision" for his business that God gave him. It is painfully slow but I know He is teaching us many things along the way....(2) We are happy and blessed with our church and all that God is doing....(3) I am pleased to announce that I am going to give Creative Memories a try again as far as the business end! I will be an active consultant by April under my friend and colleague, Shana Brock whom I actually started with 9 years ago!
She is a born-again Christian and has done phenomenally well with 47 people underneath her so I will be in good hands. I'm not looking to make a big business out of it but will be content to get my products at a discount and help others discover the joys of scrapbooking and preserving memories for future generations.....
Anyway, my first intent was to share an excerpt from my devotional (yesterday's actually) with you:
"When our deepest desire is not the things of God, or the favor of God, but God Himself, we cross a threshold. Less self-focus, more God-focus. Less about us, more about Him. this calls for the death of ego. It rubs us the wrong way. It's a truth we must constantly remind ourselves of. "God made all things, and everything continues through him and for him. To him be glory forever" (Rom. 11:36 NCV). And if you still haven't got the message: "There is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we exist for Him" (ICor. 8:6 NLT). Why does the earth spin? For Him. Why do you have talents and abilities?
For Him. Whose Word matters? His. Whose will must be done? His, not ours. God's to-do list consists of one item: "Reveal My
glory." Heaven's framed and mounted statement of purpose reads: "Declare God's glory." Everything and everyone exists to
reveal His glory--including you! Try to remember that."
I'm not trying to sound or be super-spiritual or to send anyone any "messages". I just wanted to share something I read that
spoke to me.....Will you pray for me? I want to be God-focused and bring glory to Him in all that I do.....
Love you guys!

Very uplifting- everything is truly about Him and when we seek Him is when we find contentment.
Glad to have you back in blog land.
Computers stink.
That reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:31, "...do all to the glory of God."
By the way, I have this great website that makes for a good Home page. It gives you a daily bible verse, but that's not all. It has numerous translations available, as well as commentaries and dictionaries. Interested? It's http://www.christnotes.org/dbv.php
That is such a good quote. I'm glad you posted it. It's so easy to get caught up in our tiny little worlds and though we still attempt to worship God sometimes we forget that we are here to serve His kingdom and not our own. We serve, He blesses.
Awesome word~even in the little things it is ALL about HIM!
So happy you will be joining CM again!!!
