Memorizing Scripture

Hello Siestas, Friends and Family
I have started that memorizing scripture technique and I thought I would give you a report. Thus far I have memorized all 5 of my topical references and my first scripture to go with my first reference. The technique works. For those of you that desire to memorize scripture and have always had a hard time with it, this method works. Try it for yourself.


I have not heard from some of you in a while. I pray all is well.

Life here has been very crazy and we are in need of alot of prayer. Where do I begin- first off we have come to realize that we did not discern the voice of the Holy Spirit in moving to Texas. The whole reason why we came was for a job opportunity for Samuel out of construction, working with his brother. Within a month we could see that the "opportunity" he offered was not quite panning out as he (being Sam's brother) stated. By February Samuel had to make a decision on whether to continue to work for his brother for the "training" income he was giving him, which was only paying food, and gas or go find a different job, which of course he chose the latter. He went back to construction.

The job he has now is not unfamiliar to him. In fact he is working for the same company he worked for when we lived in Texas before. The problem there is he is being taken advantage of by his supervisor/ brother. Yes another brother. His brother knows that Sam was in his position and knows all there is to know on how to do his job(his brother) So he uses Sam to do his own work, and be successful, as well as use Sam to the fullest extent without the pay. Samuel is not being paid for being a supervisor. Needless to say my husband is frustrated. He is frustrated because he was manipulated by his eldest brother to move here and now he is being taken advantage of by his other brother. He is not above working hard, he is not above doing whatever the job requires and more, but he also is not dumb, he can see when someone is using him to make themselves look good. The pay is ok- at the rate that things are increasing around us, we are not going to survive, what we make is what we have to pay out in rent, food, gas, insurance, and car payment.

So please lift my husband in prayer- he is frustrated, discouraged, and so unsure of what to do. He does not want to make any haste decisions based on his frustration. He needs clear answers from the Lord.

On to the next prayer thing- my family van- the only family vehicle we have has quitt working. (the only vehicle that takes us back and forth to church) We can start it but it will not stay started unless you keep your foot on the gas pedal. I just mentioned what our income was like, so taking it to a shop to fix it is not an option. Please pray- pray for a miracle because at this point that is what we are going to need.

It seems lately that Satan has been on my heels with all the things around me, first our AC caught of fire, so we have been without AC since last sunday. For those of you from Houston or even Texas know how hard it is to live without air. Praise the Lord for Hurricane Dolly- I know she did some damage, but she brought relief from the heat with her!!! Right behind the AC was my van not working, Paul (my eldest) knocked his front tooth out of his mouth. It has been a hard week for me- so please lift me in prayer Siestas, sisters, friends and family.


I love you all...

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
