Join the Rat Race? Even Rats Rest Once and a While

I want to again thank those of you who have been signing up for the RSS feed on this site. It is a good way to keep up on what is going on. When you sign-up you are notified every time I post.

I am pretty excited about being able to be one of the authors who will be signing their books at the Oregon State Fair, in Salem Oregon this year. It is a great opportunity to meet new people, and get the word out about my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

The fair runs from August 26th-September 5th. I will be there 12 hours  a day, every day. If I live through it alive I will be blessed. (I will be blessed even if I don’t live through it! 🙂

If you live close, please drop by and say hello. Above all, if you would be so kind, could you tell a couple thousand of your closest friends that I will be there?

I had a high school class reunion on Saturday. It was good to see so many of my classmates there. Had dinner with two of them. I even sold two books. That was a nice bonus.

Why is it is so hard for people to be submissive? That seems to be a dirty word with a lot of people, because they have to give up something. They are not willing to stop their sins, or so called freedoms, and submit to God.

Is it so hard to give up that fancy boat, or car? Do you need to live in that mansion?

I have felt I would like to live the “better,” life many times. I see a house on the top of a hill that has six bedrooms, and a four car garage, and wonder how nice that might be?

The I wonder if I would really be happy? Wouldn’t I then want an even bigger house, because the neighbors down the road build a house with one more bedroom? Maybe they had a fancier car? I may want to go  and buy a better one just to say I had the best car in the neighborhood.

It gets crazy. It like we all are in a rat race to out do each other. Well, think on this…. even rats rest once and a while!  

I have decided that I am “okey dokey” with what I have. I can be happy with what God has given me.

As a matter of fact, Joshua said it for me… “For me and my house, We will serve the LORD.”

Remember: Never, ever, give up!

Another day to do something special for the LORD.

We should be getting up each day and praying for guidance as to what we can do to glorify God. We don’t need to get up and wonder what we can do to better ourselves. If we serve God properly, we will better ourselves through serving Him.

___________________________________________________

I may have announced this before, but I will be at the Oregon State Fair in Salem, Oregon, from August 26th-September 5th signing my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” I hope to see you there if you live near.

I wonder if we really believed in ourselves what we could really accomplish. I have had several ideas, through my life, where if I had really tried I may have done something great. I stopped short many times, because I felt I wasn’t capable of completing the task.

Have you done the same? Have you had something you have always wanted to try, but put it on the back burner, only to have it die out?

Don’t let it happen again. I’ve  learned to listen to God when He is suggesting something, and see it through. It may take a few twists and turns, but if you stay with it you will be pleased of the outcome.

I never, ever, dreamed I would someday have a published book. That wasn’t even on my radar.

I was a teacher for 22 years, and then retired. I searched for what I should do next. I floundered in failure trying several things. Why? Because they weren’t what God wanted me to do. He had plans for me, and I was trying to wing it on my own.

God wanted me to write, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”  It came about in a shocking way considering I had to get to the end of my rope, and was considering checking out of the hotel called earth before God finally woke me up.

I won’t go into details, but God stopped me from checking out, and directed me to write. I did, and I have been very blessed from the many people who have thanked me after they bought the book, and they say it helped them cope.

I Had a Dream! I Stopped Letting Walls Stop Me

I had a dream! In my dream I felt that I could accomplish a great deal if I just believed in myself. Too often we all stop moving forward because we don’t have confidence in our abilities.

In my dream  I stopped letting walls stop me. I turned all the walls over to God, and I knew He was much taller and stronger than any wall.

I dreamed of crossroads that where I made the right decisions and go the path that God has chosen for me, and not the road that Satan wants me to go on.

I dreamed that 99% of everything I worried about never really happened, and I  turned to other 01% over to God.  

This doesn’t have to be a dream my friends. All of it is right there for you. All you have to do is believe in yourself and God.

With God on your side, who can be against you?
