It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Trouble, Taxes and Trust

TROUBLE: I am having trouble uploading my files. I can't edit any of my web sites, and I have been unable to figure out the problem. Sooo frustrating. I am praying for my computer, the server and me.

TAXES: What a day! We're trying to do our income tax returns. We use Intuit Tax software and it's pretty good, but it doesn't find lost info when you've put it away somewhere safe in tho office so you'll have it for tax time. The software does do a decent job of walking you through your return and you can see exactly what you have already done. Now, if it could just find the funds to pay what we owe... much more than expected.

TRUST: I choose to trust the Lord. He is in control even when I am not. He has never let me down. Oh sure, I have had to endure pain, heartache and troubles, just like anyone else. The difference is I know my Lord loves me and will not allow anything without purpose and a good outcome in the end. He has also saved my bacon time and again and performed some pretty amazing miracles for me. He is, indeed, the author and finisher of my faith.

TODAY: The wonderful ladies of the
Women of Grace met today as we do every Thursday morning. They enrich my life! My sweet hubby cooked dinner for us! A rarity. He scrambled eggs to serve with hamburger steaks and biscuits. Very tasty!

TOMORROW: Good Friday. There will be a noon church service at
First Baptist Church. I will be there, God willing. I will contemplate that long ago Friday when Jesus suffered more than any man has ever suffered... and I will remember that He did it for me... and you.

Meanwhile, I pray for my computer and money to pay the taxes... and I praise God because these small things are the extent of my woes. How good is our God!
