2007 was really a....um....er...yucky year. (to say the least) I am hoping that 2008 is better.
Kinda down right now and need some inspiration to reach for. I am a person constantly on the go and always busy, and it is really difficult for me to sit back and watch and do nothing. ( I almost feel as though I am sinning) But I believe that the Lord has just kinda Zapped me down for the last few months and not allowed me to be able to "move" people like I once did...ie...I'm not motivated, so when YOU aren't motivated....you can't motivate others, right, duh!!!!
Well, I'm actually in a fox hole at the moment awaiting the respite of the enemy. Been in here a while and it's getting kinda cramped and I don't "wait" very good. I KNOW that if I come out on my own, I will get clobbered, but I'm getting kinda claustophobic in here and I"m tired of the dark and "wet" smell (what I imagine a sod house would smell like, yucky). I'm tired of holding my breath every time I turn around cause I"m afraid I've been found by the wrong person.
Someone told me I needed to get mad, but I just don't have the energy. I should be crying as I type, cause I usually do, but just don't have the energy or anymore tears cause they've already been cried out.....
I'm actually whinning. I shouldn't be....I've got it better than most....Poor Sweet Sis. Alvear and her situation...Ronzo and his situation......lots of other folks who have it a lot worse than me, and here I am whinning....
I just need prayer!!!(it doesn't help that the Skinner is not home for the next few days....he's..............HUNTING!!!)eng uin
Anyways, just pray for me and John Robert while Daddy is away.
Keep the themes coming. I need all the help I can get.
Sister Coonskinner, maybe your theme for this year ought to be “be still” it seems that is what the Lord is trying to get you to do? Remember the Prohpet? God got him in a cave, and showed him the wind. But God wasn’t in the wind. God showed him the fire, but God wasn’t in the fire. God showed him the earthquake but God wasn’t in the Earth Quake. God was in the still small voice!
Be still and know that I am God.
Paul said it this way “when you have done everything, just stand still. Be ready but STAND STILL”
God has ordered your steps. All the steps that have led to this set, you accepted as “ordered of the Lord” don’t you think if He ordered those, he is ordering these?
I hope I have not over stepped. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

I don't have a fancy catch phrase but I feel that 2008 is going to be a great year. I'm coming out of a self induced shell that caused me to separate myself from people as a whole and religious folk specifically. This is going to be a year that the healing of the past year has brought about. God is going to move (if I may speak churchy for a bit) in my family as a whole. I have a feeling that it is going to be the same with my friends as well.
Overused as a feel-good thing but I'll use it anyway. I believe that this is the year that will be a year of rising out of the ashes. It will be more than just a restoration but a bringing to a higher level of spirituality than ever before through the grace of God. I think that this will be effecting not just spiritual but physical as well.
I'm not a prophet nor do I claim to be a spiritual giant -- but there is a feeling in my bones that I can not explain. One of anticipation. One of expectation. And one of exuberance.
