Today is a new day.

I have already written this on my facebook, but hey, I can write it here too huh! I get this email every day that is a daily devotional called Prime Time with God and today's was amazing. Have you ever had an experience that you just knew that God was speaking that to you in this very moment because that is exactly what you need to hear?? Well this was that moment for me this morning here is what it said:

Today's Prayer
Dear God, Thank you for new beginnings. When one door closes, another door opens. Change is not always easy, but sometimes necessary and in our best interests. I am so glad that you offer us opportunities to change for the better. I trust you because you know the future and you want what is best for us. Help me, my family, my friends, my fellow PRIME TIME family members, to make wise decisions, to trust in your guidance, to follow your lead, and to know what is your will versus the tricks of Satan or our own selfish desires. May we always do your will and walk your way. I know you will bless us and you will be glorified when we do. In Jesus' name I offer my thanksgiving and praise to you. Amen.

Well I guess this could be a lot of moments for me. Travis and I have moved around from state to state following the Army around and it gets a little difficult to make friends. We moved to Alabama in September of 2008 and stared going to a little church in the little town that we live in (are you getting that the town the Army has moved us to is SMALL) and I made some GREAT friends there, but time has passed and for whatever reason we all have grown apart and it breaks my heart. Really.

I am a V E R Y social person and it's hard for me to sit around. I know what your thinking... get a job. I have a job. I am a nurse and I work 16 hour shifts mostly on the weekend, which depending on the week gives me 4 or 5 days off. To sit around. I dig in the word and do bible studies by myself, but I get lonely at times with Travis gone all the time and Kylie in school.

This was a word I needed to hear from God today. That doors close, some doors slam, doors open, sometimes it's a window that's cracked that you have to sneak in by the grace of God :o) but it's not easy. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes we think that it's unbearable. But it's not unbearable. God will never give us one single thing that we can not handle in our lives. That is hard for me to understand at times. Maybe this is one of those times. I'll just sit back and listen to some music. That seems to always turn my focus back to him.

On another note, we started to go to another church recently. Crossroads Community Church. I am liking it.... except that they do not have a Wednesday night service (because sometimes that is the only church I get because of working the weekends), also they don't have any bible studies going. But Sunday service is great, and Travis likes it a lot. Maybe I should start a bible study there?? I don't know. I am afraid that they would tell me no.

Well there is my thoughts for this 5th day of June. Have a gloriously blessed day everyone!! Keep Him first...
