Ok, I got a little creative today. I am really tired of not being able to make a calendar to use on my layout for my desktop. Well I did it today and I am gonna give them away for others of you that would like them. Please only use for personal use!  You can easily highlight the mat and change the color.  If your using PSP (hightlight the borders) go to Adjust>Color Balance>Manual Color Correction.  I also left April high enough so you can easily not use it if you don’t want to.

Get it here! Please sign my comments if you are taking my freebie, thanks!

Wow, you must think I fell of the face of the earth if you don’t read my other journal. LOL I didn’t. I have been very busy and being sick a lot. My friend told me the other day to tell my doctor’s that I am done being sick. I guess she hasn’t enjoyed it either. We haven’t been able to spend very much time in last couple of months. So I haven’t been creative either. I really want to get back to something creative. I really do. It’s just that I don’t seem to have the time right now.

I went to the eye doctor on Friday and he told me that I might get glaucoma. It may never develop but it could. My optic nerve is larger than normal. I will be having test done a week from this Friday. My glasses should also be in for me to pick up. Tuesday I am going to get fitted for contacts. I hope to get the kind that are 30 day and nights. So you wear them all the time for 30 days. I would love to be able to see when I get up from sleep. My eyes are pretty bad. I got indexed plastic lenses otherwise they may be really thick. I would rather get laser surgery to correct my eye sight but we all know with just Scott working that we don’t have it to give out. My eye doctor said it would be around $3,000. WOW! I did have braces after Scott and I married but of course he had a really great job. He could work the weekends and make almost a weeks worth. Now he has a different job so it won’t work. Oh well.

Well I better run. Almost time for bed. G’night.

Ok, I haven’t been very creative lately. Actually I haven’t been in the mood. You know how some days you feel like it and others you don’t? Well it seems more lately that I haven’t felt like it. My health hasn’t been all that great lately, either.

I went to the doctor on Friday and she told me to stop and drop. Stop eating out and try to drop down 4 to 6 lbs by Monday.  The 4 to 6lbs is actually weight due to water retention because of my heart failure.   So dropping the pounds shouldn’t be too much trouble because she upped my water pill.

I just thought you might want to know where my creativity has been in the last few months. I am not sure when it will return. Hopefully it will because I need to scrap. I haven’t done one scrap page of Max yet. Isn’t that pitiful and I have had him since October 2007.

As some of you may have noticed my blog has a few changes. The first change is that I put a new link in my About Me section called My Spiritual Blog. I have been influenced to separate this blog from my spiritual one, even though I am leaving the Verse for the Soul, CWO, and Christian Website sections up.  I still may share some spiritual stuff with you, but most likely not as much as before.

The second change is that I removed the section Let’s Talk Bible section and pages. As I have said I am separating this blog from my spiritual one. So I am moving my spiritual “blogging” over to my xanga site. If you enjoyed this section please feel free to visit me over at xanga and you can subscribe to that blog as well as this one here. Sorry if for the inconvenience.

Today, I would just like to take a look at a devotional that I receive monthly called Our Journey. It’s entry is for January 1st. I thought you might all like this one. I got a lot out of it and have reflected back to it today as well.

Who Are You?

As you look ahead to your life in 2008, I want to ask you; Who are you? What is your identity? The power of the apostle Paul’s life was that he knew who he was. In Titus 1:1, he introduced himself as, “Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ.” It is a powerful thing to walk through life with a firm confidence about who you are.

One of the most direct attacks of the enemy is against our identity. Satan tries to confuse us about who we really are. If he gets this done, he can accomplish a lot of destruction in our spirits. Satan invests a lot of energy in trying to deceive God’s children to live apart from who they really are. He wants us to live in defeat. Every time we try to take a step forward with God, he wants to throw our failures in our face and say, “You’re nothing but a disappointment. God’s not very fired up about you anymore.” That’s a lie and a direct attack on your identity. Know this:

You are not your performance; you are not your job.

You are not your net worth.

You are not who your worst critic says you are.

It matters not how lonely or popular you may feel; you are not your social network.

You are not your greatest physical flaw.

You are known and loved by the Creator of the universe.

These are some of the things God says about you:

You have been bought with a price, and you belong to God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

You have been adopted as God’s child (Ephesians 1:5).

You have been redeemed and forgiven of all your sins (Colossians 1:13-14).

You can be assured that “all things work together” for your good (Romans 8:28).

You cannot be seperated from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39).

You can find grace and mercy in time of need (Hebrews 4:14-16).

You are God’s “workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10).

In 2008, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13).

Tell yourself the truth: I am not going to listen to Satan’s evil accusations anymore. I am who God says I am.

-JAMES MACDONALD

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, who you have from God? You are not your own. 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Prayer: Father, my identity is in You. I am nothing, have nothing, and will become nothing apart from Your plan for my life. I put 2007 behind me, with all its failures and disappointments, and embrace the life You have planned for me in 2008. Help me to believe where I have doubted and embraced Your Word for my life.

Yeah, so I am once again sick.  I have either a virus or something.  It’s a cold and I haven’t been feeling good since Monday.  I actually went 3 days before getting sick.  Wow!  So yeah you know how things are at my house.  lol

Scott’s dad had back surgery today.  He seems to be recovering well.  Hopefully no pain.  Mom is staying with him at the hospital and we are babysitting for Cozmo their 90 some pound Golden Retriever.  Ellie and Max have a big guy to play with for a few days.   We are really happy to do it.  Scott and I have got them to watch Ellie for us a lot.  They even came and got her a few times when I needed to rush to the hospital and stay.  So this is the least we can do.  I think Scott is going to see dad tomorrow.

Scott took me to the hospital this am.  I was feeling much worse then yesterday and our family doctor wanted me checked out.  So Scott wasn’t able to stay with mom while dad’s surgery went on.  We were both at the same hospital.  They told me I was dehydrated and gave me IV fluids then released me.   They told me I probably have a virus so that is how I know I might.

Well I must go.  Hope everything is doing well and I’m well for the Christmas. LOL

The Golden Compass (starring Nicole Kidman) is a children’s fantasy film whose goal is to promote atheism and denigrate Christianity. The movie is a mild version of the first novel in a trilogy called “His Dark Materials,” in which the characters succeed in killing God. The atheist author admits he wants to “kill God in the minds of children.” The movie premiers on December 7, and promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children, who will so enjoy the movie that they’ll want the book series for Christmas. We have created a “collectible” gospel tract that film fans won’t be able to resist. Please consider getting these and handing them out at theaters where the film is shown.

I got this e-mail from one of my Christian e-mail subscription from The Way of the Master. Remember Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains? He is teamed up with Ray Comfort to put out this publication and website for Christians and non-Christians. Well I thought you should all know about this, if you don’t, just in case you intended on taking your kids to see it.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, I still am running a low grade temperature. I did go to the doctor’s and he said I have a sinus infection. Please pray that I can go to my Mom & Dad’s tomorrow. I promised I would spend thanksgiving with them this year and I do not want to go back on my word. Your only as good as your word, right?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Have a good one!!!
