Uncommon heroes

Finally another post.  I am not sure anyone reads this, but if they do, I am sure they or should I say he/she is not impressed at how often I write.  

I listen to KLOVE every morning, while getting ready and on my way to work.  Last week they had a call-in for uncommon heroes.  I don't know if I have any living heroes in my life, maybe one or two, but I do know someone that I am very impressed with.  I will not mention any names, but if she reads this she will know who it is about.  I have known this woman for many years and in fact taught her children.  I spent several years being out of contact with her.  I have been around her again the last couple of years and am very impressed with what she is allowing God to do in her life.  She has the spirit and joy that makes others want to be around her.  She leads and works with adults, children, and those less fortunate.  I saw her in Walmart one day helping a girl buy school clothes.  She gave of her time and energy to help this girl be ready for the school year with new clothes and supplies.  I have noticed other things that she does above and beyond without wanting any recognition.  So keep it up, you are a role model to the rest of us.  Thanks.

Let God be in Control

Long time no post. I have been busy, well more like lazy. The school year is going fast, which means my grandbaby will get here quicker.
In a previous post I wished my son-in-law a happy birthday and mentioned his surf lessons in Galveston. I thought at the time that it was a realy nice, thoughtful present. Now I really wish I had given him a gift certificate to McDonalds. He has surfing fever (Big Mac fever would be better) and is wanting to head to California and take my daughter with him. I know he is not just wanting to go to surf or to take Kara-Kae and my future grandchilren away from me, but is wanting to serve God.
My devotional this morning and Bible reading came from Proverbs 3. Proverbs 3:5 says to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding", but it is not always easy. I know we should live our lives doing our best to follow and honor God, and let him handle the rest, but sometimes it is so hard. I know we should go and do what God wants, even if it is not where we think we might be happiest.
A statement in my devotion that I think is appropriate is that if you are trying to climb back onto the throne of your life and that you've taken God's sceptor of control back from Him is when you're anxious, stressed, or worried. If you find yourself there, stop. Relax. Return the reigning to the king. I need to do this and rely on God.
