Revive Me, Oh Lord

I have been blessed with the opportunity to go back to school completely free. All I have to pay for is text books. I am currently enrolled in 2 Bible classes, Wisdom Literature and Acts. The other classes are Ethics and Microeconomics. So I am technically a full time student again. While in these classes the Lord is really laying a lot on my heart. In Wisdom Lit we are talking about Job. How do I attend this class and not get my faith shaken. I know I should be striving to live for Christ, I know I need to be working harder and I feel these classes are showing me that even more. I am reading the Bible more and more, I have to for class. This is helping me read the Bible a little more too. These classes are making me want to learn more. The professors are helping as well. I feel God is using all of this to REVIVE ME. This I am so excited about. I feel like God is actually saying, "Are you ready to take that leap yet." I feel like taking classes was the leap I needed to take for now but I have to keep listening to God. I want to keep my ears open, I don't want to miss out on what God is trying to tell me. So I am really excited to see what comes next! For the first time I am actually excited to be living in Grayson again!

This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.

Zumba

Just did my first day of Zumba. It is tough but I am hoping I can stick with it. Not really trying to loose weight just trying to get more active!!

My prayer

I can hear her saying,

“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?

Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”

My husband absolutely loves this song and I find it quite ironic. This is exactly what I am crying out to him. I feel so lonely. I have incredible friends and he is a great husband but I feel he is just going on through life with the cruse control on. Just getting by with what he has to do but not doing the extra stuff. I know I am guilty of the same with my relationship with God but I feel I need Josh to be my spiritual leader as well. I feel I am missing that. I am missing something and not sure what to do with this knowledge. I can only encourage him so much, I can't make him do anything. I am just stuck. All I can do is pray I guess. I guess I just need God to take over from here. Why didn't I think of this before. Why didn't I think to involve God in all of this.

Dear Lord,
I want to pray right now for my husband. I pray you can lead him to be a strong leader for this family. I pray you can make him spiritually fit. Help him grow closer to you and to just simply read your word everyday. This itself will help him tremendously. Help him find out what he needs to do to get closer to you. Thank you for putting him in my life but now I need your help, I need you help so much!
I love you Lord.

New Catalog

I just received my new Thirty-One catalogs today and I am super excited about where things are going to go from here. Last month I had an awesome month. I almost made $1,000 in parties making my paycheck just shy of $200. Not too bad for havin' girls' nights and showing off purses. The new products are beautiful. I love the new patterns and I love the new specials we have coming up. I have 4 parties to do next month and I possible have 2 new recruits. I am so excited about my business. It has been a slow start but I can feel it is going to begin to flourish. I am praying God continues to use me to bless other women and to use this business as a ministry for Him!!
