But for you who revere my name,
the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings.

Malachi 4:2 NIV

Almighty and everlasting God, who kindled the flame of your love in the heart of your holy martyr Bernard Mizeki: Grant to us, your humble servants, a like faith and power of love, that we who rejoice in his triumph may profit by his example; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Working On My Final Project.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady.

Romans 5:3-4 TLB

Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Scripture


Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:28-30 NRSV

Well, it looks like things have been changing here on Xanga. I have been hearing the news. This was my very first blog site I had. Now, it looks like we may be departing.

 I have though about what to do. I was shocked by the news. Things have been changing over the years. Things cost.  I'm thankful that I was apart of Xanga since Nov 13, 2006. It's been 6 years on the journey. And perhaps the end.

I've been looking through some of what I've written. I didn't what to look what I have posted. But it appears that I will. 6 years in downloading? I posted just about every single day.

I've copied my family history posting and posted them on my ancestry.com site.  I will continue to be here till the end or whatever. I don't know how things will end up. I have to makes some choices by July 15.

May the Lord guide us in what to do.
Amen.

Thanks for reading.
Susan

I'll continue to post scriptures and less blogging.

Scripture:
With my whole heart have I sought thee; O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.... I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Psalm 119:10 - 11 KIV

Almighty God, you have revealed to your Church your eternal Being of glorious majesty and perfect love as one God in Trinity of Persons: Give us grace that, like your bishop Basil of Caesarea, we may continue steadfast in the confession of this faith, and constant in our worship of you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

Scripture:

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon hears. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 6: 6-7 NIV

For in Him the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority.

Colossians 2:9 - 10 NASB

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse...and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Malachi 3:10 KJV

Almighty God, you led your pilgrim people of old with fire and cloud: Grant that the ministers of your Church, following the example of blessed Enmegahbowh, may stand before your holy people, leading them with fiery zeal and gentle humility. This we ask through Jesus, the Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen.

I was looking at some of my blogs that I was planning on posting. One of them caught my attention. What my lost blog was about. It was about cutting back of some things. I can't recall what I put in that post. But here goes this one.

I was thinking about somet things that I need to cut back on. There are things in life that I believe that we should cut back on or even let go of. We don't have to keep doing every things that we think that we should.

There are some things in life we should continue to do. It's common sense. Then there are some things in our lives when we have a choice to cut back or discontinue in doing.

I can' t continue on doing some things that drain me and suck the life out of me.
Something has to give in that situation.
Me or it. We can only do so much.

May we learn to now our limits.
Lord Jesus have mercy on us.
Amen.

Thanks for reading.

I'll be doing some things different.
Posting scripture... not just blogging.
There are changes in Xanga.

Scripture
Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our heart.
My soul yearns for you in the night;
in the morning my spirit longs for you.

Isaiah 26:8 NIV

Grant, O God, that we may follow the example of your faithful servant Barnabas, who, seeking not his own renown but the well­being of your Church, gave generously of his life and substance for the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The oddest thing happened. I was doing typing a blog and had every thing ready to post. I click on saved. And it would be saved.

Yes, I was mad. I tried to recover what I wrote. It was lost. I can recall what I even posted. It was one of my on the moment post. The inspiration that was in me that the time I was typing.

It was a rainy day that day. I was about to get out my computer. I have been having internet and phone woes through the week. That could have been the problem too.

I tried to recall what my blog was about. My mind is a blank. So, I though, what should I post in replace of that blog? Well, this blog.

Maybe the thought of the other blog will come to my thinking. Or maybe I shouldn't have posted that blog. I don't know. But still I'm not happy when I couldn't save that blog.

I have gotten over the lost. I should pounder the matter. It won't do any good. So I have changed my attitude. I'm moving on. I'm keeping on keeping on.

May we continue to post no matter what.
May the Lord give us creative things to share with one another.
Amen!

Thanks for reading.
Susan

There are some change up in how I'm blogging.
Hope all is well with you.
Peace

Scripture
