Now that we know...
I found this here (thanks Amy!) and while it is hard to watch, hard to take, and hard to admit - we need to do just that. We need to admit we are failing and come up with a plan. Oh wait-God already did that... as Audrey put it WE ARE THE PLAN. Let us never forget that. Let us never forget we are responsible. We cannot call ourselves Christians and know what we know and do nothing about it <--- thanks again Amy for all the words!)

This post is a TEST to link URL's on this NEW Blogger Site! HA I've got much to learn so please be patient :) If you're not... well, Unsubscribe! :) It's Me, God & the Internet. No 'mommy' :D *Snicker*
The SIMPLIST way I've found to link URL's aka Links is by following the directions on this page of Blogger.
And pictures I inserted two different ways... one of Abby Riggs Picture I spoke of Wed in post. Click on it & it will take you to The Riggs Family Blog

FAITH ~ "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." ~Heb 11:1
If you had read my blog Wed, I'm sorry! I questioned Faith. Today It occured to me I actually DID have FAITH when I didn't THINK I did... I used the WRONG word! There really is no other word for it's place either... besides PRAY!
Prayer is the BEST thing one can do. As it says in the Book of God (Bible). Jesus said, "Wait." As he went & prayed before going forward.
Sometimes as Humans we get so overloaded that we forget to step back & do exactly what we've just asked others to do. Oh, don't get me wrong... I did pray for 2 lil ones + Abby... but I did not pray for myself & others. I didn't set time aside & meditate. Allowing "feelings" to jump ahead of PRAYER AND MEDITATION wore me out!
Now with time in between, I've gone back & re-edited. (so nice I can do that on my own blogs.)
FAITH, yes I have Faith. I have faith that anyone who read my blog prayed! I have Faith that no matter the outcome in any situation God will take care of it! I have Faith that all the answers ARE in the Bible (we just need to look for them).
You see, I could spend an eternity reading the Bible over & over but not memorize it... Perhaps I need to STUDY it like I use to? Gee, I know of another Book that I've heard myself say alot... "It's not just the Big Book. It's our STUDY manuel for living happy, joyous and FREE!" I'm pretty well aware of what's in THAT book...
So what's the difference between the Big Book and the Bible? Isn't the BIBLE more important? I mean, it is GOD's WORD right? So WHAT makes me think I can slide thru life lately by just reading the Bible & not STUDYING it?
No wonder life gets overwhelming! I didn't stick with my morning & evening time to STUDY the Bible. I'd get up, hope there'd be a good verse or more on the computer then watch my 2 favorite ministry programs & start my day.
Here's how I see it... Prayer + Bible + Meditation put into practice = LIVING God's will. "Practice what ya preach" Oh golly gee!
So ... life goes forward, I can honestly say I am at Peace, Happy & Loving inside. As my day goes forward I ask the Good Lord to be his shining light for not only You but also for Me.
HALLELUJAH!
Amen

Wednesday Prayers...
01.28.09 ~ Wednesday Prayers...
I really don't know where this is going to lead except I will close with a link to a Special Family blog who's lil angel girl, Abby, is very ill and prayers for healing are immediately needed & wanted...
Yesterday @0015, I wrote that I'd be visiting *K* ~ didn't mention it'd be 22 BELOW Zero & car doesn't start that cold. (Will get heater core installed this summer) I did catch a ride downtown with someone who happen to be going that way.
~ I'm chuckling as I was led on a 'mouse chase' thru the Sheriff's Dept of Court House. (Good way to excercise!) One tells me he's upstairs so I go wait my turn there. No *K* @ appt time. Get lucky when a sheriff comes in a booth to see another inmates visitor waiting so get to ask "WHERE is *K*"? Off down staircase, thru hall, around corner to Jail Annex. Visitor Door LOCKED & DARK INSIDE. Over to the Annex Jailer Phone. Back to Visiting Booth & Lights come on, in walks *K*. Door Locked... He goes for help as I stand & wait, watching clock (visits are Only 30min). As I wait a friendly sheriff comes visible so I ask, "who do I see to unlock door"... he's got a key I'm IN, *K* IN... with glass between we speak over the monitored phone. He ONLY got 10d for 2nd drinking while on prob. Out on 3rd of Feb!
I'll be driving to Duluth on the 2nd alone, which is nice, for Post-Op appt. to get Staples Out (Hallelujah!) from having Ulna Nerve Transposition Surgery. (maybe *K* off again & on again umpteen x's g.f. will want to come back with me since *K* gets out the next day???). I'll call later... more will be revealed.
Visit ends with *K*, I'll be back Thursday @ 1300
Off thru Court House & Up... a Special Loving, Kind Friend is in 5th day Child Custody Trial. Now, I'd REALLY like to spill my guts here BUT attorneys have until 02.13.09 to submit Silent Closing Statements then Judge needs to make His determination; this process will take time... I can say this however... Involves Mom, her 2 orphan children & "Licensed" Daycare Providers who Currently have Temporary Sole Custody... and Should NOT let alone have already Adopted 2 CHILDREN ...
My Prayers are Non-Stop listening to CompassionArt "Freedom From Poverty"
as I deal with feelings of "ANGER, SADNESS, CONFUSION, COURAGE & SMIRKNESS as I am "~~~&~~~&~~~&~~~" ... sorry, can't say right now... and lastly I feel HOPE." Did I forget FAITH?
I'm wondering HOW ppl get to be w/children by doing what they do & STILL be allowed PRECIOUS CHILDREN of GOD??? WHY GOD WHY *Would you please find it in your hearts to PRAY for these CHILDREN?*
Wednesday (Today) ~ Went in for breast biopsy... not something I had any knowledge about! The 'novacaine' (something like it ~ I failed chemisty) is starting to wear off. Tomorrow @ 1330 I've appt. w/Surgeon to get those results. More will be revealed... Prayers would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
Did call *K*'s g.f. & so now tomorrow I get the privledge of letting him know some bad news... Good God ~ U gifted me with "Words of Wisdom along with Experience" BUT I'd appreciate a break! LOL
Now about Special lil' Abby & Riggs Family... Abby was adopted along with, last two siblings. Abby was diagnoised with a high risk, aggressive form of Leukemia in July 2008... and when you finish reading PLEASE, please join us all in prayer while linking to Wednesday Prayer Day....." http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com
We participate in "Pray for Me... Pray for Others"
If you are still reading this please do share Abby with others!
Peace, Joy & Love be with ALL,
