It's been a while since I've written. I would just like to say that God is Good! The old saying, "he never seizes to amaze me" just doesn't cut it any more. I remember once I was on the riding mower cutting grass. I have about 2 acres I have to cut. It was so hot and the mower was giving me a hard time...needs replacing. Prior to that I had been using the push mower to get into sections the riding mower wouldn't reach..so I was real tired, and the weedeating still had to be done. The sweat was pouring down my face. I wanted to quit..and just wanted to cry. But there's nothing like a bunch of sweaty tears to burn your eyes, so I was trying real hard to hold them back. I wasn't use to doing the outdoor work, but instead I started saying the "Lord's Prayer". After a few minutes I felt this wonderful breeze then all of a sudden I felt as though I had a bunch of energy and had this wonderful happy feeling...I kept mowing...then I found myself humming (wanted to sing but don't have the voice for it) but I knew it was his doing...what an amazing God..I love him so...OCEANFLOOR

I have so enjoy reading other people's post and blogs. It's a great reminder that I'm not alone in my feelings. Although we're never really alone.. spiritually that is. You know sometimes I just yell at God and ask him why he made me so human. It can be painful sometimes. I keep asking God to put himself in my place then maybe he would know what it's like to desire......then he brings peace to my heart and I feel so much better. Does God have a sense of humor?

I was born and raised in South Texas along the Mexican border. I grew up in a large Catholic family and went to church regularly. I was never really taught to read the bible and only knew it for it's pictures. I knew that were special to Jesus so I developed a love for him as a . I've always felt that God was there for me and prayed (whenever I wanted something). But I think it was a one-way street, you know, God is there for you but your not there for him.
A couple of years ago I started to feel a deep void in my life..it was terrible. Something was missing. I started to ask myself allot of questions..why am I here..what's my purpose..life hasn't been easy but surely there has to be more then this. It was an empty feeling that couldn't be filled. I had completed my education as an adult (late bloomer) had a good job (been there 21 yrs)but I felt purposeless. It's a terrible feeling. I started waking up at nights and couldn't sleep..I paced around then eventually would go back to sleep. The feeling got worse and worse. I couldn't understand what was happening to me ..it became tormenting. My radio alarm clock would ususally go off at 6:30 a.m. The usual daily music would play along with all the crude D.J. remarks but one day a religious song was playing "Heaven" then another morning the song, "I can only Imagine" was playing. It felt nice but I though it was kind of weird because this was not a religious radio station. This happened several times. To the point that I became suspious about what was happening. I had also stumbled across the Sky Angel television network and had started watching it a little bit. Then I met some Apostolic people. Didn't know anything about the Apostolics but knew they didn't do things the same way as the Catholics. Of course by now I had quit going to church. But the urge to return became pretty strong. I knew I didn't want to go back to the Catholic church. I eventually attended a couple of Apostolic services...weird..weird...but felt compelled to go back. I bought a bible and started to read it....but was still waking up a 2 a.m. every night... I would get up..walk around and found myelf talking to God..you know..things like..what do you want from me??? I want to sleep..need to sleep..I have to go to work....please let me sleep... well one morning at 2 a.m. I got down on my knees and really started praying. I gave my life to Christ that night. I told him that if he wanted me up at 2:00 a.m every night then so be it. But I also developed a love for Christ like I've never felt before..and felt the peace that he rewards you with. I then went back to bed and right to sleep. At 6:30 a.m. the radio alarm would come on and a religious song would play before going on to it's daily routine. This happened a couple of times. It finally hit me (like a brick on the head) that God was walking me up at 2:00 a.m because he wanted me to pray then would reward me with a religious song at 6:30 a.m. This went on for a while (spooky) but eventually I started doing my praying before I went to bed and guess what..I wasn't waking up at 2:00 a.m. anymore but sleeping through to 6:30 a.m. I still find myself walking up at nights sometimes, and most likely because I went to bed to early..but once in a while I do it purposely because I just want to talk to God. Eventually the 6:30 a.m religious songs quit but I've since discovered the religious radio stations and prefer those over the others. Anyway..that's all for now. Nite/Mornin'

Well it's 4:00 a.m. and I decided that this is a good time to start my blog. So on a positive note I decided to state my mood as beautiful. At least as beautiful as one can feel a 4 a.m. I enjoyed reading others blogs and wasn't too sure how to start mine but here goes. God made us so therefore we're all beautifully made.
My favorite bible verses are:
For Commitment:
Ruth 1:16-17 "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.
Because God's existence and his power over the affairs of men are assumed. Also because Esther, who worshiped God, became queen:
Esther 4:14 For if you remain silent for this who knows that relief, and delivereance for the jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will parish. But who knows that you have come to royal position for such a time as this.
Enough for tonight or should I say morning. I have other favorite verses to share but will save those for later. nite/mornin'
