What In The World?!

God has been so good to me. No really, He has. I'm not just saying that. This August will be nine years since He delivered me and filled me with the Holy Ghost! And over these nine, wonderful years of living for Him, He has truly given me the desires of my heart. Not just in spiritual matters or even in big major things. Although He has done that also. But I am always amazed when God gives me the little things in life too. The things I don't even think to pray for because really they are not significant to my existence. But just little things. For instance. I have never had a new couch. I was close one time. But not quite. Anyway. I had been talking to my husband about how I would like to have a new couch. I even went to some furniture stores and picked out a few I liked and was reasonable. I was going to save my money and buy it. Eventually. Well, one day I'm helping my parents paint their living room and we were talking about furniture and I tell them about the couches I had been looking at. Well, a week or so later, they decide to go buy themselves a new couch and they told me to come along a pick one also. They bought me a new couch!! Now you really have to know them to understand what a miracle that is. They don't have a lot of money themselves and they try to save as much as possible. Then I thought how lovely it would be to have a love seat. Well, my old boss just happened to have one he needed to get rid of. Please keep in mind I have never asked for or told anyone I wanted these things. Other than passing conversations with my husband. Well, anyway, we have had numerous things just given to us! A hot tub (woohoo), furniture, brand new clothes, a boat, a goldfish pond, a ton of bricks (really), a motor home, and too many things to list. It's like one day we are talking about how eventually we would like to have some horses and the next day, poof! Someone gives us a horse. Now you may say, Holly, your rambling and it's cool someone bought you a new couch, but come on, nobody is going to give you a horse! Yet, I told you all that just to say, "Hey, somebody gave me a horse today!!" I'm not kidding. They said, "If you buy this halter and lead rope for $50.00, I'll throw the horse in free." WHAT IN THE WORLD!! People don't give horses away! But I am now an official owner, or I will be when I get her, of a 2 year old quarter horse mare. How crazy is that? I hope she doesn't eat like a horse!! HAHAHA I tried taking some pics of her, but she wouldn't stay still for very long. I hope you can see them.

New Background

Hey everyone. I've been messing around a little with different backgrounds. I really should have been doing something else, but who wants to do that?! I mean, so what if I don't have any clean clothes or my bed isn't made, or my yard needs bushhogging. As long as my blog looks cool, right? Sometimes, you just have to set your priorities in order. Well, I also noted my ads. A friend of mine mentioned on her blog that she had some things on her ads that were not appropiate. So while working on mine, I thought I should check mine out. Well, sure enough, I was advertising on "How the rapture is a lie". I hate the devil. So I took them off. I only made .43 cents anyway. Not enough for that garbage to be represented on my blog. Especially with it looking so cool and all!

Living with a Split Personality

I have discovered that I have a split personality. No really! One minute, I am this person, the very next, I am someone else! Really if you think about it, we all have split personalities. Now I haven't went totally off the deep end. I'm sure everyone has heard or read the book on How to be a Mary in a Martha World. Sometimes we have no choice to be Martha. If things are going to get done, whether in everyday life or in the kingdom, you have to get busy. Yet at the same time, if you don't take the time to be Mary for a little while, all those things will be for naught. I will admit, I feel like I have given in to my Martha side more than Mary here lately. We are starting up this outreach program, and I want it to be the best that it can be. That takes work and time and energy. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining in the least little bit. I am so excited! God has already opened up doors and done marvelous things! But how absolutely sweet it was Sunday night to be able to sit at the feet of Jesus and let him minister to and through me! That's where we gather our strength to step into the role of Martha again. So in all honesty, I don't mind having a split personality. I wouldn't want it any other way. I am so thankful that God has called me for the work of His kingdom. And I will give Him my all until He comes again. But I will cherish the time spent alone in His presence, letting Him speak to the core of my being. I love Him so very much. Isn't He an amazing God to create something as complex as I certainly seem to be?!
