This week

Been working on "spring cleaning" this week  ...
...financially - 2 payments  from having Rick's motorcycle paid off ... 1 payment from having his truck paid off ... praying about getting our stuff brought down from Idaho (yes, it will be  an expense, but once here it will free up the storage rental money eachmonth) ... we have decided not to buy any more "stuff" unless it is something  that we truly NEED (and are learning that there is a BIG difference in what we NEED vs. what we WANT!) ...

...Rick got me a new computer this week :-). So, spending time going thru these older ones and the various disks ... getting the 
new one set up.

...spiritually - still praying that God will purge  me and purify me. Make me to be holy to Himself. It is my desire to practice  what God has been teaching me.

...relationships - praying.
Past hurts and offenses are hard to let go of. God has been showing me some things about forgiveness this week.
(1)If I look for an  opportunity to "pay it back" - then, I really haven't forgiven.
(2)If presented with an opportunity to "pay it back" and I have no desire to, then I am on the  way to forgiveness.
(3)Not forgiving hurts me more than it hurts someone else. 
(4)Unforgiveness gives the offender a power of control over me.

So, in this - I am ready to forgive. Ready to just let it go. It is not worth the effort. Let GOD deal with them. I'm tired. Sigh.

...taking a hard look around in this house. I have too much stuff! Spending time to clean it, and keep it all in place ... time to get rid of stuff that is only here to "fill space"! What would be so wrong to have more "open space" in the house? For me in my life right now? NOTHING!!!
So,  I welcome this change!

...physically. Beginning with an attitude change. 
Eating to live. NOT living to eat!

**Lord help me in all this! May my life become that which will honor you and make you say - "That's MY child! Ya'll come look and see!" :-)

​
God is God over the storms in my life & world -
and I am His.
Trusting in Him. Holding to His Promises as He holds me.

​
Learning to laugh, to love, & to live ... again - without Rick, but with God

Life goes on ... even when we don't want it to.

Great grief is indicative of a great Love.

Rick, my Sweetheart.
Margaret, his Beloved.
Always & Forever.
