A NEW DAY!

Thank the Lord for new days.........a clean slate every morning.  I'm learning to be careful about what I think on before my feet touch the floor.  His mercies are new everyday......and I don't know about you, but I DO need his tender mercy and grace each day.  "Jesus, I thank you for another day to, hopefully, be a blessing to someone; to learn more about you.
A close friend of mine recently prompted me to get back to my blog.  You see, since I signed up on Facebook, I've been spending a lot of time there.  It is about the only place where I can go and see how my children and family are doing.  But I also tend to waste time playing a few of the games there.  I love any form of Bingo.  Downfall?  Possibly........time eater......DEFINITELY!  I can keep tabs on my family there and not spend so much time playing Bingo.  So, now you know what one of my worst sins is.....wasting valuable time.
Since I wrote you last , there have been a big change in my life.  My son, daughter-in-love, and my 5 precious grandchildren moved to Mukilteo, Washington to serve as missionaries in Restoration Ministries.  If you are not familiar with what Restoration Ministries is........you can find out more at:  www.restoration-ministries.info.  Look for the Flints!
Yes, my babies are about as far away from me as they can get.....however, I had known for a long time that God was working in their lives and sensed that he would call them into a ministry, just didn't know which one.  If I hadn't seem God's hand all over this one, it would be unbearable.  But I did, I saw His hand all over this move!  And the ministry is just suited for them.  Did you know there are only about 2% professed Christians in that area around Seattle?  My children are needed there....they have a unique ability to help those in trouble and that are lost.  They themselves have been through many deep trials and have worked in the Celebrate Recovery program for years as students and leaders.
I had to change my phone plan to accomodate the extra calls and texts.....:)...but would have paid anything to hear my grandchildren's voices.
We recently got Skype and have been able to talk to them twice now.  Technology is not all bad, I love seeing those precious faces!
Gotta go for now, but please don't forget me or my family........we need you.........we need your prayers.
God Bless you real good today!
