A New Day

It's a new day and a new week. I could look at it as it is one day, one week closer to the deadline, but instead I choose to look at it as it is a new day to achieve a goal. The goal? To save Davids home!

I keep blogging even the mundane about this whole thing because it is my therapy right now. It keeps me from losing track of the goal and it also helps me not to get discouraged and fall apart. Every time someone posts something wonderful about David or the fact that they want to help or just that they are praying, it gives me just that much more confidence to know that we can succeed and achieve for David. You all have no idea how therapeutic you are.

Last week was so surreal and I spent most of the time lost in a fog of disbelief and bewilderment over an unthinkable situation. This week, I am focused. I know what has to be done and God willing, I will get some answers about this whole situation. No, Ellen is not likely to swoop in and save the day, nor is a bizillionaire going to come out of the woodwork and fix this. I am fully aware that in this case, I am in charge of mine and David's destiny and if this house is to be saved for David's mental/physical stability and his future, I have to step up to the plate and make it happen. Luckily I am blessed with people that want to help and want to insure that David never has to know a day where his future in this house is in question.

Part of stepping up on my part is asking a lot of others to help. I have asked for donations, physical help in planning a fundraiser and I have asked people to SHARE everything about this situation on social media so that word gets out of the crucial need for a lot of money in a very short time. Now I ask again for something from ALL of you. PLEASE pray for us! Even if you don't normally pray, I am begging that you just say a small prayer for David and our situation as I am sure in God's ears, those prayers are the sweetest. I keep remembering "Ask and you shall receive." Okay, if I am asking and you all are asking, surely God will help us to find a way to make David's future in this house secure.

Last night we had a fundraiser meeting for Save David's Home and tonight there will be another one for those who didn't make last nights. We did make a great deal of headway last night and tonight, I hope to get more good ideas and to finalize everything right down to the date. Trust me, I will be sharing all that info tomorrow.

So I thank you all for taking the time to read my blogs and let me vent and get some therapeutic release. Now I must get busy and Save David's Home.

I Really Think I Did Good Today!

So I was sitting here about to write a rather scathing piece on some recent incidents where both my religion and by extension, myself, were verbally attacked. I was geared up due to the fact that I have a headache and I am not in the best of moods. Suddenly though, one word came to mind which turned both my mood and the direction of my blog, completely around. That word? PRAY!

If your head hurts, you're in a mood and you feel ready to verbally blast the world...pray.

If you are experienced or a just a beginner....pray.

If you are standing up, sitting down, lying back, hitting your knees, taking a walk or in your car....pray.

If you are scared, happy, sad, joyous, lost, lonely, upset or mad....pray.

If you are out of home, out of a marriage or out of a job....pray.

If you need money, friends, family or help....pray.

If you are hurting yourself, hurting others, hurting the world or the world is hurting you....pray.

If you are using, addicted or detoxing....pray.

If you are healthy, sick, struggling, fighting, working, playing or just listening for an answer....pray.

Pray for your kids, your family, your husband, your wife, your parents, your grandparents, your friends and most of all....your enemies.

Pray for our country, our world, our soldiers and our leaders.

Pray for our churches, the faithful, people who have never found faith, people who have lost faith and people who need faith.

Pray for the sick, the dying and the abused.

Pray for those being persecuted for praying and pray for Israel.

Pray for those who are always there, those who show up and those who never leave your side.

Pray for those traveling and those coming home.

Pray for doctors, lawyers, clergy and politicians.

Pray for happiness, health and peace.

Pray for me.

Pray for you.

In other words, no matter who you are, where you live, how much money you make, how poor you are, how sick you are, how great you think you are or how nonredeemable you think you are. God gave you the gift of prayer.....so use it.

It can be as intricate a prayer as a Novena or as simple a prayer as "Please God...help me." You can list your needs, trust Him to know your heart or simply thank Him for your day. All prayers are heard and all prayers are answered. Ask and you shall receive. 

So there you have it. The word for today is PRAY. Do it now.....do it later and..... do it often. And after going back and reading this totally unexpected and inspired blog....I just have to say, I really think I did good today!

Happy Sunday everyone!
