What is on your Mind?

Remembering, dwelling, soaking in on words from a speaker I heard this weekend to a large group of women.

I can't help but want to share something that really stuck out to me
And
I'm just wondering how many more of you women can relate to this.

The question was asked ....
Where is your MIND?
In the Spirit
Or
In the flesh

What is taking up your life?
What is taking up your time?

This next statement that was made really has got me thinking.

If WE have

                        Lot more of Jesus

  

                  - alot less of the world

= A Powerful Life!

So where is your mind?

How much time are we spending on worldly  things Vs. The amount of time we are spending devoted into Gods Word?

This was directed to me! I do find my self scrolling my phone before even opening my bible.

 This was directed to me! cause I tend to check email before I even thank God for a new day.

LORD, I ask you to forgive me where I seek other things before you.

I thank you for your forgiveness from my actions and words and thoughts that are displeasing to you.

Bring attention to me when I am putting my flesh before You and your word so that I may redirect my focus upon you everyday!

In Jesus Name

Amen

One of my Favorite Things

One of my favorite things to do- is read.
I read some books to learn, I enjoy reading some books to get lost in my imagination. However, the busyness of life slows down my reading time....

But thru nursing school and day to day life, I have a habit of screen shooting books I come across online, that I SOMEDAY would like to read.
Here are just a few I have saved over the past year...

Do you have any good reads to recommend?

Yarn Time!

Fall is time for yarn works!
And Guess what? It is Fall!!
Time to drag out the needles and yarn!

My Goal for this year is to only knit! I may be slow at this but I want u to learn this - I am determined!

Catch up time!

Been a few months since I wrote!
Been just a little busy!
Since last time I wrote I have since graduated from nursing school, took my state Board testing and I am now:

Katie Presser,LPN

So glad that part is over!

But we all know how wonderful our God is, right!
And His timing is always Perfect!

The day after I graduate He opened the door to job!
The next day I became a nurse to two General surgeons!
Stressfull? Yes just a little!
Do I love it? Yes alot!
What was even nicer about this opportunity  is that it is in the same building I have worked in for 10 years as a secretary. GOD CONTINUES TO WALK BEFORE  ME!

So wondering how I finally have time to write? Well, yesterday I had gallbladder surgery!
Was not planned! But it is good timing as well, since we have a three day weekend and I won't have to miss any work!

So definitely  getting some down time for a change this weekend.
Hope to get some reading, bible time and crocheting done this weekend

Hope to be back on here soon and little more often!

Have a blessed day y'all!

Giving Him all the Glory!

So the time along awaited for has come this past week! With great excitement I was Honor to have my mother (an RN) pin me as a LPN. It has been a long 10 months! Some huge changes in my life and family, but I know without a single doubt that Gods hands have been in it all! He deserves all the glory and thanks for walking thru this time with us, thru each class, test, paper due, tears shed, friendships made, long clinicals and very sleepy drives! 

There are things big and small that people will never know or maybe ever even understand all that Gods has done in our lives the past two years!

I was honored to also receive the "Florence Nightingale" award. Blessed but there are so many awesome to be LPN's in my class. They all deserve that award! 

Blessed but All the glory is His!

And I can not begin to Thank all my friends, family and wonderful church family for all the prayers, cards, text of encouragement and yummie much needed chocolate,  over the past year enough! God has truly blessed me with some good ol' hard praying, lovin friends!:)

And.....

A loving husband and awesome daughters that have sacrificed a lot this past year- I love them so much! 

God use me where you need me.....

 

A Child Needs You

Had a very blessed day to watch this young Lady stand before a crowd of people so very nervous, all because she loves The Lord and wants to serve.

Her heart has been broken for the poor and the needy. God placed a command on her heart and thru the fear of the stage she continued on to follow in the steps that Christ was calling her too walk.

I was a very proud momma to see her stand before our church and allow God to work thru her.  

She represented Compassion International today for Compassion Sunday. She reached out for sponsorships for needy children. And God moved.

six different children recieved sponsors today. Changing their lives, giving them Hope and shareing Christ with each one. 

That is what it is all about.

Compassion- one child at a time.

Would like to introduce you to our newest family member.

Linda "Zoe". She is from Honduras and she is 4 years old.

Monthly with only $38.00 we are able to provide her with education, food, medical  care and get to show her the Love of Jesus. We also get to send letters and pictures and receive sweet pictures.

I may not have meet her yet, but she has my heart. 

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you didit to Me.’

Matthew 25:35-40 

I pray for her and her family and feel blessed that God has allowed me to care for another one of His children. 

How can you adopt child to help raise and bring up learning about Christ?
