Forgotten

You have not been forgotten! Even if it feels that way. Even if in the midst of all your going through you can't see God. Never think that he has forgotten you!

youv'e got mail

Oh do you remember when the Internet first came out, and the magical voice would announce when you had a "email", it would say "you've got mail". Did it make you excited? Did it make your heart beat a little faster? I know it did mine. I love mail!!

Well I am fairly new to Twitter. (I have been on it for over a year, but really only learning how to use in the last month -hey, I get busy!). One thing that is really neat is that you can "follow" people on twitter, and read their "tweets" or little shout outs. It is So much fun! I follow Beth Moore, Sheila Walsh, Tim Tebow, Bob Harper, etc.. Well the other day I read a tweet, that was written by a lady who is wanting to adopt a baby from a mother who is a drug addict, who is trying to fight her addiction. Sometimes good days, sometimes bad. The baby really needs to stay in the mother's womb about 7 more weeks. So she asked people to send letters or cards of encouragement to this special lady who is having such a hard time making it day to day.

The mailing address to send cards is:

Sanford Crisis Pregnancy Center

Attn: Marie Mondays

1002 S French Ave

Sanford FL 32771

The request is to pray for Marie, to fight her addiction. Also that the baby Anna that she is currently carrying, would not suffer side effects and would make it to a safe time to be born.

If you feel lead, please join me in mailing cards of encouragement to the above address. If you would like to learn more please look on twitter to follow: @ldharper, or look for www.facebook.com/pages/Lisa-Harper/120240462872?sk=notes to learn more.

Just remember how special it feels to receive mail, and think of blessing someone else with that gift. Thank you!

sometimes things just suck!

Sometimes things just suck! They do, why pretend otherwise. Things can suck because bad things have happened to us, other times, bad things happen because we have made bad decisions. Either way things can sometimes suck.

So this blog is to offer encouragement to anyone out there that needs some. In today's world everyone seems to be "fine", nobody talks about their problems, or even appears to have any. However the older I get the more I realize you never know what is really going on in some one's Else's life. You can not compare your "backstage" knowledge of your life, with the show someone else is putting on for the world to see. Just remember what stage productions use to build the background or scenery on a stage set, they often use flimsy, and sometimes out of cardboard or thin wood. They props and backgrounds look great from the audience, but backstage or up close the different sets look very different!

So remember not everything is what it appears to be. You are not alone, you are not the only person struggling with what you are going through.
