The clouds are coming hehehe
Well my wife did take the time to look at the picture and comment last night although very short and no involvement what so ever. Pretty sure she heard my prayer and is trying to figure out how to make it sound bad or mean when she tells her story to her pastor boy or marriage counselor so I am gearing down to pray that God will protect me and use this to bring the truth out and contention between my wife and her pastor boy that they may lash out at each other stopping all that is between them from now on.

"The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him."
~ Genesis 40:23 NIV
How easy it is to forget all that's been done for you.
The chief cupbearer offended Pharaoh and got thrown into prison, the same prison Joseph had been erroneously placed in.
After a while, Joseph interpreted his dreams, telling him of the restoration he would receive from Pharaoh, and asked the cupbearer not to forget him when it all came to pass.
It all came to pass just as Joseph's interpretation stated, and yet the cupbearer still forgot about Joseph.
When he was down and out, he was hanging on every word Joseph spoke. In fact, the Bible says he was walking around dejected.
He had no hope.
Yet, the person who restored his hope was the one easily forgotten when he got back on his feet.
As much as this scripture made me angry, humbly, I realized I do the same thing to God.
A verse from a Christian artist comes to mind when he stated, "We forget about the Lord when the plane's flying...but how fast we remember when the plane's diving."
Today your commission is simple...don't forget.
Don't forget about how far He has brought you and all that He has brought you through. Sometimes we get so far removed from our painful past that we want to stay in the present and enjoy it.
There's nothing wrong with it, just don't do it at the expense of the one who made it all possible for you.
Rejoice when you're up by remembering what God did for you and said to you when you were down.
He deserves all the glory, and He deserves a permanent place in your memory.
Let's pray...
"Lord, I'm sorry for any and every time I have forgotten about your goodness, grace, and mercies. It's so easy to take them for granted. Help me to slow down and remember your hand on my life daily. Keep on top of my mind not just what you've done for me, but what you have done for my family as well. I thank you in advance because I know you will keep on doing it. In Jesus name I pray, Amen."
AMEN
this is so true when I separated from my wife so I could stay healthy enough to get my surgeries done God changed my perspective on the doctors and nurses. Instead of them waging a war on a spider bite on my back that was moving across the skin at 1/2 inch a week. God showed me that everyone there and involved was lavishly over flowing with love from God. The surgeries went well every 2 weeks for 9 months and I healed fast. Not because of some health miracle but because God so desired to pour out all his love on me in a lonely and hopeless time. Today as I am homeless and alone every time I walk out of my RV door I am met by God. God puts in front of me animals and plants and clouds and everything in creation not to scare me but to embrace my heart with His loving hands and peace. I see God kingdom so clear it makes me cry even though I still pray everyday for a place to live and a flower garden to work in and hope in a world of everyone pointing fingers and lies at me GOD IS THERE. AMEN
Sooooo may have tossed a big wrench in the marriage counseling deal Saturday night hehehehe. As usual my wife and I durning our phone call ran out of things to say in about 5 minutes so she said "Go ahead and pray" so I started praying for all the things she asked me to pray for her about then I had the feeling this one time (and I never have prayed for me because she doesn't like that just her) I prayed for me and the words that came out were "God don't let me die homeless and alone in an RV park, give me some place to live and please give me a flower bed to work in and trees to sit under to enjoy your creation. And make it a place I can have a puppy." To which she said goodnight and hung up like she never heard any of it. And I thought maybe she had not heard any of it BUT I have not heard a peep from her since then so my spirit is saying brace yourself because you are going to feel satans darts big time but stand strong because the armor you have is from God.
Today was windy and cold only 52 degrees and 30 mph winds was a tad bit cold but the walk was pretty good. I saw some church goers heading to the nursing home and knew they played music so on my second lap the Holy Spirit said stop and listen a bit so I went in then hesitant to open the doors I waited outside the chapel area then decided to enter in. Yes most of the people there knew me and waved but I just stood by the door and listened for about 5 songs then headed back out on my walk. Finished up the walk and came back to the rv and played games for a spell. Seems like hours but I think it has just been 1.5 hours at most. Really quite and no texts or anything so kind of wondering. On my second lap there were about 20 deer that ran over to the fence and stood about 20 feet from me as I walked past them they were just staring. My wifes grand daughter pulled out twice and saw me walking so she made sure to head the opposite direction so as not to go past me. It's those sort of things that just piss me off knowing they are hating only because of the lies my wife tells them and will never try to find the truth. But God still loves me and calls me friend so that's all I need.
Thinking I will not hear from my wife tonight so just planning a game night and sleep.
Well again in a surprising turn my wife called to talk about nothing and to share nothing so short and a prayer and thats it. Basically nothing.
Good nite everyone
