King David and King Solomon-What I learned

Okay.... so.... I have been reading on King David and on King Solomon in the bible. King David definitly experienced many different things in his life. So did King Solomon. My heart is filled with the desire to stay away from sin. I believe that is why we can use King David as a prime example. He was an extroridany leader that was chosen at a young age. He developed into the person God wanted him to be. He was a man after God's own heart. He made some major mistakes though. He committed murder, adultry made mistakes in his marrige (s) and as a parent. He was a soldier and a king. He knew how to live without and was familiar with the luxuray of living with. My heart wants to burst as I read about his life. The great thing is that he left this earth fulfilling all he could and he left a set place (the kingdom) for his son King Solomon to take over. I wish I could put into words all the things that I feel from reading this portion of the bible. I feel warned, encouraged, sad, confident, grieved, all at the same time. One can learn many things from this great man's life. I encourage you to learn from his mistakes and also from his great victories. There is plenty for us to learn from.
Okay.... let's talk about King Solomon. King Solomon was the wealthiest King that lived and was full of wisdom that people from all over wanted to hear. Unfortunately he ended up straying away from God because he began to worship the God's of his wives. The bible says he liked foreign women and they seduced him into worshiping those God's. Because of his decisions the kingdom would be taken from him. The lord allowed only one portion to remain to honor all King David did. It breaks my heart to read that he could have strayed away the way he did. Especially because he was so wise and had all he needed an more. It goes to show you that non of us are exempt and we should constantly evaluate our hearts. If anything that is what I am doing. Evaluating my heart and seeking God to guide me an my family. It made me think about my marriage, future and my son. I want only God's best for my marriage and for my son. Lord, help us to full fill all of your will; not just a piece of it. Thank you for your revelation from this portion of your word. May you strengthen other's marriages and all the parents and there children. We love you and we praise you lord. Help us to stay close to you. In Jesus name. Amen.

Finals

I got through my finals. Thank God! I am in my second week of my new classes and am starting to see the end of the tunnel. I passed one of my finals with a perfect score. Impressive right! Yeah, I think it's pretty cool too! I really think my instructor liked my style of writing! I do feel that I right pretty good in first person (just don't pay attention to my grammar mistakes) LOL! So now I am taking Religions of the World and How Public Policy was developed in Human Services. So far so good but I am not digging the beliefs of Indigenous people. I am looking forward to learning more about Jewish beliefs though. I will let you know how it goes.

Priscillas Graduation

Well,
What can I say I have been pretty busy since the beginning of this month. Now a day's every ones middle name should be "BUSY" right. LOL! My little sisters graduation was nice. It was great to see her FINALLY graduate. I think my mom is still lost in amazement that her youngest daughter did in fact graduate. It is a true miracle if you know my little sister and all she has been through. Now, I just pray that she goes into the woman's home and gets a hold of God.

The day after Memorial Day

What can I say I am tired today! I think I over did it this weekend. I cleaned the entire house and washed my comforters. I cleaned the house only for my sister and her kiddos to come destroy it. They are visiting this week and from the moment they walk in the door and drop all there luggage on the floor my house gets destroyed. LOL! It's okay though cuz the company is great! So like I was saying I cleaned (rearranged the guest room) and then went to the laundry mat, walmart, and grocery store. By the time I got home it was 8:00 p.m. and by the time I fed Tim, put all the grocery's away and put Tim to bed it was 9:30 p.m. Then I decided to start painting my bathroom. I don't know why but I did. After I was tired of painting I still needed to do home work and did not go to bet until 1:30 a.m. I repeated that from Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I must admit that I am a bit cranky because of it. I am planning on taking a nap during lunch today.
