GrEightful

I am stressed beyond, but thought that I should take a moment to reflect on what I am grateful for. Also I could really use some prayer for a big interview I have tomorrow. It's for a term position with the Government in Regina. It is at my current level, which is awesome, but the drive to Regina would be long--but only for a term (4 to 7 months, depending on which position I could get). The interview is two hours long--yup 2 hours! I have to prepare a Powerpoint presentation and then go into a 'normal' government interview. AHHH!

This week's grateful list will be dedicated to the Lord! Even in the toughest, most stressful times, I know that I can take peace, comfort and joy in knowing that He will provide, He will vindicate, He loves unconditionally, He forgives me, He speaks to me when I really need to hear from Him most and He listens to me and my heart! He also provides us with miracles (more on that to come). I am in awe at how extremely awesome HE is and the way that he works and moves in our lives!

1. That He sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins! The ultimate price, something unfathomable!

2. The BIBLE. The inerrant, living, Word of God. Yes He is alive and speaks to us all the time through the Bible. Anyone who thinks it's old or outdated, they really need to spend some time and read it! ;o)

3. Grace, enough said.

4. That the Lord knows exactly what we need and when we need it. (although I wish that I would know His timing--sometimes)

5. For providing us with so much!

"if you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you're richer than 75% of the world"

6. The fact that I am forgiven and that he does not keep record of my mistakes nor hold them against me.

7. For providing me with the most amazing husband (he certainly picked the best partner for me) and two incredible, beautiful gifts--my two children! I am soooo blessed!

8. Knowing that He has a plan for our lives and that if we submit to His will rather than our own, we will have an amazing journey and an incredible eternity! So, so excited to see what our Journey ahead will be like. God is doing some pretty amazing things in the midst of the storm we are going through!

Now I leave you with this email that I got! I thought that it was pretty cute! :o)

RECALL NOTICE:

The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed "Sub- sequential Internal Non-Morality," more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed. Some of the symptoms include:

1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect. The Repair Technician, JESUS, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required. The number to call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.

Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded. For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility. Thank you for your attention! - GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee mail'! Because He Lives!
