This past November my mom past away. Today was her birthday. I have launched a blog in her memorial at www.AliceRadez.org. This site is intended to collect posts from those who loved her of their memories of her and direct traffic to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s web site. Mom’s battle with MS lasted longer than I have lived. I pray this memorial site keeps up the fight against MS and collects the memories that honor the wonder woman she was.

When life gives you lemons…

I keep hearing this commecial on the radio that says something to the effect of “instead of making lemonade squeeze your lemon into a Bojangle Iced Tea”

Well the past week has been full of lemons. I have a list of things I would love to rant about related to our move. Lets just say a few inconveniences have surfaced. I’ll refrain further and instead quote a verse that I was convicted by.

I hung a decoration on the wall yesterday that quotes Psalm 106:1. Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. What a comfort.  We have encountered emotions high and low this week. We have experienced excitement and arguments. We have experience exhaustion this week attempting to get settled in our new house. Through all the “things to do around the house” we have forgotten our first love. Hanging that decoration was a great reminder that our Lord’s love is unconditional and he has not forsaken me. Even when I don’t make time for Him.

Tomorrow we’ll start an investment into a new church body. I wonder what God has in store to teach us in the upcoming experiences. I pray for a new devotion to His service that we have never experienced.
