Wanted to share this from a Friend!

CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2007

Last Week I threw out Worrying, it was getting old and in the way.

It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST
(Didn't have time to read it anyway).

Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today.

I threw out hate and bad memories,
(Remember how I treasured them so)?

Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago.

Brought in some new books too, called I CAN, I WILL, AND I MUST.

Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, you should've seen the dust.

I ran across an OLD FRIEND, I hadn't talked to in a while.

His name is GOD the Father, and I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself.

Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,
Yes I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door.

I FOUND IT- its called PEACE. Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice.

Looks good around the place.

For things like Worry and Trouble there just isn't any space.

It's good to do a little house cleaning, Get rid of the things on the shelf.

It sure makes things brighter; maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!!

May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you
will not have room enough to receive it all.
Malachi 3:10.

May the Lord bless you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever hope
for.
Philippians 4:19.

It's Official

Well as I was walking in to work this morning one of the Marines I work with was like Oh By the Way we are leaving out next week. I have to be honest and say that for a few minutes a bit of nervousness set in but as I walked into my office and sit down I finally got over it. I realized that my time here was short and I had a list of tasks that had to be complete prior to my departure. So I hustled all day and rushed home to be with my boys. When I got home I sat down with them and told them that the days are coming fast and I will be leaving soon. So I asked, "Do you all remember where I told you I was going?" So Javhon said, "McDonalds?" Darius said, "No Iraq!" Javhon says, "But you said you were going to McDonalds the other day and did not go so are you sure you are going to Iraq this time?" I said listen Brat it is not my fault I did not go to McDonalds it was cold out there and the traffic was backed up. Then he says I just want to be sure you are going this time, Mommy. Brat!! But I love him.
