Here is me in the morning...thinking... 
Life has had it's ups and downs for me... but to be honest... I haven't lost the joy of the Lord :) When I think of myself I usually see myself as smiling...
This year has been a roller coaster to say the least 2010 Wow! My husband came clean and said he was committing adultry.. I started dating and now I am engaged. My son graduated and now he started college... I lost my job not knowing that God was laughing as he knew I would be moving out of the area. Hebrews 11 says you can't keep a good man down. The Scripture that keeps running through my mind lately is He gave BEAUTY FOR ASHES. When you feel like you are spent out the Lord speaks and says... LET THERE BE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. I have to say that I praise the Lord...I am not going to make any excuses for the work God is doing in my life... I sit in wonder and think about these things yet God still extends His hands to me and say RUTHIE, I am your father... and He is. A Father's love knows no bounds. At times I felt worthless but the Lord reminded me of how no matter how badly a $20 bill is torn up it's still holds it 's value. He is bringing Beauty for Ashes... I know something wonderful is on it's way. Everyday I feel stronger and that yes, this is good feeling from the inside. God is at work and it is not my job to do anything but listen. God is building new dreams and visions in me as well. I have a desire to be a good farmer as well as starting a coupon site and helping others which is now my blog http://www.RuthiesCouponChannel.blogspot.com and am hoping to do radio and cyber TV with this. God cracks me up...needed more money... He says okay I will make something out of nothing... COUPONS ARE MONEY...Here play with this monopoly money for awahile. So instantly I start saving big time in just a few weeks. God always blows my mind it is so exciting to be a Christian you go from one adventure to the next like a Indiana Jones those that don't put the time in to know Him in His power really miss out on the awesomeness of this life. Thank you Lord. I hope you are blessed please share this blog with a friend today.
