Busy week... Awesome week.. Full of thanksgiving.
Wow I just LOVEEEEEE this time of year.. I think I have said that already.....
Things have been kind of hectic in the Wiseman house.... BUT "all things work together for our good" and Oh, how God has shown that to us this week.
Have had MANY answers to prayers this week, Have had many blessings in several different ways poured out on us... that all come down to one thing.. GOD IS IN CONTROL and HE WATCHES OVER US!! THANK YOU JESUS!!
Spent a wonderful day with a very dear friend whom I had not seen in awhile... What a blessing she is... overwhelmed with thanksgiving for that day spent with her..
Today is my nephew's 17th Birthday... I FEEEL SO OLD.. They allowed me to bake his birthday cake( ha they might change their minds once I get it there) so the girls and I are working together on it.. will go down later to a small celebration at my sisters home..
They just got back from Missouri so, no big parties just yet..
Went out with my sister last night and had A BLAST... and was just good to spend that time together.... I love my sister!!!
looking forward to getting back to church Sunday( have missed due to the hectic things going on)
I am so SO SO thankful for our Church Family as well... God is so good... and ever so close, specially in the midst of the storm... I am learning, He is the one whom controls the storm and can calm the storm.. So thankful "He hideth my life in the cleft of the rock, and shadows me there with HIS hand"
Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Blessed Weekend.... And remember, "Count your many Blessings, name them one by one" They all come as a result of A GREAT BIG GOD!!!
~~~~~~~ Thank You Jesus~~~~~~~

Poem from the "Esther" Bible Study -Safe in His hands, Sweet Destiny!
O' God of wonders, power and might
Are You still there? or taken flight
Far from my wondering, worldly heart
That calls out only in the dark.
I don't know what I'm doing here
Crushed beneath this crown of fear
The masquerade is over now,
Whats hidden here is begging out.
Could it be true that I'm alive
To do something , I wont survive?
Are you a God who bring to life
To bid a person come and die?
Or is this death a deeper kind
That spares my flesh, but slays my mind
That steals my heart from guarded shelf
And breaks it till, I die to self
Why me? Why here? Why now? Why not
Show Your wonders, save this lot?
Why settle for this flesh and blood
This crumbling clay, this fear-drenched mud
There's Someone braver, Someone true
Someone who's been close to You
Too much at stake, I'm not the one.
What did I seek? What have I done?
Oh, Providence, Come show Your hand
Blow the ashes from the man
Deliverer, come raise Your bow
Shoot Your arrow, Scatter foe.
We praise a Ruler faithful still
We know You can; We pray You will.
You're not a God who makes mistakes
My life is YOURS, to give, to take.
If, for such a time as this,
I'm the one, do as you wish
Who knows but that I'm in this place
To prove Your Presence? Give me grace,
Destiny, don't hurry now.
But fill what's lacking I will bow
I'll hold my life not dear to me
Safe in HIS hands, Sweet Destiny
Are You still there? or taken flight
Far from my wondering, worldly heart
That calls out only in the dark.
I don't know what I'm doing here
Crushed beneath this crown of fear
The masquerade is over now,
Whats hidden here is begging out.
Could it be true that I'm alive
To do something , I wont survive?
Are you a God who bring to life
To bid a person come and die?
Or is this death a deeper kind
That spares my flesh, but slays my mind
That steals my heart from guarded shelf
And breaks it till, I die to self
Why me? Why here? Why now? Why not
Show Your wonders, save this lot?
Why settle for this flesh and blood
This crumbling clay, this fear-drenched mud
There's Someone braver, Someone true
Someone who's been close to You
Too much at stake, I'm not the one.
What did I seek? What have I done?
Oh, Providence, Come show Your hand
Blow the ashes from the man
Deliverer, come raise Your bow
Shoot Your arrow, Scatter foe.
We praise a Ruler faithful still
We know You can; We pray You will.
You're not a God who makes mistakes
My life is YOURS, to give, to take.
If, for such a time as this,
I'm the one, do as you wish
Who knows but that I'm in this place
To prove Your Presence? Give me grace,

But fill what's lacking I will bow
I'll hold my life not dear to me
Safe in HIS hands, Sweet Destiny
