May for Me

One of my blog friends, Tonya @ Hillbilly Handiworks, introduced me to the idea her and her friend @ Marcia's Crafty Sewing & Quilting to have the month of May for Me.

"May for Me" can mean many things to us. For me, this will be a time a renewal and refreshing my mind along with working on a few projects and therapy. I admit I am not good with schedules for myself. I am fine usually alone but when others are around my schedule never happens. Therapy and things I have the urge to do go out the window. I am a wife and mother who loves to take care of my family and others. However, I cannot do what I used to do and need some time to figure out what is best for me. So, with that said, the month of May will be a time to figure out what is best for me, leaning on God's word and direction and learning what is best. We will see how God uses this time in "May for Me". I will post some during this time to share with you all but also to keep me on track and remembering.

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

Romans 12:1-2

Have a great week!
God bless you and keep you,

Praising God!
Visit Amy's post here or join with us!

Please say some prayers for my sister and brother-in-law and his family. They are dealing with the loss of his dad right now. I do not know all the specifics however they truly need to have prayer.
Also, short update on me, still sick and dealing with blood pressure (odd readings). Praising the Lord for great reading this morning and thanking Him for many things. Also my mother is visiting so I will not be around as much. I pray you all are doing well and may the Lord bless you this weekend!
Much love,

Have Thine Own Way

Have Thine Own Way

(old hymn)

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! 

Thou art the potter, I am the clay!

Mold me and make me after thy will,

While I am waiting, Yielded and still.

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine old way!

Search me and try me, Master, today!

Whiter than snow, Lord, Wash me just now,

As in thy presence humbly I bow.

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!

Wounded and weary, Help me I pray!

Power, all power Surely is thine!

Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.

Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!

Hold o'er my being Absolute sway!

Fill with thy Spirit Till all shall see

Christ only, always, Living in me.

A-men.

Psalm 51 - A prayer by David

"Have mercy upon me, O God,
         According to Your lovingkindness;
         According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
         Blot out my transgressions.
 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
         And cleanse me from my sin.
        
 For I acknowledge my transgressions,
         And my sin is always before me.
 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
         And done this evil in Your sight—
         That You may be found just when You speak,
         And blameless when You judge.
        
 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
         And in sin my mother conceived me.
 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
         And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
        
 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
         Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
 Make me hear joy and gladness,
         That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
 Hide Your face from my sins,
         And blot out all my iniquities.
        
 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
         And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
 Do not cast me away from Your presence,
         And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
        
 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
         And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
         And sinners shall be converted to You.
        
 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
         The God of my salvation,
         And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
 O Lord, open my lips,
         And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
         You do not delight in burnt offering.
 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
         A broken and a contrite heart—
         These, O God, You will not despise.
        
 Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
         Build the walls of Jerusalem.
 Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
         With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
         Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar."
