Life

I woke up 10 minutes before Aliza. Ihave was in the living room when I heard her wake up,  get down from the bed, and walk towards the door. She attempted to turn the knob but couldn't. She then knocked on the door; so sweet. When I opened the door,  she greeted me with a big smile and a small, wooden, square plaque that said "#1 DAD"; sweeter. (The plaque was gifted to us the day before by a friend who is skilled in wood work)

Prov 3:34 Prov 11:2 Prov 15:33 Prov 18:12 Humility is not the same thing as humiliation. It is not the same thing as self hatred, depression. It is about exalting others. Rom 12:16b associate yourself with the humble Phi 2:3 esteem others better than himself When you esteem someone, you encourage them, brag about other people more than about yourself, pray for people 1 Pet 5:5 Submit yourselves to your elders Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Step 1. Shoot it down and contain it Cor 9:27, Rom 6:19 Step 2. Learn its weaknesses Mat 6:3-18 Step 3. Fix the broken pieces James 4:7-10 Step 4. Help others do the same. Fasting will help weaken the flesh, regardless of what the temptation is. You will never move on to fighting your real enemy, until you can subdue your flesh.

Aliza, my 19 month old daughter, was just praying after her meal. And she put her hands together and said, " Amen. God. Amen mana ( which means bannana). Jesush. Babtcha. Amen. She pretty much was thanking God for banannas, Jesus, and babcia (grandma). :) Later, she brought The Story of Christmas book and said Jesush :) This brings joy to my heart!

I enjoy spending time with Aliza, my 19 month old daughter. She's been doing this for some time, but she calls me daddy, and Jessica mommy. Sometime, she'll say "my daddy"; it's awesome. Today, we were praying as a family at bedtime, and she says "God", and "Amen", and the first time I heard her say "Jesus"! I believe it pleases the Lord also to hear Aliza pray.

Time passes quickly! Use each day to the best of your ability.

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
