My PROG !( No, that's not a typo),-Not, Blog, Not Frog, but PROG!

"Ok", you might be thinking, "get on with it already, WHAT int the blue blazes is your PROG?"
I have just started a new thingy, sorta like a blog, but I call it "PROG", because I'm tired of messing things up. I feel like I'm always trying to get myself out of a mess, s00000000....

My PROG is my daily Prayer Log. Yep, it's true. It has really come to that. I have to schedule time now, daily, to get guidance from THE MAN! I mean, lets get real, here. I AM a mess. You all know it, if you know me. Be honest. How in the SKY BLUE BLAZES am I going be successful, unless I get directions from BIG DADDY! Not you, Joe, no offence, but I mean THE BIG DADDY.

Ok, I know some of you guys aren't to sure about BIG DADDY. But, I still am. I'm totally convinced, always have been. I have to admit, I think I must be His darling, eventhough I am a mess. I mean, if you REALLY knew me, you would KNOW that he does miracles DAILY for me.

Anyway, it's high time I got a little more honest with myself and face facts that "if He is real, He sure as H...(and you know the rest)can guide me. S0, I lay in my bed with my head propped up with pillows and my knees up and lay my laptop on my lap and I talk to him about all my messes. Then I shut up, clear my mind of all its messes, and listen. When something starts to come I type it.

You know this isn't something new. I did this when I was a young whippersnapper of about 19. I would wake up before my brain was fully awake (not that it ever totally is, ha), and I would start writing on the pad of paper I would always keep beside me there. I didn't know what in the Blistering World I was writing. After I finished writing it, I would read it and WOW! It was DEEP, like, HEAVY, MAN! That is how we talked back in the late 60's early 70's. I actually learned from those writings. I learned a lot of deep lessons.

So, you can say what you want, but SOMEBODY was telling me some pretty deep stuff. Well, I found out that SOMEBODY, has been a part of MY BODY for quite a while now. Probably always has been, ha. So... I'm gettin back into the old habit of doing that first thing. I'm saving the logs in a file, too, with the date on it (it is so much easier for me to do these things with my trusty sidekick laptop). I do love my little buddy laptop. He's so faithful! He's a cute little bugger, too.

So, MAYBE, I will decide to open my PROG to you guys, too. Then, when I start finding all these great real estate deals, and I get all these great ideas, you guys will know from whence it comes. Anyway, it will probably be pretty obvious, that it sure won't be by my own super organized brain, that I become successful and attain my goals.

Gettin' Out of the SOOT!

I have been on a detour from Blobland again. I was buried alive in stacks of paperwork and business! I thought I would never get back! Oh, thank God, I made it! I was living in a panic to get it all done and was getting weary, to say the least. I hardly looked at my kids for several days.

How DOES this happen? One minute I'm going along thinking everything is hunky dorey (whatever that is), and then WOW, I'm hit between the eyes with one emergency after another, until I feel like I'm in a desperate race to save us all from catastrophe.

I said to my hubby, the other day, "honey, we live by SOOT, Skin Of Our Teeth." We are both ready to rise above it all, though. Now, when I say ready, I DO MEAN READY! Look out world, cause I'm a comin up from this SOOT pile. I'm going to push us out of this situation real soon. Don't worry, honey I did a Financial Report Card last night, and things are beginning to look better.

I do have a more spiritual side, folks, but lately it has been buried in paperwork, sorry.

My New Website

I am embarking on a new career. Real Estate. Here is a house I am selling right now.
You may recognize this as one of the houses that was my home. I have 2 properties right now, but I am about to get out there and get many more.

I know some of you are probably thinking, "Here she goes again!" But, I have a quest for moving forward and for learning. I really have been enthralled with real estate for some time now, because it is the best way to get wealthy. Now, mind you, I am not a money idolizer, infact, I am sick of it ruling my life and the lives of my loved ones. This is the very reason I am determined to conquer its hold on me and my family. I want to get enough of it to set us free from its slavery. I know I will succeed, because it is difficult to stop the truely determined person who doesn't let anyone dissuade him or her. That is me to a T. Once I decide to do something, people watch me go off and I can almost here them in the background mumbling to themselves "oh, my gosh, should we stop her? Is she going to lead us all to disaster!" Even now, I can hear my sweet hubbie's teeth chattering as he moans his little Eeyore dirges. "Oh, no," he bemoans, "There she goes again, spending all our money on some Real Estate Course."

But, I think he is actually "Wonderful". What would I do without such a wonderful man, who lets me live my dreams, even to his own hurt. It is hard to have faith in someone else's dreams. I want him and all of you to know that these aren't dreams, but the are well planned missions. I feel like an explorer in strange lands, but I know I am building something fantastic.

People thought I was crazy to run off and join some crazy Christian Missionary Group when I was young, but I loved it. I am never sorry I did. I had so many wonderful adventures and learning.

They thought I was absolutely wacked to give birth to and raise 9 children. I would have thought that about myself when I was young and single and thought I couldn't even have children and never pictured myself as a mother. BUT, those children were the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.

I think life just gets better and better. Any difficult times are just a thing on the road, that we can pass right by as we keep our eyes on the road ahead. My eyes are on freedom for our future, and I am going to get it.


As for my site, I am still working on it. Anyway, it is free hosting and they give you some great tools. I'm not crazy about the ads, but maybe I will upgrade when I can afford it.
