Thankful Thursday: Prosperity
I am thankful for all the tools and guides Heavenly Father has blessed into my life. I am grateful for His constant presence and guidance... even when I feel unsure, He is ever faithful! I am thankful for prosperity and abundance!
I've been realizing to ever increasing depths and breadths how much Heavenly Father loves all of us and desires to bless us... by way of realizing this desire He has for me. He has said, "What I say to one, I say to all..." so if He tells me He wants me to be prosperous and recognize the abundance in my life, then He wants the same thing for everyone else, too!
Felice Austin has a few blogs in which she writes. One of them is Progressive Prophetess. It is through that blog that I was able to begin to see clearly how much God wants to prosper ME. She writes about spiritual truths that the Bible declares. Somehow, for me, the way Felice Austin writes about them is somewhat more accessible than the same information that I've read in the Bible. Felice wrote a post pretty recently about her realization that her Daddy was rich and that rich parents desire prosperity for their children. Of COURSE they do! The Daddy she was referring to is, of course, Heavenly Father. He is also my Father... so, of course, He desires the same for me
In the KJV of the Bible we can find a few direct references to prosperity. I've read them. I "knew" them, but it didn't sink in that it meant for ME, too. Silly, I know. Anyway, I want to share the most obvious of those verses in case you care and want to truly know that this truth is pertinent to you, too.
In Nehemiah 2: 20 says, "Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us;"
In 3 John 1:2 it says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
I especially like the one in Joshua 1:8 that says, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." because it seems even more likely to me that prosperity is a function of faith in God and right choices to honor and glorify Him. I like that because I'm still on the early part of trusting God for exceeding prosperity beyond my need and I feel a need to do something for it. I *know* in my head to some degree that this is silliness. It is what it is as part of my journey. I'm working to the point of internalizing that God simply desires for me and my family to be prosperous. I *know* it, now I just need to get to the point of fully accepting it!
I'm going to share a bit more about this subject in connection with Meditation Monday. So, check back on Monday! :)

Thankful Thursday: My Baby Girl
I am thankful that, even when sick, my baby girl is super sweet and a happy little one! She is truly amazing!
She's still got a hanger-on cough and snot nose, but she's getting better. I'm so thankful she is healthier than she was. I'm also thankful to know now what I didn't understand or believe when I was a younger mom, which is: overcoming illness strengthens my children's body-systems. With the way this world is, currently, we have to get sick to get stronger.
I am thankful for all of my children. They are, even when among my trials, my greatest gifts in this life. Praise the Lord for life and them in it!

Thankful Thursday: a little about the woman with Pink hair
This Thursday, I am thankful for challenges that require me to do things I used to do for wrong reasons for right ones. I'm thankful for the opportunity to stand up for my child/children in a way they could see and recognize as such. I'm thankful for the challenge of staying away from personal attacks even when the other person with whom I am dealing resorts to them.
Yesterday, a woman at the market said something unkind to my eldest daughter. It was inappropriate and if she actually spoke with rather than at my child, she never ever would've said what she did. At first I was going to let it pass, as I have been challenged to do (in my nature I have always been a "quick to fight" sorta gal). Over the last few years I've realized that I should just let it pass. The more I attempted to do so over this issue, the more sick I felt about it... particularly because of the way my child looked at me and questioned me over this woman's words.
So, even though she was a few feet past us, I approached her to tell her she was wrong for saying what she said to my child. She was defensive and retorted with additional information that revealed even further that she had really no clue what she was talking about and simply continued to argue only because she didn't want to back down and/or admit she had spoken unkindly and wrongly to a young girl. Her arguments were horribly faulty and crumbled at every question I poked toward them. Worst of all, she revealed that she believes the world is a horrible mean place and that children should be put in public school so that they learn that and learn how to deal with it because they are going to have to deal for the rest of their lives. GAH!!!
Can you tell the subject under discussion was homeschooling? Well, if you couldn't, it was. I'll explain more about that another time. Suffice it to say, for now, that I had a wonderful opportunity to see what I'm currently made of and found, much to my pleasure and joy, that I'm made of much better stuff currently than I ever have been. Praise the Lord for making me new and increasingly like our dear Savior! I've got SO far to go yet, but the progress seems really wonderful to me right now!
I really should've known this from all too frequent altercations I am involved in with someone who matters much more than this strange little old woman with pink hair who thinks the world is mean ever could be. But those are so much more heavy-laden by emotion that it's difficult to discern all that I might understand about myself from them. However, now that I've had this interaction with the little pink haired woman, I can see so much more clearly my personal progress with the other more important relationship. Praise the Lord for using this mirror to shine light into the otherwise dimmer area! :)
Additionally, I'm so thankful that even though yesterday's market day was super duper slow, I was still blessed with a sale! Praise the Lord for blessing me with consistency.

Thankful Thursday: Introducing Focus My Word of the Year
I'm thankful for all of the possibilities that each new day brings. I don't take advantage of them all (who can?), but I sure am thankful for them!
Using my time more efficiently and to better result is among my main efforts lately. It's amazing how much I am able to accomplish when I put my mind to FOCUSing. I haven't shared, specifically yet, but FOCUS is my word for this year, 2014. FOCUS. It's a good word, don't you think? I'm grateful for the opportunity to FOCUS and change myself to be more FOCUSed.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I'm thankful for slow days and family time. I'm grateful for family traditions and trying new things in a safe and comfy way.
We are regular Americans here in the Gollihugh household. We do things a bit differently, here and there. One tradition we changed happens to be for Thanksgiving. We decided (maybe the children and I and Jessie has sorta just gone along with it??) that we would forego the traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.
It happened very "organically" last year.
A couple nights before Thanksgiving last year we had a hankerin' for sushi. We didn't have much of the makings, but we had a few things (like the ingredients to make sushi rice and nori, so we made a go of it). Actually... Jessie MADE it, I just encouraged him along. And MAN! did he make a GO of it! We ended up with what we'll call "redneck sushi" and it was fabulous! We had a roll with green apples in it, a spicy tuna roll made of tun from a can, and another few rolls. It was scrumptious!
All that wonderful redneck sushi made us want more, so we went to the store and purchased a few things and planned to have more for Thanksgiving. Since we were going to have sushi, we decided to make it an Asian meal. I prepared lumpia (with two sauces), okonomiyaki, and Jessie made lots and lots of sushi rolls! It was AWESOME! We had okonomiyaki for a few days after. The children still remember all of it (including the leftovers) with fondness!
This year, the requests were Taiwanese or Thai. Well, as it happens, Taiwanese food is very much like Chinese. It would've taken me a great deal more research time to find some authentic Tiawanese recipes. It's a little easier to find Thai recipes (or, as we've coined it: Thai-ican recipes). So, we had a lovely Thai dinner for our Thanksgiving dinner and it was FABULOUS!
We had Green Chicken Curry on Jasmine rice, cold broccoli salad, butternut squash cakes, butternut squash biscuit pudding, butternut squash spice bread, and pineapple banana coconut milk shake! MAN! Our bellies are very very FULL!
God is good. Even when things in my life don't feel quite as wonderful as they do right now. God is GREAT!

I'm so thankful to be well now. Last week I was down with some sort of crud. It wasn't as bad as it could've been since I know a thing or two about essential oils (Praise the Lord for THAT awesome provision). I'm also a Young Living Distributor, if you're interested, let me know.
I'm grateful to have been ill. Being sick provides a wonderful way of comparing wellness! If I was always well, I wouldn't realize how wonderful it was to be well! I certainly prefer to avoid being sick, but I'm striving to be thankful/grateful in ALL things.
My walks were out while I was sick, so I'm VERY glad and grateful to be back to that part of my morning routine. Routines are very comforting (increasingly more so) to me. It's very strange. I used to think such a feeling was pretty lame. It's AMAZING how much God is changing me! I'm so grateful!

I am thankful to be fully free of PostPartum Depression for the first time. My fifth baby is 4.5 months old and, if I remember correctly, it's hit prior to now in each preceeding postpartum period. I'm so grateful to hope that it will stay away for good.
Monday morning, during my walk, I imagined a series of scenes... almost like a movie in my head. I saw my past experiences with postpartum depression (especially the first time around!) as if I was mauled... slowly and painfully ripped at, and eventually fully eaten by a big, bad, horriblyhideous dog of hell. I was still aware as I traveled through the digestive system of the hell dog and, yes, still aware as I was pooped out. As poop in a pile, I was conscious and did, at times, feel a desire to give up and just be poop. But even though the changes (through the whole process) were so super slow and took so long it felt like forever... the piles of poop next to each other melded together and eventually reformed into me... but different. Very different. So, I'm not the glamourous phoenix, for sure... but at least I know where I've been and what I am. What we all are, really. Cause that phoenix was originally poop, too.... way back.
Anyway... I felt like I should share that "movie" right after I saw it. I felt like, maybe, if someone else feels like poop in a similar way... well, maybe they'd feel able to share with me... because I also saw that Heavenly Father allowed me those tortures (and those I still endure, just happen to be free of PPD!) so that I could sit in the darkness with another... that I might be able to bring some comfort and hopefully light to their darkness. I sure hope so. I know there were so few who could endure my darkness... those few who did dare... well, even if they might hate me in the future, I will adore them to my dying day!
I believe Heavenly Father takes those He takes through valley so that they are able to guide others through... sorta like trail blazers. Those they guide could rely on God just as the trail blazers did... but perhaps choose not to? I'm not really sure about that part, but I definitely yearn to help others through faster than what I've endured. I know *a* way and sure hope to share it with anyone who may be willing to listen! ^_^

I'm also thankful for greater peace and enjoyment of my life in my heart and mind. God is working on me... in me. I feel the changes as mighty and tumultuous at times... painful and wonderful. I'm pretty sure those around me see little difference. And I'm okay with that. I know how different I feel. And I'm SO grateful for the mighty work our Father God is doing in me! If He can change me (and I bear witness that He does and IS changing me!), He can change ANYone!!! ^_^

I'm thankful for my funny children! They've been saying some of the darndest things lately... and, of course, the way they behave is absolutely hilarious at times.
Did you know exquisite looks like it would be pronounced: ick-squeeze-it to a phonetic reader? This information only came to me by way of hearing my second daughter say the phonetic reading of it and telling me that's how her big sister said it... all to describe a meal their Daddy made. ^_^
Also, do you know the song Whom Shall I Fear ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOkImV2cJDg )? Well, as part of the refrain you hear: "The God of angel armies is always by my side."
Well, my second daughter thought it said, ""The god of anchovies is always by my side!"
How great is that!?
It's almost daily... the funny things they say and do. I'm SO grateful for these children and hope and PRAY i will be blessed to bring a few more into this world. Their light is so bright... and so sorely needed here!

I am so thankful that blessings and trials are equal. The trial may seem unendurable, yet if I can look with the right eyes, I always see some blessing in/of/from it... and always there follow blessings sent, as it were, to wipe the tears away. Of course, they often cause their own tears... but tears of joy instead of sorrow.
I'm thankful for a Loving Heavenly Father who has blessed me so abundantly with the earthly family I have. Growing up with them was a lil' tough for me, but being an adult with them is almost completely a joy and pleasure. I sure am glad to know such a fine group of human beings!
I'm thankful for trials. I'm thankful for blessings. I'm thankful for the gift of eyes to see and ears to hear that I may understand. God is GREAT!
