The time is now

Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here. The time is now.

The time is now to follow the Lord. The time is now to respect and love our parents. The time is now to do what we are called to do as children of God. Too often our thinking is the time is NOW for ME. We were never meant to be number #1 in our lives. We are to put God first, others second and then us.

As you notice time often goes by quickly while other times it can travel rather slowly. It only travels slowly when we want it to go by quickly. Odd isn't it! It’s a quick little thing that slips by before we know it.



Putting things off till tomorrow is something we should never get in the habit of doing because we don’t know what tomorrow will bring. One day I was living a healthy life, the next day I found out I had cancer. Just that quickly my life changed.


We are not here to get all we can in for ourselves first then start the, “God first others second” phase. No, when you put God first you’ll be surprised how much you will get out of it yourself. Now is the time, now is the place.


They call me grandma

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
