What? Eight Months?

Ok, so I'm not that good at this stuff. Journaling or writing for that matter was never my thing. Who knew I would become an English teacher. I still am trying to give this a shot.
God has dealt with me in many more ways than I can count in the last few months. More or less it has to do with patience and I seem to have none. I've always heard to never ask for patience because you would be put in situations that would try your patience. Well, I didn't ask for it but once again things and people are trying what little patience I have.

Have you ever felt as though what you were supposed to do and what was good for you were opposites? I'm there. I don't know. Mike is great comfort but he is there also. I guess we'll just wait on God to give us the answer.

I'm tired of the conflict. Tired of dreading and tired of making myself do things because it's what I'm supposed to do. Do you ever just want to skip it?

First Post

Ok, I'm new to this blog thing. Since I grew up in a generation that didn't typically have a computer in the home, I'm still learning.

I title this blog site God's Dealings with Telly because he has really been dealing with me lately. I feel like my friends need to know what God is working on in me so they can pray for me and understand my daily struggles.

God's working on Telly people and I mean working. I've so many things wrong with me I don't even know where to begin. Thankfully He does. The things I've learned this year.

I've always had a very hard head and a very large mouth. In the past few months, He has been working on making my head softer and my mouth stay shut. Oh, the times I've wanted to tell it like I think it should be. There is strength through God.

For those who don't know, our church is starting a new ministry. I call it a ministry rather than a service because it is more than just church on Sunday morning. Firstlinc is what they are calling it. Mike and I have been praying and talking about a ministry like this for the past year and a half and it is finally happening. While we are so excited it has come with some heartache and much prayer. God dealt with me in so many ways during this trying time.

There is more to come. Stay tuned.
