Good morning, Father! I am sooooooo happy with how this new system of ViVa Learning is turning out so far! I may only have 2 badges fully complete as I write this, but I have pages and pages of notes keeping track of all the details as they emerge from my times of creating with the Creator… and I have created several templates for more easily and quickly producing graphics, interactivities, and interactive and printable PDFs. LOL, I even got up by 5am after going to bed at 1am — because I had a clearer vision of the reward system, and I wanted to record it without losing it to sleep! For the last couple hours, I’ve had fun collecting graphics and jotting down more little notes of things to remember. I don’t know how I could be any happier, except to be able to visit my children, heehee. And I am confident that will come in time, as well. For now, I am content to build, build, build, not worrying much about time, just following the prompting of the Spirit. I am grateful for everyone who has helped me get where I am today, especially my Mate and my sister in Iowa. I also would like to send out a little blessing to my long-lost friend in Corfu, New York, who comforted and encouraged me during a time I really needed it. Lord, I pray that you bless her this day in some small way that only YOU know she needs. Amen. :)

1 Corinthians 15:37-42 ERV

And when you plant something, what you plant does not have the same “body” that it will have later. What you plant is only a seed, maybe wheat or something else. But God gives it the body that he has planned for it, and he gives each kind of seed its own body. All things made of flesh are not the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds have another, and fish have yet another kind. Also there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the beauty of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of beauty, the moon has another kind, and the stars have another. And each star is different in its beauty. It will be the same when those who have died are raised to life. The body that is “planted” in the grave will ruin and decay, but it will be raised to a life that cannot be destroyed.

I am giving this WHOLE ViVa Learning thing — and all the rest of my work and my daily life — over into the capable Hands of the faithful Shepherd. Lord, if you will, you can take it ALL away, even taking my health or my wifi or my laptop or any other resource I use to do my work or to live my simple, frugal life. I trust you so completely, that I am confident that no matter what happens, you are in control, and I am safe and loved, protected and provided for. I may kick and scream and be upset for a short time when bad things happen, and I may lose sight of the “bigger picture” when I get a nasty emotional thorn in my side, but ultimately I KNOW that you are more merciful than I could ever deserve, Lord. I give you my mind, my hands, my time, my heart, my work, my life. Lead on!

Back to Fran's BLOG Praying with the Word FranLaff.com/BLOG

I have used this little pic to represent my prayer blog since February 2017. It’s a good mix of things that are ME: nature, worship, surrendering self… plus a solid dose of modernity and technology, as I believe this little box-human is one of the Amazon-style graphics that were popular at the time that I found it. Not sure who created this pic, but I do believe I found it on Pixabay, where NO attribution or credit is needed. However, I am quite willing to be corrected if I am mistaken. 😉 🙂 😄 :O>
