Stormy Monday

 

Today's Verse for Monday, August 11

Psalms 119:28

28 My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me                    according to your word.

We got some much needed rain and a nice break in                          the heat.  I have been so busy with other things I                           totally forgot to show some achievements.

I am officially a certified storm spotter, I have always

enjoyed the weather, I decided it was time to do                            what I have always loved.  The difference                                               between the storm spotter and storm chaser: 

next step is to be AWS certified

A storm spotter and a storm chaser both                                              observe severe weather, but their roles                                             and motivations differ significantly.                                              Storm spotters are trained volunteers                                             who report on storms in their                                                        local area to the National Weather Service (NWS),                             while storm  chasers actively pursue storms to                                observe, document, and sometimes study                                     them, often traveling long distances. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Storm Spotters:

• Role:

Primarily focus on providing real-time reports                                   on storm conditions, such as hail size, wind                                 speed, and tornado sightings, to the                                        National Weather Service. 

• Motivation:

Driven by a desire to help their communities                                        by providing critical information for                                            issuing timely warnings. 

• Location:

Typically stay within their local area or county,                              often near their homes. 

• Training:

Often volunteers with organizations like                               SKYWARN, receiving training from the                                       National Weather Service. 

• Equipment:

May use radios for communication,                                                   but their primary tools are their eyes and                           observational skills. 

Storm Chasers:

• Role:

Actively track and follow storms, often                                             traveling long distances to get close                                                  to severe weather phenomena like tornadoes. 

• Motivation:

Driven by personal interest in severe weather,                          scientific research, or media documentation. 

• Location:

May travel hundreds of miles to intercept storms,                        often covering large areas. 

• Training:

May have formal meteorological training or                                      be self-taught, but often have extensive                                knowledge of storm dynamics and forecasting. 

• Equipment:

May use sophisticated equipment, including                             weather stations, radar,                                                                   and communication systems. 

Key Differences:

• Primary focus: Spotters report,                                           chasers track and observe. 
• Geographic scope: Spotters focus                                              on local areas,                                                                       
  chasers may travel long distances. 
• Motivation: Spotters are community-focused,                    chasers may be driven by personal or                                       scientific interests. 
• Training and Expertise: Both may be trained,                            but chasers tend to have more specialized                     knowledge and equipment.

Today's Verse for Sunday, August 10

Lamentations 3:31-32

31 For no one is cast off by the Lord forever.

32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,                           so great is his unfailing love.

Happy Sunday all.   We have been in the oven again and no relief in sight   Saturday (yesterday (was 95 real feel 116)

Thank you to my faithful followers *I am back to posting*  I took a social media break.  I have been going to Bible study since the end of May and love it!  in my spare time I am doing Bible Journaling and 2 different devotionals every day.   I am growing my relationship with Jesus and God!

Knowing your purpose is key to two very important qualities you need for success:  Tenacity and Resilience 

tenacity is the ability to keep going when you feel like giving up.  You'll need it often in life, particularly in hard times.

Resilience is a little different.  It's the ability to bounce back when you've had a failure or you've been put down by a circumstance or by other people.

This is my niece Dayna *without glasses* and her bestie Ashley taken before Bible study.   We have it at the lake marina....it is so peaceful once it cools off we can have it outside.

This is my friend Tammy we go to church together, praise God she started going to Bible study with me this past week, she loved it and is looking forward to coming back

This week I will get someone to take a pic of my Sis n law, me and my niece,  and will try to get a group pic

Thankful Thursday

 The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin.

—Proverbs 10:8

Happy Thursday all

I am always thankful for my Salvation, and the love of our heavenly Father.                            thankful for a few days of cooler temps, food in the cabinets, a/c for the heat, dependable transportation.

Thankful for the relationship that is growing between my sister n law, and niece, and the great niece and nephew.

Thankful for new found friends, and a special friend that God has brought to me

Please continue to pray for our little church, and that if it closes, I will be able to find another church.   A friends needs financial prayers,  another friend needs an unspoken prayer, families needing prayer, our country.

I hope everyone has a blessed rest of the week and weekend

Thankful Thursday

 

Thankful Thursday

There is so much that I am thankful for I do not know where to begin.

I am always thankful for my salvation.  God's Majesty                         A/C in this continued +100 degree days                                                 I have started going to Bible Study with my sister n law and niece, for those of you who have been following me for a while, know this has been something we have all prayed for. That we would be a family instead of odds.   Right after mama passed *4 yrs ago the 17th of July* we started working on our friendship/family.                          

I would like to ask for prayers for our little tiny church of 10, this week one of the elders he is 94 turned in his keys as he no longer feels safe driving, and once he gets dressed, he fears of falling.            Our church may be closing soon but isn't the right time yet.

God, is working in me, with a few things,  I love how His timing is always perfect.

I hope everyone has a blessed week and upcoming weekend

Today's Verse for Wednesday, July 30

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not                          on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will                                         make your paths straight.

Wordless Wednesday

 

Happy Saturday

 Hey all again the last 2 weeks have been crazy busy with the weather, and dr's appt.

It is spose to storm over night again 1st time since 2019 that all of OK is drought free.  This week Tuesday I started going to a small group bible study with my sister n law and niece, it was so much fun, we had dinner (Mexican food) and a wonderful study.   I will say the fellowship was awesome, and could tell that the Holy Spirit was present.    I miss my church in KS  at times like this.   I am not sure if I am in the right place or not, so if you pray please pray I receive God's guidance.

God has brought someone into my life I never thought I could find love and happiness again after Gary *gator* passed away.  I will disclose more at a later date  

A beautiful ending to a beautiful day 

This is where we had Bible study isn't this peaceful?
