Thanksgiving Eve

As I am at work this morning I am once again bombarded with multiple thoughts and I am beginning to wonder if I am going to make it through today with my sanity intaked. All week we (my co-worker and me) have been going on air and saying each day what we are thankful for - just one thing. It is more challenging than you'd think. I have to say that God has answered several prayers over the past 24 hours, and I am thankful for a faithful God as I try to stay faithful to Him.

As I have said, I am at work right now. When Bart and I get off the air, I have to track for Sunday and we have to track Friday's show. Off I go on this overcast dreary day to turn in my leased Honda Pilot. I really love my Honda, but I really love not having a car payment more - so I am turning my car in and I am getting my Nissan Altima out of the shop. I have to pay a couple thousand to get it out, but then I'm done...it's paid for and it's mine, so I'm happy. But with that I still have to get the tags for the car and I have drop insurance on the one car and add insurance on the other...all this before going into work tonight.

Mike said that he is working tonight as well. So I called my mom to ask her to watch the children. My poor mom. My poor babies. Two days in a row staying with my mom. I hope they will appreciate her and all that we are sacrificing for each other. It's all in a days work though, right? I know that I am not the only person who stretches the minutes, am I?

All this is what is to be done today, and I am taking the time to blog. I am going to try my best to blog everyday. I'm sure that I will not always have something to say, but it sure does help my poor brain. So what am I wanting to accomplish with this blogging? I am not sure yet. I think it'll end up being a mixture of advice, scripture, testimony, daily life, my frustrations and my triumps. We shall see.


~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
