So what do you do...

when you know that you really need to simplify? I wish I had an answer for that questions, but I am still searching for it. I am really over stretched and my desire is to get all the unnecessary activities out of my life. It seems like I'm doing this all the time though. I know how I want my life to go...it's getting there that seems to be the challenge.

So what is my ideal day you may ask? Wake up, shower, dress, pray, read a chapter of my Bible. Eat breakfast w/ my kids, get them off to school and then go into work. Get the kids from school and then help them with their homework, and then if they are in an activity...take them...as a family...and enjoy that time together.

I want to have an hour a day to practice piano everyday and have a seamless worship practice every week. I would love to have no guilt when I feel happy and I would love to not feel like everything I am doing is an issue.

Maybe, one day, I will have that, but for now I now I need to complete the tasks set before me. I am going to continue to work p/t for a little while longer and I will work towards getting a keyboard or piano in the house so I can practice everyday & I am determined to do all that I can to help my children fulfill their dreams. And I have decided that no matter what may happen...I am going to continue to live to the best of my ability by God's word and Jesus' teachings.

Sometimes I dream of running off to the mission field and just living out my days preaching the Gospel....wherever He leads, I shall follow.

~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...
