My Mother's Day...

was great! I am so blessed. My Mother's Day began on Saturday. My fab hubby & kids left the house around 9:30 & I rolled out of bed around 10 & I got to relax in the glorious silence. I cleaned the bathrooms & balanced the checkbook and began to read a new book.

Around 11 Mike called to let me know that all the kids wanted to go to the movies, not just the boys. So I said OK! We all went to the 1 o'clock showing of Iron Man II.
It was a good movie...a lot of action. As we were leaving...we were invited to go and see How to Train A Dragon...so we had dinner out & went back to the movies! It was so great to chill out with my family & catch a double feature! I don't think we've ever done that before.

Sunday was so nice...started w/ breakfast & presents! My kids made some gifts & bought some gifts. I now have a good camera! I'm still holding out for the 35MM style, but I love my new Nikon digital camera...How sweet! We went to church with my MIL (Mother In Law) and then home for lunch before going over to spend time with my mom! After that I took the kids over to swim at Nanny's house (MIL). I went home and relaxed for a bit before getting dinner started & just enjoyed the evening.

Now it's Monday & I am relaxed and ready for the week. I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store as I walk the path in which he has given me, content in knowing that I am His and that He will take care of me fully!

Have a wonderful & blessed day...

~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...
