I am praying...

that Chris & Conrad are OK. They were suppose to be here at the station by 8AM, but it's 0912 & no word on where they are. I'm sure they are fine, but I am praying regardless.

I am actually excited about today ~ today is a great day. God has provided so much for my family & I am just so thankful. I am feeling humble and awed by Him today. I met the some really amazing people last night while I was at work at the Brunswick Millhouse. It is always great to sit down and learn about others...where they are from & what they are doing. I met Suzanne last night. She is going to college in CA. She is finishing her degree in Forensic Psychology . She was a very interesting person & I hope our paths cross again.

I did learn, as I sat and talked with Suzanne, that she lost her older brother when she was 9. She was there with her mom...and she shared a part of her story with me last night after I had told her that I am writing a book about moms & the children that they have lost. I am intrigued by God's working in my life as I still struggle to write this book. I am almost afraid to ask for the stories...I know how difficult it is going to be to retell their stories, but I know that it will help so many others when they read the book. Please pray for me as I continue to work on this project.

Chis & Conrad concert tonight & I am looking forward to it...I will be feeling better about it all once we hear from them, however. Much to be in prayer about today. I'll let you know how God moves today...

~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...
