It's the little things...

that happen in my day that make me realize that God is ever present. Today was one of those days that was filled with no more stress than normal, but I always have this underlying fear that I may run out of resources before I am able to fulfill what I deem as necessary.

My Friday's usually intale getting ready for work & being on the air by 0730 and then once I am done, I check for the weeks requests for Bumper Stickers and review the weeks prayer requests.

Every other Friday I go with my mom down to Kings Bay Naval Station to go to the commissary. Today was that day. We headed out later than normal because Nichole, my daughter, had "Rule the School" day for her preview of Middle School. I was stressing on the way down today because my eyes were killing me, and for the past month I have been trying to remember where I put my glasses. I don't have to wear them often, mostly for eye fatigue, but my eyes have been killing me and I was at the point of going to by doctor and ordering a new pair...and that is money that I don't have in the budget at the moment. So that was a bit of a stress on my already over active mind.

What brought all the worry back to my glasses was that my daughter had found a pair in the car and asked if they were mine. I said no that those were my friends glasses and I had meant to give them back to her yesterday. I told my daughter just to leave them in the car so I would remember to take them to my friend this upcoming week...
well...I went to put up my sunglasses...10 minutes ago & I saw my friends glasses still in my glasses drawer (yes I have a drawer for glasses) and then I thought...wait a minute, if these are my friends glasses, then whose glasses are in the car? We had searched my car a number of times for my glasses and they were not in there - I was praying all day for God to help me find my glasses so I wouldn't have to buy a new pair and then tonight...my glasses were in the car! How amazing and awesome is that!

I got my daughter out of bed to tell her what happened and then I asked her this simple question..."Do you know what you call it when this kind of thing happens?" Her response..."A miracle." How much better is that! My daughter recognizes when God moves in daily living! That too, is a miracle!

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...
