Much to do about...

nothing seems to be my current state of affairs. Yesterday as I was running all over town I realized one thing(it hit me like a ton of bricks) I seem to always be waiting. Even in the midst of running errands, I came to the understanding that even when I was done I'd still be waiting before the conclusion. This is what I mean.

I had to go get poster board for my son's project. I picked up the wrong type so I have to go back and get the right stuff. So he is waiting on me to finish his project for school. I went to the hospital (finally) to get Nichole's medical records from her accident. I should have done that 3 weeks ago. Now I have found out that I still have to fax over a sheet to be filled out before I send all the paperwork to the insurance company. Then I'll be waiting on them to respond. It's all doing just to wait. Funny.

So in response to this...the Holy Spirit directed me to the understanding that we are to wait...we are always waiting. And what are we suppose to do while waiting. We are suppose to watch for His return and we are to be Praising God while we wait. Whether we are waiting for an answer, a resolution, an end to a situation or the start of something new in our life...we are always waiting. Waiting, I do believe, is a good thing. It brings about an understanding that it is all in God's timing and not our own.

There are many scripture references about waiting. One of my favorites is James 5:7, "Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains."

So with this new found insight (or reminder) I will wait upon the Lord to provide for me what it is that He has in store for me.

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...
