Tuesday Tilt

I'm already running behind! Last night the girl had dance rehearsal until 8:30pm so that made for a late evening. I know that we as parents sacrifice for our children so I didn't mind the late hour for class. My Monday however had many other little changes that causes a person who is really OCD to kind of flip out a bit. And I know that I don't need to "flip out" (only in my head) because God is in control - of all of it! So I should not mind these small changes that I have to work around and make sure that everyone gets to where they need to be! I had jokingly told Mike the other day that I should start a new business as a "Scheduler". I know that there's a market for this type of business, but really...I don't know if I could handle everyone else's small fires when I can barely handle my own. So instead I decided to just concentrate on thinning out what's on my plate (even more) and focus on less have to's and more want to's. We'll see how that goes. My life feels like it's being tossed about right now, which means that change is coming. I'm not sure what that will entail (do any of us though). I just pray that I am strong enough to get through these changes (whatever they are) and come out w/ my head held high. I know...this blog is really RANDOM...but that's how I role ;-) I just needed to get all this "stuff" out of my head so I can focus on the show and the rest of my not so crazy, crazy day. ~Peace & Blessings~ Jen

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...
