Jesus is the Son of God!

It is so easy to have doubt.  Doubt that Jesus was really who we believe that He is or that He was really the ONE.  I know that I have had my fair share of doubt and it has only come recently too.  Satan is trying to get me to stop pursuing a relationship with Christ, and so he is implanting these seeds of doubt in my mind.  Like, “was Jesus really THAT arrogant to think that HE was the son of God?” or “People like Joseph Smith claimed to be the be-all-end-all for his religion – Mormons only really look at his good things that he did, not the bad (of which there was plenty…)”  It is so easy to say – “why do I believe that Jesus is the son of God?”

You know- the Bible wasn’t always the Bible.  It was written all over the place, it was brought together by people to give us a glimpse into who and what God really is and was and is to come.  It was written all over the world, in different parts of the world at different times in the world.  These people didn’t set out and say, “I think that I am going to write a Bible today”, they were recording history and their situations.  Something that helped me was looking into it on-line.  I love that MIT did a study on it!  It was about how many prophesies did Jesus fulfill?  There were 48 main prophesies that were made and Jesus fulfilled everyone of them – the likelihood that he could fulfill even 8 of these, mathematically speaking, is one in ONE TRILLION.  Okay – if that wasn’t enough – he fulfilled everyone of them! 

“The chance of any one man's fulfilling all of 48 prophecies is one in ten to the 157th power.  The electron is about as small an object as we can imagine.  If we had a cubic inch of these electrons and tried to count them, it would take us (at 250 per minute) 19,000 times 19,000 times 19,000 years to count them. Now mark one of them and thoroughly stir it into the whole mass.  What chance does our blindfolded man have of finding the right electron?”  (http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824-How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Jesus-Fulfill-)

And that is only ONE of the many sites that speak of all the prophesies that Jesus fulfilled.  They detail quite a few of them out.  It is pretty cool to know, and be reassured, that we are following the Son of God- that the likely hood is so low that there would be another that could ever fulfill all the prophesies made, all over the world and at different times in the world.  Praise God!

John 1:1-5
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”

Definitely get into scripture and see for yourself, research and be reassured.  I feel like I am on Reading Rainbow back in the day…  “But don’t take my word for it…”

Balancing

This past year, I have been learning a lot about balancing the books.  I am blessed with an amazing husband who has always taken care of the financial aspects of or marriage, including me in on important decisions and making things work and helping me to understand; but when you run your own (confidential) business, you have to do it yourself.  I would say I was doing okay, but it is HARD to get the right balance when you aren't used to it.  I have to be very diligent and stay on top of things or I have to go back and try to correct things and remember things.  It is really a challenge.  I am NOT a numbers or math person.   Then I began thinking about life in general, how it is difficult sometimes to manage and balance the times in life that are very busy or more challenging.  How often do we just let things slide and then go back and try to fix them later? During my reading of Isaiah 40 this morning, I was reminded that God is better at balance than anyone out ther

Daily Bread

I have a dog.  He is cute , but he is still a dog.  That means that he is reliant on me.  He likes me no matter what, If I am not around him, he flips out a little and has anxiety.  If others try to claim him or take care of him when I'm not around, he growls and barks at them.  My dog's name is Spike .  He is a Yorkie.  I promised my husband if he got me a girlie dog, I would name it something masculine so he wouldn't have to go outside and yell fru fru when calling our dog.  Spike knows that I take care of him.  He knows that my husband and I are the two that take care of him the most.  The kids try to play with him and he runs to us with the toys.  The kids try to take him out and he only comes back when one of us calls him.  He knows our voice and respects our voice.  He also is needy.  Like he relies on us to take him outside to do his business and to feed him and give him water.  Spike will let us know when he is out of food or water, he goes to his dish and bumps

The Easter Story with M&Ms

I am preparing for my oldest daughter's school party for Easter.  I was racking my brain trying to figure out a cheap, but awesome party favor to give to everyone.  One of the things that I love about her going to a Christian School is I can do things like this. I looked at all the Easter M&M Poems out there, and didn't really like them, they didn't flow quite right or, which may have bothered me more, they didn't go in the order they set out in the beginning of the poem.  We have a discount grocery store in town and they had large bags of M&Ms on sale for $1.80 so I bought a bunch and will be splitting them up and putting them with this poem that I made up instead.  It is definitely inspired by the Christmas one that is floating around out there and a few of the other Easter ones- so I can't take credit for the creativity of the M W 3 and E idea.... The TRUE Easter story isn't about a bunny - it is about a Salvation - about a Savior that died on the
