Spoken Word

Today I am doing something different.  Have you ever seen anyone perform "spoken word"?  Well, this was put on my heart this morning, it is to be read in the format of spoken word, rhytmatic and fun.  I hope you enjoy it.


Have you ever stopped to wonder why
God made the birds to fly.
He made the grass green,
And the air to be unseen
He made the seasons all,
Winter, summer, spring and fall
He created each of us unique,
Some to work and some to speak
He gave us all something sweet,
The nails pierced His son’s hands and feet
For our sins Jesus suffered and bled
A crow of thorns placed upon His head. 
He was crucified so I can live,
His love He did so freely give.

Have you stopped to wonder why,
For you, He did die?
He said, you don’t have to be ideal,
My perfection will live through you with zeal.
So, why are we not sharing God’s news?
Why are we allowing so many to have the blues?
Why don’t we share His promise of a great tomorrow,
Help ease the suffering and sorrow.
He made us for a reason and gave us a charge.
Share the news, live it out large.
He shared this in the great commission,
Charged us all, gave us a mission
In Matthew 28, verse 19 and 20 Jesus said that we were to go
Go make disciples of all nations, so they would know.

Know that All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory
He can take that, He can use your story.
My life isn’t perfect, but I am filled with peace.
How He saved us, brings me to my knees.
Because we fall short, He sacrificed
His son died on the cross, He bled and died.
Sad story?  Yes, that’s true
He did this all just for me and you.
But what is the best part of all this sadness?
He ROSE from the grave to bring us all gladness. 

So lets show our appreciation
Don’t live our lives with only self-motivation
Live to put God first, others second and yourself third
And you will figure out why God gave us that bird.
Why that bird can fly, why the grass is green
God’s wonders were made to be heard and seen.
He created all this for our sake, for our pleasure
So with you, I want to share the wonderful treasure.
Ask God into your heart
And in you, new and wonderful things will start.
Ask Him, the Lord Jesus Christ to come in
He will rid your black heart of sin.
He will make your life transform
Love and peace will be your new norm.

Now, being a Christian isn’t always easy
It isn’t life all sweet and breezy.
I don’t want to lie to you so I will tell you,
The world may hate you, even expel you.
But isn’t it worth it to know that God on High,
The one who made everything and did suffer and die.
Is looking down and saying “well done”
To you, His good and faithful son.

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
