God is Awesome!

I am so excited.  I can’t tell you how awesome this is for me.  Today will mark one month since I decided to use my blog as my devotions.  Okay – so that doesn’t seem like a big deal to anyone – you all have heard me chat on and on about my convictions and my views on things and hearing weird stories about my life.  That is all well and good- but not the reason that I started this blog. 

The reason that I started it was because I have always struggled to do daily devotions, I was writing it because a friend and I were talking and discussing and she said that I should write things down.  She is an amazing friend and started encourageing me to write and really get into the word. When i started, it was just to put some thoughts down in writing- she was the only one that I gave the link to.  I then decided, felt really led to use it as my devotional site.  A safe place for me to go and actually write my devotions down.  To get into the word and apply it to my life. 

You know those commercials about “the internet is what you make it”?  Well it really is.  It can easily be used for evil – but at the same time, it can be used for good.  Now I know that God is working through MY life through my blog- I see Him working while I re-organize my priority list and re-evaluate my relationship with Him.  I see him moving in my kid’s lives as my oldest daughter is asking all sorts of questions about Jesus and God at just 3!  I really have been blessed by writing this and by being able to express my thoughts on certain matters in this “safe” arena. 

I love the verses in Colossians 3.  Verses 16 and 17 – “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Since I started devoing EVERY day and making it a priority – I have seen the word of Christ come up in my teaching my children.  My kids ask for songs about Jesus in the car now instead of the other child’s songs.  God is so good people.  Let me tell you.  If you let Him work through you – He will do amazing things!  So for the 12-13 people that will read this today (since that is my average per post) – get into the Bible – find a time for “God time” where you can be intimate with Him and read your Bible.  Figure out a way to let God bless your life.  Follow His guidance and callings and He will make your path straight. 

Also – for the people that do read this blog- thanks – thanks for keeping me accountable and thanks for your comments and thanks for your support.  God has really made me thankful this morning- for my family, my sweet and amazing and encouraging friends, this blog and for HIM!!  God – you ROCK!!

What do you fight about?

I heard a blood curdling scream from the other room, followed by the cries of my other child and then a smack.   I had been sitting at the computer, and leaned my head back closed my eyes, took a deep breath and went to encounter the argument head on.   Apparently my youngest daughter was playing with a stuffed giraffe that my oldest daughter sometimes sleeps with.   Amidst the crying and tears, I was able to formulate the events that took place.   My youngest daughter had gone to the toy room and gotten the giraffe (a green 16” giraffe with brown spots) out of the room and brought it into the other room.   Here, the older sister saw that the coveted giraffe was not in her room and grabbed it from her sister.   The younger one screamed and bit the older sister who then cried and hit the little sister.   As I took another cleansing breath I began dealing with the issue at hand.   It is very difficult to reason with a 2 and 3 year old and let alone a woman, so we ended up agreeing to do

do I mis-use the Bible?

WOW!   This morning I sat and started to read through Ecclesiastes.   I don’t know if the author of Ecclesiastes, Perhaps King Solomon, had a very sarcastic view on life or if he was just babbling.   But I can definitely see how this book could get a lot of people into trouble if they don’t know the full book or continue to read.   There are verses in there that say things like; eat, drink and enjoy the days on earth because they are meaningless, it is good to enjoy your time on earth and do not worry about anything. To get the full meaning of the book, you need to read it all- the true gems are the last two verses.   This book was written by someone (according to my study Bible) that was near the end of his life, he sees man in pursuit of so many things and vainly pursuing hopes and expectations- but faith teaches him that God has ordered all things according to his own purposes and that we need to accept our limitations.   The last two verses are the writers final conclusion: Eccle

predictions...

We were all privileged to see the recent hype about the end of the world coming n May 21 st 2011.   The time came and passed without a rapture, without an earthquake, without a storm…   What were those people thinking and feeling?   This prediction made so many question Christianity and question God in general.   Now there were some good aspects of this prediction.   It got people thinking and talking about salvation and their eternal destiny… and, well, that is all I can think of.   Now lets look at what the non-Christian’s saw: a man, claiming to know the answer, claiming that he was right, who had a following, a way to spread his message and an amazing amount of money which usually makes you right in America.   If you were a non-Christian and you saw this guy talking and then May 21 st came and went, you would either think that Christianity was a crock, or that everything that the Bible says is a lie because his equation came from the Bible.   I had one of my non-Christian friend
