It's A Mystery Charlie Brown!

I am learning the value of the mysteries of God.  I used to wonder why God would take so long to bring me through things; why would God allow me to twist in the wind so often or get lost on my journey.  I doubt that I am the only one who has felt this way.  Sometimes I feel like I have done all that I was suppose to do, and I didn't see the results of my "obedience". I am learning that if all that I have or had were based on what I did then I would not have anything because all righteousness comes from God.  It is the grace of God that I am able to abstain from fornication; it is the grace of God that I can find it in my heart to forgive people or to ask forgiveness when I have done wrong.  It is by God's grace that I am able to do anything good because everything that is good and perfect comes from above.  I am learning to be grateful for the righteousness that is in me because it is only in me because God calls me a sweet savour of his righteousness, because he sent Jesus Christ to be a curse for me on the cross so that he could call me the righteousness of God.  God knows my end from the beginning he has already set me up to receive everything that I have ever needed. I just have to keep going, keep living to see the wonderful things that God has had in store for me since before I was born.  As my father he gives me better gifts than any earthly father could give.  He gives me victory over sin and favor in my life that I can't even comprehend.  He gives me the world simply because I believe on Jesus Christ, and he loves me forever.  My life is a thank you to him, and if I have to travel through some things to get to where he wants me to go then I am willing to take that journey praising and believing him all the way.  Truely the mystery of Godliness is great, but the amazing love that God has for us through Christ is the answer to all of our questions, troubles, frustrations, failures.  God wants us to keep pressing for the mark, but he has already called us victorious because he knows that we are what he says we are.  Thank you Lord for making me righteous forever.  Thank you for speaking life into me.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
