So...God is Changing My Mind

Have you ever been to a point where your thinking has taken you as far as you can go with it?  Have you ever felt like there was nothing more that you could think of to get further in your life, and did you feel doomed to be where you are forever? I had that feeling for a long time.  There sometimes seems like nothing I can do to make my life move forward.  I get exhausted and almost resigned to seeing my life expectations end.  It is here where God smiles on me as if to say "If you only saw what I see.  Come up a little higher."  God never intended for any of us to stop growing and prospering.   God is not linear but he is dynamic, and as his children we are also made to be dynamic.  God wants to open up my eyes and your eyes to greater possibilities.  We are uncomfortable where we are because God has placed a desire in us for more.  God has created us for a tailored purpose.  We have to fulfill his work in us for us to feel satisfied. Our work on this earth is a lifetime of work.  It doesn't stop when we succeed or fail at one thing.  God wants us to keep pushing and thriving as we trust in his vision for us.  If we keep chasing after God and his will for our lives he will open up our eyes to amazing ideas, opportunities, paths to greatness.  God doesn't just want us to be good, he wants us to be great!  God has allowed things in my life to go a certain direction that is causing me to change my mind about myself.  I CAN do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I no longer accept things at face value and I am pushing for what God says that I can do and have. As a walk in faith and expectation God opens doors for me.  I trust God to make my life amazing.  Everything in my life that is good comes from him anyway.  Everything that I have is something that God has given me.  Lord I will take everything that you want to give me.  I'll take it all, and I recognize that to whom much is given much is required.  Thank you Lord.  Don't be afraid to take everything that God gives you and take care of it. I am reminded of the parable of the master who entrusted three of his servants with some of his wealth.  I want to grow what God has given me into something greater.  I will take whatever God wants to give me and I'll maximize it for his glory.  When God's people do great things God is lifted up, and as he is lifted up all men are drawn unto him.  Our victory is God's victory and our greatness is to the glory of God.  Dare to be shockingly, unbelievably, irrefutably, miraculously, awe inspiring.  After all we have the spirit of God living within us to guide us into all truth.  God is calling his people to think bigger and come up higher.  We are a royal priesthood, and it is time we take our royal status seriously.  No more accepting anything that tries to make us forget that we are God's princes and princesses in his kingdom.  We are kingdom kids, and our daddy is the king of kings!

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...
