the only difference between me and th worst person ever

so the only difference between me and the worst person in the world is the fact that i have jesus and he has me. i know that i was created by god and therefore i donlt have to search for infamy. god created me and that makes me significant.  if i didn't know that my value then i would definitely be living a destructive life style. i have to remind myself every day how important god sees me to keep from making destructive decisions.  if it weren't for my realizatio that i matter because god created me to be somebody i would either drown myself in pride or pity. people either push to be recognized or they wallow in  invisibility. at least that is my experience with people. god created masterpieces when he made each of us. we did not do it for ourselves and we can not undo it.  we can only accept that jesus died so that we could live up to our intended greatness or not.  there is nothing wrong with pursuing the greatness within ourselves, but the bottom line is that god is who makes us great.  he  has gifted each of us with greatness. i am not proud of what i accomplish, i am grateful to be able to do anything. it is god's grace that allows us to accomplish anything, and the only thing to keep any of us from being our worst is gratefulness. every evil begins with a sense of entitlement.  thank you lord for saving me from myself.  god is worthy of all the credit for the greatness in us.

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...
