The Perfect Fit

When we are born God has already placed gifts for a  purpose within each of us. We all have a job to do while on this earth, and just like the misuse of work materials are gifts can be misused too.  When God gives us resources for a particular purpose and we use them in other ways that are not in his purpose it is like stealing from God.  How many of us are abusing our gifts and talents doing things that won't matter in a year, a month, a week, a day? Do you ever remember Getting a dessert "for your parents" when you knew they didn't want it in the hopes of being told that you could have it?  I used to do that to my parents, but somehow it seemed to backfire on me. I ended up watching my parents eat "their" peace of pie, rewrapping food, or just throwing it away.  God is telling us today that he doesn't want us blinding pursuing our own dreams when they have nothing to do with why God put us here.  God doesn't want us to give him what he never asked for or wanted. It is a difficult thing sometimes to decide what to do with our skills.  How many times do people change their majors in college or go to get a second degree?    Only when we are in our purpose can we create something that will last and bless our lives.  Have you ever gotten that feeling like even though things were going well you just weren't satisfied?  It might be that you aren't where you are suppose to be. Find your purpose, and don't let this world steal your gifts from you.  They belong to God and you are the steward of them.   Fulfillment comes from knowing that you are exactly where you are suppose to be doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing, but it is uncomfortable to be out of place. God created us to be a perfect fit somewhere in this world.

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...
