I am...

I watched a movie that portrayed a woman who pretended to be someone else only to die before she could achieve her life's personal and professional goals.  God put it in my heart that no one has time to pretend to be anyone else.  God said "I am that I am," and because he is, we are also.  God gave each of us an identity that may seem ambiguous but has potential to maximize our existence and that of those all around us.  We don't need to conform to a world image to make great things happen.  God's creation of each of us was a miracle and there was no mistake in it. 


 It amazes me when I think about how many times I attempt to question God about what he is doing with my life.  He simply reminds me that he's got me covered. He is who my faith encourages and who my purpose needs.  That means that God shows himself according to our faith and his purpose.  To those who don't believe in God, God is the judge and the gavel is coming down (not condemnation here just reality folks). To those who believe that Jesus is the Messiah, God is our father who would do anything for us.  For those who believe that God will protect them, God is the good shepherd.  I could go on and on.  I can imagine Moses saying "God  who am I suppose to tell them sent me?"   When the creation asks the creator to prove his identity, it's kind of like a joke.  God's answer is authoritative and true.   God tells Moses "tell them I am has sent you,"  This same God that felt no need to solicit any kind of grand introduction produced miracles that took all of Egypt by storm through the obedience of Moses.  God showed who he was with simple introduction and no uncertainty.   God was and is and is to come, and  God had an identity in mind for each of us before time began. If we own the identity that we were created for, we would shock the world with what God will do through us. God  is great, and we are his product. Amen.

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...
