Miracles on my mind.

Why did Jesus perform miracles?  It seemed to be a major instrument in His ministry.  That gives me chills.  I would define miracles as something no man could ever do.  Like no man could ever feed thousands of people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish; and have leftovers.  No man could ever turn water into wine.  No man could take a blind man and make him see.  Jesus did countless other miracles.  I just have to ask "Why Jesus, what did you want us to take from the working of miracles?"  Miracles are amazing and exciting but there is something else, I know it is.  What does the performing of miracles do for our faith.  I have miracles on my mind and I want to pray for some miracles for people this week.  I wanna do this not because I need some excitement in my life but I wanna know and see how miracles bring glory to God.  I wanna know How God desires to use miracles in the lives of believers today.  I want to learn something new about God in this area, about Who He is and what He wants our mindset to be in this area.  Deep in my heart I think many of us lead a boxed in life when it comes to this area.  Myself included.  I just think we box God in alot.  I believe some of us have done it for so long we don't ever realize we are doing it.  I can't speak for everybody but I have a heart that desires great things in my life, I want action, adventure, and big risks to take in living a life for Jesus.  I wanna put myself out there and say "God whatever you wanna do, God use me, God use me". 

Does there have to be a problem or something wrong with you for God to perform a miracle in your life.  I don't think so.  God loves to show us who He is, His power, strength, and glory.  There is a quote from one of my favorite books that says "Nature is not primarily functional. It is primarily beautiful.  In the world we live in, we evaluate and analyze way too much.  Use men as a example.  Men love to be strong on our behalf.  Most good men, love to provide beautiful, nice things for their wife and loved ones.  It's not because we've been so great to deserve these things.  They do it because it's a part of their nature.  They do it because of the fulfillment it gives to them.  They get that from God.  God wants to show Himself strong on our behalf just because it's a part of His nature.  He performs miracles to show us how great He is. Miracles have everything to do with Who God is and nothing to do with anything we have done.

Testimony - great customers, great tips, $400 refunded from my school, Financial blessings

I had to blog about this.  I couldn't keep this to myself.  Something happened a couple days ago.  Just to share a little bit of the backstory before I tell you, my husband and I had a huge financial crisis about 3 years ago.  Things have gotten better little by little but it takes grind, especially on his part.  He is a great husband and dad so he takes pleasure in providing for his family.  This is a great entry point into what I'm about to share with you.  As we were approaching the beginning of the school year there were some other expenses approaching as well.  My husband and I believe our kids should be involved in extra curricular activities.  As they get older we feel they need constructive ways to channel their energy.  And they need to get away from the constant lure of the Ipad.  This is a big challenge for today's generation and you have to be proactive, especially with your children.  Anyway,  my daughter wa...

Starting your day

When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well.  I burn out pretty fast.  When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better.  Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD;       I will wait for the God of my salvation;       My God will hear me.  It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well.  When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day.  It helps me to not get "caught up"  I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up.  Noah is home from school, not feeling very well.  I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today.  I'm praying that I to would...

Think before you defend yourself

I get on social media and I do my best not to be critical of anyone.  It's not my place.  I do find it kind of interested how personal relationships, insecurities, and hurts are expressed where the whole world can see.  Social media is like this enigma that continues to spark my interest.  I find myself asking "why would he/she share something so deep and personal with people who don't know them or even care?".  I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.  I just find myself being very curious and intrigued about why? There is one trend I see, on social media, that sparks a bit of concern.  The amount of time we spend defending ourselves and our decisions on social media.  I get concerned because I realize that when we spend a "noticeable" amount of time defending ourselves publicly, it is a strong indication that their is a much bigger private battle going on within .  Social media speaks volumes to me about inner battles we go through. ...
