The inspired life

The world has robbed us!  To be more specific the devil has robbed us.  The bible says that the theif comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy.  But Jesus says He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10) There is a mindset in most of us that keeps us from living the inspired life.  A inspired life is a life that is breathed upon by the Holy Spirit.  However, the world has planted some seeds in our hearts about what life should be that keeps us from being able to live the inspired life that Jesus died to give us.  The world says we have to work for the "inspired life"  but God says it is Him who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.  The amplified bible reads the following:

Philippians 2:13

Amplified Bible (AMP)
13 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while [a]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and [b]delight.
 
Living the "Inspired life" means God gives you not only the desirs to get things done but the power. 
 
The world has taught us to "strive" and "work hard".  The world teaches us that we have to earn what we get, but in God's Kingdom we "receive" what we do not deserve and what we did not earn.  
 
We have built our mindset for life on worldly principles for years and years.  We are reaping that mindset.  As we move in a direction of the life that Jesus died to give us, we have to realize things are not going to change overnight.  However, because we reap what we sew, we have to start sewing to a life that is inspired by the Holy Spirit, so we can start to reap the harvest of an inspired life. The bible says "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap"
 
That means we have to change our mindset and the way we do things.  The bible says :
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
 
You have to give God time to work some things into you so you can birth those things in your life.  The world has also taught us to want things  fast.  If we don't get the results we want fast enough we stop what we are doing and try something else.  If it's too hard; we think something is wrong.  This is the exact mindset that causes us to abort the seed that would lead us to the "Inspired Life".  Pleease get this, if you keep sewing to the same things, you are going to get the same results.  That means you might have to step back from some things in your life for a little while, even leave some things undone for a little while, until you can return to those things with the will and the power from God to get it done.  That is what living an "inspired life" is all about.  It's not about being lazy, it is about getting your desires and your power from God.
 
Sewing to something new to manifest in your life is not going to be comfortable, it's not going to feel good, but if God has given you a vision for your life you have to keep your eyes on that.  You can only walk this walk with a God inspired vision for you life.

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...

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...

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. ...
