Keeping it simple, believing God simply!

As human beings we make life so complicated.  We make everything about life complicated.  That's why it pleased God to save us through the simplicity of the cross and Christ crucified.  To some the fact that we can just believe on Jesus Christ and get saved, is foolishness.  The bible says the foolishness of the cross pleased God.  Why??  What can this tell us about how God wants us to operate on a daily basis.  Well, lets see..............He speaks about having the faith of a child in the gospels.  He says in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must receive it as a little child.  What does that tell you???  Hmm-mmm,  children are not worried about keeping a bunch of laws.  They are not worried about getting it right.  Children have awesome faith!  They will believe what you tell them, simply because you said it.  Will we believe what God says, simply because He said it????  Will we believe we are healed simply because He said it???  Will we believe that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly beyond what we are able to ask or think simply because He said it.  When my daughter asks me for something and I say I will get it for her,  it doesn't always mean right away.  Sometimes, months pass.......and my daughter says to me "Mommy, remember you said you were going to get me this?"  Guess what, she reminds me and I get it for her.  That's why it's important to pray God's promises back to Him.  It's not for Him (he does not need a reminder) it's for us.  To remind us, that He will do what He says He will do

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. ...
