God speaks

This is just a candid post about what God has been saying to me lately.  I have been reading this book called "Mission of Motherhood".   The thing that has really stood out to me is how to follow Christ's example in how He treated his disciples for raising my own children.  Christ took so much of His time to be with them, talk to them, teach them, find out what they were thinking, and He allowed them to witness His ministry on earth first hand.  Christ did not give everyone the time He gave to His disciples.  He spent a good part of His time pouring into them.  he was equipping them to change the world and that is what we should equip our children to do as well, but make no mistake about it,  it requires a huge sacrifice of time, energy, and your own agenda.  It means to lay down your own life.  Somehow this Word from God has taken up root in my heart and I Feel it growing in me..  I am going to tell u something powerful.  Do you know that as soon as I relax and give myself over entirely to God's  purpose, I start getting phone calls from friends and family in need.  The key to getting God to use you in the lives of others, is surrendering yourself to the needs that are in your own home.  But wait a minute, this does not look like what u think its going to look like.  Sometimes you think you are suppose to have certain things together.  But God wants to use you with things just the way they are.  he wants to use you in the state you are in when you surrender to Him.  There is a certain posture, and it looks different for everybody, that we have to be in to live a surrendered life.  But to often we get out of that posture trying to "fix things up". But no........................at the very moment when you are willing to "surrender all" again, pause and look around you.  Don't try to fix anything, you are right where you are suppose to be..........It might not look like it but you are.  You might look like a hot mess!!  Don't try to fix it,  God will fix it.  Jesus tells us
Matthew 6
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of 
these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?


Do you think God wants you to look beautiful?  He does!!! Aren't the lilies of the field beautiful.  Matter-a-fact how much beauty resides in God's creation as a whole??? A lot!!!!  Don't look to the worlds devices to be beautiful,  God has His own way to beautify His people.  You wanna know how???

Psalm 149:4

New King James Version (NKJV)
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation

Wow it says that salvation beautifies us!!!! salvation means a whole lot more than being
saved to live for eternity in heaven with God.  It is chock full of benefits for you to believe God for right now!!!!i know we often don't understand how all this works, but you have to let God work His ways, they are not out ways, But they work and His works last forever

remember God brings beauty out of unexpected places and His spirit moves in area of chaos and brings order

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.

When we are troubled................

Have you have let the challenges you face, become a distraction for you?  I have! Matter-a-fact, I'm going through it now.  I hate it when I do that, because when you begin to let your heart become troubled about something, it's not long before fear begins to creeps in as well.    Then I feel like it gets hard to focus on the other things you need to focus on, and it's hard to enjoy the blessings that you have.  There is such a ripple effect when you let challenges trouble you.  It leads to distraction, then, fear, then it starts to rob you of your peace, your joy and if you let it, it can completely consume you.  God tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence.  There are 2 things in the bible that God tells us to guard:  Our hearts and our mouths.  We have to watch what we let come into our hearts and we have to watch what we allow to proceed from our mouths.  Even though we don't ignore challenges, it's important we don't let them take up residence in our

The best fight ever...............

Marriage.................................It's not easy.  It is a colorful creation full of ups and downs, highs and lows.  And some desperate times.  It cannot be done without God. It is His invention and only He can navigate you through it.  But marriage is worth fighting for.  You don't always have the energy to fight anymore and that's ok.  It's ok to not be ok.  It's ok to not be ok with your marriage.  It's ok to not be ok with your life.  Just know that not being ok, with your marriage, doesn't mean that it's over.  Not being ok, with your life, doesn't mean that its over.   In the last couple weeks I have struggled with temptations of epic magnitude.  God has seen me in my struggle.  Struggling with my emotions.  Struggling with my desires.  Struggling to stay faithful.  He saw me. He didn't look at me and say "I can't believe you are thinking this".  He didn't look at me ans say "I can't believe you are
