His pasture

The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters. 

For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand

Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who has made us and not we ourselves.
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Are we living in the Lord's pastures.  I thought about something a minister has said to me a couple times and I just really got it!  She said "my family has to seek God in order to find me".  See as we seek God and walk with God we dwell in His pasture.  It really does translate us into another place.  When she said that her family has to seek God to find her, I didn't really know what to think about that, but now I realize just how good that is.  We live in a culture that is busy and fast paced.  There is alot of pressure.  But the Lord makes his people to lie down in green pastures.  If we follow Him as sheep do a shepherd, He will always lead us to green pastures.  Shepherds don't lead their sheep to barren fields.  He leads them to fields where they can graze and have plenty of grass to eat.  Check this, some of us think that the Lord's pasture is just some place to escape to when life gets hard.  The Lords pasture is not somewhere to escape to when life gets hard, it is where His people are suppose to dwell all the time.  Colosians 3:3 says that you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. As we lie down in the Lord's pasture,  there should be an outflow that blesses everyone around us. People are so caught up in "serving" the Lord when first and foremost you need to be grazing in His pasture.

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...

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...

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. ...
