December

DECEMBER! Already~ It seems like only yesterday that we were getting ready to open the pool and sharpen the blades on the mower. Now here we are, getting out the winter coats, going to football and basketball games and yes once again complaining about the weather.

 I am even more aware of how busy and commercialized that our lives have become. It's sad really. We go to spend time with our loved ones and it seems the minute we get there we are planning on when we leave and where our next destination will be. Why is it so hard to just sit and fellowship and "see the beautiful"? I don't want my life to pass me by and then one day realize that I never took the time to stop and see the beauty that God has given me to behold. the morning sun rise, the evening sunset. A mommie bird bringing food to her young as we sit in our porch swing watching her fly by. A snow topped mountain, wiping our children's tear-stained dirty faces after a fall. What happened to the simple wonders of life. The thinkgs that used to amaze us are forever gone and forgotten~

My wish this Chirstmas season is that we STOP and really gander at the beauty He has created for us, and to be forever thankful for a love so huge that it cost us His most precious Son, Jesus. I want to be forever tender to how much He loves us~

Sun Stand Still

Today I am excited for our Bible Study Group to be starting the Sun Stand Still Study! I have been praying and believing that God will indeed answer Sun Stand Still prayers for His Jesusgirls in this study.

I am praying that I will have that audacious faith that pastor Steven speaks of, so that my sun stand still prayers will be answered. i have come to realize that there are things in our lives that we have to get rid of just so that we can have sun stand still prayers answered. I can't give lip service to the fact that I believe God will answer. I can't get angry or upset if He doesn't answer in the way that I feel He should. i have to believe in the promise of knowing that He works everything out for my good. Also I have got to bury the lies that I have believed from the enemy. I plan to do just that tonight! I have been so blessed and I know that God has been getting me ready for just this time~ So I will let you know how HUGE God is working in this study, but you gotta keep up and you may even want to get in on the action for yourself~

WAKE UP!!!

I sometimes look at people and thtink what in the world goes thru your mind!!! I know, I know, you think the same thing as well.  I was reading this morning in the Word and Paul was serious when he said that to be a follower of Christ we have to die to our old nature! Just because Christ is a merciful God and forgives us doesn't mean we just get to keep on living our old way of life. We are calling ourselves Jesusfreaks but we are still living like we were before we said that we were followers of Christ.

In Romans 6 Paul was aking the "Christians" if dead people can sin. Their reply...."Who's dead?" Paul replied very simply and directly: All of us who are Christians! As Christians we cannot continue our former careers as sinners....I am not judging right now, I am asking when in the world will the  "world" wake up. My prayer is that if you are not in a right relationship with the Father, please do it now before it is too late~

Basking in Christ's Love,
