Justification from men....

Luke 16:15
...., Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Often times when I read the Gospel, and listen to what Jesus says to the Pharisees, I see myself. How many times have I tried to justify myself or my actions in the sight of men, not caring wether it went against God? He knows my heart. There is no hiding that from him, as much as I might be able to hide it from men. He sees the real me. The sinner, the lost and filthy soul that can only be cleaned through Christ Jesus. I praise him that there is a "way", a redeemer that shows me I can be clean. He shows me how to care more about the Lord, and being clear before HIM, and not men.

Lord-
I ask that you help me to live your Word in my life, so I may be your example. Lord forgive me of the times where I cared more about justifying myself before men. Help me Lord to be the wife, mother and friend you want me to be. May You receive all the glory in my life!

In Jesus Name
Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
