Blogger Friend School #128- Does She or Doesn’t She (Clairol Shampoo)


 

Assignment: Tell the world about your favorite woman in the Bible. Who is she? How did the world judge her? How does God see her? How did God use her? How has this woman affected your life? How does she inspire you to walk out your relationship with God?

Esther is my favorite Bible woman.

How did the world judge her?

She obtained favour in their sight of all who looked upon her.

How does God see her?

He blessed her with favour among men and knew he would use her to protect his people.

How did God use her?

He used her to be brave, and bold in a time when bravery would bring death. He used her to fight for the life of  his people even with the fear of death.

How has this woman affected your life?

Esther- showed in adversity strength. She feared for the lives of her people, and with humility, prayer and fasting she approached the king with gentleness and love. She did not speak harshly or aggressively, instead she prepared her heart, prayed for his heart, and the Lord gave her the way and words to share with the King the deception that was before him, and the fate of her and her people.

At times of adversity and uncertainty-Esther gives me an example on how to be kind, gentle and strong.

How does she inspire you to  walk out  your relationship with God?

Esther turned to the Lord first for direction and answers. She prayed and fasted for 3 days, asking her brethren to fast with her. Nor did she have regard for her own life. Through her example in the Word, I am reminded that I am to seek first the Lord’s will by being on my knees, and in some situations fasting for him to direct me.

    Oh.. have you seen One Night With The King? WE just watched it recently as we celebrated Purim in the van on our trip home from Tennessee (there aren't many other ways to celebrate in a 12 hour long drive..lol) The movie was beautiful - and I love how the depicted Esther on the night she approaches the king.. not bedecked with jewels, but with the pure beauty of a lovely heart.

    Hello~ I thought of using Esther but have clung to Ruth for many years. In times of trials and after prayer I always turn to Ruth for strength and endurance to get me through. Nice post! Thank you for sharing.

    This is who I have always modeled my life after because of what you said: she seeks the Lord first before doing anything else!

    Great post!!

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...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
