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!!

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...

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for people(brothers and sisters) who are willing to reach out and help when they may not even know you... Last week I ordered a Saxon Algebra 1 book from a woman from a homeschooling classified site. The reason why I ordered it is because some where in the sea of boxes I have, there is the test forms for our Algebra and of course I could not find it without opening every box. So I went online and ordered it. The person I was ordering from did not accept Paypal, and I was really needing that test booklet as soon as possible, since that happened to be the math that Maria and Joey were in. I called the woman asking if there was some other way she could help me get these books faster. The first thing she asked me was "Are you  a  Christian?  I said" yes ma'am" She says "I will send the books priority today, before you send me the check. I trust you!" I was amazed, astounded that a sister across the miles, who never saw me or met me would reach her...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
