Same Kind of Different as me…

Over at Bloom book club- we are reading through an incredible book.. I shared a few post back about this book. 

Here are some questions they asked about the book.. These are my answers:

How did Denver's story impact you? It amazed me that he showed so much strength through his pain and struggles.

Did it shock you? No his life did not shock me. I am not naive to prejudice or injustices.

Do you ever have the urge to do something, but for some reason you don't, like Ron did on page 23?  There have been many times I have had the urge to say or do something, but the mindset of stay out of it kicks in, or even self preservation? Which ever it is , it is not right to  do something when someone is in need, hurting or anything else.

 

How does that make you feel when you think about that?

I know I was young and Naive in those situations, I pray I would react differently now.. More like Christ would have me to respond.

 

What stood out to you about Deborah?

Her loving and tender heart. She loved the Lord, and in turn loved people the way God intended us to love.

 

How has someone forgiving you made an impact on your life? My beloved has forgiven me in a way NO ONE else ever has in my life(other than Christ). HE has been the living, breathing example of Christ’s love to me. I know I don’t deserve his forgiveness, but yet he gave it anyway, just as Christ has. It has made me love him more, and realize how right I was by toughing the hard times out!  

 

In what ways are we choosing to lead a radical, crazy love life like Deborah lived? I am not sure what you mean by this, but I am going to give it a shot.. I am not a “radical and Crazy” kind of person, but I do step out loving others, ministering, bringing people into our home, to bless them as God calls me to.

 

Can’'t wait for the next section…

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...
