Wanting more...

Have you ever been in a place where you wanted more from your walk with Christ?

I want more of Him.

I want more of Him in me.

I want more of  Him emmulating through me and less of me.

Does any of that make sense?

I want to be who He wants me to be.

I want to live out His commands in my life.

I want to please HIM and only Him.

I woke this morning with this desire of wanting more.. what do you do with that? These are the times I wish I had a mentor. Someone wise, strong in faith, that could give me direction on how I can channel this desire in the right direction.

Do mentors even exist anymore?  There was a time that a young woman knew that she a mentor because normally it was her mother. So many of us women are wondering around lost, trying to figure out how to do things, how to figure out life problems on our own. (which is why we fall)  Because like wild animals we have been left to the wild to figure things out, and sometimes we get chewed on by a wild animal because of naivety and lack of experience.

Help me to find You Lord as I seek your face this morning...

Thanks for letting me ramble!

    It seems as though the art of mentorship is gone. (I'm not sure that's even a word.) So many women cry out for a mentor. Those cries go unheard. When I was younger, I was blessed to have great mentors. I had church mothers who were my bbfs. If I was just starting out with marriage and raising a family, I would be in some serious trouble because women don't get mentored anymore.
    There's a young mom in my church who clings to me. She said no one encourages her in her role as a wife or a mother but me. Very sad and it shouldn't be that way. My poor daughter is already feeling lonely because her friend is pregnant as well and plans to return to work after the baby is born. Ruthie asked me if there are any young women who stay home with their babies anymore. She's hoping to find some other moms her age and build friendships with them.
    As you can see, I'm passionate about this and can go on and on. Forgive me for hijacking your blog with my long comment. *hugs*

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...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

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...
