Daily scripture and thoughts

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12 ESV)


Dear Ones
Staying steadfast in the test of life is a difficult daily thing. Each day as you rise do you think- how can I glorify your name today Lord? Do you think on His goodness, mercy and grace as you open your eyes? 

Or is each day filled with thoughts of you and you only without any thought on HIM?

Living Steadfast is facing each day with Christ in mind, on your heart, and truly seeking to step forward glorifying Him. It's funny at 40 years old sometimes 50- people wonder what life is about. Why are they here- what is life for? I am telling you now- life is to bring glory to the King of Kings. We were made to glorify HIS name in our lives. Our marriages are to sing His praises, our children are to live according to HIS Word- we are to leave a legacy for the Kingdom of Christ that goes beyond us and the here and now.


Lord help us to be steadfast. Help Holy Spirit to seek your face in all things and not live our lives for self till we need you or till we are in state of despare. Oh Lord I love you- and need you- I desire to live according to YOUR will and ways and desire to leave the legacy you desire for your glory!!!

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...
