Obedience

Obedience- a word we all know to well. It is suppose to be a part of our walk with Jesus but is it? This verse should not be unfamiliar to you if it is - it is a great fact to know- go read the whole book of Genesis. Here Abraham has been given the son he was promised. Now God gives him a command. Go sacrifice your only son on the mountain Moriah. Could you imagine the torment going on within this man? But yet he rose the next morning and gathered all the things he would need to fulfill the command God had gave. Never expressing the torment, no yelling, no screaming, no throwing things, no mistreating of those around him. He just obeyed. But inside (if you are a parent you already know) dying, head whirling, and I know his thoughts were like "what in the world! " Obeying God was never meant to be easy. When the God incarnate came to this earth, just before he was to be taken and beaten, He asked God if there is anyway you could take this cup from me. It wasn't the fact he was going to suffer that pained Him, it was the separation from his Father, the darkness He would need to overcome. Jesus too did what God commanded, but not without torment. Dear Ones, Obeying God in your life does not mean a life of comfort, money, or even prosperity. Jesus did not come to this world as a King, nor did he die with riches, But he came as a Servant and rose as a Savior. We, his children, must understand that true obedience means suffering, means forsaking but all of it in the Grace of God, with His hand upon us and for His Glory. Seek to obey God today so that you may experience the blessings of His presence in your life. Thank you for journeying with me. #dailyscriptureandthoughts

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...

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...

The week...

we arrived here very late in Texas. I spent the next two days unpacking our things, as I packed Samuel's sisters things. It has been a hard week of lifting, moving, and unpacking all alone. The thoughts that ran through my head- was what am I doing here. Why would I come to this place to deal with life alone? To not have a family member be an every day part of my life. Who truly cared about the children and their lives. To come to a place where everyone is so self center- whose lives are focused only on themselves. NOt blessing, not caring, just having the family on holidays. In life I never imagined that I would be spending my life alone- not alone per say without my children, and husband. I mean alone with out my family.(brother and sister, mom, dad) I always thought that I was going to spend all my special and most important moments in life with all of them. I realize that is a fairy tale now. I realize that nothing in life is the way you "want" or "think" i...
