Ponder the Path of Thy Feet.....

We have started our new curriculum and may I say though we are struggling through understanding it. It is FANTASTIC. I truly do love it.  This weeks Topic Study is on Pride. Oh yes the ultimate sin, the thing that creeps up on each us. Pride:         Pride is a way one elevates themselves above others, thinking that they are better than someone else. Pride is also a way one sin’s against another by thinking they do not  have to submit to one’s authority.        Pride can destroy and take over one’s heart. The heart becomes hardened and they think they do things in their own understanding. Example Nebuchadnezzar, He believed his kingdom was built by his own hands and not by the Hands of the Lord. The Lord can humble anyone who walks in pride. (Daniel 1-4)      Pride runs ramped in all of our hearts. Pride prevents me from being honorable and submissive to my husband. Pride keeps ...

the trip went so fast. The week before we left seemed to drag because of the anticipation we all had in going to Missouri. We arrived there safe with a beautiful sunset. It was such a smooth drive, and so easy. Honor was truly shocked and surprised to see us.   The weekend was NO FUN- there were way to many people there, kids being loud, TV’s going, my brother being unkind, but I was happy to see my sister. It is hard to be so far away and not be able to participate in her life. Once the weekend ended peace was restored, and normalcy returned to my sister’s home.  We hung out, ran around together, and just enjoyed each other’s company. Friday came in a flash- the drive home WAS LONG! ugh- I decided to try a different way home- and my Navigator- Paul fell a sleep on me, so I was driving blind.  After 14 hours of driving we made it home and was I happy to see my beloved. It was hard to be away from him. The peace he brings the family, and guidance he brings to...

Memory Verse - II Corinthians 4:18 - While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Introduction - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; isn't that what we've always been told.  I find beauty in many things and in most people.  There's beauty in a flower, according to FTD as well, there's beauty in trees,  animals, people, and I'd have to say, as I'm sure that most people agree that there's beauty in watching a child grow. Assignment - Look around your space, look into your heart and share the beauty you see or feel with the rest of us.   Sunset in Springfield,Missouri- reminder of how Glorious and wonderful our Creator is.

Today as I read my devotion it was based from Exodus- it talked about the Israelites exit from Egypt and of course all the wonderful miracles the Lord provided for that exit. As I read,  I saw myself in the words. For the last 6 years we have moved every 18 months. We have wandered around, seeking what? What is it that we are looking for? Why does it seems sometimes that we are so alone in this journey? I have seen God’s miracles in my life. I know He is with me but yet I am still wandering and at times like the Israelites I lose faith out of fear, or discouragement. We are still wandering. My prayers is that He will not leave me wandering for 40 years,that the end is near for our wandering days. I pray He will lead us into the land flowing with milk and honey, so that we can glorify HIS name! Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts with you today…
