So today is Saturday, January 26,2013. It's warm for January. In fact the weather guys are saying that we could have some sever storms about next Wednesday.

Here is a little bit of scripture I read this morning. Just wanted to share it.

 Psalm 115

¹ Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,
    because of your love and faithfulness.

² Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”
³ Our God is in heaven;
    he does whatever pleases him.
⁴ But their idols are silver and gold,
    made by human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but cannot speak,
    eyes, but cannot see.
⁶ They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
⁷ They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

And today's bible quote is:

 
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.    1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Praying that everyone will have a good Saturday and a great weekend.

 

Don't know who this Pastor is but he hit the nail on the head. What a wonderful attitude this man has. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

I like many Americans was deeply saddened by the reelection of Obama on Tuesday, and was quick to be ashamed of America and the people who voted for him, and also questioned why God would allow this to happen. Today I started to reflect upon what happened and why. Then it hit me that I wasn't trusting God and He is still in control! Perhaps God in his wisdom knew that Romney was not the right choice for us at this time. Perhaps God in his wisdom knew that whomever got elected was going to face huge problems and why shouldn't Obama be the one to shoulder that responsibility. After all he is the one who has misled, lied to the American people, and has further plans for the destruction of our Country as we have known and loved it. He now has to "inherit" his own mess and can't blame it on someone else. The media would have crucified Romney over the next four years for "ruining"Obama's hope and change plans and blamed him for all the problems. I believe that our God will show this nation what happens when you allow Godless people to manage the gifts this nation has to offer and He provided for us. I believe He will expose Obama once and for all for the failure he is and our corrupt media will not be able to save him. I also believe that Obama's attitude and treatment of Israel is not looked upon by God as obeying his command and Obama will have to answer for that. We have another Congressional election coming up in two years and maybe we can get rid of some of the democratic critters that occupy Congress today. Maybe in four years we can run a ticket for President and Vice President like Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio. Maybe when America again suffers serious setbacks, people will realize what a weak and corrupt management team we have and be tired of it. I will not again question God's wisdom or the plans He has for us, because He is in control and has always done what's best for us. We are reminded that prayer isn't always answered in the way we would like at the time, but God does answer our prayers in His time and in a way that is best for His children. So, let's keep the Faith, lay our worries at His feet and trust God to take care of us!

This was on my heart today and I hope you all don't mind my expressing these thoughts to you. I am in need of strength, encouragement and understanding as are so many of the faithful and good Americans in our Country today!

PRAY FOR AMERICA !

 

We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine holiness, and not intramural bickering and carnal disputes. We read in the second chapter of Luke that Joseph and Mary lost Jesus one day. Where did they lose Him? They lost Him in the most unlikely place in all the world—the Temple. I have seen many people lose Jesus right in the church. I have seen them lose Him in a dispute about who was to be choir director, who was to play the organ, who was to be an elder, or who was to be the minister. Yes, because we are human, though Christian, it is easy to lose sight of Jesus right in the temple!

Prayer for the day

Don’t let me lose sight of You, Lord, in the
complex logistics of everyday life.

Would like to ask for prayers today for my 7 year old granddaughter. She has had a very bad nightmare where the devil takes over her body. She is so young and this has upset her so much. Also would like to ask for prayers for one of my friends mother. She has fluid around her heart and they are having problems getting it off. Also please pray for our country. I fell that it has turned it's back on God and you know God said that if we deny Him he will deny us. 

A Moment of Weakness

Thursday, January 24, 2013

2 Samuel 11:1-5

We all face key moments of decision, when our actions can lead to lasting consequences. The issue is, will you be ready when such a time comes?

David wasn’t prepared for the moment of decision that suddenly faced him. At a time when he was restless, lonely, and preoccupied with worries, temptation and sin caught him unprepared. We can guard ourselves against these moments of weakness by remembering one simple word: H-A-L-T.

First, never allow yourself to get too hungry. When the body is weak from lack of food, poor decisions are likely to follow. Respect your body and provide the sustenance it needs.

Second, don’t permit yourself to get too angry. Anger can cloud judgment and lead to regrettable decisions.

A third caution is not to let yourself become too lonely. When you feel isolated, you may find yourself willing to do almost anything to feel accepted or loved.

Fourth, don’t allow yourself to get too tired. Sleep is essential for wise decisions. When you deprive your mind and body of its necessary “down time,” poor choices become probable.

Being wise in these four areas can prevent thoughts of “If only I hadn’t . . .” later on.

Commit now never to make important decisions when you are too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Instead, be honest at those times and admit you’re unprepared to make sound judgments. Then delay the decision until you can approach it with prayer, patience, and godly wisdom.

Start Over.

OK....so here it is January 23,2013 and it's been about 6 years sense I've used my blog. I think I have been around the world and back sense February 2007. So much happens in such a very small amount of time. But, I've been wanting to try blogging again and it was on my mind this morning so here goes.

I love The Lord even more today than I did back then. I love to tell His stories and spread His word. I know there are people out there that when they read some things like this it makes them fell warm, comfort, and love. I know it does me and I love to try to help others feel that way too. So expect to see blogs like that.

I still love to crochet and sense I'm not working anymore I have lots of time for it. So you can expect to see some clogs about crocheting. Not meaning to slit knitters though. I can knit some but would rather crochet. Lots of the knitting work I've seen is beautiful but I just can't do it.

I love to read and keep books to read on my kindle all of the time. So there could be some blogs about books I am reading. I love to PLAY in my yard. So there could be times when I blog about yard working, flowers and maybe some vegetables I have grown.

So, if you are a person that is really not interested in any of this, then this blog is not for you. And please don't put me down because I love it all.

I truly believe we need to be standing with Israel these days.They are having so many problems from their enemies. I'm not Jewish, I'm a Southern Baptist, But I feel that these are Gods chosen people and we should help them in any way we can. Can't never tell when we might need their help the way our country is going these days.

So these are a few of my like and beliefs and it's time I start with the blogging.    

So here goes....

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you....James 1:5

The Desired Will of God

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Jeremiah 29:11-13

Unlike God’s “determined will,” His “desired will” is resistible and conditional. We have a choice to do things our way or His. The Lord designs a specific plan utilizing a believer’s unique gifts and talents for the kingdom. He wants to share His desired will so that we can live successfully.

First, God wants us to follow the moral laws, like the Ten Commandments, which apply to everyone. Throughout Scripture, we find principles that can add joy and meaning to our lives, such as the instruction always to give thanks and put aside bitterness in favor of forgiveness.(1 Thess. 5:18; Eph. 4:31-32)

Following those basic principles lets us discover the second part of God’s desired will—His intentions for our personal life. One good example is vocation. Before our birth, God predestined us to have specific skills, talents, and spiritual gifts, which suit us for certain types of work. Our vocation may change, but with divine guidance, our work will consistently “fit” us.

Finally, God’s desired will is active in our daily life. What interests us interests Him, no matter how trivial. For example, we’ve all sent up desperate prayers when we couldn’t locate something we needed. Often we find the object within moments because a caring Father leads us right to it.

The Lord wants to work in our life, and He’ll send blessings if we follow Him. Remember, He’s a loving Father; what’s more, He is all-knowing and all-powerful—that is an unbeatable combination, no matter what comes against us. It is impossible to get less than the best when we do things His way.

Keep Isaiah 40:31 in your heart today:

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Thank your for reading my blog today. I know it's not the best blog around, but, with time, maybe I'll get better. Have a great day and may God bless.
