Where My Story Meets God's Story!

  Walking with God is not easy. In fact it is a process. A process that has taken me about ten years and still is not easy. I struggle with it daily. Sometimes I struggle to believe the things that are written in the Bible. Sometimes I think those things are written for other people, just not for me. I love the Lord but sometimes I get confused. I know what it says but it seems to contradict itself. Where do I fit in to all of this? How am I supposed to live my life to please God? So many questions are always going through my head. As I attempt to find answers, I just wind up more confused. I seek godly counsel, and hear things like, “Be still and know that He is God,” or “Just trust Him.” I would say, “Okay! I can do that!” Then I get home and cannot seem to figure out how. I know there is a lot of pride in me. That sometimes pretends that I have it all figured out. People will ask me questions and I give them answers like, “Just trust God.” or “Be still and know that He is the Lo...

Tomorrow Never Comes

 Does God ever just give you a verse? One that just resonates with your heart? It constantly stays on your mind as you try to figure it out? Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. That's the one. It has been one that pops up time and time again.  I hear it. I read it. But do I truly understand it?  As I was watching a movie today, laid up on my couch, the Lord brought this to me again. The movie I was watching was "Finding Faith." It has been a hard couple weeks for me, but then these problems seem so small compared to others. In this movie, this ladies mother died of a sudden stroke that left her in a coma. BOOM. Teach us to number our days.  We all like to pretend that we are in control of our lives. We make sure we wear our seat belts. We don't drive in poor weather conditions. We don't go down dark alleys at night time. We carry bear maze when we go hiking. We buy guns for protection.  BUT.... We are not in contro...

God is Faithful to get us where we need to be!!!

            I have not done this for awhile, but as I was spending time with the Lord this morning, I felt I needed to. Yesterday I had a connect group and some conversations that got me thinking. Also I was baptized on Sunday and since then my testimony has been heavy on my heart. It is amazing how you can go have a conversation with someone in the faith and walk away with a new boldness to step into the will of God.      Right now, I have some one on my heart that is pulling away from God. It is disheartening to watch as it happens and not be able to do anything about it. I am learning right now that I just have to step back and let God be God. Which can be so hard sometimes. OK, a lot of the time. Me trying to play God is just me saying, "God, I don't trust you."      In this connect group, we are talking about what it looks like to be a follower of Jesus. A lot of it, is obedience when He asks something of you. When He...

Put The Head Back Where It Belongs

                Lately, I have been really struggling in my walk with the Lord. Being attacked by the enemy. Noticing that the flesh is stronger than The Spirit in me. Seeing some of my old ways come to pass. Recognizing old habits and ways, trying to surface.  I can see it in some of those around me as well. I am writing this to help you if you are struggling with this as well. To show you how God worked this out in me.  As I was watching a video, this lady had said that Christ is the head. The scripture that she was referring to was   Colossians 1:18 Christ is also the head of the church, which is His body, He is beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.  Of course this is talking about the church being the body of Christ. But I believe that it refers to it collectively and individually. At least that is what the Lord showed me to help me break this cycle I was going through.  Saturday night I was up all n...

RAWR!!!!

 Hey there! Glad you stopped by! I hope that title grabbed your attention. To me it explains everything, but it might need a little explaining for you, so I will do that! Have you ever felt like you just wanted to scream at the top of your lungs? I have had that feeling 2 times this week and have talked to a couple others that have as well this week.  The common factor seems to be HURT FEELINGS!!!  Yes as much as we all hate to admit it, our feelings get hurt. Male, female, strong, weak, brave, whatever. IT HAPPENS!!! Even the biggest, "baddest"man on the planet gets his feelings hurt. Some of us are more sensitive than others, and we all have a different reaction.  I am grateful to the Lord that my reaction is not the same as it was two years ago, although those thoughts do cross my mind, and I think that is what makes it so hard right now.           Earlier this week, I had a situation with my niece. She arrived at my house after schoo...

  Yom Kippur(Day Of Atonement) Tonight starting at sun down, we began another Jewish holiday. (Biblical Feast)                     Leviticus 16:29-33 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourner among you: For on that day shall the priest make an Atonement for you to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead shall make the Atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: And he shall make Atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of the congre...

FEAST DAYS OF THE LORD

REMEMBER MY FEAST DAYS  If you are anything like me, you are probably thinking, 'what is this lady talking about?'                                             Don't worry because I am about to tell you! First of all, I am going to start by telling you that the Biblical calendar is not the same as the calendar we use, which is the Gregorian calendar. The Gregorian calendar is based upon the sun.                                                                            BUT..... The Biblical Calendar is based on the sun and the moon. God tells us that.....     Genesis 1:14(KJV) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmame...
