Angels watching over us
Angels are mentioned 203 times in the Bible. As a child, the pictures that were shown to me of angels, certainly did not seem to put my mind at ease. All of them were little fairy like females that appeared timid to me. I did not find any security in knowing that they were protecting me. It didn't take me long to decide I needed to protect myself. As a child we take things very literal. They see a fairy type person, called angel, and that is what they think. I needed to know that God sent Angels on my behalf, and they were capable.
Overwhelming Love
When my I was pregnant with my first child, her father died. There are no words for what I felt or thought during those remaining three months of pregnancy. No one could console me. I locked myself in my room, and only family saw me, when they intruded in my space. No words came from my lips. No tears fell from my eyes. Total numbness. Finding our Worth
Lately, when looking around at the many discussions border lining arguments, great heaviness fills my heart.The Big and Little prayers
Always amazed at how God answers prayers that have been prayed only in a way that I often least expect. Sometimes exactly how I prayed for them, and still I marvel at HIS hand moving in my life. I don't think I ever want to get over the Greatness of my GOD.Starting the day with a Philter
There are mornings when I know ,with out a doubt, that this day will not be an example of Christ. Sad, but true. The reason is, I have not applied the "Philter" to life that will make my day rise above the chaos of the news, world events, and family demands. LOVE THEM, but they are demanding in a subtle way, and usually not intending to be that way.Noble is a Godly Quality
When thinking about Truth some how I automatically link it with Nobility. It almost saddens me. Rarely is our Western culture truthful,much less Noble, mostly it is self seeking and self gratifying. Usually with a catch or small print too small to read yet alone comprehend. Not at all like the word was designed to be. God is True, HE is truthful, and HIS word is Truth. When a person stands firm on the Truth of God, Noble is the quality that is produced.HE knows our name!
Isaiah 45:4 "And why have I called you for this work? It is for the sake of Jacob my servant, Israel my chosen one. I called you by name when you did not know me. " (NLT)
Today a rather tough street kid (who rides my bus), brought this verse home to me. Simple and yet profound! The Creator of the universe, the Creator of you and me, knows our name. Let that sit on you even for a second, and see the difference it will make in a day.
Trusting God with our Children
A human mother protecting her young is comparable to a Lioness protecting her cubs. We find superhuman strength when needed to protect or to carry our children when necessary. How does that fall in line with trusting God?..
Woman to Woman-Lets Be Honest
Women, do you need a drink? A drink so deep of the water that will give you refreshment, life for eternity, and fill the voids in your life you thought could not be filled. Will you dip your glass into the well of the living water?Are We Thinking?
So very easily, the world infiltrates our thinking. We are commanded in Phil. 4:8 to "think on these things". As women we are bombarded with many things that compromise our thinking. It takes real effort to maintain our thinking...
