Sanctus Real - Lead Me

I really like this video, it speaks to me, and I feel so blessed that each day my husband becomes more and more of a godly man, leading us in God's Word. :)

BEST DAY OF THE WEEK

So today was a great day!!!! I remember back in the day I used to dislike Sundays. Having to get up early, get dressed up in dresses that itched me everywhere, my mom picked my clothes for me when I was little, sitting in a room full of people I barely knew, listening to a man say boring things, things i didn't understand, and if I did understand them I didn't want to follow them.  But now Sundays are the best day of the week!!!! Hope Chapel, my home church, is one of my favorite places to be at. The person speaking at the front of the pews is saying things that not only are not boring, but that I actually understand, and want to follow. The pews are filled with people that have become a part of my family. And even though now I wake up way more earlier for church than when I was younger, I don't mind it, well most of the time. LOL And Sundays have gotten a little more interesting now that I'm the 3 & 4 year old Sunday school teacher. God had been putting it on my heart to volunteer for Sunday school for about a year or so. But I thought. 3 & 4 year olds?  I can barely stand Monkey, how am I going to deal with more little ones like her. Now don't get me wrong, I love my daughter and think being a mom is the best job in the world, but 3 & 4 year olds are . So Finlay 4 weeks ago I was like, "OK God, i don't think I can do this, but for some reason you keep putting it in my heart, so here I go. Please help me to lead these children and teach them about you.  Oh and please help me not to go nuts. LOL Well 4 weeks later, I can say that volunteering to teach them was a great decision. I have enjoy tremendously teaching these kids about God and Jesus, and His love for us. Now do they sometimes drive me crazy? Yes, especially my little monkey. But the things that I'm learning and getting out of it, are just to amazing to even complain. Volunteering as Sunday school teacher has also given me confidence on homeschooling Monkey. So I say God definitely new best, way way better, when he laid it on my heart to help out. Its things like this that make me think, there is no way there is no God, there is no way that there is no one out there trying to have a relationship with me, to teach me, lead me, and  LOVE me. I thank Him now more than ever for showing Himself to me. Because with out Him I'd be lost and lonely. So my question for you today is, What do you think  God has been calling you, or is calling you to do? Are you ignoring Him? If so why? I don't know your reasons, but what I do know is that making the choice to follow His will, has brought great joy to my heart. I challenge you today, to listen to him, pray about what he is leading you to do, and remember that its not our will be done, but His. :)

What's in your eye?

The other day I posted this scripture at the end of one of my posts,"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3(NIV) It made me think, how often do I judge people on there actions, words, attitude, lives...ect? But do I ever truly look at my actions, words, attitude, life...ect? How are the things I do and say glorify God? Are they glorifying Him?  I know I'm not perfect, I know we live in a fallen world, and because of that, sin will always be there to tempt me. But what am I doing to guard my heart from it? It's always so easy to point out my hubby's flaws, especially when we're arguing. But how does that help the situation? Even if 95% of the fault lands on him, what about that 5% that lands on me. And trust me on most occasions the fault is mostly on my side, but I don't always want to admit it, LOL. Anyways, I'm still responsible only for my actions. For me this is a hard concept because I hate admitting when I'm wrong. I mean come on, who really ever likes to admit there flaws or admit when they are wrong? I know I don't. But this verse is telling me, that instead of worrying about someone elses faults, I need to look inward at myself. I guess what I'm trying to share is let's look at how we can work on our selves, and not on how we can change others. I can only change one person in this world, ME. And even then, I can't do it on my own, I need the Holy Spirit in me to help me change. This is something that won't come naturally to me, it's something that I will have to work on, on a daily basis. But I know it is something that will Glorify my Lord. And that there is something worth working on:) I challenge you that next time you see that speck of dust in someones eye, you first look at yourself before pointing it out to them.

Starting from scratch. :)

So I had a blog on wordpress, but can't figure out how to transfer it here, so till then I'll start fresh. Its not like i had much, i only had 4 post so maybe ill just copy and paste them. The main purpose for my blog, was to keep people updated on my life, but then i decided that i wanted to share more how my walk with my Lord is going. :) So i pray that i can keep up with this one. So more to come.
