Women of Faith

Women of faith


So a couple of months ago, my friend Heather @standing at the crossroads, asked me to consider going to Women of Faith. Now, I have not been to women of faith for sometime. I can not even tell you when. So, I told her I would pray about it and then I would let her know. Well, I prayed about it and then I forgot about it. So, yesterday I get a call from another friend, who just moved to Texas and she told me that she was going to women of faith. I asked her if she had been planning this for a long time and she said no. She just felt this pull about a week ago. So, I started thinking about this, and the weird part is Jeff is off the weekend that the confrence is in town and I can get a ticket. So, I am going to women of faith. I am not sure what God wants to tell me, but I am sure that he is going to talk to me about something. Oh do not get me wrong, God talks to me all the time through His word. But there is something awesome about when I go to women of faith. He uses those women to touch me in an awesome way. I am telling you, you may not even know these women, but our hearts are connected. If you ever get a chance to go to women of faith, do it. It will change your heart and you will walk out of the confrence different then you walked in. If you would like to read about my friend from Texas, her name is Lori and I have her listed with my blog sisters. Love ya all, and have a great weekend.

Special

I recently bought the kids a new Science program. Yesterday I was reading up on the first chapter. The Author of the program is having the kids memorize scripture. The first scripture is Genesis 1:1 " In the Beginning God created the Heavens and the earth." As I read on, the author points out the fact that their are several planets in our space, solor system and galaxies. But she points out that God in his word only names the earth. She proceeds to talk about how much God loves this planet and that we must be more special than any other planets, because we are named specifically. I was really touched by this. We are so special that we were named. I mean it could of said Mercury, Venus, Pluto or even Mars. But it says earth. This became so personnal to me, that I started thinking of God in a whole new way. I was reminded last night of my thoughts and feelings about God. A couple of years ago, my mother passed away very suddenly. I had to go back to Spokane, WA to help my sister with all the arrangements. During this time I became really angry towards my mother, because we really did not have a great relationship. When I came home, I was so angry and it was spilling into my other relationships. So, I seeked counciling, as I was sitting across from the councilor, I was telling her my attitude towards my mother. She hit me with this question, "How do you view God?" I sat looking at her, what does this have to do with how I am feeling. So, I shrugged my shoulders and said I do not know. She said that it makes a difference on how we view life, to how we view our Lord. So she tells me that I was so important that when I was created in my mothers womb, Jesus was holding me and cradling me. She said to me, when you were born, who caught you. I replied with,"the Doctors." She smiled and said, yes in the physical, but in reality, Jesus is the one who caught you. And then she proceeded to tell me as I grew outside the womb, Jesus was with me through my growth and when I took my first steps, Jesus held my hands so I could walk to my parents. My councilor said that I was so special, Jesus created me for who I am today and He has plans for me, plans to prosper me, Jeremiah 29:11. I am special, for I am Jesus' princess and he loves me so much. I look at Jesus as my mother, the one who nurtures me and holds me when I am down. Who disciplines me when I am not following his word and who adores me for loving Him. I know it sounds strange, but I feel that He was my first and ultimate love and He deserves my heart and my love. So, tell me how special do you feel when it comes to the Lord? How do you view Him and why. It will change your whole outlook about Him.

Award

This morning a really blessed friend, Susan at joyful mom 6 gave me this award. Sometimes I sit in front of this computer and type out something and think, will people get this, will this help anyone? And then I come back to the blog and see the comments and realize I am not the only one who felt that way. It warms my heart and then it gives me hope that we are marching in the same army, the army of the Lord's. So, with this I would like to pass this on to other wise bloggers who have touched my heart. Robin at Bittersweetpunkin, Kathi at feathering my nest, and Darla at overcomer. I have enjoyed reading your blogs and they have touched my heart. And to those that Susan sent the award to, Heather, Nana C and Allison, I have really love reading your blogs also. It is so awesome that as women we may never meet, but our hearts are always connected, Thanks Susan for the award, and I love ya.

This is really Good

This was on a fellow bloggers site and I loved it so much. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you Robin from Bittersweetpunkin.

Great Movie!

You have to watch this movie. Jeff and I rented it from Netflix and it really made me think. It is about this women who is a lawyer and she is invited to have dinner with Jesus. It is a great tool for those people in your life who have some really hard questions that you can not answer for them. It made me really thank the Lord for what he did for me and I seeked forgiveness and renewel with Jesus through this movie. You have to watch it, it is amazing. God bless all of you and have a great day.
This is a small clip of the movie. I hope that you enjoy this.
Make sure that you turn off the music to view this.

Faith

I want to share with you about my faith. I remember as a teenager I put alot of faith in friends, money, situations. I grew up in a home where we went to church every Sunday. The people in our church was like family to me. But, when I graduated High School, I rushed off to the Army. I wanted to escape my parents. When I was in the Army, I faith only in myself. I believed at the time the only reason I made it through the Army was my anger. When I left the Army my faith was my husband and new child, and for many years this is what I believed. I was misreable, I even thought of leaving and running to another adventure that may of brought me more faith and refreshment. At the age of 27 I walked into this church and my whole view point of faith changed. I excepted the only faith we need and that is Jesus Christ. Through this adventure of faith, God gave me wonderful councelors to heal wounds, he changed my heart from a career orinted mom to a stay at home mom. He changed us to become homeschool parents. He helped me become close to my dad and stepmom and to forgive my mother. He helped me to fall in love with my son, and stop these power struggles I was doing. He helped me to fall in love with Jeff, and look at him as my husband and not my savior. He gave me wonderful girlfriends in and out of my life, who have shown me alot that God can use me in. And my thinking of God is always and formost special and I know so much about Him and I want to know more. So He can utilize me to further His Kingdom and bring more people to Him. It had to start small, like a mustard seed, and now it is big. Faith is wonderful, it gives me hope to carry on a legacy for my Lord, one that will follow in my children and my children's children. I am so excited for the life God has given me and the events that will keep coming.

Father, thank you for never giving up on me. And thank you for all the people who have graced my life and made me stronger. Thank for your word and the growth that I have had through it. I love you and I will willing follow you and be your servent. Amen.

Captivating
"But we've often wondered what the "one thing" was that was needed. Some of you might have heard teaching that it was one simple casserole dish, that Martha was busy making a complicated mealwhen only one simple food was needed. No. That is not what Jesus is saying."

So if you are reading this, concider yourself tagged!
