word of God

"the bible might not teach us everything we need to know in life, it certainly won't teach you how to fix your car. But the Word of God is sufficient to do the work of God". author of Take God at His word

Jeffs sleep

Jeff is having trouble sleeping so i sent him a sleep pack through the mail yesterday which includes a bible dedicated to him, some easter peeps, and some sleep aids. In the Bible, I added a letter I wrote to God in November 2011...Jeff and I had just met 3 months prior and we had no clue where we were headed. i poured out my desires for a husband and marriage to God, pretty specifically...I just want so badly to have what God designed for humanity. My entire life Ive seen it broken over and over and over again and have myself perpetuated this cycle. My desire is to put myself aside and live obediently in Gods plan for marriage because I believe this is where joy is found. No, not in marriage itself, although marriage can be joyful, but in obedience to God. My continual prayer God is that i learn how to do this, that I can move from being in constant survival mode to resting in your will mode. Let me be like the lilies and the birds God, fill me with wisdom and arm me with your light so I can see clearly. I know you have blessed us more than we deserve, let us walk and live to glorify you. Patience is required. Give Jeff the light he needs to see words that fill him with life and peace before he sleeps each night. Show him that all joy and satisfaction comes from knowing you. Creation is made to be enjoyed, the creator of creation gives joy....please open his eyes and let his new wisdom journey begin. Trusting YOU.

French braids

I heard this on the radio yesterday and thought it was brilliant A man describes how one day his wife sat him down to give him a lesson on french braiding since she left him with their daughters once and they showed up to school with some crazy hair styles one day, lol. So this man says from looking at the final product it looks like two groups of hair woven together to make one beautiful do.... But he never realized there were three strands woven together to make it work. That's what a marriage is like he goes on to say. From the outside it looks like two, but its that third strand that makes it possible and beautiful. I just love that insight.

Random thoughts of Holy things

What if we all just decided for one day to step out of our flesh and live...worship in spirit and truth just for a day...every single one of us, now THATS a holiday I'd like to celebrate. A sort of heaven on earth day where there's no gifts to wrap, no big meals to prepare...just a focus on leaving our fleshly sins in the dust for a day and begging for Gods spirit to lift us up and out giving us power to do the impossible. We'd love our enemies, forgive one another, be more giving, deny ourselves. I struggle with all of these things every single day although every single day I hope to rely enough on God to accomplish them. I look forward to my days with God in heaven.
