Wow!!!

I didn't intend to post tonight... and intended my next post to be about something totally different... BUT, church was Really Good tonight and I just had to share.

I got preached to big time.... Jen, you would have loved it!!.... Who are you telling about Jesus? Is you're light shining to the world or do you hide that you're a Christian? What has God placed on your heart to do that you're not doing?

And, what really resonated with me because I have been there.... "What the world is dying for, searching for, hungry for, would give anything to find.... you're wanting to throw away" Wow!!! It's so true. I've been in that place where it seemed like living this life was too hard. Satan will try to deceive us and say that what we need is out "there" somewhere... when all along we have the answer and the truth that everyone out "there" is searching for.

I'm so thankful tonight that I have that answer... that I know the Truth. And that I have a pastor who is not afraid to step on toes and speak that hard truth.

Friday’s Testimony

 

Ok, it’s been a while and I have a lot on my mind… but not a lot of time, which is why it’s been a while!  But I do want to share how once again God has provided just what we need.

I know we aren’t the only ones struggling to pay for gas lately, but this month’s gas card bill was CRAZY! So last week I paid almost Brian’s entire check on that one card… just so we wouldn’t have to pay a late fee… it barely made a dent in the month’s balance. All week I’ve know that today’s check would have to go entirely on the gas card, and we’d stuck back some extra we’d gotten from another job to help, too.  While I’ve been thankful for that extra, it’s still a strain because, obviously, we have other bills to pay than just that one!

We got Brian’s check today… and praise God!!… it was $1 more than the balance we owed on the card!!  That may not seem like much of a praise but this check was quite a bit more than he’s been earning lately.  I shouldn’t still be surprised, but it always amazes me when God provides just exactly what we need at just the right time!

I have more to share, but that’s all you get for now.  

Coming soon…  why I’m in love with Dave Ramsey!!

 

Wake Up Oh Sleeper

 

I woke up this morning thinking about this song.

And this verse… Matthew 21:44… go read it!

We heard a great message on breaking up your fallow ground Saturday night… I’ve realized I’ve become way to complacent lately.  I’ve become content with just doing my daily bible study…. daily prayer… attending church… it’s time to arise and shake myself, Isaiah 52:1-2.
