Still speechless

Good Morning on a Monday!!

I have opened my blog a few times in the last 2 weeks but nothing came to my mind that I wanted/needed to share...today is really the same thing.  I am reading the Bible and trying to memorize.. know this is something that is a challenge!  I have had the same verse on my bathroom counter for months.  I read it most everytime I brush my teeth and do you think I can recall it when I am not standing in front of it.  I must have to brush my teeth more!  Makes me thankful God put His word in print so I am able to go back to it over and over to receive encouragement and discipline and love from the one who knows our every part!

Sometimes I wonder...I wonder a lot by the way...

What it means to die to myself...or what it means to submit to Christ... 

I know what it means in my head but when it comes to life day to day, choices that are put before me each step of the way...What does it mean to die to myself in the grocery store, at school, at work or in my home?  Is it simply to stay in step with the spirit?  Simply?  Is anything simple when it comes to living in the world where we live today?  Is wondering bad?  Where do we go with our questions?

The world puts so many things in our faces EVERYDAY!  I woke up yesterday singing, "I am persuaded that he is able to keep what I committed unto him against that day."  Yes I began to think...I am not able but HE is!  Who do we trust in really?  Ourselves?  God?  What have I committed to Him?  My marriage?  My children?  Have I committed anything to him?  My mind lands on...HE IS ABLE!  I am not able to "keep" anything, but HE is!

I spent some time awake last night...I was thankful to recall a few verses that I happened to tuck away...Do you have any verses tucked away to help you recall HE IS ABLE?  The one verse that keeps coming to mind is Be Strong and Courageous from Joshua 1:6-9.  Where does He want us to be strong today?

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day?  Is forgiveness supposed to be hard for us so

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little excited and caught up in the "princess" part of the day.  T
