Still wondering about Apollos Some on you know I wrote a book called Meet With Me in 2010 I wrote the book with just questions in it from the Bible. Why is it just questions you may ask. In Deuteronomy it says, "If you search for Me with your whole heart you will find me." When you are searching you ask questions. When you are learning you ask questions. When you learn a new job you ask questions? When you are looking for a place while driving you "sometimes" stop to ask questions? So that is my reasoning for the book like journal called, "Meet With Me" My hope and prayer for everyone is seek Him, ask questions and above all seek answers from the Living active word called the Bible! Back to Apollos? Do you think he was a man who knew it all or was he continueing to learn? What happened when Priscilla and Aquila spoke to Him about God more accurately? Did he listen? As I read it again it hit me again that we need other people in our lives to keep us accountable to God and truth. The lies of the enemy creap in so subtlely. Who do you have in your life that will point you back to truth? Where does truth come from? I love the last two questions... Was he excited to tell the good news (gospel)? Check it out! It is in verse 27 and 28... ...In the ESV it says he greatly helped! It also says he powerfully refuted! He greatly helped? What did he do that greatly helped? He powerfully refuted! Wow those are some stong words! Would you and I have been one of those he greatly helped? He helped those who through grace had believed! Believe what? The Christ was Jesus!! So many things in life we have to earn but this gift that Apollos had greatly helped with is something that Jesus did for you and me! What difference is Jesus making in your life? This question is the one I have been playing with in my mind alot lately. I lead a bible study, I am a Mom, I am a wife, I am a friend...I do alot of things but how does Jesus make a difference in what I do everyday? I will continue to search for truth and Jesus with each of you ...

Distraction

Do you wonder if a schedule or routine could be a distraction ?  Yes, I know all of us type A's are screaming "No way", it is a schedule that makes the world go around! If there is no schedule nothing would get done.  No one would know what to do. We all would be unproductive and lazy.  Is this true? Is it really the schedule or routine that makes the world turn? Or is it just a distraction making us believe we are in control? This is the year 2020 and it is spring and the world is suffering under a quarantine from the Corona virus.  And, I ponder as a believer,  what is the distraction in my life on a daily basis to proclaim the good news, make disciples while enjoying God and giving him glory? Has the corona virus been a distraction? How about the lack of a schedule or routine, is that been a distraction ?  The schedule and routine is gone. The corona virus is here. What is the distraction from enjoying God? Is it the virus, the schedule o...

What I am learning about change?

It began a few years ago. It was the spring of 2016. There were tears. Alot of tears. They came at the weirdest times. I did not know what they were from or why they came. I remember the tears came mostly in the salon, while getting my hair done. They would come from no where and my stomach usually felt queasy, you know  when you feel like your getting the flu.  These tears came every 5-6 weeks at the salon through the spring and into the summer.  I knew it had nothing to do with a change in hairstyle. Unexplainable in my eyes. The tears and the feeling would make me ponder what is going on that makes these tears come. The stylist would ask each time these tears appeared, "Is everything ok?  I am worried about you."  To which I would reply, "One thing you need to know is this is not about you." You may be making YOUR own assumptions right now as well. Sometimes when the tears came, we would laugh and say, "It must be menopause!"   ...

risk

Friday and 5 minutes to write comes fast. Walking across the room to say hello to a stranger, someone new you have not seen before. What is the risk? Staying home on a Friday night when all your friends are heading out. What is the risk? Getting on a plane knowing the whole world flies sick? What is the risk? Heading to the rest home to visit those who never get visitors? What is the risk? Going to church alone?  Going to a movie/restaurant  alone? What is the risk? Taking a job in another city or state? What is the risk? Instead of talking about the risk I wonder if we could talk about the possible gains.   Somethings we are scared of that are good for us, are risks.  Somethings we should be scared of and not good for us are risks.  The time it takes to ask what we will gain might be the wisdom we need to walk in the light and have fellowship in the light. What is the risk?
