2014-0112 - a day of worship and rest

Dear Friends and Family, it's Sunday!

We had a wonderful day of worship and rest.  Wonderful services today at Capitol Baptist Church and then out to lunch for a relaxing time .

It was a really nice afternoon with a Sabbath nap and some rest. And I hope all of you enjoyed your day as well.

Stop by tomorrow and see what we're doing for the rest of the week.

The Top Three!

God uses broken, sinful, people to accomplish great things!

Dear God, Use Me! Galations 6:10 - As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. I know I am not everything God intends me to be; I may never be ALL that He wants me to be.  But, abiding in His grace, love, and mercy, each day that I wake up gives me an opportunity to get closer to living as He desires. Satan always attacks in those areas where I am weakest.  Follow through is NOT one of my strong points.  I am great at starting projects but not so great at finishing them.  I am quickly engaged, easily distracted, and sometimes lose focus. When I started this blog, almost a year ago, it was my intention to sit down and write every single day.  I started out with great enthusiasm, I was motivated to tell MY story, I was on fire for God, and I was on fire for Life.  I wanted to share that with everyone I knew. Sadly, I let people and circumstances alter my f...

7 Ways To Make the Money Last - The Envelope System

Image
I can't be overdrawn; I still have checks left! Is there more month than money? My husband and I have a terrible time holding on to our money.  It seems like everything everywhere is on the upward trend, except our paychecks.  Those have remained steady for several years. Please don’t think I’m complaining about my job.  I am not!  I praise God every day that we have jobs, that we enjoy the work we do, and that we are able to meet our needs.  We can’t ask for more than that!  God has truly blessed us. We don’t have everything we ever wanted; but we have more than enough when it comes to basic needs.  And, if you’ve been following my blog, you know that I personally have WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH of most things (even if I can’t find all of them when I want to use them, hahaha!) Financial stress can really put a burden on us; it can make us act irrationally and do things we wouldn’t normally consider.  My husband and I spent years...

Don't Be Like A Skimmer Bird

Image
Written by Carisa Stahl Recently while visiting another church the pastor showed a picture of a skimmer bird. They feed from the surface of the water. He said the picture reminded him of a quote in the front of his doctrine text book in Bible college. "The surface of the Bible is skimmed  but the depths are ignored." Too often that quote is too true, even with pastors preaching sermons. Sometimes we read our Bibles more than at other times. Sometimes we read it because reading our Bible is what a "good Christian" is supposed to do but it is not really our hearts desire.  Not only should we be reading our Bibles but we should be studying it, memorizing, and meditating on it.  I remember a big question in Bible college, "How much (quantity of verses) should we be reading? One answer has stuck in my mind, "If you don't have time to read a whole book a chapter is better than nothing. If you don't have time to read a whole chapte...
