Jesus! Jeremiah! And Psalm 8




This morning, I clearly heard the Lord telling me to ask Jeremiah to sit with me and read His word together. We usually have devotions on Thursday night with my husband, but it's my responsibility as their Mommy to also sit with our kids. I confess that I am not consistent.

I read. I allow God to pour into me, but how selfish of me, not to include my kids in a more consist way! Well, that changes as of today! And you can keep me accountable. No! Really I challenge you, to challenge me! And don't you just LOVE IT when God speaks to you and then He totally sends confirmation afterward? The Lord, said... Read a Psalm and because today is July 8th, we read Psalm 8. 

v.2 " Out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants, You have ordained strength because of your enemies, that you may silence the enemy and the avenger". 

Children (that's us) are able to trust and praise God without doubt or reservations. As we get older, many of us, find this more difficult to do in the face of adversity. I confess that I have failed, terribly at this! Why? Oh! Because at some point I take my eyes off of Jesus and then, boom! I begin to doubt! Friends, we cannot allow the trials we face rob us from the JOY and the beauty that comes from having a "Childlike Faith". No matter what age we are, let's run to our Abba Daddy with all of our hearts concerns. God already knows what's going on, because He has allowed it. For what reason? Only He knows, because it's all part of His perfect and divine plan for our lives. One thing I am certain of, the Lord poured into me today using our son, Jeremiah. Oh! From the mouths of babes!! came a sweet reminder that ... Liz, (insert your name) ask God for that childlike faith, removing all barriers! Continue steadfast in Him, in prayer and while you wait for Him to answer your prayers, continue to praise Him.

Oh how I love our Jesus!! Truly He's amazing at all He does. He is Holy! Our God is worthy of all our praise. When we go through trials, it's a time to reflect and allow God to do what He needs to do. He made everything beautiful. He knew our names before time and what we face is all part of His glorious design!! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory be His faithful name!!!

I asked J, about the picture I took... Baby, why so serious when you were reading? Mom, because God's word is to be taken seriously. Me? Oh. I just died!! And thanked God for giving me the honor to be this wonderful kids Mommy! Lord help me to be all that you've called me to be for him and Faith. Lord, strengthen me in my weakness and give me the wisdom I will need for years to come in raising them in Your ways. Amen.

You. Are. Loved. More. Than. You. Know.

You. Are. Loved. More. Than. You. Know.  Have you ever felt unloved? Rejected? Dismissed? When that happens, its most probable we're not receiving God's true infinite love and we've taken our eyes off of Him. God created us to love. He wants for us to build and not tear down. We love because God loved us first (1 John 4:19). God loves you. He loves me. He loves us with a great deep love.  Remember what happened on Good Friday and hold on to the fact that when Jesus died for our sins, He rose again and left us our helper, the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit we wouldn't have the  strength we need in our times of weakness. Any addiction, relationship, circumstance.. Nothing has power over the power that is within us.  Lord, I pray we stay mindful that there is NO greater love than Yours. Jesus, pour into us today! Keep us steadfast in Your word. Embrace our hearts with You. Father, convict us in our sin, because You love us too much, ...

Thinking Of Heaven

Heaven! James!  And the Introduction!  I was thinking of Heaven today. I was thinking of how exciting it will be when I'm in the presence of my Jesus! I picture myself arriving and hugging my Lord 1st and foremost and immediately asking him to show me where James is. I want to thank him personally for this amazing letter he wrote. The book of James, is mind blowing bold in it's own right. You know how you can read and study a book in the Bible and then you read and study it again and it just speaks to you in a whole new way? Yup! Its like that. James teaches us the right Christian behavior and doesn't sugar coat anything. It doesn't matter what version you try reading this book in, you will feel conviction in your heart if you are humbly honest with yourself. With well chosen words, James reminds us that it's not enough to talk the Christian faith, he says; we must live it (2.14) The proof of the reality of our faith is a changed life. He... Outl...

Day After Mother's Day -2017

Because it's Monday, Because the national date to celebrate Moms Day has passed, but we still gotta get up, and keep on moving, Because we need Gods Word and Strength in which to move in, Because we "get to serve" the Lord as a Mom. Because there is no greater reward than to love, because God loved us 1st! The next 20 promises are straight out of the Bible, enjoy, rejuvenate and let's keep one another in prayer. Being a Mom needs a community of strong Godly women to build one another up! My Mother's Day this year was bittersweet with the loss of my Dad's death. I miss him. Still, I have my Mom and I am so thankful for that. Love and appreciate the people in your life. Leave a legacy of God's love. 1) A kindhearted woman gains respect. -Proverbs 11:163 This verse first and foremost, because when I’m tired I can get mean and that’s a fast way to lose respect. 2) Keep your love for one another at full strength, because love covers a multitude of sins. -1...
