Confession about the end times!!!
Ok so I have a little confession to make!! It is rather silly of me. I used to hate watching movies about the end times. I did! Even though deep down I knew I would not be here I secretly hated those movies. I was scared that I was not good enough for Him. Even though I have been a Christian for most of my life(well since the fifth or sixth grade). And even though I knew deep down that Jesus was my savior I lived in fear. Fear that I wasn't good enough for my Heavenly bridegroom. Can you imagine!! Somebody who is standing there saying "Follow me, come to paradise" and I am standing there saying ok I believe you but I don't quite think I am good enough. DUH!! I finally realized I am good enough. He is not going to revoke my passport. But I wonder about the people around me. Where are they going to go? And what about you? Do you know where you are going? I know where I am going.

Real Me
By Made Popular By: Natalie Grant
see relatedRunning
Are you a runner? I could lie and tell you that I am, but you would just take one look at me and know that I am lying. But in a way I could say that I do run. Maybey not physically but in my walk with God sometimes I spend more time running away from what He has for me, then walking with Him and becoming the beautiful piece of pottery He is trying to make me into. It's sad really, why do we run? He has nothing but the best intention for us yet all we do is run from Him at full speed. I personally find myself bolting when I feel myself getting closer and deeper in my walk I bolt. High tail it to the hills and go in the complete opposite direction. See I have this stinkin thinkin process that the closer and deeper I get to God the more He will see the "real me". You know the real me that nobody else sees unless I let them, the real me that He already knows and loves unconditionally. If I could get over that hurdle in my thought process then maybey the running would be a totally different thing. Instead of running from the Father I could run to Him.

finally say yes completely to the Father.(I still struggle at times)

The Blessing

The Blessing
see relatedToday
Today I took my six year old nephew to church with me. I am so amazed at God. Rory has never been to church with me before. We never really talked about God much. Something I wanted to change, that is why I took him to church with me. I am so amazed at the little guys heart. He is such a sweet little fellow, so kind and loving and sweet. I love his heart. He loves everybody he meets. He doesn't worry about what they may think or what they may have done. It reminds me of how we should all be as Christians.....................How we should be.
Today the Holy spirit spoke to me about something that has been bothering me for a while. I have this circle of people that has rejected me. I hate rejection. It really bothers me when somebody does not like me and I can not figure out what I have done. I hate being ignored. It annoys me and it's rude. I have been praying about this and letting it stew inside me to the point where God could not work anymore. Well could not work in that area of my life. I am sure no positive that I probably could have handled things differently in my past. I should not have tried so hard. Was their friendship really that important? I missed some really awesome people and friendships because of this. That is sadder than anything else.
So to get back to what I was saying earlier............... I was praying about a situation I am in with one of these people from the "circle". And that is when God spoke to me. He said "it is not for you to understand...............it is for you to forgive." WOW!! That hit me like a rock. I was astounded, it never occurred to me to just simply forgive....... forgive myself.........and forgive them. So today that is what I am going to do I am going to forgive!!!!!!!!!

Recipe
I was talking to a friend the other day!! We were talking about recipes. She had made a pasta salad from a box and didn't follow the recipe. No big deal because it turned out in the end, but it got me to thinking, there are some recipes that you HAVE to follow step by step or they do not turn out. Believe me I have done it. It kind of reminds me of my relationship with God. You see we as Christians have a recipe book, the Bible. And in it we have these recipes given to us, scripture. As we go from day to day in our lives God gives us steps to follow, like in a recipe, guidelines that He gives us to help in our day to day lives and sometimes if you don't follow them it turns out ok. But just imagine what happens when you do follow the recipe step by step, you end up with this wonderfully fulfilled recipe that turns out the best you have ever made. I wonderful life filled with God's promises and sweetness!!
