The Woman God Wants Me To Be
Over the next 90 days, I will be doing a bible study. It is by Donna Partow and focuses on becoming the woman that God wants us to be. In fact that is the name of the book “Becoming the Woman that God Wants Me to Be.”
I would like to invite you to join me on this journey.
There are a few different ways that you can join in. You can join the Facebook group Christ Focused Women You can follow on Twitter @christfocusw or post using the hashtag #christfocusedwomen. You can also write blog posts and link your posts to this page.
I look forward to doing this study and I hope that you will join me.
We will start on Monday, November 11, 2013.
It’s Saturday
Today is Saturday…I’m sure you gathered that from the title, but here’s what that means.
It means that I don’t really want to do anything.
I wan to relax, rest, and do things at my leisure.
I want to knit and read. I want to search Ravelry, until I find a pattern that I simply cannot resist knitting.
I want to read the books that I have on my reading list until I fall asleep.
Some mayday that this is laziness, but I think it’s rest.
Now, although I want to do these things, I regret to inform you that I must first take care of my responsibilities. (Not necessarily in this order)
1. Take care of my children
2. Do some Landry
3. Clean up my house a bit
4. Work on my Psychology assignment
After I do some of these things, I want to…
1. Read my book for the book club “Chasing the Avatar” by Jovan Jones
2. Pick out a yarn for a knit along I am doing with a friend for thanksgiving
3. Finish knitting my daughters sweater
4. Possibly paint my toenails
Again, not necessarily in this order.
I look forward to having a great day filled with pleasantness and joy.
Patience & Peace
Good morning everyone. Have you ever had a morning where you really didn’t have a high tolerance for (for the lack of a better word) “mess?” Well this morning I was there. I saw things as I dropped my boys off at school that really frustrated me. I found it really easy to complain about the things that I saw. Then I was reminded by the Holy Spirit to be patient, so I prayed for patience. After praying for patience, I heard the scripture in my head about complaining. Philippians 2:14-15 NIV “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.” Oh how I want to shine, but in order to do so, I have to give God what I have and hold my peace. Have you ever thought about that? “Hold your peace.” I have to hold on to that which God has given me…my peace. I will work hard to remember today to hold on to my peace. It is my prayer that if you find yourself in a place similar to mine, that you would be reminded, as I am to hold on to your peace, so that you may shine like the stars in the universe. I pray for your patience, as I pray for mine. If you don’t find yourself in this place, may God continue to strengthen you and this be a reminder for when you find yourself in this place.
God bless you today…
Searching…
Yesterday, I wrote a post about the photo that I had seen online. I noticed that it would take a lot to continue to show love in a situation like the one portrayed in the photo.
Loving Someone Past Their Sadness
After seeing the picture for a while and thinking on it, another perspective came to mind.
Do you know what its like to hug someone that seemingly doesn’t want you to hug them?
Alright, but do you know someone that wants a hug, but is afraid to let you love and hug them because of their past hurts?
as I thought about this tonight, I looked at the husband/father’s face.
As I looked at him, I wondered what was on his mind? What was bothering him so? What was he searching for? Did he want help but not know how to ask for it?
Why was his head down, his knees and shoulders slouched? How could he be helped? Did he want help? Does he want his wife to hug him? Does he understand how much he is loved…or can he only feel the rejection of times past.
I don’t have the answer to any of these problems, but I am still wondering.
Love Like That…
This morning, I came online to write a post about somethings that I was thinking about yesterday. Somehow, I got side tracked. I ended up visiting other blogs and sites. By surfing the net, I came across this picture. I’m not sure where it came from or who created it, but I wanted to write about how it.
Loving Someone Past Their Sadness
It’s easy to love someone when things are perfect and they are happy, but what about the times that they are going through struggles and personal issues in life.
It can be anything.
They may be growing or feeling a certain way about life. They could be searching for truth and peace. They may feel unloved and depressed. They may not want to share.
More than it is important that they talk to you, it’s important that you love them, past that place.
We all need it and would want someone to do the same for us.
I’m not just talking…I know that I want it…and I can do it…Love Like That
