The Depths of Our Intimacy

If you look at this picture clearly, there are really no roots but stubs. The purpose for the roots are to find water to sustain the tree, it has to have a life source. There was nothing to sustain this tree during the storm, causing it to fall over.

As christians, if we do not have roots in the word of God, we too, will fall over when the wind starts blowing, because we have no depths. There needs to be a steady connection source, which is God!! We are the body of Christ, he grows down into us, producing life.

Christ is the only one that can with hold us, when trials come our way. I will stand firm , and not be moved for I know that Christ is my source.

Carry My Cross

Have you ever felt as if you were coming to the end of youre rope?
These past few weeks have been, a bit crazy.
One, I can just give in and quit, and let the enemy win. Two, I can go through the valley, and know that, Jesus is with me. I will carry my cross, God has never left me nor forsaken me.
Its easier said then done, but I have learned, that throughout these hard times that prayer is the key. God listens, even though we cant see him, he is there at our every beck and call.

SPIRITUAL MATURITY...

SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS NOT 10 -20 YEARS SERVING THE LORD…..
SO THE QUESTION IS….. WHAT IS SPIRITUAL MATURITY?

IT IS WHEN YOU CAN LOVE AND FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE HURT YOU…

WHEN PEOPLE OFFEND YOU AND YOU REFUSE TO GET OFFENDED..

WHEN YOU STILL GO WORSHIP THE LORD, WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD HAS CAVED IN….

WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY YOUR BESTFRIEND AND YOU STILL FORGIVE AND LOVE THEM……

WHEN GOD BLESSES SOMEONE AND YOU DON’T GET JEALOUS..

WHEN SOMEONE GETS A RAISE AND YOU DIDN’T, YOU CAN STILL PRAISE GOD AND NOT BE ENVIOUS…

WHEN SOMEONE HAS DONE YOU WRONG, AND YOU DON’T GOSSIP…

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN FORGIVENESS AND LOVE AT ALL TIMES…..

I Layed It At The Cross...

Have you ever went to Jesus, and layed your burden at the cross? I was having dinner with a friend on Monday, she is a great women of God. We were having an interesting conversation, It was about issues that we had layed at the cross, and how the enemy tries to reopen old wounds, hurt, unforgiveness and so on... It is a daily struggle for many people. The good news is, we can overcome these feelings by faith and trusting our heavenly Father. when you make the decision to lay your burdens down, it means that you no longer are going to rely on self, but rely on God. And when the enemy comes in, and tries to poke at you, you simply say No, I have layed that down at the cross!!

What is your take on this? Will you trust in God, and lay your burden down?

I Want To Be Like You

I took my oldest daughter shopping this Saturday, her dad gave her some Birthday money. Of all the things that she could have bought, she came out of the store with the same perfume that I wear. To be honest, I really wasn't liking the Idea. I told her, we couldn't be wearing the same perfume, that it was more for grown ups, and she looked at me and said, Mommy It smells so good, and I want to be just like you. It brought a huge smile to my face, and filled my heart with joy. I am truly blessed, to have such a wonderful daughter.

Testing 123 Testing....

Spiritual Tests....
We are tested on our faith and committment to God.
Will you go head on into the storm, and clinge on to his promise, or will you bail out?
Its easier said than done, but with Christ in us, everything is possible. I can remember so many times, that I wanted to give up and throw in the towel, then I remeber God's grace and mercy. We as believers have to be determined to obey God, no matter the cost. As painful as some tests are, God is using them to grow us into all that he wants us to be. He has promised to walk with us in the midst of our trials, and bring blessings.

Live with the eyes of our heart open. God wants us to put our faith in Him, believing with full confidence that He will take care of the obstacles, guide us around the problems, and carry us through to the end

So... when you see the storm headed you're way, are you going to love and trust him? All God wants from us, is our committed hearts.....

Mother = Love

Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.
Lin Yn-tang

A mother’s eyes see with her heart and her heart holds only unconditional love. A mother’s touch is infinitely gentle and patient. However, we can love them just as surely as we can love ourselves in an understanding and compassionate way.
A mother's love is countless and meaningful. The love that I have for my children is endless and indescribable!
I thank God everyday, It is only because of him that I am able to perform my duties as a loving mother.......
