Apply ,Practice What I Heard

This morning I woke up and the verses about God's promises and all ran through my head. I was determined today to practice doing something towards the Kingdom of God today that I have a way to be a part of. I got alot done today and enjoyed doing it. Today while I pondered and am memorizing 2 Peter 1:3 I started thinking of how to apply this, thoughts and convictions started washing me it seemed. I sat and realized that for awhile that I am so full of some disappointments concerning the petting zoo. I hope I can get this out to where it makes since. As I sat and being convicted about for so long I have waited for things to happen at the petting zoo, I would try for a spell and quit or get discouraged , I use the reason cause of not enough support, but after reading and pondering on this one verse alone even, that is not the reason. I always think things like I can't just make things happen, with what can I do that? Well those are really crazy thoughts. Unbelieving in the fact that our God has already given us whatever we need to accomplish what He wants us to do. I don't believe and not only that I walk in it hardly enough. Making something happens means more than just waiting for something to happen. I made up a scrapbook page with the verses on it and put it on my wall where I will be looking at it every day. My added thought to it is: Not for the promises but for the denying of self. Areas I need to apply this is relationships and petting zoo. Stop giving up, learn all that I can and pass it to others, stop being so afraid, It is not the believing that makes you grow , it is the living out what we believe. I want to claim and have a part in the promises that he so freely has already given to me.

Under Snow

I know what a funny title since there is not any snow on the ground or in sight. I was just sitting here thinking that sometimes I get in places of feeling gloomy. So I had the thought of our winters, sun is not out as much, no flowers to look at. Well, the same with our situations, sometimes we have fun, very busy to slow and sometimes just waiting for the next thing to do. It amazes me to think of our seasons, of how in God's creation he created them and they come to praise Him all year round, waiting His coming. I mean, just think of our trees of how they change season to season, buds and flowers in the Spring, green leaves in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall and then bare trees in the winter. Anyway being thankful and seeing the sun on a cloudy day takes effort. Thank you Father for always being near no matter the season. The other day I found myself in a great funk.I said something,after I spoke I felt so stupid, hope one day I will get passed that or at ...

John The Babtist Thoughts

Hi again. It is interesting how Shammah was talking about John at the same time that Amy Carmichael thought of him. She brought out when John sent the disiples to Jesus to ask Him if He is the one or not? His response for them to go back and tell John what they have seen and heard. John must have been so encouraged. Luke 7:22-23 Go your way, and tell John.... Before they got to the end of the mighty things they were to tell him, John's heart must have kindled with new hope: My Lord can do all that, He is doing all that, He is ominipotent. He is my loving Lord, and He is very near. He who is doing all these things will do great things for me. I shall soon be free- He who is opening the prison doors of death will open my prison door. Can you not hear him say it, or least feel him think it, as he listens to all the things His Lord can, and has done. And then instead of a promise and quick help, " Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended with Me"- Matt 11:6 and that ...
