Thank God

Well, about a week and half ago I was beginning to feel I needed to change some things. When God gave Jim all that he gave us with all the passion he had, and with the Ingathering coming- His timing is always perfect even thou I don't see it. I wished that I could say that I don't have to get out there before seeing it. One of my idols That I had to see was MOVIES thru netflix. Very easy excess , plug earphones into my computer-so not to bother anybody. Steam a movie pretty freely from netflix. Got lazy, so lazy, every body goes to their rooms so another easy excuse to watch a movie. I also know that there was a movie that coming back up in conversation and before me on netflix, I avoided it , not cause it was bad but cause I knew I would be convicting- "Cross And The Switch Blade", I think is the name of it. I was not being with my friends, too lazy to walk ALL THE WAY down the hill and back up. So yes I was taking the easy way :(. It is one thing to occassionally watch a movie with your friends and do this with moderation but unfortunately I abused it. I felt I needed to delete my netflix account.I had a rough time giving that up , I kept thinking I just am not created enough to do things other than that. I just paid for the month too but I felt that when I did , I felt My Father smile.
Since then I have gotten time with friends, gotten things accomplished and things don't seem as mondane on a daily basis now. Had a blast with one of my friends lastnight that I would have missed if I was watching a movie. Thank God Our Father smites our hearts and desires us to come after HIm, Praise that He won't let us just stay in our Egypt ways.
I was reading today about this teacher teaching a driving class. Just before the day when they are about to take a test, the teacher asked each of them to name one safety rule. Well by time the teacher got to the last student, all the safety rules had been named- but the student answers and says "my father tells me that my actions speaks louder than words". The teacher was pleased and thumbed up his answer.In other words, we can study, know answers, be smart, and everything like that but if our actions do not please Our Father, what are we doing? Question for me.
I say all that if hearing something and I go yea, yea that is awesome and I have no change, to walk my words. I don't want to do that. I have not been writing lately, I did not have anything, but not cause my Father is not good, but cause I have not been going after Him. I feel like I have missed alot cause I have been caught up in things other than My Father's heart. Hope I have not been too wordy.
This is all for now. Thank God for friends. Thank God for friends that will step on our spiritual toes, and Thank God for restoration.

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
