Ready For Flight







You've got to listen to the Matthew 24 reading video below.  It comes from The Bible Experiece and all of Jesus words are read by Blair Underwood.  He's very passionate.  I feel like I'm right there at Jesus' feet listening to Him.

Will I be ready for flight if Jesus came tonight?  Of course as a Christian I'm quick to say "Yes!!".  But there are those times when I have to really examine my heart.  We know our understanding is not God's understanding.  Although I think I'm ready could my heart be tainted and I be unaware. Hmmmm...let me see.  Is there a name of a person or people that make my stomach turn into knots at the mention of their name?

Obedience Required


As I read through the book of Leviticus, I realize that God is a very detailed God.  He gives us details for a reason.  And since the garden of Eden, I realize although God gives us the power of choice, he already makes clear that disobedience comes with consequence.  

Just like our own children, we need guidelines.  I'm glad he didn't leave us in the dark about things such as offerings.  Even though Jesus paid the price for our sins as the ultimate sacrifice, we still owe God the sacrifice of our praise.  I know that praise is hard because our flesh is stubborn and self centered.  So when I find my flesh feeling heavy and my hands are reluctant to go up, I know that my sacrifice is probably tainted.  Anger, gossip, envy, malice and all those ungodly feelings cause our sacrifices of praise to have spots and blemishes.  At that point we are unable to worship God in spirit and truth.  I've had to close my eyes and wrestle many times in prayer as I'm attempting to praise.  "Lord, whatever this is in my heart that is causing me to not fully submit to you take it away.  Give me a clean heart in Jesus name!!"  How do I know my prayers work?  Depending on how deep the resentment or whatever it is I'm going through is, whether it takes a minute or the whole worship service, it usually ends in me flowing with tears and a major load/burden lifted from my spirit.

MY SIDE OF THE STREET

Being in recovery is basically a lifelong class in session.  Everything turns into a lesson.  At the women's candlelight meeting last night, one of the young ladies shared how no matter how well she's doing in recovery it's just not good enough for her husband.  Also being a stay at home mom for the last seven years, has her feeling like she needs to put her recovery on hold to raise the kids.
I shared with her how I used to think that I was responsible for other peoples' feelings.  We do what we can and that's all we can do.  Our side of the street is clean.  Their resentments, anger or whatever's got them all wound up, can only being changed within them.  We are responsible for our own feelings.  Then I told her how I was in rehab during all three of my kid's birthdays and at first I felt like a real loser.  But the other ladies, my recovery sisters, help me to see that I was giving them the best gift I could...a healthy mother :)

I'm Training My Kids





Proverbs 22.6 says 'train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.  I'm am far from being a perfect parent.  I have many regrets...I regret to say LOL.  But one thing I hold dear to my heart is knowing that if I've done nothing else...I have established within my children's lives the importance of knowing God.  My kids don't believe in Santa.  They know they have a Savior.

I look back and wish I was more disciplined about instilling academic discipline in my kids.  But truth be told, many educated, prosperous, well to do people will miss the rapture.  So when it comes down to it, the best legacy I can give my kids is read your word, fellowship with other believers, talk to Him, thank Him.

It's so cool when your efforts to establish a relationship between your child and God are confirmed when they tell you how they 'prayed' about something, or you hear them thanking God without prompting or better yet they choose not to do something cause they know they are Christian and they don't want to grieve the Spirit of God.  Thank you Lord...for EVERYTHING:)
