Women in the Word-Sharing What you Have
This was a nice reminder for me. Sometimes I forget what it is all about. Remember others starts with your own family.

Women in the Word- This is not Heaven
"The song of the whippoorwill. Let her sing. Let her sing in the dark. let her sing at the dawn. Let her song remind you that you were not made for this place and that there is a place just for you. But until then, be realistic. Lower your expectations of earth. This is not heaven, so don't expect it to be."
~Max Lucado~
I just now read that. I had to stop and read it a dozen times. As I sat quietly looking this over, this thought came to my mind-"Will what you sow now be worth reaping in the future?" In Galatians 6:7-10 it says that "for the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."
When we live for worldly things it creates turmoil and misery in our lives. Well, actually our soul. When we give in to the lusty appetites of our flesh our only gift is endless disappointment. But, when we live under the influence of the Holy Spirit we reap everlasting life.
It is hard to comprehend sometimes. we are fallen and of the flesh brings immediate gratification. Doing something for eternal value sometimes can be uncomfortable and even painful. I needed the reminder that what I do or don't do has eternal effects. Is what I'm planting going to have kingdom value for tomorrow and tomorrow's tomorrow?
Not always, but God reminded tonight to be more mindful of my life and those who pass through it. To plant seeds of truth and life. To look up and remember this is only my temporary home. To find my joy in the Lord and to not make this place heaven because heaven will never let us down.

Women in the Word-Being intentional
I think this is right on. http://www.momheart.org/begin-the-year-intentionally/
How do you go about being intentional? I know for myself, that means limiting computer time and getting up earlier in the morning. I tend to be a night owl that loves knowing the goings on of everything! To pray and seek God more and Facebook less.

Women in the Word-Oh Holy Night
I want to share with you my favorite song, not just my favorite Christmas song, but my most favorite song-ever! The words just soak into my soul and I am always brought to tears. Oh Holy Night.
"A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn". Hope, our great hope in Jesus Christ who came to the world in the most humble and lowly ways to be our sin bearer and to give us hope (Google Jesus and hope). When there seems to be nothing left to give, feel, or even take-we still have our hope in Christ and Christ alone. His mercies are new every single day! Amen!
"Chains shall He break,for the slave is our brother. And in His name all oppression shall cease". He came to break the bondage of sin and Satan's hold on us. There is a constant struggle of things that can hold us in bondage-grief, food, drugs, alcohol, p*rn, and just about anything else you can think of of this world. "For the slave is my brother" With Christ, you see a brother or sister in place where you might of just seen a prostitute, a drug addict, a beggar, a Muslim or Jew, or any other undesirable or different beliefed person we live among. To love them, so that even if they don't seek or know Him, they will recognize Him in us.. Oppression of worldliness will no longer weigh me down in spirit and will cease to have any hold on my life.
Our Savior came to be the light of the world (John 8:12) and to save us from sin (Matthew 1:21). Rejoice with greatness and gladness that our Savior lives and our Savior brings with Him hope and life.
I leave you with a few versions of my favorite song-take a minute to really hear the lyrics and see how it resonates in your soul.

Women in the Word-Loving Every Age
http://ylcf.org/2012/09/loving-every-age/ I found this post awhile ago and held onto it for this day. As many of you know, I LOVE my birthday! It is a great time to reflect on the year past to see where I was, where I am, and where I am going. It is true, our culture reveres youth and anything over 30 as a has been. I disagree! I think we need to celebrate every year and thank God for the privilege of age and wisdom! Aging is inevitable. No matter how much you dwell on it, wish it away, or daydream of your younger years they are not coming back. So celebrate, be proud of your age, and wear it to the glory of God! Also, you never know when it will be your last, so make it memorable not only for you but for those who love you!
I am so grateful that 35 years ago today I was born! I am grateful for all the experiences, all the tears, all the laughter, for all the things that built endurance and character, and mostly for God's faithfulness through it all! Today I celebrate and today I am so blessed that you made it a day I will treasure always!
