From What We Are Given What Will We Do.


We were all given the same thing! Life from God. With that life what will we do with it. 

When I found out I was pregnant I realized what my life purpose was. God made me to be a mother. True, God has blessed me with a child that I need to care for, but is that what I was placed on this earth to do. 
Are we not placed on this earth to know God and make Him known. How far will we go to make sure we do everything in our power to make God known? There will come the day when we will enter Heaven and God will judge us on if we made Him known. 

I feel like I was blessed to have on my heart to blog and spread God's word. I will never know how many people read this or learn from what I talk about. All I know is that I am spreading God word and I am doing to my best ability to make Him known. I found myself answering a couple questions from a classmate about where in the Bible to find certain teachings on the end of time. Feeling so blessed that I was able to help some one else get to know God and what is yet to come, I realized how good that made me feel to know that I was inching some one toward God by reading the word. 
It is such an awesome feeling to hear some one who is growing a relationship with God. It was almost every day for a little while that a new friend of mine would talk to me about how ever since she started praying that she has felt so much happier and better about life. What an amazing thing to hear. That makes my heart so happy when some one is drawing nearer to God. On top of that, she said today that with the help of her blog that she was able to get the attention of some one else. 
Together we can work as one community to serve the purpose of life; to make God known. In everything we do, we should do it for God.

Every morning I pray, 'With everything I do today, let it be to serve you.'

How are you spreading the Word of God? Are you? 

This blog was based off of, of course, Greg Laurie's sermon and the parable Luke 19.

In Prayer

Image
Do you want to grow spiritually?  Of course we do! I do!  Pastor Greg Laurie goes more into depth of prayer while studying The Lord's Prayer in Luke 11.  The basic things are the main things we need to focus on. Stating the most important things are the simplest things. Prayer is communicating and listening to God. In Luke 11 the disciples are asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus then began ' The Lord's Prayer '.  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2 We must pray according to the will of God. We need to ask God to give us the plan for our life. His will for us will be done on this earth, only if we ask.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. Luke 11:4 We need to confess our sins, even if we don't believe we have do

The 'Traditional Family'

Image
Tuesday while listening to Greg Laurie, he said something that really hit home and I began to feel sad, upset, hurt and even a little angry. This is what he said and I quote  "The idea of a traditional family seems to be something of the past. So many broken homes today... We have to visit dad and his new wife and we have to visit mom and her new boyfriend and I have all these new step brothers and sisters and the whole thing is sort of...icky. Uncomfortable. Awkward." -Greg Laurie  Well Pastor Greg, you hit that one spot on. Before he made that quote he addressed that there are broken home in the result of divorce. However, to be in that situation he described doesn't always have to be the result of a divorce. It could simply be the result of ignorance as well!  Growing up, I always told myself I would never have a broken family, and if you have kept up with my blog you have heard that plenty of times.  Well no one ever wants to have a broken family. But for me, that was

Who Are We?

I listened to a sermon on the 4th and I have been trying to put all my thoughts together to write a post about it because it was so meaningful for me. It helped me realize a lot about myself and my faith. I am still trying to get all my ducks in a row for that post but I just wanted to give a little bit of encouragement. It seems like most sermons preached lately are about this craziness but out of that craziness there is a lot to learn! In Exodus 13-16 we read about how Pharaoh finally let the Israelites out of Egypt. All the Isrealites wanted was to be let go and what was one of the first things they did when they got out of Egypt? They complained. They started complaining about how they 'missed' things from Egypt.  Exodus 16:3 says   The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the  Lord ’s hand in Egypt!  There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food  we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death.”
