Spending Time Together, Forever!




Sometimes I need to hear the simplest things, that I should know, in church that change my whole outlook on life. 
A missionary couple that our church prays and supports, came back to give a message. What I got out of the message was just being able to serve God where you are. Some missionaries are called to foreign countries, while some are just called to serve God right where they are. Mr. Elbin addressed the hardship of leaving family and loved ones to go on these long mission trips. He made the point that even though it's hard to leave them, won't we be spending eternity with them in Heaven? If they know God and have a relationship with Him, we will always be with them. 

I've been having a really hard time being away from my son. We have always been so close but with him being older our bond is only growing stronger. What I failed to realized, until today, is that even though I'm wasting time away from Kye when I need to be doing what I have to to support us, I will be spending eternity with him...forever! Haha 

Isn't that amazing?!

As long as I am keeping my faith and relationship strong with Christ and I continue to raise my son up in a Christian house hold, I have absolutely nothing to worry about. 
Satan is working so much in this world that it's so easy to fall into sadness and loneliness. We just need to understand God is greater than all of these emotions. God has this all under control. He can fix any emotion and make it good! 


Surround ourselves with Godly people and everything will be alright!

In Prayer

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.”
