Daniel 6




The story of Daniel and the lions' den. Daniel was thrown into punishment because he prayed to God. It was against the rules/law. However, Daniel continued to pray to God throughout his punishment. Deathly punishment was no stop to Daniel's love and passion for God. He wasn't ashamed of it nor did he hide it after he was thrown into the lion's den. Daniel talked to God as if He was a person right there with him. If you think about it, isn't that the way we should pray. Like God is right by our side. Haven't we invited God into our hearts? Therefore He is right next to us and we can talk to Him just as Daniel did, everyday. He was the definition of a true believer. 

Can you say you are like Daniel? Always professing your faith. Does everyone you come into contact with know you are a Christian? People should be able to know you are a believer is God by what you say, how you live and even by the way we dress.  

I always give this lady a ride to school when she needs one. Either on my way there or home is when I listen to Greg Laurie. I would always shut it off when she got in he car though and would save it for the way home or when I got home. Well today I put it on and I left it on. I was halfway through his message when I picked her up but finished it with her in the car.
I could tell that she was listening because of her sighs or gestures she made to some of the things he was saying. Even though she didn't get to hear the whole message. She got to hear some and for me that made me feel good. I was witnessing to her without even using my words. Just having Greg Laurie playing in my truck was enough to let her hear about God. Especially with this being the Christmas season, it's a great time to witness to others. I don't know exactly how it effected her but I knew she was listening. 
I'm pretty sure I'll play it more often even when she is in the car so that she can listen too. 

Do you sometimes feel silly witnessing or talking about God in general? Take this as an example and realize how easy it is and how much it might help some one. You can be the difference in some one's day.

Day One of Homeschooling

Image
  We did it!  Our first day of homeschool is complete. I woke up early and made the kiddos French toast and cut up some fruit. Excuse me, Luke cut you some fruit as you can see in our new vlog post! Luke woke up at 6 and I tried to get him back to sleep but that was clearly a fail as he left the room ten minutes after I did. We ate breakfast and Jack was still asleep. I thought for sure he would sleep late and we could start school without him.  😂 He woke up shortly after and then we were all on the same page by then. We took our pictures outside (Jack was not having it). And then our day began!  The kids were so excited to see their little gifts and the homeschool area all set up. We started our morning with a read aloud. We read Ten Apples up on Top since our topic is apples this quarter. The kids all got a composition book that we will use for the morning read alouds. They can draw or write whatever comes to mind as I read to them. It was cute to see what they al...

Where Have I Allowed Myself To Go?

Image
Wow!  I haven't written forever and I pray I can get back to writing more because what that did for me was incredible. That was my quiet time where I could draw away from all the worries in life and just focus on God and what He has done for me.  This past year or so has been such a struggle for me. Marriage is HARD! I always knew it would be hard but not this hard! It got even harder when I drew away from God. I thought I could do this on my own when obviously this is a precious gift from God and why would I ever think I could do this on my own. I've struggled so much with balancing everything in my life. I've also struggled throughout this pregnancy. I have never been so emotional in my life. I feel like I lost all control over everything that was in order in my life. And I know the exact reason why. It has nothing to do with pregnancy or hormones. It has to do with my faith. I never denied to anyone or myself that I'm not struggling with my faith. I know for a...

Who Are We?

Image
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 assem...
