Out in the Open




Today I got my daily verse from the Daily Bread.

Hebrews 4:13
"Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eye of Him to whom we must give account."

This verse encourages me because I know the God I worship is an all-knowing God. It is also encouraging because I know He is always near. What is so great about knowing those two wonderful details of my God is that I never have a to feel alone and I will never be able to feel the need to hide.
Sin is ugly, and when we know we are sinning, usually that sin is done in privacy and fear. When no one else know or we know no one else will find out. That is such a worldly thought, isn't it? We don't want others to find out but in reality that sin won't truly matter to anyone but God. So why do we find the need to hide?
Knowing this about God helps show the grace that God is constantly giving us. We may fail but we know we have a God who loves us so much and is so willing to forgive. We must not take that for granted. We must know that God is so forgiving but we need to do our part in making sure we rebuke any sinful thoughts that come to us.

Everything is out in the open in this relationship we have with God. In the end, He is the one who will judge us. There are no secrets because God wants so much for us. He has given so much up for us to be in a relationship with him.

That helps me feel wanted.
Truly wanted by the King.

I constantly gain guidance and wisdom from God's Word and I am so thankful that we are free to worship God, the one true King.

Thank you, God for wanted me. For helping me go down the right path. You are always with me and guiding me to your word to gain more knowledge in this unpredictable life we live in. I am truly thankful to know you and to be your child. Amen.

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?

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...
