Seek the Lord. . .


Isaiah 55:6

All too often we think we have plenty of time to turn to God and live for Him. But this verse reminds us that there will be a day when it will be too late. We should never take for granted that we are in the end times and that our time on earth is short. I'm so glad that we can still call on our Lord today and He hears us and answers.


Blessings to you all this weekend!

    Looks like we're neighbors at Still Saturday -- you linked just before me. Love the Scripture you've chosen for today. We really must be constant in our seeking. Otherwise, we find ourselves distracted and turning in the wrong direction. Love that you are an Ann Voskamp fan too!

      Hi, Sherrey. So glad you stopped over to read my post! I also read your scripture photo and was reminded of a worship song with those words in it. And yes, I absolutely love Ann Voskamp's writing and her website! She has been such an inspiration to me!

    After so much sadness, in the last couple of days, it's a blessing to be here.
    May the families and friends of the shooting know continued strength and love. In Jesus' name, Amen!

    You know, as I wrote posted this, I also thought about the Colorado shooting and how one surviving couple that was interviewed said how it made them think how short and precious life is. Unfortunately they left God out of the interview. I pray the same prayer, that families and loved ones find God's peace in all the loss!

My word for 2016: Happiness

Image
Hello and welcome to my first post of 2016! I'm a bit shocked at writing this post, as I I haven't picked a word for the year for myself for a few years. I hadn't planned on choosing a word this year till recently.  But because last year had SO many challenges for me and I gave so much of myself and felt so drained of energy by the end of the year. it just seemed appropriate to decide on a specific word for 2016. Definition from Dictionary.com "The state of being happy." synonyms: pleasure ,  contentment ,  satisfaction , cheerfulness,  merriment ,  gaiety ,  joy , joyfulness, joviality,  jollity ,  glee ,  delight , good spirits, lightheartedness,well-being,  enjoyment ;   exuberance ,  exhilaration ,  elation ,  ecstasy , jubilation ,  rapture , bliss,  blissfulness I've been reading and praying about the word - happiness - in Scripture, in Christian theological writings and blogs. I'm learning that happiness is not something God

Burn The Ships

Image
The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou

Spiritual Fervor

Image
  We go through our daily routines,  but something is missing. Maybe d uring a crisis or a major life change....            or simply spending less and less time on spiritual pursuits. ...these c an cause us to enter a time in life                          when there's just no enthusiasm or spark. Ha ve you ever been the re before? I have!! There are days when it is difficult to find the drive and zest, even when I know I have the greatest reason to be zealous . Lacking zeal or losing spiritual fervor is som ething that the believer needs to be aware of as he /she progresses in one's spiritual life.  As we grow in our knowledge of Biblical truths and the things of God it becomes quite familiar and the wonder of first discovery can diminish over the years. It is here that spiritual boredom can set in.  Zeal is a fruit of deeply abiding in the One Who is Life! It is different than mere excitement, which happens mostly outwardly and at the surfa
