James

"I wanna a heart that trembles...."

 Man, do I need understanding!! The way I interpret things isn't always the way it is, thank God we can ask Him.

 The book of James, states "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach (fault finding), and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith..." (1:5,6)

You...

Let me share a poem....probably would be better spoken, but here goes....

You are my come down

Back to reality, 

When everything's said and done
You are one, we are one
It's to You I come, my heart has been won

No easy prize at first-it was rock,

Built from knocks and bricks of hurt that block...

Out pain, out the shame, out the art to trust again

Like it was a game, with more hide then seek,

From behind my mask-I peek, and caught a glimpse of a freak,

Freaks that seek-Jesus for keeps,but keep Him they did not

Freely they gave Him, because He had been given, 

That whoever would take Him would be for-given.
Took Him I did, and alive, He lives,
He is my reality and real is His love.                 

Woop! Woop!

Teach me....

Again God has blown me away with His goodness...He is sooooo precious! He knows exactly what we need. 

And He protects us from ourselves....believe me I would do everything if given the opportunity, and most of the time I am!

 But God is gracious enough to whisper when I'm doing too much or something that might seem 'good' but won't benefit me for now, or in the long run.

 Listen up 'cause He's calling out....just like wisdom in the book of Proverbs...calling out to those who will seek her counsel (kinda paraphrased). 

Beautiful song I found on itunes...

Wise or Wanton....

Ten more days to go....

 
Been reading the book of Proverbs, wow, there's some good stuff in there! 

 Great wisdom, I feel has rubbed off on me - just from reading a couple of chapters....it's making me aware of my foolishness, and laziness!
   It, more or less, begins warning men to pursue wisdom and not adulterous women, and though I haven't got there yet, I know it ends with a 'day in the life' of a wise woman; one to be admired.

• " For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword." Proverbs 5:3,4 (NIV)

• " Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." Proverbs 31:30 (NLT)

I wanna be the second one....  :)

Toodaloo...

Wondered today why I'm so polite in the public loos! I normally go into the cubicle to put on deodrant...why? I mean, it's not like women don't know that we all wear deodrant! And there's countless times I've seen women preening, putting make-up.

Am I the only one who goes into the cubicle?! I mean, I could understand if it was an aerosol or something, but it's an underarm 'smooth-on' thingy!

Well today I put it on facing the mirror, fully aware of the looks I was getting; I kinda imagined it to be a changing room.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I didn't strip off! Just ya' know, hitched up my jumper dress whilst still wearing my coat ( ok, so that could have been what the looks were for! Maybe ;)

Look, there was more room out there than in the cubicle!

1 thing....

One thing remains....

wow, "heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away." Jesus

Draw close to Him so we can hear Him speak.

Go!

So, What Shall We Say Today?!
....Carpe Diem! (sieze the day)

Yes, go for it. Don't dilly dally, get your foot on the gas and go! It is the season to move, forward motion...on it!
What are you waiting for?! Who's gonna do it if you don't? Come on. Go!Go!Go!

There...that's my motivational speech. And the beauty is we can do it....and even better when we get His help.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Oh, and He's with us.... :)
