488 Days Saved - Walk with Christ
*Fearfully Made*
I will praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14
I was at the grocery store the other day. There is this young handsome man who is always there working. He looks a little like Elvis Priestly. I asked him one day, "Has anymore ever told you you look like Elvis." He smiled and said, "No, but I do get 'The Fonz' often." As I began to take my cart to leave I said to the young man,"Well, you better be doing good things with those good looks buddy." I then gave him a big smile and he laughed.
This experience got me thinking about how the earthly world focuses so much on beauty and good looks. God gifts these things in hopes that people will do good things but often they are used wrongly.
A few great men who use their God given good looks for good are Tim Tebow and Kurt Warner! These men are the Godly men other men should to aspire to emulate. Marcus Rogers is a young pastor who knows he use to not use his good looks and charm for Gods glory. He now knows that using his looks for Gods glory is of much more value then charming and snaking in women.
The Challenge:
Gifted with external beauty then use it for Gods glory and not worldly glory!

487 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Seeing Heaven*
No eye has seen no ear has heard no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. 1: Corinthians 2:9
When you walk into heaven you will see
Gates on one pearl
Colors so bright
Streets suspended in light
covered in pure in Gold
The land flows of milk and honey
Animals will have no fear of us
We will have no fear of them.
As you walk you will see the river of life so clear and glorious flowing from the kingdom.
There will be no need for sun or moon because our God is the light.
Jesus will have a large presence
Seated at the right hand of our father
The kingdom like the sun in our universe that shines so brightly.
There will be trees of life that are right next to the clear enchanting river that flows. They will be filled with new fruits.
The Challenge:
Close you eyes and envision these things in you own vision of heaven and what it will look like to you one day.

486 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
Prophesy, Premonition, Psychic Energy
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21
Yes, I believe in prophesy, premonition and psychic energy but I only believe its properly used when used in the name of Jesus Christ. It takes a lot of Godly training to be in the world but never of the world. The more treasure one stores up in heaven the more knowledge if gifted as we build trust with our father.
There are three ways the energy of prophesy, premonition and psychic abilities are used
1: Never Used: In order to be given the key hole to heaven you must believe in order to receive.
2. Used Wrongly: Any energy given outside of Jesus Christ only leads to being misguided and confusion. Without Jesus it simply opens the door up for demonic demonized worldly energy and behavior.
3. Used Properly: Unique knowledge of heaven is only gifted through the Holy Spirit. In order to obtain this one must be born again, accept Jesus came and died in the flesh for our sins and ask for forgiveness through repentance.
The Challenge:
Simply put which number are you?

*The Lord Provides*
Look at the birds they don't plant or harvest or store up feed in barns. For your Heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him then they are? Matthew 6:26
As you all know I love my animals but because of health issues we don't get to have a dog and cat in the house. Since I love when animals like birds, squirls and rabbits come into our yard I decided I'd take care of the Lords wild creatures.
This past weekend I bought some bird seed, bird feeders and a little bird bath. Earlier I thought about my favorite bird the blue jay. I said, "Lord maybe he can come back today?" As I sat at my kitchen table looking into the yard I looked up to say thank you Lord for giving me a way to bring your creatures into my yard. Creature whom gift me so much peace when I watch them. Right as I was saying thank you to our Lord , I looked up and once again there he was my sweet blue jay the Holy Spirit sent to give me a wink.
The Challenge:
The creatures that come in and out of your yard are gifted from above. Love, enjoy and take care of the wild creature of the earth.

*The March*
She looks well †o the ways of her household, and does not eat bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27
This past weekend was the women's March. I am sure you all know but I did not march. I stayed home and remained a help meet to my family. I think the best way to share my opinion on this topic is to share the post I posted to my Facebook wall yesterday.

This past weekend was the women's March. I am sure you all know but I did not march. I stayed home and remained a help meet to my family. I think the best way to share my opinion on this topic is to share the post I posted to my Facebook wall yesterday.
"Okay as a very Christian conservative woman who loves my Jesus I have been in deep thought about the women's march and I believe the Holy Spirit has brought me a bit of clarity, I would like to share and start a healthy discussion.
I think where the March went wrong is clumping all of women's rights issues into one area. This then brought the extremes out that actually hurt the walk as is offered division and confusion for the other side watching. I'll admit I was confused. I realize that's okay because Yes, it's important for these women to get their point across and be heard but It's also important that they see this way caused confusion for the women of the other side of the line!
I can back a few concepts of women's rights movement of course, but the others such as abortion I cannot and that only creates division. I think it would be healthier going forward if women stand for one specific topic of women's rights! Walking for one specific right at a time will make things a bIt easier for the other side to maybe gain insight and clarity on what they are fighting for.
When you go to a restaurant you don't order everything on the menu because you would get sick and the cost is too high. You pick 2 or 3 things to eat. Women's movement is no different. Pick a topic because slushing all of it together only offered confusion and made some from the other side feel sick.. truly.
Let's face it! The vagina head, naked bodies and nipple tassles did NOT bring clarity to the movement."
The Challenge:
The Lord calls us to humbly share our opinions and beliefs. Pointing fingers from either side will not bring unity bit only cause more division. Share ideas but share in a modest, controlled more loving way that never shows an angry side.

*You are Appointed*
I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bare fruit... fruit that will last. John 15:16
Sitting at this little play area I take my kids to weekly. There was a young little boy who just learned to walk but was very wobbly in the knees. The play area is made to look like a forest type wonderland.
The little boy ran, wobbling past the mountain and canoe placed on the floor. He was so joyful. His joy radiated. As he smiled and ran through the wonderland his joyful energy (light) radiated onto me and made me bust out a smile and little sweet laughter.
This little boy represents how God wants us to be. Sure the little boy was wobbly and tripped on the carpet a few times but nothing stole his joy. God wants us to run through this forest called life with pride, smiles, laughter and excitement no matter what! There is simply so much joy in this life knowing we are the chosen ones and appointed by God himself!
The Challenge:
So what if you trip! So what if you are wobbly! Get up and get back running with a big ol grin on your face because you were appointed and you are HIS!

*A wink across the line*
Let love and faithfulness never leave you. Proverbs 3:3
I always tell my friend Karla I'm always a better writer when I'm feeling down. That's the Challenge of being a writer! Laughing here. I have actually been feeling so joyful lately that my depth for writing has declined. Kinda strange how that works but I'm sure you as my audience are okay with some light hearted joyful news from time to time.
So many things are starting to blossom in my life and I am so very excited about the future. Gods promise is true when you take the time to plant the healthy seeds a heaping harvest will flow eventually.
Some of the things I'm seeing are relationships mending. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom with some to begin to rebuild and discover if you even want to rebuild. One of my best friends is very liberal and I am very very conservative in my values. Yesterday we peacefully agreed to disagree and wink at each other across the line from time to time. We both realize we are fighting for separate causes but we are both really really trying in this life! Through this continued friendship we will continue to grow and learn how to love unconditionally and love without the looming political division.
The Challenge:
You may NOT be fighting for the same cause as another but the good news is this! Jesus never said we have to agree in order to love, be kind and show respect.
