let us kneel & bow down..

Today I attended a bible study that a friend invited me too. I wasn't sure what they would be studying or honestly if I even wanted to go. When my friend told me she would come get me I knew I didn't have any good excuses not to go..
The topic to my surprise was just what I needed. Prayer..something I haven't been doing enough of. Sadly in my walk with Father I struggle with finding time to pray. Also I struggle with wanting too, when I am going through hard trials..I pray those small prayers here and there each day but they aren't the prayers I am sure Father longs for..
I realized just today that my prayers are more about me than about Him..I don't praise Him just for being Who He is.
During the study our leader suggested some Psalms to pray..Tonite I laid across my bed and just began to pray these Psalms. And you know what? Father met me there..He sent His Holy Spirit to comfort me.
I have made a choice to pray and praise Father not because my situation has changed because you know, it hasn't but just because He is a great God, a great King greater than all gods. (Psalm 95:3)
And if it never changes you will still find me praising Him! Just because He is due my praise and adoration..

"He holds the depths of the earth in His hands:
the mountain peaks too belong to Him.
The sea is His-He made it-
and His hands shaped the dry land."


"Come, let's bow down and worship;
let's kneel before Adonai who made us.
For He is our God, and we are the people
in His pasture, the sheep in His care." ~ Psalm 95:4-7    

Nothing that I know of!

There have been so many good things that have come out of our struggles. The L-rd has been speaking to my dh and showing him so many things. My dh is learning and growing. I am learning and growing.
We are able to talk with our children about prayer and they can clearly see just how powerful it truly is! They get to see the L-rd's provision!
Tonight after we prayed we had a blessed time as a family just talking and discussing G-d's word. How we as believers so often take the Word and mold it to fit into our society or our world instead of us as His creation molding our lives to fit Him. We spoke to our children about learning to read G-d's word and to know G-d means what He says. It's not hidden so that we might not know. It is written plainly if we are but willing to open our eyes and look!
My dh read from Hosea and so much of what He read was true right now in our country! He was telling us to remember how important obedience to Father is! Obeying His commandments and not choosing which ones we want to obey and which ones we don't. Just obedience, plain and simple.

It was a truly wonderful time! I looked around at my children and thankfulness just filled my heart full to bursting! I may not have man's riches and success according to the American Dream but I have something that is much more valuable! I have a wonderful G-dly husband and 10 amazing children! I have 10 people who are part of me walking around on this earth! And you know what else? I can't take my van, home or jewelry to heaven with me but I can take my children! We can all sit at Yeshua's feet one day together! We can all worship the King of Kings with the angels together!
Now, you tell me, what's better than that!? Nothing that I know of!

Blessings!

Thoughts Out Loud

The internet can be an interesting place but for me it's also a place where I find I can get my feelings hurt, feel alone and a myriad of other feelings. Lately I have been wondering how beneficial it is being on some of the places I am. Such as, facebook..sometimes it's so quiet that I wonder if I am invisible? Sometimes the comments and posts are frequent and I feel loved and other times I am left feeling blah..seems there is something wrong with this picture? Maybe I should take a leave of abscence from facebook? I don't know? Just something I am thinking on..

Maybe I am just weird and no one else out there experiences these things?

I have been thinking lately that I am a put all my eggs in one basket sort of gal which can leave me hurt and feeling alone, etc.. It's just my personality to be this way..just who I am but perhaps learning to separate my eggs and put them into other baskets would be more beneficial? I'm not speaking of facebook here by the way..so as not to confuse anyone.

I guess today is a day for sharing thoughts and feelings and for rambling..

Most likely I am not making any sense...oh well..just thinking out loud here..
