Hearing God

I am sitting here at work listening to worship music with my headphones on while my co-worker turns on her R&B music. It wasn’t a bad song but it was very distracting and made it hard for me to hear the worship music. As I was about to get frustrated the Holy Spirit stilled me. This is exactly how it is when it comes to hearing God sometimes. Life gets so loud and there may not be bad things going on just loud things that distract and make it hard to hone in on what God is saying. As I am writing this she turned down the music and now the worship music is louder and it’s on my favorite part of the song. There are times when you have to concentrate to hear what He is saying but if you search for His voice and ignore the noise it will be so worth it.

Everyone Needs A Rabbi

I love Rabbi Daniel Lapin's thoughts. It is important that we love the Jewish people and realize what they have to offer. We as Christians focus so much on the New Testment but there are vital lessons in the Old Testament as well. Click the link below, read, and enjoy.

Worry

I am back!! Okay, so 7 months ago on 3/13/10 I married the man of my dreams. It has been quite a spiritual journey and has really opened my eyees to how much the devil hates marriage. So far every month since being married my DH and I have gone through something. Its always new, always different, and it always hits us and stretches us a little differently. It also brings us closer to each other and to God. Nothing has happened this month, yet. With it being month 7 maybe we will get a break but you know we don't even fret about whats going to come next. God is really growing us from faith to faith. Isn't it amazing how God creates precedent in our lives. When we go through something new we can look back and say well God you got me through that so I know you can get me through this.

Let me tell you something about me. I worry, it comes so natural to me. I put it on like an warm coat in the winter. God is teaching me through this time to rest when it seems that I should worry. At one time DH and I were both not working and a friend of mine said, "What are you going to do? Don't you think you should get a job?" I said, "No, God didn't tell me too." Would you believe ALL of our bills were paid we were eating out and enjoying life. I got caught in a flash flood and our only car was totaled everyone said there is no way you can buy a car for cash that is a good car. Do you know that just when we were going to break down and finance a car (I mean the only thing we were missing was a ride to the dealership) the credit check was complete we just had to sign the papers. God stepped in and opened the door for us to get a car for cash that only had one previous owner and runs great. How dare I worry. I know these trials that I have gone through are God's way of answering my prayers that He show Himself to me anew. That He remind me that I am fact am His favorite.

Be encouraged "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28
