A Call to Anguish - David Wilkerson

Rememberance Day

Obama

Isn't it interesting how during the election he said exactly what the nation wanted to hear in order to become president and now he is saying the exact opposite...and what is sad is that I'm not surprised...are you?

Makes me feel like the tribulation is much closer than not! May we all keep our hearts and eyes on the Lord and open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Some Things I Like....

I always just thought I was born rude and had no hope of changing...when ACTUALLY, my candid thoughts and passionate attitudes are linked to being firstborn! who knew??!!
Here is a tidbit from a friend of mine who is also a firstborn, "I remember a conversation with a friend (who was a pastor) and he said "people like you are the barking dogs..."... but that we do provide course correction sometimes.
Not the most flattering analogy for a woman :) - but i chose to see this as "maybe this is your part of the Body of Christ".. we all have our function"
Hehe, I really like that...no it's not the most flattering, but without barking dogs, who will keep the lambs from the wolves??


I also have found that I really enjoy some comedians...who knew?! Here is one of my favorite comedians...

I found a new blog that is my absolute favorite!
She's very blunt, to the point, sarcastic, yet not in a hurtful way! More in a thought provoking way...
In her post listed above she challenges my views of Christmas yet again...I love these kind of challenges, they make me search the Word and research some more...

I guess I like the 'in your face' approach...better than the 'politically correct' approach to a conversation...perhaps because I'm so "blond" and don't get a lot of innuendos or hints...lol

Anyhow, those are some things I like and why I like them...lol Hope you enjoy and for pete's sake, leave a comment, even if it's just to say "hi!"...I'm getting lonely...lol

The Teacher by Leslie Pinckney Hill (1800-1960)

The Teacher

"LORD, who am I to teach the way
To little children day by day,
So prone myself to go astray?

I teach them KNOWLEDGE, but I know
How faint they flicker and how low
The candles of my knowledge glow.

I teach them POWER to will and do,
But only now to learn anew
My own great weakness through and through.

I teach them LOVE for all mankind
And all God's creatures, but I find
My love comes lagging far behind.

Lord if their guide I still must be,
Oh let the little children see
The teacher leaning hard on Thee."

Philippians 4:6,7 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 16:3 - Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Nehemiah 8:10 - ...the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Psalm 121:1,2 - I lift my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
