Hi Ladies. It feels good to know your not alone, Right? I thank God for you ladies. I thank God that as followers of Christ we are here to uplift each other, and I thank you.
Today was a day of contemplation for me. My birthday was yesterday and I'm creeping closer and closer to the beloved number 30. I'm not there yet, but I'll tell you what, I'm actually looking forward to it. As I read some of your comments on Mom's toolbox some one picked vs. 2 of Matthew 5 and I'm reminded that if we want to learn God will teach us we just have to sit at his feet and listen. Beautiful right?
This definitely was a full chapter but for me this verse stood out.
Scripture Matthew 5:42
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Observation
We aren't really given on option out. Jesus told us to give.
Application
As a mother, wife, daughter, friend, niece, sister I feel like somebody always wants something. But I'm reminded that it is God who blesses and if someone asks something of me who am I to not share that blessing. God is a God of giving freely and I should do the same.

Blogging thru the Gospels Matthew 4
Everyday I'm searching for ways to draw closer to God. And I've come across Blogging thru the Gospels from Mom's Toolbox.
Soooo here we go. . . .
Blogging thru the Gospels Matthew 4
Scripture
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Observation
Jesus was led to be tempted and what struck me is that he prepared himself.
Application
There are many things in my life that i just expect God to handle, which he will, but i'm reminded that we have a part to play in this journey and that we are to prepare our selves spiritually in order to allow him to lead.
Prayer
Lord I thank you for giving us the resources to equip ourselves for the daily battle. Lord I ask for strength to be able to turn form temptation and turn to you.
Side note: As I have often felt in my life, right now I feel out of control. I have many challanges in my life that I have yet to over come and it drives me crazy. I just ask for any believer reading this, please pray that I let go of self, who leads me out of control, and allow God to control my life.
Soooo here we go. . . .
