When God is making something glaringly evident in your life and is growing a deep passion in your heart for something you believe he is calling you to do, when do you begin to share that dream? And with whom do you shire it?
I know that it’s all in God’t Timing but it is getting harder and harder to keep the excitement and joy bottled up!!!
I am so excited to see where God will lead! It’s an amazing feeling!!
Let me know your thoughts!
As I sit here and I am writing this I scratch my head in wonderment. I have been duped. Satan Achieved at bringing me down a notch or two….or a hundred…..
Back about 4 months ago I found a TV show that sparked my interest. I love gymnastics and I have always loved watching it. It takes so much grace , poise and stregth to be a gymnast and ALMOST every little girl loves watching it. Actually In mu hometown growing up we had a male gymnast who made it to the olympics!matter oif fact he graduated from the high school I sttended my freshman through Junior years. So again my interest peeked.
As i began to watch the show it was seemingly harmless….No swearing at all which impressed me immensely. Then one of the actresses looked so familiar But I couldn’t place her…..Finally after seeing an interview I knew she was. She is Candace Cameron Bure Otherwise known as DJ Tanner from the 90’s hit TV show full house, sister to former child star and now known for his most recent role in Fireproof- Kirk Cameron.
Over the last few years I have read a few articles about Candace and her faith and was so amazed at the stand she took. But now as I have some questions….I am not judging her faith but he convictions and I seriously wonder if she really sees that her testimony is at stake. Does she realize that by being a part of this show she is putting her stamp of approval on a couple of underlying issues that the show potrays as “OK”
1. Pre-marital sex is okay if the person really loves each other and they are ready
2. Emily had the right to choose to keep her baby….eluding to the fact that it was okay if she aborted it….
3.And in the latest episode it was “OK” that Max was bi-sexual….
Now I am not a bully…I have had friends who are gay….BUT I hold to the TRUTH that there is right and wrong. The Bible clearly states that Sex outside of Marriage is wrong, Murder is wrong, and that ANYTHING outside of HUSBAND and WIFE is wrong! If you are a believer of Jesus Christ and you believe the BIBLE you have No business taking part of something that goes contrary to that…..
NOW that eing said I am at fault too. I got sucked in to the story line and my love for gymnastics. BUT I will not be watching it again. NO more..NOT a chance.
I am sorry Lord for allowing my judgement to be impaired by my own desires. I am so sorry i put garbage in. And please Lord help me to focus on those things of Pure content as listed in Phil. 4.8…Help me to communicate to those around me that being Salt and Light does not mean I should be taking a part in the same things that goes against what the You set forth in your word! In Jesus name Amen
Join me as I journey to find excellence in doing all things to the Glory of God
Greetings all,
Welcome to my new home!
Some things may look VERY familiar to some of you….that is because you knew me originally as happy mama. and my old Blog was HAPPY HOME!
This past fall I moved in here! AND I LOVE IT!
So let’s get on with the introductions-shall we.
My name is Mary. I am a pastor’s wife and we live in not so sunny NY state!
I have a WONDERFUL hubby and that is EXACTLY what i refer to him as here..HUBBY. I am also a mom to four kiddos all under 5 1/2 and NOPE none of them are twins and we have not adopted…YET!
Let’s introduce them….they are Tornado, he is 5 1/2 and is in Pre-K. He loves Cowboys and the Civil War….So much so that for Christmas hubby made him a Union Army Uniform and he proudly wears his Sergeant stripes!
Lady bug is Next in Line- She is 4 1/2. and at4 1/2 she sports her own Crazy style. She is allowed to dress like that only when there is no other peaple around So you may not see her sporting such craziness!
Weasel is next . he turned three in the fall and he really is our comic relief. he has so many nicknames itis unbelievable and when you ask him what his name is he will answer with ALL of them attached. his smile and his eyes will egt him anything from other people SOOO watch out!
And Little Bean…what a cutie. He will turn a year old this month and he LOVES everyone. He is such a happy little guy BUT a bit small for his age! Over the last six months it has been a struggle to keep the weight on him. He has endured many tests at such a young age But nothing has been found. He is a mover and perhaps that is why.
And lastly our beloved family pet. LINUS . We originally had two Chocolate labs BUT alas we had to get rid of Lucy…DO you get it now! It’s like having a fifth little kid. he will turn two this month So the lineup is complete!
I encourage you to stay a while and look around. i have not yet gotten all the blogs post moved over from the other blog So ENJOY YOUR STAY, and leave a comment letting me know what you think of my new Home!
can literally change the world… or at least the world of someone close to us. Our speech impacts and touches so many people……My kids for instance need to know that i love them. this can be a real struggle when the kids get into stuff they are not supposed and yet there are those times that you catch yourself saying something that you are left scratching your head asking yourself “Did I really just say that?”
Well I have had some of those moments over the last few months and i have kept them until now!
and Finally…
I never really thought I would ever have to say that A SECOND time to the same kid….But alas i look back on these little sayings i think that i could have really lost my temper but instead I chose to laugh…..I think so many times as Parents or spouses we forget to laugh….
Choose to laugh if you or your spouse can’t find keys and then make spares when you find them again…..It what you choose your reaction to be…you cannot choose your circumstances but you CAn choose your attitude AND your words!
I use network blogs via FB and this is a test
