30 Days 1 Reason- 2013
In India, there is a family whose father was just laid off from his job. There are many children and the mom and dad are not sure how they are going to make it. The oldest daughter, around 13 years old decides she wants to help and begins looking for a job. Her aunt comes to her and tells her that she has found a great opportunity for her to make money to help her family. The girl goes and meets with the people who tell her of the amazing opportunities she will have to help. She goes with them and is forced to have sex with many men and is told she will never see her family again.
This story is an all too common story.
If ever there was a reason to sacrifice, I believe I have found it. For the month of November, I will be wearing the same shirt every day.
I am wearing this shirt to raise awareness of human trafficking in India. Just $15-20 is all it takes to rescue one girl from this terrible life. I know it seems so small...what is one life compared to the many, many lives all over the world? One life is a life. One life is someone's daughter. One life is one more rescued. And we can overcome this horrific cycle, one life at a time!
Please consider supporting me in this effort to bring hope to the lives of the hopeless through Project Rescue!!

In the night
I am reading 1Kings 3 as I prepare my sermon for youth tomorrow night. As I dove a little deeper into the passage and read through Matthew Henry's commentary, I came across this amazing little insight to verse 5, when the Lord comes to Solomon at night.
Whatever you are walking through at the moment, I challenge you to get quiet before the Lord. Let Him speak into your night and bring guidance, encouragement, peace, hope, and direction to your situation. Don't get bogged down by the trial, either. Find ways to continue to be faithful to God and serve Him. He is so faithful to meet with us. Prepare your meeting place and your heart for an encounter with the Creator of the universe. He longs for it. He desires to bring you rest and comfort.
"The more we abound in God’s work the more comfort we may
expect in him; if the day has been busy for him, the night will be easy in him.
Silence and retirement befriend our communion with God. His kindest visits are
often in the night,"
In this passage, "night" is literal. It's dark, it's quiet, it's peaceful at the place where Solomon offered sacrifices. But I can't help but think that this can mean so much more. We use night to describe our darkest moments at times. If we read this commentary in that mind set, what encouragement we can find! Sometimes, it's in our darkest, hardest moments that we actually are quiet enough to hear the voice of God speak to us in ways that we would never have heard otherwise.
Whatever you are walking through at the moment, I challenge you to get quiet before the Lord. Let Him speak into your night and bring guidance, encouragement, peace, hope, and direction to your situation. Don't get bogged down by the trial, either. Find ways to continue to be faithful to God and serve Him. He is so faithful to meet with us. Prepare your meeting place and your heart for an encounter with the Creator of the universe. He longs for it. He desires to bring you rest and comfort.

Nothing is "new"
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV)
9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
And there it is. Does it get any simpler than that? I have heard that verse so many times in my life. I guess I always just took it in but never really gave it much thought. But tonight as I was studying about the book of Malachi (I know! Not even Ecclesiastes!), I read some things that jumped off of the page and brought this verse to mind.
Basically, the author is explaining that, as we read Malachi, we see the people of Israel and they could only see the current conditions and were unable to see what they had been brought out of. Although their current situation wasn't what they wanted or thought it would be, they were far better off than they were in captivity!
The text says, "Although they had worked hard with good motivation, they had encountered opposition and great difficulty in rebuilding the temple and the walls of Jerusalem. To them, this meant that they had somehow displeased the Lord and were reaping the consequences. As a result, the people had grown cynical: If this was the way God was going to treat them, why should they bother giving their best to God?"
It was right there that I had a Gru moment...you know Gru...the villain we all love from Despicable Me? "Lightbulb"...No? Oh...
Anyway, I had an "Ah ha" moment. Just in the past week I talked with several people who had a really bad life experience slightly as a result of their own choices but mostly as a result of others. Their response is just what this text is referring to. Immediately it was all God's fault and if that's all God is going to do, then what's the point?
Someone explain to me why, at the slightest hardship, moment of reality, or even correction, do we want to play the blame game and in this game, God gets the blame?
The argument I get is, "Well, if God really is who He says He is then He saw this all coming and it's His fault because He allowed me to ____________ and I got hurt."
The reality is that, God created us. He created in His image, meaning that we have the ability to think, reason, be emotional, and be in relationship with others. In His amazingly divine wisdom, He also created us with something called, FREE WILL. That's right! We have the ability to choose for ourselves.
I love my husband and I love my kids. I love my family and I have some awesome friends. But I would never want them to do something for me or spend time with me or even say they love me because I make them. I want them to want to do/be those things. It's the same with God. Yes, He created us, but He still wants us to want to choose Him. So when bad things happen in this life, it's not His fault. It's the fault of the boneheads making poor choices without any thought of God's plan or how it will effect others around them. Do we get hurt in the process? Unfortunately, the answer to that is a resounding "YES!" And it's okay to ask God why the situation went down as it did and listen for His response.
Had the Israelites done that, if we would do that, then instead of being angry and hurt and shoving our boney pointy fingers in God's face, we would find that it is possible that others made a bad choice OR, what we thought was a part of the plan, was not really part of God's plan and we tried to do things on our own.
Nothing has changed! From thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago, to this very day, this is still a huge issue in our world.
Why did 3 women get abducted and remain captive for almost 10 years? Because the man that committed the crimes is a sick individual. Where was God? In the rooms with the women, crying as they wept, loving them as they were broken, giving them the will and strength to hold on one more day!
Why did the bombings in Boston happen? Because 2 men harbored an enormous amount of hatred and an enormous lack of value for human life. Where was God? In the hearts of those who ran TOWARDS the smoke and victims and hospitals to offer their assistance and blood.
Look, this life doesn't make sense. It's messy. It's hard. It's scary at times! And God still responds today as He did back then. "God responded to His people's questions by assuring them of His love and compassion for them."
Sometimes these terrible things happen, and sometimes people crush us simply as a result of living in a fallen world.

Suffering
Suffering has been the forefront of life recently.
We see suffering everywhere we look. From bombings, explosions, shootings, persecution, basic human rights, hunger, disease, human trafficking, death...it's everywhere.
It's so hard to imagine why we must walk these roads. To question leadership, loyalties, laws and even God. To revert to a very childlike state, stare up at the sky and ask my Father, "Why?"
This side of heaven I am not sure we will ever truly grasp how all of these things fit into a grand design, a beautiful tapestry woven together by Almighty hands who are tender and firm at the same time. An Almighty heart that is loving beyond all comprehension and therefore is broken. An Almighty Father who's discipline and correction are given out of an unspeakable grace and mercy that flows from His heart.
I have sat this morning staring at a screen that scrolls with news of hurting families, continued and immense torture for a fellow brother in Christ, and people who are just lost in themselves. And I raise my head, tears overflowing, look to heaven and simply say, "Why?"
And I am reminded by a still small voice...
1 Peter 4:12 Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
Romans 5: 3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
8: 18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.
2 Thessalonians 1: 5 And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering.
As hard as it is right now, it will be worth it! We can't give up, give in, jump ship, run for the hills, turn tail, or doubt. We must hold fast to the truth of God's word that this will make us into who HE has truly created us to be.
Always remember,

Questions of faith
This life can be so hard at times. Things happen that we don't understand and we wonder "Why?" Why us? Why now? Why this?
One of my favorite books is called The Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews. I have read it 3 times and it is highlighted and underlined and written in from each of the times I have read it. One of my favorite quotes from this book is, "Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great." I have written about that before. But in my Bible reading today, it came back to mind.
Today I read about Abraham and the testing of his faith. I think that many of us have had times where we feel we are raked over the coals but I have to wonder how many of us can truly identify with Abraham (Genesis 20) when God told him to take his only son, the one promised by God and given in old age that would be the beginning of a line of descendants that was promised to change the world, and sacrifice him.
Here's the truth and some lessons to learn:
God WILL sometimes test His children's faith. This testing honors God's kingdom.
We can trust God to provide EVERYTHING that is NECESSARY to accomplish HIS plans and desires for our lives.
Sometimes He accomplishes His will in our lives by destroying OUR hopes and dreams so that HIS hopes and dreams FOR US can be fulfilled in an even greater way!
Once we've walked through the testing, God's encouragement and strength come flooding in and He brings us rewards for the perseverance.
True life comes through complete surrender to God and being willing to sacrifice whatever He requires.
(Here's the best part) The result of suffering through a test of faith is better understanding that the Lord is FULL of compassion and mercy!
Whatever fire you're walking through, don't begrudge it. Look at it as your refining process. Look at it as God's way of proving Himself faithful to you and your proving yourself committed to Him.
It makes me thing of the old Scott Kripayne song "Sometimes He Calms The Storm."

It makes me thing of the old Scott Kripayne song "Sometimes He Calms The Storm."
Sometimes He calms the storm with a whisper "peace be still".
He can settle any sea. But it doesn't mean He will.
Sometimes He holds us close and let's the wind and waves go wild.
Sometimes He call calms the storm. And other times He calms His child.
He can settle any sea. But it doesn't mean He will.
Sometimes He holds us close and let's the wind and waves go wild.
Sometimes He call calms the storm. And other times He calms His child.
Guess what...WE are His children!
So rest in His grace, mercy and compassion. Breathe deep of His promises. Lay back against His chest as He holds you close and know that this storm will not last forever and your reward is on it's way.

Romans
This month, I am studying Romans. God is just so good as to also lead my pastor in the same direction for his sermon series at the same time! Always cool when God overlaps the facets of our lives in such a way as to continually build us up.
I love Jesus. I love God. And I love the Holy Spirit.
They are so unique in the purposes for living an effective and fulfilling Christian life and, yet, at the same time, They are ONE. This concept is always a hard one for most of us to grasp. I am sure you have heard the egg or apple analogy. I have used the card the comes at Christmas time to your family to describe it. My favorite was a geologist explaining it in comparison to the parts of space. But in this study, the author puts into a list form, how each member of the Godhead participates in providing our salvation and I think this makes sense and helps! The reference is Romans 8:1-4 and the lists are:
The Father: gave His Son in order to save us, since the Law (the requirements for right living found in the Old Testament, given prior to Jesus' death) is powerless to overcome sin (8:3; 2 Cor. 5:21). Those who put their trust in Him receive His righteousness and sin's control over them is broken. He also gives us His Spirit (8:4).

Those who put their trust in Him receive His righteousness and sin's control over them is broken. He also gives us His Spirit (8:4).
**Sin's control is broken!! That is shouting material, right there! I mean, does it get any better than that? WOO!!
The Son: Came in human likeness--except He was without sin (8:3; John 1:14; Phil 2:8; Heb 4:15). He became a sin offering, turned aside God's wrath, set us free from sin and death, and became for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption (1 Cor. 1:30).
**Set us free from sin and death! We are holy and righteous!
So unmerited. So free. So AMAZING!
So unmerited. So free. So AMAZING!
The Holy Spirit: Unites us to Christ and His body (John 3:3, 5, 8: 1 Cor. 12:13). Through Christ's sacrifice, the Spirit sets us free from the law of sin and death (8:2) and enables us to fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law (8:4). The prophet Ezekiel foretold this (36:27)
**Again, here we are FREE! Not only free but given what we need
to obey the requirements of the Law!
to obey the requirements of the Law!
They each play such a vital role in giving us the life-giving freedom of salvation and empowering us to live full and amazing lives.
The Trinity, God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are who make my life worth living and gives me hope of a future beyond my physical death.

Just another manic...Tuesday?
The life of a parent is never dull. But the life of a mom, well, it's never not semi-chaotic.
Yes, there is a double negative.
No, I don't care.
The flu and other nastiness is running rampant.
Yesterday I had to pick up my oldest red head from school with a very slight fever and stomach cramping.
Today he stayed home.
20 minutes after dropping off the youngest red head at school, the nurse called because he was in her office.
Now, I do not want to say he is faking, but, he is faking.
So I am home from work today and have LOTS to do and unable to focus or concentrate on any of it!!
This may be part of the problem

Wrecked heart=open heart
Saturday nights, my church offers a time to come together and intimately worship The Lord, fellowship with great people from several churches and to be challenged. God wrecked my heart tonight. During worship, I quickly had to grab my iPad because God was laying some thoughts on me...
We sit around and complain and shout that this world is a wreck because God has been removed from the classroom. But I guarantee that students all over our country talk with God while they are at school. He doesn't have to be taught from behind a Teacher's desk! No! The issue is that His people have grown complacent and unwilling to fight the battles! Unwilling to stand in the face adversity. Too quick to pass blame. Too quick to make excuses! I am sick of the pitiful excuse of "no prayer in school'! A relationship with God is as much caught as it is taught! We have got to live it out! We have got to stop giving only lip service! He deserves more. Your family deserves more. Your church deserves more. GOD DESERVES MORE! This world is so lost and unfortunately we are seeing the same attitude in the church! No more excuses. No more blame unless we are looking in the mirror first. I can do nothing about the heart of the person next me unless I first take care of my own. When will we take some responsibility ourselves? When will we stop and realize that the church no longer has the same influence because it has allowed others to influence it?
Paul says it best.

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God. (Acts 20:24 NLT)
Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach the Good News! (1 Corinthians 9:16 NLT)

Lazy Friday
This has been my view today.
cute, huh? So here are what mine look like.
I googled "flags of the world" and what came up was the information on the Olympic rings. They represent the colors of the flags of the world. So, running with that, I am making my bracelets in the same colors. STL supports missionaries all over the world to reach the people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The intent is that every time you look at the bracelet, you will be reminded to pray for the missionaries and the people they are trying to reach. The bracelets are $2 each. $1.50 of each bracelet will go towards the STL goal of Project365 Student Ministries. To order, comment here or contact me via the P365 Facebook Page.
Bassets are such lazy dogs. Exept when they are running out of the back door with your undergarments to spread around the back yard. Then it's game on.
Anyway........I found this cute and easy idea on Pinterest the other day that I thought would be a super cute and easy way to raise money for Speed the Light.

Hello New Year!
I decided that this year I would blog at least once a week. I have high aspirations of blogging more than that and owuld love to get to a point where I blog every day, but let's face it, that is probably not going to happen.
I am supposed to blog weekly or bi weekly for our church's page and I am hit and miss on that one, too. I am such a slacker.
As I have thought about what I wanted to blog about this week, I was stumped. And then, I came across a video that I just have to share.
Anyone else a fan of a little show on A&E called Duck Dynasty? When I first heard about this show, I refused to watch it. I mean, how much more red neck can you get? But when I actually sat down and watched, I LOVED it! I mean, this family is hilarious! Every family has an Uncle Si. Every family has a Jep. Every wife can identify with Kori and Missy at some point!
My favorite thing about this family is their love for God.
This video is found on Godtube and Willie shares how every believer needs to think and be ready at a moments notice for sharing their faith.
