It seems as though the longer I walk with God the less I really know.  I tend to question things more.  For instance: Which denomination is right? We all believe that it is OUR denomination that is right! And to be honest with you, we all have good reasons why we believe what we believe.  There are scriptures to back up our beliefs or we think that it’s backed up by scripture. It might be taken out of context.  But I think that all of us are a little bit wrong and all of us are a little bit right.

I have moved around quite a bit and have met different people from all walks of life. All different kind of christians, not just the ones who have the beliefs of my denomination.  At first, I would judge them and think they had it all wrong. But now I realize we all have versions of the truth. I’ve learned so much! When I come across a belief that I don’t understand, instead of judging it, I go to the Lord and ask Him where He is at in this. I also go to the Bible to see what it says about it. (I like to ask God this question with pen in hand and wait on Him to speak something to me). My eyes have be opened to so many things!

We usually just accept traditions that have been handed down to us from the denominations we are in. A lot of the things that are passed down are religious and man made. I’ve started asking myself, “Is this man made or is this God made.” I don’t just accept things anymore. I go to God and ask Him, “Where are You in this, would You please speak to me and show me what is going on here?”. I want to hear from God Himself. And the Bible says, His sheep hear His voice. We are His sheep, we just need to take the time to listen.

Our relationship with Jesus is not a method, it is a relationship. A friend of mine gave me a hand out the other day and I want to share with you some of these things:

~It is easier to pass on principles than to live in intimacy with the Father.

~Instead of accepting a methodology or starting a new methodology, it’s more important to ask ourselves how we are doing in our relationship with Jesus and others.

As Christians, we need to learn from one another and work together. Not work against each other.  We need to desire a relationship with Jesus, not a religion. Jesus came and set the example for us. He came to serve, to heal, to set free, and to love. He was all about the relationship with the Father and with others. Do we really live that way?

Payer: Jesus, help me to see how You lived in relationship with the Father, and how you desire for us to live in that same relationship with you and others. (This prayer came from my friend’s hand out).

For years I would pray and ask God what my calling was. I would see what other women were accomplishing and compare myself to them. Thinking back, I know my motives were wrong. I wanted to be somebody important. I wanted the recognition of others and for them to tell me how good I did at something, a pat on the back. I thought that would make me feel important.

How wrong I was! What I have discovered, after making many mistakes, is that my true calling in life is to love God with all my heart and have a relationship with Him. Not only that, but to be the wife my husband needs and the mom my children need. But how in the world was that going to get me where I wanted, how was I going to be successful?

One day as I was washing dishes and praying about the things I had on my heart for women, I sensed the Lord say, “You need to live what you teach.” That hit me like a ton of bricks! I wanted to teach all these women certain things, but if I wasn’t being the wife my husband needs or the mom my kids need, what good would it do? I wanted to be more of a blessing to them than to my own famiy (I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing).

So I layed down certain desires I had and focused on being a wife and mommy. You know what? That has brought me joy that’s unbelieveable and TRUE success! And because I have been faithful with that, God has also blessed me with the ability to start my own business that will be a blessing to women (The Happy Home Executive). God knew that if I didn’t put my family first before I started a business, then it would never happen. That would not have been a good thing for my family.

This morning as I was reading my Bible, Proverbs 12:11 stood out to me-”He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows worthless pusuits is lacking in sense and is without understanding.” (That’s the Amplified version). I had to till my own land (take care of my family). Pursuing those other things first would have been worthless. My desire to help women wasn’t wrong, but I had to make sure my priorities were right.

Am I perfect and keep my priorities straight 100% of the time? No way. But thank God that he’s a God of hearts. He looks to our hearts and not what He sees on the outside. He knows my true heart. And when I mess up, He’s right there to pick me up.

This is something I read today and it really struck me.  I want to share it with you.

True freedom often looks like bondage at first, and bondage usually looks like freedom at first.  There can be no victory without a battle, and the greater the battle, the greater the victory.  Darkness comes and deceives us into self-seeking.  Once the false wisdom can make us self-centered, our fall into bondage is sure.  The deceiver always tries to get you to seek yourself.  The call to fulfill our destiny is not for our sake, but for the Lord’s sake and for the sake of His people.  Every trial is for the purpose of changing us into His image.  Don’t waste a single trial, but seize them as opportunities that they are.  If your path is more difficult, it is because of your high calling. 

For example: Wives, submit to your husbands.  That can seem like bondage at first.  I use to think it was bondage.  I would rebel, I was not going to do this and my husband was not going to walk over me.  I had alot to learn.  When I started to obey God in this and really trust Him, my life changed drastically.  I started to honor my husband when he didn’t deserve it, respect who he was and stopped arguing with him so much.  Let me tell you,God just blessed my socks off. I didn’t do this 100% of the time, but God blessed my efforts and it became easier and easier.  I have a different and wonderful husband that loves me to pieces.  That my friends, is freedom.  I had to learn to trust God and believe what His Word said. 

Giving up things we love that aren’t good for us can seem like bondage.  But there is always freedom in the end.  I have a friend who has recently pursued a relationship with a man (other than her husband), because she says she wants to be free again.  This seems like freedom to her.  But, this will only bring bondage in the long run.  This is why we have to be so careful not to let satan come in there and deceive us.  It starts with a thought that we can dwell on and then we can eventually crave that thought.  The Bible says to take every thought captive.  I have had to take the same thought captive many times in a day, it’s not always easy.   I like the scripture that says, ”Don’t grow weary in well doing”.   If you mess up, that’s ok.  God is there to pick us right back up.  He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Just as great houses need different craftsmen, so does God’s house.  Only when they work together can they build God’s house.

If I make my homeschool look like yours, I am doing a disservice to my children and to the Kingdom of God.  God has created my children for a specific purpose and I need to be open to the Holy Spirit to lead me into that purpose.  I had to look at all the plans I had for my children and lay them down before the Lord.  Some of my plans came from what others were doing because it looked good or I felt that I would be leaving holes if I didn’t do it.  I would pray about these plans, but go ahead and do these before I had an answer because it was such a good curriculum.  I have a tendency to get to excited about things and jump into it before God says to and then I get myself in a mess. :)  I really wasn’t letting the Holy Spirit lead me, but let fear and what others were doing influence me.  The kids and I would wind up stressed and burned out.  Satan is very good at distracting us from the purpose we are created to do, if we allow him to do it. 

God has been showing me that there are alot of good things out there, but what is the “best” for my family?  Good can be the greatest enemy of the best.  If I do what looks different from you, that’s ok.  We can all get ideas from each other, but we have to be careful not to compare ourselves with others.  Making plans and having structure is a good thing, but letting those plans rule us is when burnout and frustration comes in.  I lay my plans before the Lord daily and ask for guidance.  I have met alot of homeschoolers who have been stressed and burned out.  Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light.  When we are stressed with homeschooling that’s when it might be a good time to reevaluate what we’re doing. 

As homeschoolers, we need to encourage each other and love each other.  I do not need to make you feel that my way is the way, but to encourage you to find the way God has for you.  There have been homeschoolers I’ve met that made me feel I wasn’t doing things right.  I even had to stop reading some homeschool books because I would wind up frustrated.  My family didn’t look like their family, my husband wasn’t the kind of husband or father that theirs was.  I found myself striving to be like these families (there are alot of homeschool books out there where the families look the same) and trying to make my husband look like their husbands :).  That did not work, it back fired on me. 

God told me to lay down my curriculum and my plans for a year, to enjoy my family again and let Him lead me day by day.  That was so scary.  But I did it and am so glad I did.  One of my sons struggles with dyslexia and tracking problems.  But the year I did that, his reading ability grew.  I couldn’t believe it!  I wasn’t even teaching him.  God is the real teacher, I’m just the facilitator. I had been so worried about pumping all that information into their head that I wasn’t seeing who they were.  My son loves to read now and it’s only God’s doing and my obedience.  My other son loves to create things.  I now give him time to do these things.  I truly know my children and their hearts.  If I lose their hearts, what good is any of this? 

I now pray before I read books.  I want to know if this is a book I should be reading.  Learning how to read books with a shopping cart approach has been key for me.  I take things out of it that’s good for me and my family and leave the rest. 

God brought me back to why He called me to homeschooled in the first place.  And that is for my children to have a strong relationship with God and to have a love of learning.  When they love to learn they can learn anything.  I lost my way for a bit, but God brought me back.  Homeschooling is a journey.  I thought it was for the children, but I now know God called me to do this for me as well.  I’ve learned and grown so much!

This morning as I was quoting some scriptures out loud the Lord put new revelation in my heart about one particular scripture.  It is Psalm 37:4- I delight myself in the Lord and He gives me the desires of my heart. 

When we delight ourselves in the Lord and spend time with Him our true desires will rise up out of us.   God put those desires in us from the beginning!  When we line ourselves up with Him and seek after Him we will know our true desires.  Jesus came that we might have life and enjoy life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10).  Don’t be afraid to believe that!  Don’t be afraid to dream and desire things, God wants you to have those things.  He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).  When we are pursuing a relationship with Him, our desires will line up with what He needs accomplished in this earth.  Our hearts desire will lead us to that because He put it in us to start with.  Start believing for that desire to come to pass, start speaking it.  I was always afraid to chase after my dreams or desires because I thought I was being selfish.  But I now realize my desires can’t be selfish when I delight myself in the Lord.  My desires used to be selfish.  But now I truly want to do things that will build God’s Kingdom up, I want to see things through His eyes, I want to see people as He sees them, I want to love people as He loves them.  That’s what happens when you delight yourself in Him.  You see things the way He sees them and you want to accomplish what He needs accomplished.  He has put talents and desires in you so you will use them, He doesn’t want to see them go to waste.  God has big things He wants to accomplish and that requires big dreams.  Start walking in your giftings and talents and desires.  If it seems impossible just start quoting Psalm 37:4 outloud and believe it.  Don’t pray the problem, pray the answer.  Don’t be moved by what you see, but by faith (the unseen).  If you have mountains blocking the way tell them to move because God has things for you to accomplish and they’re all for His glory.  You will be blessed to be a blessing.  People will be drawn to you because they will want what you have (the abundant joy filled life) and you will bring people into God’s Kingdom because of it.  God has all the resources set aside for you to accomplish what you desire to do.  You just have to belive and you will receive them.  How long must you keep speaking and believing it?  Until you receive it.  You see, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17). When we speak it outloud we hear it and hearing it will produce faith. And when we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can say to the mountain  move celcom caller ringtones cheap mobile ringtones virgin cingular free music real ringtones free cingular wireless ringtones free metro pcs phone ringtones free us cellular audiovox ringtones ringtones for nokia phone country music ringtones download free cingular ringtones cellular download free phone ringtones free verizon real music ringtones disney free mobile ringtones free boost ringtones ringtones for nextel phone cheap mobile ringtones virgin free real ringtones make your own ringtones virgin mobile ringtones phone ringtones verizon free download mobile ringtones and it will be moved and nothing will be impossible to you (Matthew 17:20).  We are so use to speaking negative things that that is  what we believe.  Again I will say that your talents and giftings are for God’s will to be accomplished in this earth.  He needs for us to seek these out.  We tie up God’s hands when we don’t.  Doing this is not selfish, it’s selfish when we don’t.  Satan wants you to be scared to seek out your desire because he knows what will happen when you do chase after it.

This week I have been reminded about what love really is.  My church is doing a study of walking in love.  I thought I would pass on to you what I’ve learned and what the Lord has shown me.  So, what is love?

1.Love is a command. (1 John 4:21) When we love it is an act of obedience.  God told us we must love.  If it is a command we are sinning when we don’t love.

2.Love is a choice.  Love is not about gooshy feelings all the time.  Yes, love can produce feelings but we can’t always rely on our feelings.  We need to choose to love others inspite of our feelings.

3.Love is a conduct. This means love is shown in action. 1 John 3:18 If we talk the talk but don’t walk the walk we aren’t living a life of love.  We need to put action to our words and practice loving others.

4.Love is a commitment. Love keeps on when things get tough. Mature love is tested love.  Don’t be quick to give up on someone. God doesn’t give up on us!

1 Corinthians 13 teaches us how to love.  Love is action. It is revealed in the way we talk to people, how we treat them, and what we do or don’t do for them.  Love is patient (longsuffering with the faults and weakness of others).  Instead of believing the worst, love always believes the best of every person.  Love is not rude.  It takes time to say “please” and “thank you”.  Love takes time to really listen when people are talking.  Love builds people up, it does not criticize or find fault.  Love covers a multitude of sin (it doesn’t expose people’s faults).  Don’t rush to tell every negative thing we hear or know about someone (don’t be a tale bearer).  Love treats people the way we want to be treated.  Would you want someone to spread rumors about you or would you want them to cover your faults and pray for you (there are sins that are serious and will need to be dealt with at times). 

Seek love and walk in it.  God is love, and when we walk in love we show Him to those we come in contact with.  Let everything you do be in love.  The Holy Spirit is our help mate and wants to help us with this.  We can’t do it on our own.  Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.  He will! He was sent to us to be our help mate.  We need all the help we can get, because there are people in our lives that rub us the wrong way on a daily basis. 

One thing God reminded me of today is that I can trust Him.  There are people in my life that really hurt me.  But when I continue to do the right thing (don’t get angry easily, see them through God’s eyes, pray for them, say something nice about them), He will take care of me and bless me.  I have to trust Him! 

I also realized that I’m not showing love through action as much as I should.  It’s easy to get so wrapped up in my own life that I forget to do things for others.  I’m going to have a goal to bless someone each week.  I’m also going to have my boys do this as well.  It will help keep us accountable and teach them to love.  We will write it down on our calander so that it will get done.  A great challenge would be to bless someone that’s not so lovely.

To sum it up: Ask the Holy Spirit who He wants you to bless today, ask Him to give you the strength, time and energy to do it.  Schedule it in to your life, otherwise it might not get done.  Is there someone in your life that rubs you the wrong way?  Bless them in someway today (that’s a hard one isn’t it?)  God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.  God’s ways just do not make sense sometimes.  But I know I from past experinces it’s worth it. 

Make loving others a habit.  We can work on this together.  God says, “The greatest of these is love and if we don’t have love then nothing else matters.”

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”  Eph 6:17

God has given us an offensive weapon to use, the Word of God.  It will only be effective if we use it.  Let’s say an enemy comes charging toward you with his sword drawn.  Are you going to stand there with your sword in your hand and not use it?  I don’t think so!  You are going to fight back with everything you have.  So how do you use the  weapon God gave you?  Here are a few verses to help you understand:

“And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword.”  Isaiah 49:2

“I have slain them by the words of My mouth.”  Hosea 6:5

“The Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword.”  Eph. 5:26

“Let him who has my Word  speak My word in truth.” Jeremiah 23:28

“Is not My word like fire? says the Lord, and like a hammer which shatters a rock?” Jeremiah 23:29

From these scriptures you can see that our offensive weapon is the Word of God coming out of our mouth.  When we speak, it becomes a two-edged sword that defeats the enemy.   You cannot defeat Goliath with your mouth shut.  Open your mouth to speak forth the Word of God.  You have an enemy, Satan, that wants to destroy you.  He will put negative thoughts and lies in your head, he will tell you that you are worthless and no good.  You have two choices: 1.You can believe all these thing he tells you and agree with him. How do you agree with him?  You start to believe these lies about yourself and start saying them outloud.  Example: “I will never be able to do that”, ”I just don’t fit in with anybody”, “How could anybody love me”, “I’m a failure”, “I’m not pretty enough”,”God won’t forgive me, I’ve done too many bad things”,and on and on and on.  2. You can believe what God’s Word says about you and speak that outloud.   All over the Bible are Scriptures that tell us how much God loves us and what he thinks about us. Each time a thought comes to your mind that does not agree with God’s Word, confess the truth of God’s Word out loud. Dig into God’s Word and get to know His heart. Speak from your mouth what the Word says, not what you feel.  You cannot defeat the enemy unless you use the two-edged sword of God’s Word.   

We are blessed in the “doing” not just the” knowing.”  God is pleased when we agree with His Word.  Here’s something I read the other day that blessed me:

In Psalm 45:1 David said that his tongue was as the pen of a ready writer.  And in Proverbs 3:1,3 the Word states that we should not forget God’s laws but write them on the tablet of our heart.  We see from these two Scriptures that our heart is the tablet and our tongue is the pen.  When we confess God’s Word out loud, we write it on our own heart and it becomes more firmly established both in our heart and in the earth.  I know my husband loves me, but each time I hear him say, “I love you”, it is more firmly established in my life.

That is so awesome!  When we speak the Word out loud it is a weapon that will defeat the enemy and it will also become firmly established in our hearts! 

Prayer:  Thank you Lord for your Word and that it is alive and powerful.  Help me to learn your Word and to use it.  Help me to speak it boldly and faithfully.  I welcome your Word into my heart, Lord.  Your Word says that we should not forget Your laws but write them on the tablet of our heart.  Help me to be faithful and consistent spending time in Your Word.  Thank you that Your Word is sharper than any two-edged sword and that it is living and active. Firmly establish your word in my heart, Lord.  In Jesus Name, Amen!

Forgiveness is something we all have to deal with.  I know I do.  There are people in our life that have hurt us.  It could be your spouse, ex-spouse, parents, friends, co-worker, you name it.  There are some that will hurt you on a continual basis.  I also have these people in my life.  But God says to forgive them.  What? But God, do you know what they’ve done to me?  Do you know how bad they’ve hurt me?  I don’t want to forgive them.  These are a few things I tell God at times, He knows my heart anyways so I might as well tell Him.  After I blow off steam and get things off my chest I’m ready to listen to what God’s telling me.  Unforgiveness is one of the enemy’s primary tools in trapping us.  A root of bitterness can eventually poison one’s spirit like cancer invading the body.  In Hebrews 12:15, the Lord says to be careful to not let a root of bitterness take root and destroy you.  Some of our hurts are deep.  It’s impossible to forgive these if you look to yourself to make it happen.  We must first understand what forgiveness is and what it’s not if we are going to break through to freedom.  Forgiveness is not denying the hurt and pain or saying that whatever was done was ok.  If you do this you will not experience true forgiveness.  Tell God how you feel. 

God expects us to have healthy boundaries and does not expect us to re-expose ourselves to abuse.  Sometimes a relationship will be reunited and sometimes it won’t.  There are people who have hurt me deeply that are still in my life.  I have forgiven them but I have to be careful not to put myself in a position to be hurt or disappointed again.  I have to adjust my expectations of them.  

Forgiveness is not a feeling, like I use to believe.  It’s a choice.  Sometimes a daily choice.  We have to be willing to trust the Lord with this and surrender it to Him.  Alot of times it’s easier to rehearse what happened, so we can justify ourselves.  You will give the devil a foothold if you do this and that’s where a root of bitterness comes in.  It’s ok to be angry, but the Bible says don’t sin in your anger.  Anger is part of forgiveness.  If you’ve been violated, it hurts and it’s not right!  Be honest about your pain and anger so you can work through to forgiveness.  Own your emotions in order to release them to God, for you cannot let go of something you have never embraced.  You need to trust God in order to release these feelings to Him.  There can be no forgiveness where there is no faith.  Faith trusts that God will turn to good whatever Satan meant for evil. 

God has released me from all my sins and He expects me to do the same for others.  Matthew 6:14 says, “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” and Mark 11:25-26 says, “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins”.  Uh-Oh!  I know I’m not perfect and I’m going to make mistakes.  I want to be forgiven.  If God can forgive me, then I know through Him I can forgive others. 

I want to share with you a definition that I once read on the idea of forgiveness.  It’s a great visual.  If you can imagine an emotional pit where we hold our offenders who hurt us, and then every time they try to crawl out of the pit, we whip them back down.  The only problem is that we have to stay at the mouth of the pit in case they try to go free.  The cruel trick of Satan is that WE are the ones who are not free to go on with our lives.  It’s controling us.  So “lay down the whip”.  Forgiveness means laying down our whip and allowing God to be the judge and jury.  The Lord says that vengeance is His and that He alone will take care of the wrong (Romans 12:19).  Although we may say, “Yes! You get ‘em God!”, it’s better to cry out for mercy for the other person.  Pray for them and then instead of speaking negatively about them, speak blessings on them.  I still need to work on this at times.  In doing this, we bless not only them, but ourselves too.  Release them and you’ll experience wonderful freedom and God will show Himself strong as your Vindicator. 

One other thing.  If we have all that bitterness in us, it hinders us from receiving God’s love.  I’m at the point that all I want is God and in order to have that I have to lay everything down (die to my flesh, pick up my cross and carry it).  I don’t want anything separating me from God!  Our relationship with God is the most important thing.  If we don’t have that, nothing else matters.

If you’re anything like me you might have a hard time receiving God’s forgiveness.  When I use to look back over my life I would always think, “How could God forgive me?”.  I had made some terrible mistakes!  I was raised in a good church that taught me about God, Jesus, the Holy Spitit, faith and so much more.  If I learned all this, then why did I keep making the same mistakes over and over again?  I’ll tell you why.  I had closed doors in my life that were from past hurts.  I shoved the feelings down and tried not to think about those things.  It hurt too much!  Alot of the decisions I made were a reflection of my past hurts and how I viewed myself, which was not very good.  I was rooted in shame.  Shame makes you feel bad about who you are and it affects you’re entire life.  I had no confidence.  I was a peace maker and let everybody walk over me.  I guess you could say I was a door-mat.  Having been sexually abused can do this to you.  Something else I learned was that our understanding of God and how we relate to Him is affected by our relationships with our father. My father always felt guilty for something. This is because the church he was raised in made him feel like he was going to hell for everything. So, he would put guilt on me. He didn’t mean to, he loved me very much, this is just all he knew. (By the way, we now have a good relationship. God has brought healing there). Because these things had happened in my life I was always eaten up with shame and guilt for things. I knew Jesus loved me, but I just couldn’t get past these feelings. Satan loves to get in there and tell you how unworthy you are and to remind us of our past and failures. And the worst part is, I would agree with what he said about me! After years of living in turmoil, I knew something had to change! Change can hurt sometimes, but for me the change of staying the same outweighed the pain of changing.  I knew I had to get rid of the shame and guilt so I could receive Jesus’ love and forgiveness. How did I do that? I had to dig into God’s word and learn about His love and grace over and over again! What did God say to me during those times? He told me, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” 2 Corinthians 5:17, “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten-the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm-my great army that I sent among you. You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed” Joel 2:25-26, “Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs” Isaiah 61:7-8, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1.  God takes away our shame and replaces it with joy! God did not want me to live with shame anymore! I had to start saying the things that God said about me. I would find scriptures about God’s love toward me and say those things over and over again out loud. Not only did I have to say them, I had to believe in my heart that they were true! My life has changed since I started doing this. I no longer have to walk around with guilt and shame because I know how God feels about me!

If you have had a problem in this area, I want you to know that God loves you and He forgives you! You don’t have to pay for your sin, Jesus did it for you!  All you have to do is receive His forgiveness and He takes care of the rest.  God knew every time we would fail Him, deny Him, desert Him, choose someone over Him or make a choice that would break his heart and yet He still adopted us into His kingdom because He loves us!
