Follow The Lord

It has been some time since I have been led to post on my blog. I apologize for not posting sooner. A lot has been going on and I have been letting other things take precedence over my blog posting. But I felt led to post this wee AM hours of the morning so here I am posting.

It rained earlier and was about 45 degrees. Right now it is freezing rain and sleet that is falling as the temperatures have dropped into the lower 30's degrees. it is supposed to turn to snow. This is Kentucky, where in the course of a days span the weather can change so suddenly it will run from one condition of the weather end to the other in extremes. The old saying is that if you do not like the weather in Kentucky hang around and it will change in a few minutes. During my lifetime in Kentucky I have noticed this a lot and it is true. Our weather changes quickly and abruptly. In part it is due to where Kentucky is geographically located. It is part South, part North, Part East, and part West. All the different climates seem to meet here in Kentucky.

I have always been fascinated by how the Lord works in such mysterious ways that the weather He makes to change from one moment being sunny and warm and then a few hours later the temperatures drop and it sleets and snows. I am thankful that God is in control of the weather and all things. He knows what He is doing and there is a purpose in everything He does and says. I am thankful for this. we may not always see the purpose that the Lord has in what He does, says, or makes to be, but it is not for us to know unless He chooses to reveal it unto us.

All things happen in this life, we live, for a reason. As it says in the holy Bible, God's Word, there is a season for everything. Everything under the sun there is a purpose for and a season for.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 1) To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3) A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4) A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5) A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6) A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7) A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8) A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

The Lord teaches us in and through His Word and Holy Spirit. There is much wisdom to earn and live by within the pages of the Holy Bible. The problem is that not many people are wise enough to truly grasp, retain, hold dear to one's heart and soul, and live by what the Bible tells us. We could all do with a little more of adhering to what the Lord instructs us to do and to live how He instructs us to live within the pages of His Word, the Holy Bible.

II Timothy 3:14-17 14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I will leave you with these words, follow that which is good, that which is pure, and that which is true. Follow God/ Jesus Christ/ Father Creator. He will never lead you astray.

Warriors For Christ Prayer Request

Dear Brother and Sisters,

We have some very important ministry prayer needs, and we ask you to join us in asking Him to supply our them– this is His ministry!

• We need to replace the desk top computer that is used for the “Warriors for Christ Online” –ministry. This includes our WFC Website, the New WFC Facebook, and Prayer Circle etc. The computer that we are using is now about 6+ years old and is going slower and slower. We are concerned about it crashing.
• We really need a volunteer to help us do our accounting. We need someone with experience in QuickBooks so that we will be able to apply for grants to fund future needs such as publishing, finishing our headquarters, recruiting and training Regional Directors etc.
• Please also pray for Jan’s health and that the Lord will bring more office help; we are so blessed that there is so much to do that it is hard to keep up with it all.

Thanks for ALL your support of Warriors for Christ’s Vision of Native Discipleship.

Getting Too Comfortable

It has been a beautiful day today. The Lord blest us with a wonderful service this morning. The Church I attend is starting a Revival tomorrow night and the kiddo's and I are so looking forward to this. The whole Church is excited. We have been praying for a Revival for quite some time and the service this morning just let us know that it is time to start a revival in the community. I am praying for people to attend so the Word of the Lord can go out to them and bring them in to repentance and to renew and refresh/revive those that need it. God is awesome.

I went on a cleaning frenzy yesterday. I know the kiddo's will be surprised when they get back from the visit they had with their Dad this weekend. They told me I needed to rest and take a break while they were gone but I got more hyper than usual and one thing led to another. The good thing is that the house is nice and clean.

It was one of those times when you see your home as someone else would see it. We live in our home everyday so we get comfortable with how it becomes over time, the clutter, the dust, and so on. Sometimes it is a good thing to stop, step back and take a look at it, to see it with new eyes, and see what needs to be done to improve it.

This is sort of like our walk with God. Sometimes we need to stop and examine our self and see just where we are lacking in serving the Lord. Sometimes we get too comfortable in where we are, so we don't try to do anymore than we are already doing for the Lord. That is a fault within us. The Lord gave His all for us, so we should give our all for the Lord. If God calls us to do something in His service then we should do it, even if it brings us out of our comfort zone. We may not always want to do what the Lord leads us to do but we should, for a certainty, do what He is bidding us to do. We are in His service. We are His children. He will not ask more of us than we can do. If He leads us to it, He will provide the means to get us through it.

I thank God for being. Every breath that we breathe we should be praising the Lord for it. For it is He Who gives us the breath we breathe. If it were not for Him we would be nothing and we would have no hope. But with, in, through, and of Him we have hope. That hope is Jesus Christ. I thank God for all. God is awesome!!!

My Daughter's Blog

I wanted to post the link to my daughter, Elizabeth's, blog. Todays blog entry is amusing yet a little satirical as it is easy to see where the future could lead us to as far as robotics and technology goes. I found it a bit profound that my daughter, even though she meant her post in a non-serious manner, has some very interesting ways of looking at things. The link to her blog post is below. I hope you all enjoy reading it.

I am proud of my daughter. God has blest me in and with my children and I thank God for them.
Have an awesome rest of the week in the Lord.

Blessings,
Nancy
