Do not worry...

This message is for you:  I didn’t know what to write about today and then I thought of you.  I’m not sure exactly what you’ve been anxious over but God says, “Do not worry.”  You have been drained of your time and energy because of that situation.  You have to do what you’re going to do and let it go.  Everyday, you think about it, even if just for a moment.  You need to release it.  When I searched the scriptures for God’s Truth on worrying, His message was clear – “Do not worry.”

·         Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  Matthew 6:27
·         Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about  your body, what you will wear.  Matthew 6:25
·         Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Matthew 6:34
·         Do not worry beforehand about what to say.  Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, it is the Holy Spirit.   Mark 13:11

God doesn’t want us to worry about anything at all.  From the top of our head to the bottom of our feet, He is fortifying us.  We should not worry at all.  Worrying infers that we do not believe God is able to make everything alright.  Worry implies doubt – where there is doubt, faith is absent.  And my friends, when God is taking attendance, you do not want your faith to be absent.  Let go of that worry and remind yourself of the Almighty God you serve (before He has to remind you Himself).  : /

Now I Know My ABC's

Do you remember when you first learned your ABC's?  In order to memorize them, we sang songs, wrote them down, did picture associations, and drowned ourselves in the alphabets until we had it down.  We played with letter blocks.  Everywhere we turned, someone was trying to show us an alphabet.  Sound this word out.  What letter does "airplane" start with?  If you have young children right now, this is likely on today's agenda. Why do we do this?  Because we want to learn it, know it, and have it be a part of our natural understanding.  I've been a Christian a long time, but I realize that I have to approach the word of God with the same diligence as I did when learning the alphabets.  I have to study it, say it out loud, memorize it, hear it back, make word associations, revere it and spend time in it.  Why?  Because I want to learn it, know it and have it be a part of my natural understanding - how I process the world I live in. ...

Understanding the buyer

When I found this scripture in the Bible, I started laughing so hard.   It was there, waiting on me to become a professional real estate agent, so I would actually understand it. “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer; then off he goes to boast about his purchase.” Proverbs 20:14 (NIV). “The buyer haggles over the price, saying, “It’s worthless,” then brags about getting a bargain!” (NLT). Hilarious.   All of my real estate agents know what I’m talking about.   We have buyers like this.   We have seen this first hand.   This morning I grabbed my Bible, looking for it’s truths to touch my life and help me along my day, and I found this.   It just goes to show that when people start saying that the Bible is outdated and doesn’t deal with the issues of today.   Or when they say they can’t get specifics, everything is generalities and we have to come up with our own understanding.   This is how God responds to that! ...

On Marriage and Family

A strong family is the backbone to a thriving society.   And I was shaped by a strong family.   My mother and father have been married for 38 years and counting and I grew up in the same home all of my life.   I consider my upbringing to have been very sheltered compared to many, but I never felt like I missed out on anything.    I have numerous happy memories and some sad ones too.   I've made my fair share of really bad decisions in life, but I ultimately feel equipped to be able to get through this thing called life.   Why is this important?   Well, the fabric and culture of our society is moving farther away from traditional family households.  We are less and less concerned about who is raising our children.   We are increasingly concerned about how we look physically, and not even on the health of our bodies (which might be okay) but just the shape of them.   We are increasingly sexifying our generation and the ones to c...
