What I'm listening to now.......

This album "Passion:Awakening" has some really amazing songs and I have enjoyed them so much. My favorite right now is "Awakening"
by Chris Tomlin. We all need the Lord to awake our souls and cause us to desire His will in our lives. The only way our souls will be awakened is with the power of God. I encourage all of you to listen and then pray that God will awaken your soul. enjoy.......

Commitment

I am going to be making some changes in my life.....little things. But sometimes those little changes are challenging. I have committed this year to start on that book that I have always wanted to write, and I have started, I am praying that the Lord will guide me in this endeavor. So God can guide me I am studying everyday and spending time in His word.
I really try to have a quiet time at home in my chair, but that does not always happen, so being my techno self, I have the Bible and some tools on my i-Phone and take advantage of that at some point during the day. The other things I am working on are learning some Spanish and memorizing the book of James. Not much. Go with me and I get through 2012.....what are you committed to this year?

Paranoia is rampant.....

You know how people always feel like someone is out to get them?  She wants my husband, he wants my job,  etc.....well, I am no different.  I know everyone wants my husband because he is so wonderful.  He takes perfect care of me.  He is retired and drives me everywhere ( I hate to drive) even back and forth to work EVERYDAY.  He does most of the house work...like I say he is great, so why wouldn't everyone want him?  I also have a great job, but I don't feel like everyone wants my job.  I just feel like there are people who want me to get out of my job.  There is one person always trying to find something wrong with the way I do my job, always criticizing and always on my back about every little thing.  There are days that I think I cannot walk thru the door one more time, but I do.
Now I know that my husband is not perfect, he is just a man.  He is a wonderful man and I love him dearly but that still does not make him perfect.  I have Jesus, and I share Jesus with others around me regularly.  Jesus is perfect.  Jesus can do so much more for people than my husband could ever do, but people still want him instead of Jesus.  Why do you suppose that is?  Jesus is the one and only way to get through this life and into heaven.  While my husband is a godly man and can do a lot of things, he cannot get me into heaven.  I need Jesus for that.   Having said that, as well as there is Jesus, there is also a spiritual enemy trying to do everything he can to keep me out of heaven.  He is always on my back , nipping at my heels, telling me that I will not make it to heaven, telling me that I am not good enough, not really worthy to be a child of God.  Some days I think I cannot face this enemy one more day and I let myself slip into a pity party and just go along with this enemy.  Then I look at those around me that are struggling and don't know Jesus and don't have a clue of the wonderful peace and comfort that is there for them.
Yep, I have a wonderful husband, but I also have Jesus.  I have a great job, I also have an enemy that nips at me constantly.  But, you know what?  If Jesus can deliver me from the firey darts of the spiritual enemy, then this earthly enemy can't really harm me.
Next time you feel those darts coming, cry out to Jesus, He is the Deliverer.  Just cry out to Jesus and let Him carry you through all these trials.  He can do it and best of all He will do it for you.
Have a great day........Let me hear from you if you are enjoying the blogs
