Is God calling you?

Have you ever felt you just have to do something? For days I have had something laying heavy on my heart. It feels as if God wants me to step up and do something. But, making that step could change a whole lot. Especially  my time. Questions start racing through my head. I knew before the questions started I needed to ask God's will. Most of the time feelings like that always work out to be His will. I must make sure before I take one step.


Here's how to know if God's calling you to do something:

1. If you have a deep feeling God's calling you to do something. 
2. If it's something the Lord would probably approve of.
3. After much prayer things just fall into place. This means he is making a way
for His will.

This don't mean make them happen or force them to.

When the Israelites didn't see a way across the red sea. Since it was God's will he had it all planned out. A way was made right before their eyes.He parted the read seas for them to go across. Exodus 14


We aren't to leap and ask God to bless our decision. That's very unwise. We are to find out what God wants first.


May God Bless you on your journey.

Honoring Mom

HonoringMom_slide1x_365_y_273



My momma is a special person in my life. You see my grandparents raised me pretty much from birth. But, I still stay in contact with mom. Many times I've wept over our disagreements. But, I still love her dearly. Every morning I look forward to hearing from her by email. My tree caught my eye this morning and I got to thinking about the time she pulled out a container of all her Christmas ornaments. Piece by piece she showed me each one I made when I was little. She saved them to decorate with each year. Mom has shown me how to cherish sweet memories and all those around me.


Exodus 20:12
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.


So today I want to honor my mom. and Say.....
