Butterfly Flutter-ISAIAH 40:31: January 2010

{The Blind Side}

Do not forget to turn off the music playlist.

This movie is so inspiring. For those of you out there that have never experience taking a child in your home and loving them as your very own. What a great opportunity!! The children in Haiti I think about a lot lately. Out in our community today I see children hurting because of broken homes with drugs and abuse. Also, with our church bus kids.

When we decided to do foster care we had friends and family tried to discourage us from the whole idea. I know people in our church today that are afraid of disappointed of the foster care system or private adoption. They do not have children in there home. The biggest fear everyone has is fear itself. Even from the day one we received the call to foster our boys I knew these would be the children that would be ours forever. From day one the two youngest would ask will this be our forever home. I would say we will pray about this and if it God's Will then YES that will happen for each of you. If God is calling you to adopt then listen to HIM and not only will you be a blessing to them, but they will be a blessing to you. Many days I sit and wonder what it would be like to have a bigger home, so we could take in many more children.

{Just a little bit of Love Decorations}

I asked my hubby this morning what he had planned for LOVE DAY. I can remember when we first got married before children when we still had many, many date nights. One year we took a trip to a near by city about hour drive we took an unplanned get away on valentine's week-end. We most likely got the last motel room in town. We have decided that those unplanned trips usually are the best times ever.

{Right on Time}

[Christian Life]

Well, have you ever had one of those week where you thought how much more can I handle. Who ever said the Christian life is just like living in a bed of roses. You will never be in the valley again. Life will be so grand and you will always feel like you are on a mountain top. No, all that is not accurate. I can tell you one thing for sure though MY LORD is with me no matter cirsumstances. He is there when I feel like I am in the lowest valley of my life and he is there when I have made it to the highest mountain top in my life.

LUKE 10:1-4

After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.

During our message at church Wednesday evening this was preach. We all that attend church actively have heard this over and over. These are the point he brought out and I found this message to be forth repeating.

Three points>>>>>

Concerning the Christian Life

1. Demanding-Much is required of us.

2. Difficult- Sometimes you just want to give up.

3. Dignity- Remember serving Jesus is the most rewarding thing you and I can do.

He made a commit that I really needed for the week. When that job is so hard and you just want to give up and quit. You hold that head up and you smile and you go on. It is hard not to let the fresh come in and take control. Not matter what though we need to be a Christian about it. Just remember you are in the work force(school, or just in the public) your life needs to be shining for Jesus at all times. I tell my children every morning before we head to school- watch your walk, your talk, your mind, your actions, your thinking and everything we do today needs to be pleasing to JESUS.

I felt is this was that helpful to me just maybe someone else out there may need a little reminder also.

..Latest addition to the Chicken Coop

We have a new rooster. Maybe someday my hubby when find the rooster he likes.

Well, he was picked up in a near by county Saturday night. Then on Sunday morning he decided his roost was just not high enough. He came out of the coop and as you can see he went for the roof of the coop. The boys named him REX-T. I really believe he is beginning to live up to his name.

(I'm a Winner)

I won the contest over on Wise Old Owl. I am excited about getting together with my friend to pick this item up.

I was thinking about this I am a winner daily. You know back when I was 12 years old I excepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. He then become my "ALL". Each and every day when we wake up we should be thankful for another day. Here I am another day to tell others about Jesus. At church on Sunday during the Sunday School lesson our teacher made a statement that I made sure I jointed it in my notes. "Do not be afriad to tell others about Christ or ashame". Do not be afraid to offend someone.
What if no one ever told you where would your life be today. Just look at it this way you are depriving that individuals of the most wonderful blessing of their life. JESUS

I John 4:20

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath not seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

I John 4:21

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

I look at it this way if we truly love God then we will tell others. We will let other know what Jesus is to my life. Do not be ashamed to mention his name He is worthy.
