MY GOD

My GOD is all powerful---

He not only creates the storm, he can stop it or make it rage...

He makes a rainbow during or after the rain for us to see and enjoy, but also as a promise,

He makes the sun shine and the moon to shine.....

He created man, and through the miracle of conception and birth can allow a mother's body to function just as it should while supporting the growing baby!

He can forgive and forget my sin----I struggle with forgiveness and forgetting!

This is the tip of the iceberg for God's power....explore and observe for your own enlightment!!

My GOD

My GOD is longsuffering.....

Do you ever repeat the same sins over and over....confess and repeat....

God is there, waiting and forgiving over and over....and waiting!!

My GOD

MY GOD IS FAITHFUL


“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. “
Jeremiah 29: 11-13

MY GOD IS LIFE....

"And that HE was buried and HE rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures"
I Corinthians 15:4

He came that we might have life -----and He died on the cross so I may have life through Him!! All that witnessed His life knew he was sinless (as evidenced over and over in the Word!)

This Ressurrection Day, may you realize He is no common god, but the ONLY one who can rise from death to give live!!

My GOD is ...Strength

When we often reach the end of our rope or the road, HE IS THERE.....to carry our burden or

to give us a new perspective or just enough inner strength to take

one.....more....step.....

Character

The Nature of Character
Abraham Lincoln was very concerned with character, but he was also aware of the importance of having a good reputation. He explained the difference this way: "Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."
Put another way, your reputation is what people think of you. Your character is what you actually are.
In a world preoccupied with image, it's easy to worry too much about our reputation and too little about our character. Building a reputation is largely a public-relations project; building character requires us to focus on our values and actions. Noble rhetoric and good intentions aren't enough.
What we're looking for is moral strength based on ethical principles. Character is revealed by actions, not words, especially when there's a gap between what we want to do and what we should do and when doing the right thing costs more than we want to pay.
Our character is revealed by how we deal with pressures and temptations. But it's also disclosed by everyday actions, including what we say and do when we think no one is looking and we won't get caught.
The way we treat people we think can't help or hurt us (like housekeepers, waiters, and secretaries), tells more about our character than how we treat people we think are important. People who are honest, kind, and fair only when there's something to gain shouldn't be confused with people of real character who demonstrate these qualities habitually, under all circumstances.

Character is not a fancy coat we put on for show. It's who we really are.



....(a little sidetrack from CHARACTER COUNTS.....and this is one of the reasons I homeschool my children---for them to have character and to THINK...)

MY GOD

My God is FORGIVENESS...

I mess up DAILY!!! But, God forgives me....


MY GOD IS LIFE......

He was my substitute on the cross when the penalty of my sin was paid for....
A common God or man could not have done that!!

MY GOD

My God is GRACE....

to take the next step in life or to see me through the darkest hour!!

He only gives me grace for my life---noone else's or their trials!!

MY GOD

My God is sovereign....He has a plan for me and my life.

One word to say what my God is: HOPE

Another one: FAITHFUL

Jesus said: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE, noone cometh unto the father but by ME. John 14:6

WHO IS GOD??

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR GOD?






Do you know the verses that you could share with someone to explain His Deity?



What is one thing (one word) God is to you?

Off and Running

WE are back full swing to "normal" life.

If you consider babysitting one day (which involved a trip to the mall for Allison to get sutures at Build a Bear,lunch out with Emma, a trip to the bead store, and Wal Mart, brunch out with friends, a pedicure , and dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse--and my next to youngest birthday--it is hard to imagine she is 18!!!! Oh, and by the way, this all took place Friday and Saturday!!
We were exhausted yesterday!!! And today, there was Chem class (after a long morning or mopping the kitchen and hall, and laundry , some cleaning, feeding the cat (stray), making a salad for lunch, getting dressed to go out, Sam's Club, Allstate and Publix, and home to finish up dinner. Wow, I am tired just writing it...oh yes, I watered the plants today and got in devotions and exercise!! Oh, and the family played Jeopardy together for prime time tonite!!

Tomorrow, we have piano at CCC, and a friend's sons' baseball game in the afternoon.(sans rain)

My Mother received about 30 cards from friends---what a blessing for her 80th birthday!!

The Lord is reminding me to look for His presence all the time...
