Words sometimes aren't enough...

I was thinking this morning of what God has done in my life, and I began to just thank God for his provision and blessing over my life....Then I thought, sometimes words just aren't enough. It's like the love of a spouse, parent, child...words are just not enough to tell them how much you really love them!
When words aren't enough, you have to Show someone how much you love them. That's what the Father is after, not your words but your actions- Spending Time With Him. Being still in His presence, Worshipping Him, and Reading His word.....that's MORE than enough!

Telling someone how much you love them verses Showing them how much you love them is a big difference!

Thanks God for getting my attention when I get off track :)

Give me Faith

Today in LCA chapel we sang this song by Elevation Worship: "Give Me Faith..to trust what you say"....
What I have been learning about trust is that involves a lot of learning and leaning on God. Sometimes God is teaching you a lesson through the situation you are facing. But sometimes you have done all you can and the only thing that you can continue to do is pray---Well, that requires just Leaning on God and His presence. We won't understand everything, but that's the beauty of TRUST...it must extend past understanding. No comprehension is required, only complete Faith in God is required.

Trust Him Today, Even when you don't understand- that is Trust!!!

How Busy Are You?

-When we over-schedule ourselves in the belief that we can do everything, we stop being human and try to become godlike-not only impossible but also incredibly arrogant.  Most of us are living at a pace that is not only sustainable; it's also unbiblical.

-God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

-You have enough time to do everything God wants you to do.

-If the devil can't make us really bad, then he'll make us really busy.

-We must discern what God calls us to accomplish rather than mindlessly adding on everything presented to us.

-Make a "To Don't" list!
