Momentous Monday!!

I was feeling pretty drough today with missing the ladies Monday study that I attend at my Church with us going through the stomach bug blues at our home, but greatful to keep it home rather than spreading the plague ;)
I woke up mad at the world- my Husband, my kids,and My God - I was just mad and couldnt figure out what was wrong with my thinking, it was unrational and unecessary. I remember thinking, " okay Ronnie this is rediculous, you really need to settle down and go to God with this stinkn thinkn". So did I? Nope- I continued through the day feeling resentment and out of my mind mad. At this point into this blog your probably thinking to yourself- okay! and she is calling this a momentous Monday? a "Spiritual reflection of a memory that I want to share with the "world"", or better yet," a nugget of truth from God's word"- ha!! Sorry- its a stinkn thinkn matter at this point into it, but it gets better... I promise!!

Okay so as I was continuing through the day, it was about 10 and I started reading the book of mormon because the LDS missionaries dropped by and asked me to pray weither Joseph Smith were true in his prophecies or not and I told them that I am grounded in the Word of God and that I will not remove my feet from God's word- so if this Book of Mormon contradicts God's word than we are done conversing. So to say the least, I need to hand them their book and let them move on unless they are willing to hear about the real Jesus.

On Christ the solid ground I stand all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.

Okay so I decided to pray that the Holy Spirit would lead me through the study that I was doing and holding the B.O.M( Book of Mormon) up to the light of the scriptures and God showed me a really cool verse from the book of John that really summed up . John 8:30- 32

30: "As He spoke these words,many believed in Him. 31:Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, If you abide in My word you are My disciples indeed.32: And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." this last verse was the one that the missionaries for another testament of Jesus Christ wanted me to pray regarding wether Joseph Smith were true and wether or not I should follow his teachings. :O Please dont get me wrong I am NOT anti-mormon- I am just anti any literature that goes against the word of God, and if God's word says that I only need to abide in His word which is the Holy Bible( the book that has changed me for every good and meaningful thing ever ) that I have been reading for almost 9 years now than there is just no other option for me. (( period))

Okay so with this I know that what I believe to be true about God and Him being who He say He is, the Alpha and Omega the Beginning and The End!! The Author and Perfector of my faith. (Just to name a few) and it wasnt because I prayed and asked God weither or not He was who He said He was - it was because I asked Him to show Himself to me.. and He did!! He is all I need! I know I am going on and on and I really appreciate your time if you have read this far into what it is that I wanted to share- it means alot to know that even one person would take the time to "listen" to little me. Okay so where I wanted to go with this was a little prayer I made to today asking God to show love to me through my husband in a way that I would know it was from HIM!!! I hadnt talked to my husband all day- and we usually talk a good 3 times while he is at work, so this just made me realize that I had really hurt him with my words this morning :(. So he comes home and he has this bag with a wrapped gift in it. I open it up and it is a beautiful butterfly!! A symbol to me that I am a new creation. Which brings me to this verse: 2Cor. 5:17- " If anyone is in Christ he( she) is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new." A settle reminder that I am in Christ~~ no matter how stinky my heart can be at times- I belong to Him! I am sorry Lord that I have disappointed You and others that You have placed in my life- thank You for such a unconditional love that You have for all !!

I love how God uses my husband in ways that not even he knows about!! He is such a good God a God who loves you right where you are, no matter how many times you have blown it.
If you are reading this and you are not a Christian and you would like to beleive on Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior than I would like to invite you to do so now, this will be the one thing that will make the most impact on both your life here on earth and your eternal life in Heaven. the scriptures say: "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
tell the Lord that you believe in Him and you will be saved <3 read your Bible or go to a Bible Believing Church and get aquanted with the people! and remeber
Jesus loves you!!!

Theres a Cry in My Heart!!

I have this song pressing on my heart this morning and with the meaning behind it I thought it would be a great opportunity to be Spiritually Lead through this blog to what it is that God would have me say in these regards: " What is it that You want me to be persuing for Your Kingdom"
Before I continue on I would like to quote from this song:

"Cry In My Heart"
By Starfield
"There's a cry in my heart
For Your glory to fall
For Your presence to fill up my senses
There's a yearning again
A thirst for discipline
A hunger for things that are deeper
Could You take me beyond?
Could You carry me through?
If I open my heart?
Could I go there with You?
(For I've been here before
But I know there's still more
Oh, Lord, I need to know You)

For what do I have
If I don't have You, Jesus?
What in this life
Could mean any more?
You are my rock
You are my glory
You are the lifter
Of my head
Lifter of this head "


Through this song and what is is asking- What do I have if I dont have You Jesus?


What in this life could mean anything? Life without Jesus is meaningless, hopeless, all the opposites of what Jesus has to offer me. Not to say that I have days feeling empty, lonely and discontented in my spirit. But He is the lifter of my head and I ALWAYS have Him to turn to.


(to sum it up I cant do anything without Him- If He is not the rock of my life then where does my strength come from?) If I am tired in my flesh with living day to day knowing that I have the power of my savior to move mountains; yet not His love then I have nothing. 1 Cor.13:2


I think I can convince people to open their eyes to see what they believe is a lie- that they are following after a false Jesus, and yet I dont have the compassion as Jesus did for the lost. I am in the wrong place- I need to have a genuine heart to lead these people in love to the truth- just as Jesus fed and clothed and even healed, I need to present the gospel in a loving way not a way that condemns them to hell for not believing the Bible which is the roots of my being.Ephesians 3:17-19 How can I show them? In some way remove the scales from their eyes and the immediate answer is: Leviticus 10:3 " 'Among those who approach me
I will show myself holy;
in the sight of all the people
I will be honored.' "
Aaron remained silent. It is not up to me to get the point across- to save the lost and win them over to the Lord- it is by His power and my willingness to be used by Him- "HE WILL SHOW HIMSELF" ... Haleluja!!! Thank You Jesus!!

I wish not to share what this prayer is in complete details refering to - just for the sake of keeping the peace! But I dont want to waste time, "casting my pearls before swine" If God cant get through to them and open their eyes- "remove the scales of deception" then I need to move on- and realize that seeds where planted and that God loves people and what He started He will complete.- It doesnt have to be through me.
God, theres a cry in my heart for Your Mercy to fall, For you presence to fill up my senses..."

What is the cry in your heart? You can cry out to God, He has great plans to prosper you in all you do , pray to Him and He will hear you and He will be found by you !!Jer.2911-14
