The Shack

Gasping at God's great love...

x 1

This season i am reminded even more how much God dearly loves us and how He showed that great love through Jesus. It takes my breath away.  Luke 2 says it best...

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

This season is a great reminder that God is for us! That God demostrates His great love to "all people"! God's favor rests on us. God brings peace to all of us... we are not to be afraid of Him but instead in awe of His great love! I highly recommend the book, The Shack. It starts off with heart break but lessons learned are lifechanging. It is a great book to read this season and be reminded of the character of your creator.

It is begining to look alot like Christmas around here. Even my tree is proclaiming His greatness!

Why I am voting McCain/Palin

As most of you know I have chosen to live a God centered life. Out of God’s endless love for me and my love for Him I make decisions that would bring glory to Him. Ultimately I know from the Bible and history that God’s set up our Kings/Rulers(Psalm 2, Psalm 45:8-9, Psalm 148,Prov. 8, and so on and so on) …whether they be good or evil. He is a “good daddy” allowing trails to come to us at times to grow us (many examples in the bible, one particularly with an evil King in the book of Daniel). So I am praying and know that God’s will for America will be done. No matter whom He allows in office.

I also know that God, the creator of life, believes life starts at conception and any type of murder in the womb is not only socially wrong but is against His will. I believe that a hundred years from now, whether you base your life on Christ or not, that we will see abortion as one of the most horrific mistakes our generation has made… killing our generation off by the millions. If your heart doesn’t prick watch this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIdbYjmbFzo&feature=bz301

I know that God often mentions the older people in the world as the ones with wisdom (Prov. 20 and 16). I know that John McCain is older and I believe that is to his strength. That his wisdom and experience will help our nation both is this economic crisis and in with resolving the wars of this world. He knows what is cost to have our freedoms and he knows what freedoms make America so great.

At first I had heard so much about McCain and his issues that I was turned off by him, but after watching all of the DNC/RNC and debates and not all of the frivolous opinions I have notice one thing clearly. Both John McCain and Sarah Palin recognize “they” are not the “Answer” that “we” all together are the answer. Every time I hear Obama speak he notes that “he” is the “Answer”. I know that this one man as ambitious as he sounds cannot change America… that it will take a lot more. And I respect McCain’s humility and wisdom in recognizing that.

As many of you know I think Palin is pretty cool not because she is cute and tough but because I can see God’s favor upon her. He has raised her up for such a time as this and her life brings glory to his name. The media has tried to mock her but never has my respect for her changed. She is the first Politian in my life that I know is not into Christ because it will get her votes. She genuinely has an active relationship with God and I know that God has honored her because of her bold stance for Him. I do think she can lead in a moments notice not only because of her experience but also because of her God.

I don’t know why one would vote for Obama. I see that he is an eloquent speaker and he has plenty of experience in “running” for President, but hardly any experience in leading and that is obvious even as I have watched him change his whole philosophies to try to get votes. I honestly don’t know for sure what direction he will really go on most subjects because he has changed his mind so many times.  I know there will be trail if he becomes president.  I am not afraid of it because my trust is in one who never changes… Jesus.

So on Nov. 4th please consider the weight of your decision and vote with wisdom, but trust God’s will is going to be done and fear not man.

for starters

I use to be a great finisher. I would get this idea in my head and i would stop at nothing to accomplish, but lately i think i have become an expert starter... maybe it is having a child... or some other random excuse but i rarely seem to finish anything. Oh i got great God inspired ideas... but 90% are still in the idea basket (pic below - i think it is getting full).

1 idea basket

Two nights ago I was so keyed up with ideas I think I annoyed my sweet husband. I kept getting up to write down an idea and then go back to bed again. But i guess i came up with our Christmas Card design for this year and begins of a great book..... poor Jonathan.

Woe to the starter.... anyone else sympathize?

 

p.s. i think this is one of the best God inspired ideas... it is amazing how he fits in a basket too... and found it all by himself....hmmm...maybe he has a little mommy in him. :)

summer over?

The summer over for you? Not for us! A friend of ours just blessed us with a premo vacation home for a week in Gatlinburg, TN. The place had the works and my whole family came along, even grandma. We had a blast!

There are some things that you don't have to teach a child. They just learn them on their own.
