Done for a bit

I am taking a break from my blogging world for a little while… maybe a long while.  This blog has served me well in terms of an outpouring of my love for Christ, my struggles with my faith, my struggles with my dad’s cancer, my mom’s health.  The list can go on and on, but in the end I know that God saw me through each and every challenge I faced.  I struggled at times (many times), but in the end I found that if I turned all of my problems completed over to Him, things went a little smoother.  Completely is the key, and something I am challenged with on a regular basis. 

I love to write, so who knows how long it will be before I return.  I will still visit other blogs and read your insightful post – so I will not be gone, but not active here.

Take care.

it hit me today – well maybe awhile ago – Christ died for our sins

I wonder if every Christian truly understands what it means to say that Christ died for our sins.  I really do wonder that – especially in today’s world.  I mean do we really understand what sin is?  Do we really understand what the impact of sin is? 

I am not sure where this is coming from, but it has been on my mind lately.  Lately I have been feeling like there is a tendency to feel priviledge and not broken.  That we understand basically what Christ did for us, but in a way similiar to when our parents go out of their way to help us growing up – providing for us, etc. – basically that it was expected. 

I really don’t want to feel that way.  It should not be expected… it should be more than that to me.  I think it is, but then again… is it?

Prayers … prayers… prayers….

Take care my friends.

Time Away

I am taking a little bit of time away from bloggin in order to recharge and pray.  Please pray with me as I start this journey.  Take care.

Keep on working on me

Lord,

This morning I ask that you keep on working on me. 

You know my heart. 

You know my needs. 

You know who I am better than anyone. 

This morning I ask that you…

Work on me. 

Mold me. 

Hold me.

Help me. 

Guide me. 

Teach me. 

And, humbly i ask that You use me where ever I am able to be of use.

Where ever You need me.

I pray that if You choose to use me that I don’t stumble and fall, but if I do you allow me to start this prayer over once again.

Lord,

This morning I ask that you keep on working on me. 

Lord,  You know my heart.

Lord, You know my neeeds

I surrender…

As I said yesterday… alot of thinking going on in this head of mine.  With that said, my thought for the day is related to surrender.  Turning off my self reliance, and trust God more.  Talk about hard. 

Do I do this all the time – nope…

Do I do this some of the time – yes…

When was the last time that I can honestly say I turned all of my problem over to God – when dad got cancer.  Actually a couple of months after he was diagnosed.  When God dad got cancer last year I was finally at ease when I prayed to God and said basically, “God, I cannot do this alone anymore. I surrender it all to you. I leave it in your hands. ” Not those exact words – but the most important for me was – “I cannot do this alone anymore…”

To this day I realize I cannot do it alone.

I try…

but I can’t…
