Freedom

God will always offend those who don't know how much He loves them.

Love covers a multitude of sins.

Love bears all things, believes all thing, hopes all things.

Love never ends.

God is love.

God. Is. Love. 

We can love money. Money cannot love us back. We can love people, but people are broken and don't always know how to love us back. We can love the earth, the earth has shown us time and again that it absolutely cannot and will not love us back.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights. With whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. James 1:17

Everything good in our lives comes from a Father who loves, because He is love. I recently read a blog that centered around God and His giving. That He is a giver and not a taker. (wheregivinghappens.com) 

I pray that you seek the true nature of God. I pray that He reveals to you on a daily basis just how much love He truly desires to lavish upon you. He's not mad at you. He doesn't keep a log of how many hours a day you do or do not read your bible. He's a good daddy who wants to spend time with you. A daddy who gave so so much to make sure we had a way back to Him. He has given us free will because He wants us to choose to love Him. We make messes with our free will. But the moment we choose Him, the moment we choose to accept His sons sacrifice, is the moment we choose life, a life overflowing with love love love.

Choose the love of Yahweh today.

Read Romans 10:9-10 and choose His saving grace.

I really hope you do. I would love to hear about it.

I Am as Free as You Are

'I don't want kids. I want my freedom. '

'No I don't have kids, I have a life!'

Which means, as a mother of four, I have no freedom and no life.

Mkkay....

I had the freedom to choose to get pregnant.

I have the freedom to love and raise four little precious lives.

I have a life that is made even more full by those sticky little people.

I get more kisses than most people.

I am never bored.

I laugh more now than I ever have, and I laughed a lot before I had kids.

The list of good goes on...

A lot of women that I hold very dear have said these hurtful things in front of me....a lot. I just wanted to have an outlet for my feelings, instead of saying something snarky at that moment.....which is what I want to do.

Silly Selfies

People got all huffy when they added 'selfie' to the dictionary. Not sure why. It's a word that describes an action. And let's be honest, you've taken a selfie in your lifetime. I've taken more than my share......a large portion of them with a camera that requires film.......

Let's Try Something Different

Why do we freak out about the ten commandments being in school?  How about tacking this one up:

1 Corinthians 13:13 AMP
And so faith, hope, love abide [faith–conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope–joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love–true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Apparently law alone hasn't worked for us thus far. I get that we need rules. Everybody gets that. We know already. We're taught from birth to obey. But no one wants to obey a command from someone they think hates them or at best is indifferent towards them.

John 14:15 ESV
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

We keep His commandments BECAUSE we love Him. I could go be with another man.......BUT I DONT WANT TO! WHY? Because I love my husband. See where I'm going with this?
