For His Service

God does have a sense of humor. He takes two totally different people and tells them they are now one.... to think as one... live as one.   .. How are we suppose to do that?  We can't without His Holy Spirit.  We, by nature, are selfish and only think about our own needs.  It  isn't like us to naturally consider the other person's feelings.  Don't believe me?  Watch any two or three year old!  We have to teach them not to hit...to share... to be loving, etc.  me and my sweet Husband... There are many Bible Verses on marriage.. Genesis 2:22-24 ,   Ephesians 5:23,24,32 , 1 Co, Ephesians 4:2-3,  1 Co rinthians 7:1-16 , 1 Peter 3,  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, etc.. However, I think Philippians 2 is one of the BEST passages to put into action to have a HAPPY marriage in a broken world.   Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing i...

I have been working on a Bible study by Beth Moore called Breaking Free.  It is a Bible study similar to Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Lies Women Believe.  It is focused on using Scripture to combat the lies of our own minds or the lies of the enemy.  We are breaking free of bad habits, false beliefs, and bad attitudes.    I think I have completed most of Beth Moore's Bible Studies and she does an excellent job of helping you fall in  love with God's word.  She does an excellent job of showing you the power of His word to break strongholds.   Her studies are hard and require a lot of homework, but when you fall in love with His word, you don't mind that so much. Yesterday she had us read a familiar story, the Samaritan woman at the well. John 4:1-18)/ 9  The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. [ a ] ) 10  Jesus a...

John Michael saw the neurosurgeon this morning. Amazing news .. the cyst inside his spinal cord is gone! ASTOUNDED! Here is a website that you can go to ... so you see that the cyst inside his spine, (the syringomyelia), rarely go away on their own... www.sharecare.com/question/can-syringomyelia-go-without-treatment Syringomyelia is a cyst in the spinal cord which can result in numbness over the back or trunk and in more severe cases, weakness of the hands and arms. Untreated, it typically worsens slowly over time. Syringomyelia (sear-IN-go-my-EEL-ya) is a disorder in which a cyst forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, expands and elongates over time, destroying a portion of the spinal cord from its center and expanding outward. As a syrinx widens it compresses and injures nerve fibers that carry information from the brain to the extremities. The Syrinx or syringomyelia is gone! What could have happened was VERY scary! We rejoice in God's mercy for Jo...

I have been asking God to SHOW me that He loves ME.....and He will take care of ME!  I know these things intellectually, but life circumstances can keep me from feeling these truths.  So I prayed "God, show me you love me and will take care of me". I waited..... Nothing!  The next day, I prayed, "God show me that you love me and will take care of me." Again, nothing!  There were things that happened.. things that reminded me of how He loved me and cared for me.    God reminded me how He cared for me and took care of me and held my marriage together when it should have fallen apart.  He reminded me that HE has caused my husband to have a good job in a terrible economy.   But I still felt that wasn't the "showing" of the answers to my prayer.  On day 9, I had a dream.  I dreamt that I was on a roller coaster with some of my friends...traveling to see a house she was building....
