Study and learn. Be changed.  Ephesians 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not

Today's funny

My 4 year old comes in to my bathroom this morning while I am getting a shower to inform me that he didn't make it to the toilet in time. I tell him to get undressed while I get out and I will put him in the shower. I wrap a towel around myself and stick him in the shower and hose him down. I lather and rinse him and …and I start to dry him, while I am still wrapped in a towel. He sees a little cleavage and tells me that he likes my chest. I just laugh and tell him thank you. Next he says, “But it is kind of siwwy” (translation/silly). Oh, the joys of children.

Blogging

-
Why blog? I want to blog so I can remember how God has revealed Himself to me and my friends. I want to blog so I can look back and laugh at the innocence of my children. I want to blog to stay connected to you. I want to share with you what God is teaching me and I pray this blog shows that I am just an ordinary mother of three with an extraordinary God. He alone helps me find joy in the hard times. He alone is my comfort and He alone do I desire to serve. Come back and see what He is up to.
