Right now, Bible study for these babies is excitin

Right now, Bible study for these babies is exciting because it’s about special snacks and company, but one day, for them also it will be about scripture. If we set the patterns now, we won’t have to work so hard to teach them priority later. Don’t wait on the church to influence your babies; it starts at home ♥️

We want to tell our side.

We want to give the ‘but’

We want to tell everyone why it’s okay that we’ve done this or said that. I think maybe we even want to tell ourselves.

There are so many ways to narrarate a story but only One is big enough to write it and each has an ending of its own.

We will stand one day to make an account for ourselves and on that day, He will not ask you about their sin, He will ask you about yours.

Don’t be unaware, He will not want the reason, He will want the response.

“Let the words of my lips and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, Oh God, my Rock, my Redeemer” psalm 19:14

It’s so easy to love this child. Maybe it’s be

It’s so easy to love this child. Maybe it’s because she’s a free spirit with a soft heart or her love for heels and bubble baths but I’d guess it’s because she’s the closest extension of myself.
.
Because she’s my own, she’s easy to love.
.
While it would be easy for me to wrap my identity up in the way I love this little girl, I am not how I love my children; I’m how I love my enemy. It’s how I love the least love-able person to me.
.
We want to make our souls about having good character, but instead, it’s really about good compromise. It’s easy to be good people to good people, but how much of ourselves are we ready compromise for those that are as equally less likely to care? Love is the command.
.
Know in your heart that it’s the fruit you bear, not the fights you win that matter. When we try to be good people, good parents, a good spouse, or a good employee- we are likely carrying a good message... but it’s the commitment to a life of love that is a good ministry 🖤

Sometimes hard places having nothing to do with us

Sometimes hard places having nothing to do with us, but consider while season may not be all about you, it does has something FOR you. Quit praying for God to change them, and instead, ask God to grow you. Gods promises are now, and there is something on the other side.

God search us to seek wisdom not comfort 🖤

How pretty do our circumstances have to be... to g

How pretty do our circumstances have to be... to give God praise?

“When you did awesome things that we did not look for” (v.3)

“Who acts for those who wait for Him” (v.4)

“You meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember You in Your ways” (v.5)

Didn’t He know it?
Could He have stopped it?
Will he not use it?

But will we look for it? Will we look for God right now? Will we step outside of what we feel and remember WHO God is- WHAT God is about? Will we be faithful because God is faithful or will we wait to see it all finished before we decide He deserves both our approval and our praise?

When the scripture says we didn’t look for the awesome things.. that means there were some.

When the scripture says He acts for those that wait, it means He working.

When the scripture says He meets those that joyfully work righteousness, those that remember Him, it means He will.

He allowed it all, but how pretty does it have to be?

Isaiah 64

The biggest lie I believed, I think, is you always

The biggest lie I believed, I think, is you always reap what you always sow.

Don’t expect God to perform.

It’s not do good, get good. Do bad, get bad. That would be fair, and fair is not biblical.

It would be cool if God showed us what happened to the person that hurt our feels. It would be cool if we got a monetary deposit every time we did a good deed. It would be cool if liars pants really did catch on fire... but He doesn’t, we won’t, and they don’t.

There’s something to be said about doing good just to do it. When we do something expecting something- it’s not giving, it’s planning. They are not the same.

Be good people to be good, not to look good.
