We are tickled pink! uh i mean blue...

Our little Caleb Josiah is doing great! He is growing. If you have ever had three girls, all you would be used to is pink, but now... Blue! The boxes we are reciving are full of blue! We are just tickled pink! uh i mean blue...

The things we take for granted...

Like little feet

Or a wind chime in the breeze
The moments we share together, as sister and brother

Or a simple smile

So treasure these moments. We take so many for granted.

FAITH... part one

Child Like Faith


If you've ever taken care, or been with a child, you will see that they believe almost anything you tell them. They have no doubts, their faith is not shaken.

What if we had faith like a child?

A little innocent child.

Is a child going to question weather or not they will be fed?

They have faith that you will feed them.

"Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14

In His Presence... part three

Have you ever been in God's presence?

It is Amazing!

If you have, what was it like?

Sometimes the presence of God is so great that you fall on your knees speaking in tongues.

Or sometimes you just feel led to raise your arms to him.

God speaks to some of us when we are in his presence.


When we are in his presence and he tells us something, do we obey?

Do we bear fruit every day?

Do we do to others as we would do to ourselves?

In the first post I did on in his presence I asked this...

What is faith, joy, peace, hope, love?

To be in his presence, don't we have to have faith?

When we obey him we are supposed to have joy while doing it.

When I'm his his presence, I feel peaceful.

HOPE

That one word.

HOPE

Doesn't God give us hope?

"The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their HOPE in his unfailing LOVE."
Psalm 147:11

..."But LOVE your neighbor as yourself"...
Leviticus 19: ...18...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, patience, kindness, goodness, FAITHfulness, gentleness, and self-control."...
Galatians 5:22...

Do we have Peace, Joy, Love, Hope, and Faith?

Have we been in his presence?

Are we in his presence?

If not, we need to be.

Let's get into HIS, meaning God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit's, Presence.

We live by faith, not by sight."
2 Corinthians 5:7





... the faith series coming soon

Did y'all like the verse thing we did in September? I did not post enough verses this week, crazy life with new baby and everything. So, I started the posts, In His presence... I have done
part 1 and 2. These are the special posts for October. Keep your eye out for more of these. Wow! Fall is almost here. The season for leaves, pumpkins, a beautiful season. Is anyone excited
that the weather is cooling off a bit? I am! This summer was a hot one and I am hearing
that it is supposed to be another hard winter. Oh well! One season at a time.

...No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him."
1 Corinthians 2:9

In His Presence... part two

"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
Psalm 139:9-10

This verse is a beautiful verse, but what does it mean? If I rise on the wings of the dawn? If I settle on the far side of the sea? God's hand will guide me? God's hand will hold me fast? This verse says to me that God will never let me go. I can always choose to be in his presence. Yes, you heard right, if I CHOOSE. We have a choice. God does not make us do any thing. We choose if we want to obey him. We choose if we want to be in his presence. We choose, if we read our bible. But God wants us so bad. He is trying to get our attention. But when judgement time comes, it is to late. He is whispering to us. Are we listening? We have to choose to be in his presence before we can be in his presence. You might go into a room where people are experiencing the presence of God, but you won't know.

Once you choose him, you can be in his presence, you can feel it. You can experience it, you can even see it. You can hear it, you can smell it. My Dad had said a couple weeks ago that he wanted to experience God. In a different way than before. He wants to touch, hear, see, smell, and taste. And then this sixth sense that I have added. Spiritually.

So, imagine that you you are rising on the wings of dawn. Can you feel that breeze running through your hair? Can you see the pretty sun rise? Imagine settling on the far side of the sea. Can't you smell the salty air? Can't you hear the waves rolling? Imagine God's hand guiding you. Are you spiritually aware of that? Imagine God's right hand holding us fast.

Sorry I'm a little late on the verse post at the end of the week, but be expecting it tomorrow.

sorry for the mess up on in his presence part one with all the skips I do not know how to fix it yet

In His Presence... part one

Don't you feel that sometimes our faith dwindles?

Or that our confidence in God has faltered

What is Faith?

What is Love?

What is Hope?

What is Joy?

What is Peace?

When the Father whispers secrets to us, do we listen?

Do we smile up at him and really listen?

When the fruit is ripe, do we pick it?

When we are offered the keys, will we take them?

Will be open our eyes, and see?

Will we taste?

Will we grasp the chance and make a mark in this world?

A Jesus mark?

"From that time on Jesus began to preach, repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

Matthew 4:17
