Whispering Truth

Recently I read a chapter in a book that led and ended with Proverbs 23:7, which says, "For as he thinks within himself, so he is." (NASB)

This really spoke to me on many levels.

I believe that we are who and what we think we are and that we become who and what we think we are. Therefore I want to know who and what God created me to be and I want to think on those things.

C. S. Lewis said it simply this way. "We are what we believe we are."

Throughout the day after I read that verse I began to recognize places where it applied. One of those moments was with my oldest son who is three. I fussed at him for doing something mean to his brother he then asked me not to be mad at him. It was in that moment that I realized yet again how much my reactions and responses affect the way he thinks and sees things.

Later that day I began whispering truth into my boys' ears. While we were rocking before nap time I leaned in and whispered, "You are Loved." and "You are created in God's Image." and "You are kind." etc.

I want to do this because I want them to think and know who and what they were created to be. I want them to think TRUTH about themselves.

I want the TRUTH to cover all of my mistakes as a mom. I need God's truth to cover all of my mistakes as a mom.

I also need God's truth to be whispered to my heart as well. In telling them I am reminding myself as well.

I plan to begin randomly whispering truths to them throughout each day. Truth from God's Word.

Whispers:
You are created in God's Image. Genesis 1:27
You were created with a purpose and a plan. Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10
You are kind. Galations 5:22-23
You are wonderful. Psalms 139:14, Ephesians 2:10
You are loved. John 3:16, 1 John 4:19
You are strong. Psalms 46:1

I am thankful that we have already incorporated prayer into our day heavily which has helped tremendously when mama's attitude stinks or either of the boys' attitude stinks.

Here are some of the prayers that we pray as often as I can remember to. I am certainly not perfect at this but every time helps.

During a moment of big feelings:
Lord Jesus we ask you to come into our moment. Help us to calm our feelings. Let us hear your voice louder than we hear anything else. In Jesus' name. Amen.

During a moment where one or several of us are out of control:
Lord Jesus we ask you to come into our moment right now. We ask you to forgive us for ______. Help us to calm down and to not do these things anymore. In Jesus' name. Amen.j

Armor of God Prayer: Ephesians 6:13-18
Father right now we put on the full armor of God. Help us to stand firm with the belt of truth buckled around our waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with our feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this help us to take up the shield of faith with which we can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Help us to take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is your word God. And help us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions and with all kinds of prayers. In Jesus' name. Amen. I am just literally praying the scripture right out of the Bible here.

Bedtime Prayer: The Lord's Prayer from the Little Lamb's First Bible
Greatest Father God above 
you are perfect full of love
help me live my life your way
give me what I need today
please forgive me when I'm bad
teach me how to make you glad
give me strength to do what's right
and keep me safe both day and night. 
In Jesus' name. Amen. 

I just want to point us back to Jesus as much as possible and I want to whisper or speak truth so that we are thinking of the right things so that we become who and what God created us to be.

If we were to think all of the time, "I am stupid." We would begin to say it and then we would begin to act that way and eventually we would loose track of who and what we really are which is far from stupid.

The bible is our source of what God, OUR CREATOR, says we are. Those are the things we should be thinking about. "For as he thinks within himself, so he is." Proverbs 23:7 (again).

Joyce Meyer says, "You can't live a positive life if you have a negative mind."

I want to change the way that we are thinking so that we can all truly live the life God has created us for.

I have found that recently I have sunk into a place where I most certainly have a negative mind. And do you know what, I can barely stand myself. I am whinny, constantly complaining, negative and sad. Because of the way I have been thinking my joy has been taken. I needed Proverbs 23:7.

No more. I am taking back my thoughts according to 2 Corinthians 10:5.
Here is my new prayer:
Father I demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and I take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen. Again basically just praying the scripture as it reads in the Bible.

Will you join me friend? Will you join me in taking our thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ so that we can take back our minds and our thoughts and so that we will believe and become who God created us to be. So that we can truly LIVE OUR BEST LIVES.


Father,
Help me Lord. Every moment of every day I need your help. I ask that you would help me to take captive every thought and every word. Help me to think TRUTH and speak LIFE. Help these readers as they read these words to also have moments where Your truth applies. Help us oh Lord. We need your help. Help me to speak Life to my boys and to be a safe place for them. Help me to be the mom, wife, friend, daughter, and teacher that you created me to be. Give me your strength Lord and help me to hear YOUR VOICE louder than anything else. In Jesus' name. Amen.

What You Say Of Me

I was blown away by the amount of views my last post received. I believe that is due to loneliness being something that so many struggle with and maybe don't talk about very much. 

I have not been able to shake that. It breaks my heart to think that so many struggle with feeling lonely.

I have focused my study time on what the word says about loneliness and I thought that would be what my next post would be about. But that is not the case.

Lauren Daigle has recently released a song entitled "You Say". I have had this song on repeat since last week. It is a game changer. LOOK IT UP. BUY IT. PLAY IT. LIVE IT. BELIEVE. 

I played it for my STARS class (3rd-5th grade girls) last night and we talked through the lyrics and then worshiped to the song. My prayer is that these young girls would truly list to what GOD says of them rather than their feelings or the world. I PRAY THEY WOULD BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY OF THEM LORD. 

I wanted to share what it is that God says of us. This will certainly NOT be an exhaustive list, but it will give us a good start on who we are in Christ.

You are LOVED. Isaiah 43:4a (NIRV) "You are priceless to me. I love you and honor you."

You are STRONG. Ephesians 6:10 (NIRV) "Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power."

You are HELD. Isaiah 41:13 (NLT) "For I hold you by your right hand--I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, 'Don't be aftraid. I am here to help you"

You are his CHILD. John 1:12 (NLT) "But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God."

You are ACCEPTED. Romans 15:7 (NIRV) "Christ has accepted you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God."

You are ADEQUATE. 2 Corinthians 3:5 (NIV) "Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God"

You are BEAUTIFUL. Isaiah 61:10 (NIRV) "The people of Jerusalem will say, "We take great delight in the Lord. We are joyful because we belong to our God. He has dressed us with salvation as if it were our clothes. He has put robes of godliness on us. We are like a groom who is dressed up for his wedding. We are like a bride who decorates herself with her jewels."

You are BOLD and CONFIDENT. Ephesians 3:12 (NIRV) "Through him and through faith in him we can approach God. We can come to him freely. We can come without fear."

You are CALLED. 1 Corinthians 1:9 (NIV) "God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."

You are CHOSEN. Colossians 3:12 (NIRV) "You are God's chosen people. You are holy and dearly loved. So put on tender mercy and kindness as if they were your clothes. Don't be proud. Be gentle and patient."

You are more than a CONQUEROR. Romans 8:37 (NIV) "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

You are FREE. Romans 8:2 (NLT) "And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death."

You are GUARDED by God. Philippians 4:7 (NLT) "Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

You are his HANDIWORK. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) "For we are God's masterpiece (handiwork). He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

You are KEPT. 1 Peter 1:5 (NIV) "who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time."

You are the LIGHT of the world. Matthew 5:14 (NIRV) "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill can't be hidden."

You are an OVERCOMER. 1 John 5:4 (NIRV) "That's because everyone who is a child of God has won the battle over the world. Our faith has won the battle for us."

You are ROYAL. 1 Peter 2:9 (NIRV) "But God chose you to be his people. You are royal priests. You are a holy nation. You are a people who belong to God. All of this is so that you can sing his praises. He brought you out of the darkness into his wonderful light."

You are SAFE. Psalms 4:8 (NIRV) "I will lie down and sleep in peace. Lord, you alone keep me safe."

You are THOUGHT ABOUT. Psalms 139:17-18 (NIRV) "God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up. If I could count them, they would be more than the grains of sand. If I were to fall asleep counting and then wake up, you would still be there with me."

You are VALUED. Matthew 6:26 (NLT) "Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?"

You are VICTORIOUS. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ."

This only scratches the surface. The WHOLE Bible is filled with the good things that God thinks about us, created us for, made us to be, helps us to be, etc. 

I know loneliness will come. I know we will struggle. I know that our feelings will lie. I know that we will go through the valley. 

But God has already thought of ALL of that. Nothing takes Him by surprise. That is why He gave us HIS WORD, his love letter, so that we would have all that we need to walk through with strength and not crumble in defeat. That is why he left us with a helper, the Holy Spirit. We do not walk alone. EVER. 

I don't know about you but I am choosing to BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS OF ME. 

I don't want to listen to my feelings. THEY LIE. 

I don't want to listen to the world. IT IS CONTROLLED BY OUR ENEMY. 

I don't want to turn to other people. THEY ARE HUMAN AND CAN AND WILL FAIL US. 

I don't want to find my worth or my identity in anyone or anything but GOD MY FATHER, GOD MY CREATOR, JESUS MY LORD, JESUS MY BEST FRIEND. 

Heavenly Father,

Thank you so much for song writer like Lauren Daigle who write your words and sing it for all the world to be moved. I ask that you would bless Lauren abundantly. I pray that she would continue to write and sing songs that move us to the core and point us back to YOU. I pray Father for every reader, Lord that YOU would speak LIFE into them. I pray that You would encourage them in their journey and help them to remember that YOU have been where they are and that YOU are right there with them. Father thank you for encouraging me and for using me in my struggles to speak out to the world. Lord Jesus I pray that you would come into our moment right now and that your love and peace that surpasses all understanding would surround us and pour down on us like warm sunshine. Jesus I pray for miracles to happen in the lives of every reader as they stand on YOUR TRUTH and as they BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY OF THEM. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

When the loneliness sets in

As women I believe we all have those moments where we just feel so lonely. We can be surrounded by people, wonderful people and still feel lonely.

Recently I had one of those moments. I knew that my feelings were lying to me but I couldn't help but feel that overwhelming loneliness.

I cried. I laughed. I went crazy for a moment or two.

I missed my far away friends. I missed my far away family. I missed the old days. I missed this and I missed that. I was just ALL UP IN MY FEELINGS.

My wonderful husband was close by as were all of my church family and friends. I certainly was not alone. But it still FELT like I was.

Such a classic example of...FEELINGS LIE.

Readers, hear me, I am telling you that this teaching drastically changed my life. I now understand that even in the moments when I feel the lowest that these feelings are not my truth. I still feel them and battle against them, but they are NOT TRUTH.

My TRUTH comes from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and from the Word of God. Even while I was feeling extreme loneliness and sadness I knew it wasn't truth and knew where to turn for truth.

The minute I focused on the Bible and Jesus those feelings began to dissipate and they did NOT return. I happened to be teaching a class and had no choice but to move forward and change my focus. I am thankful for that. But I realize now that truly the moment that I began teaching...BOOM...the feelings began to GO!

By half way through my class I was back to normal. I was exhausted from the extreme feelings but otherwise I was back in a normal head space.

I just want to share this learning...FEELINGS LIE...as often as I can because it has been so life altering for me.

We are going to feel big feelings. We are going to go through hard things. But if we can grab a hold of the understanding that our feelings are NOT TRUTH then we can begin to move forward quicker.

What I learned this time was that if I can just get focused on Jesus and the Word then those feelings will begin to dissipate sooner.

I am so excited about this new learning! I am so thankful to be about my Father's business and not have time to stay in those feelings...IN THOSE LIES. I am so happy that I had a class to teach and precious little hearts to be more concerned about.

Yes, my feelings were there and yes there was a root to them. I see the root and can deal with that without all of the feelings getting involved and for that I am also thankful!

Oh goodness I am just learning one thing after another here! I am happy that you are here learning (reading) with me!

Father,
Thank you. Thank you for YOUR ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Thank you for placing wise and Godly people in my life to teach me lessons that change my life. Thank you for continuing to teach me and move me. Thank you for allowing me the passion to share what you teach me. Thank you for who you are. Thank you Father for being such a good good Father. Thank you Lord for each and every reader. I pray that they too would learn and draw nearer to you. I pray that YOU would speak to their hearts through the words on this screen. Father I pray that YOU would change the course of their lives with YOUR LOVE and YOUR HOPE and YOUR WISDOM! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Words of Fire

Last night I spoke at our Ladies Night of Worship. I gave one of my least favorite message to date. It's a hard message.

I hope it ministers to you as it has been ministering to me.

Words of Fire

James 3:3-6 – When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

It sets the whole course of his life on fire…

THE WHOLE COURSE OF HIS LIFE…

Kinds of fire…Fire for God or Fire that destroys?

Fire for God:

2 Timothy 1:6 – For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God

Hebrews 12:29 – God is a consuming fire

We can spread the Love of God, the Word of God, share HIS MESSAGE, we can spread LIFE

Destroying Fire:

Proverbs 16:27 – A scoundrel plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.

Proverbs 26:18-19 – Like a madman shooting firebrands or deadly arrows is a man who deceives his neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”

Proverbs 26:20 – Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down

We can leave a path of destruction

The tongue is a fire…where does this fire come from? THE HEART

Matthew 12:34b – for out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

Matthew 15:18-19 – But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean. For out of the heart come evil thoughts…

What course of fire ware we on?

Where is our heart set?

I have learned quickly as a mom that I set the tone for the day. Examples.

• ·         Sunday morning E got spanked and my tone was ugly – he had a bad day.
• ·         I got stressed out one night because the power kept going out and got frustrated with the boys and it took an hour for everyone to stop crying and settle down for bed.
• ·         If I come in the room smiling and happy and we have our prayer circle first thing our day tends to be much more peaceful.

When my heart is set right…ON GOD, ON HIS WORD, ON PRAYER, & ON TRYING TO PLEASE HIM AND BRING HIM GLORY…Good Fire comes from my tongue. We pray, we praise, we treat each other better.

When my heart is distracted as it SO EASILY is by…MYSELF & WHAT I WANT, SOCIAL MEDIA, WORRIES, NEGATIVITY…Destruction comes from my tongue. I bark and yell. I get frustrated and angry. We all treat each other badly.

We set the tone as moms, as wives, as sisters, as daughters, as friends.

It is so easy for me to say…if my boys would just be quieter or if they would stop fighting or if this person would stop this or do that THEN I wouldn’t be so mean or get so frustrated.

But the reality is…the fire that comes from our tongue isn’t about ANYONE ELSE but ME and MY HEART.

I tell the kids in Children’s church all of the time...GARBAGE IN = GARBAGE OUT. 

It matters what we are putting in.

Are we putting in enough of the goodness that God has for us? 

Are we hiding HIS word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him as it says in Psalm 119:11?

Are we as women, aka the tone setters of our families and friends, spreading a contagious fire for God or are we leaving a path of destruction?

Let me just tell you...THIS IS A HARD HARD SUBJECT FOR ME. I have had a rough couple of years when it comes to this topic.

I do not speak to my children the way I truly want to consistently. I yell and bark more that I am gentle and kind.

I complain WAY TOO MUCH to my husband. The Bible says in Proverbs 27:15-16 – A nagging wife is like dripping that never stops on a rainy day. Stopping her is like trying to stop the wind. It’s like trying to grab oil with your hand. YUCK!!!

I AM WORKING HARD TO CHANGE THESE THINGS!

HOW? 

Through fasting, praying and trying to STAY in my Bible and HIDE the word in my heart. Not just read it but memorize it and study it. I want to put so much Word and God in my heart that NOTHING else has the chance to come out.

Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Psalm 19:14 – Lord, may the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing in your eyes. You are my Rock and my Redeemer. This has become my prayer!

HE CAN HELP US. HE WANTS TO HELP US. He has already changed me so much! Because of Him I am not who I used to be. 

I AM BETTER THAN I WAS BUT NOT NEARLY CLOSE TO WHERE I WANT TO BE!!

Father, 

I pray that the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart are pleasing to you. Help me in this area Lord. I need you. Thank you for how far you have brought me but Lord, I WANT SO MUCH MORE OF YOU! I want to be even better than I am. I want to bring you glory in all that I say and think and do! In Jesus name. Amen. 

Somewhere in the middle of happy

As I sit here in my little office during the boys' nap time I can't help but find myself somewhere in the middle of HAPPY.

I am happy that these sweet boys of ours are growing and learning so much even if they are still not potty trained.

I am happy that my husband is home from Cuba and had a wonderful time and that our summer is finally winding down. It has and always will be our busiest season. We love it so much but I am always ready for things to wind down.

I am happy about all of the wonderful new families we have at our church. And I am happy that I got the opportunity to meet several of them yesterday.

I am happy that school has started back and believe that our students are going to shine bright for Jesus this school year.

I am happy to have started a new venture into selling Scentsy. I am so excited to see what this brings to our family.

I am happy to have this house that we live in and dream about all the ways we want to make it ours over the years.

I am happy that fall is around the corner. (I am over summer)

I am happy that I have a faithful Heavenly Father and Savior that have changed me entirely.

I am happy that my boys are already learning God's word. They have memorized four Junior Bible Quiz questions.

I am happy that God allows me the opportunity to love His people through ministry and life. I truly LOVE people. Through and Through.

I am happy to be writing again. I love it so much.

I am happy to be seeking God in reaching my dreams. I believe He has big things in store for me and for my family.

I am happy about the opportunities that are coming.

I am happy that it is a brand new week chock full of new beginnings and new days to fill with my boys.

I am happy happy happy.

I could keep going. I could go on and on and on about all the things I am happy about. But the bottom line is...things are not perfect but I am happy and joyful because I am right where God wants me. Nothing on this earth makes me happier than that.

I have joy that comes from my salvation. I have joy that comes from having an intimate relationship with my Heavenly Father. I have joy and happiness that come from being able to look around me and see the good things that GOD has given.

James 1:17 (NIV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

He does indeed give good good gifts. He is so very faithful and kind.

No, things are not perfect but they sure are good and I am happy.

Father,
Thank you for who you are. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for changing me. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for allowing me to be the wife of an amazing and incredible man. Thank you for allowing me to be mama to these two wonderful boys. Thank you for calling us. Thank you for leading us here and for allowing us to literally live our dream every single day. Thank you Father for this wonderful house and thank you for the closed doors that led us here. Thank you Father for the little things and for the big things. Thank you Father for new and old friendships. Thank you Father for the privilege of praying for others. Thank you Father for the gift of salvation through Your Son Jesus. Thank you Father for opening doors. Thank you Father for closing doors. Thank you Father. Thank You. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The good things He has for us

A few days ago the boys and I were having our breakfast on the porch as we often do. We like to enjoy our favorite place in the coolest part of the day. I had made the boys chocolate chip muffles (muffins made in the waffle iron).

The last muffle was chock full of chocolate chips and I had cut a bite for E and called him over to get it. I could not wait to give him this bite because I knew how good it would be with all of those chocolate chips in it.

He was very busy playing and doing things. I waiting a bit and called him over again. I really could not wait to give him this chocolaty bite. Again he was busy and did not move toward me.

I sat there on my swing with the breeze blowing and wondered how many times God had called me and then waited and waited for me to not be too busy to respond so that He could give me the good gift He had prepared for me.

I just imagine that God is so excited to give us these wonderful gifts and that He too just has to wait on us to stop and receive. I can imagine that God anticipates just as I was, for us to receive the good good things that He has for us.

Matthew 7:11 - If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

How many times are we too busy to hear the call or respond to the call. How many times do we miss out on the incredible things that God has for us?

Just like I could not wait to give E this bite because I knew he would love it, God has prepared good things for us. He wants to give us good gifts. He is a good good Father.

I know I have gotten so caught up in planning my own way that I have missed out on what MY CREATOR had planned for me.

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I know the Lord has a future planned for each of us. But are we listening? Are we paying attention? Or are we too busy to hear His still small voice as He calls out to us?

I know I am guilty for being too busy on my phone to even hear my own children (who are NOT still and NOT quiet) call out to me. Just last night when we were driving back home my husband reached over and tapped my leg and say, "Hey, your son has been calling you."

I don't know about you but I want the good things that the Lord has for me. I want more of Him. I want His good good gifts!

Father,
Help me to never be too busy to hear you calling. Help me to read your Word more and get alone with you more. Help me to remove from my life the unimportant things that distract me from You. Lord help. Everyday I need you and your help. I want more of You. I want to be sure I hear you when you call. I want to receive all that you have for me and my family. In Jesus name. Amen.
