Taking Inventory of my Thoughts

 
While I sit here with my mind running over things that have happened this week, situations I could have done or handled differently. So my mind is idling, which isn't always good because it can easily give Satan a foothold in my mind. Psalm 19:14 reads, " May the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock, and my Redeemer." I can breathe and put these thoughts into my savior's hands. I can meditate on his goodness and give him praise with my mouth. Give Him the glory that he was with me in my classroom this week. He provided help when I needed it. Understand that no matter what, Jesus is my Rock and my Redeemer. Jesus loves you and me. Think about Jesus.

Day 38~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Teaching your Children~ We are all God's Children

Image
Welcome to day 38 with our discussion through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." The biggest thing that we worry about is our children. I don't have any children of my own, but I feel I am still responsible for all the children I meet. It is so important to realize how special each one is. We are going to look deeper in how not to worry so much over our children that are placed into our lives. Day 38 ~ Don't Worry About Your Children~ Our scripture reading is from Matthew 6:27, " And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?" Worrying is like a rocking chair that keeps rocking but you aren't going nowhere. I am not a parent but I have babysat, raised nieces and nephews, and was a daycare teacher for 20 years. It is hard sometimes not to worry about them. My nieces and nephews are my heart ! I would do anything for them. They are back here in N...

Day 23~ The Battle Belongs to the Lord~ waiting on God~ Our battle cry

Image
Good afternoon! Isn't God is good! We have come a long ways in our discussion through Joyce Meyer's book, " 100 ways to simplify your life." Day 22~ The Battle Belongs to the Lord~ Our scripture reading comes from 2 Chronicles 20:17, " You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord [who is] with you, O Judah and Jerusalem." Wow! Take a moment and let that verse sink deep into your heart. Matter fact, find a note card and write this one down. Life throws us lemons, we just need to learn how to handle them. So many times we try to fight every battle that we come into contact with only to find ourselves getting discouraged, disappointed, overwhelmed, and we can easily mess it up. If we look at 2 Chronicles 20: 17-22, God gives Jehoshaphat"...You will not have to fight this battle." We can break it down into three simple steps. Jot this down! Step 1. Seek the Lord f...

day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Gods Grace is Sufficient

Image
Welcome to day 80 as we are continuing with our devotional reading and reflection.God is amazing and so loving! We don't deserve anything and so often take it for granted. Day 80~ A bit of Grace for Today~ Our scripture reading comes from James 4:6, "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Today as I was working,  I realized how undeserving I am of God's blessings in my life. We are looking at God's grace. God loves us so much that he sent His son to die for our sins. As I struggle with learning new schedules and children,  I mess up a lot. People have been patient with me learning children and routines from all classrooms. It has made this transition to a new place easier!  Reflections ~ God's Grace is Sufficient  In Romans 5: 20, The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more." No matter how much we mess up,...
