sacrifice

right now i am not drinking any caffeine

its somewhat of a sacrifice, in that i always feel tired, from the time i wake up

till i go to bed

though this maybe a small sacrifice, i cant help 

think that a few years ago, i was willing to give up everything i had 

and go anywhere God said to go, and in a way did

i never liked staying in one place for long because i always knew i might get comfortable and 

not be willing to give up everything and go

but as God now has it, he wants me to stay and learn how even in my comfort to sacrifice

to be able at a moments notice give up everything, not necessarily in the physical sense, not just in word, but in my heart let go

i have been at Glad Tidings longer than I have stayed anywhere in my short adult life, and have no plans on going anywhere

but in it all through this i want to not hang on to anything material, and not be comfortable, and not rely on anyone for my needs, wants or desires other than Jesus

sacrifice - to suffer loss of, give up, renounce, injure, or destroy especially for an ideal, belief, or end

James 1

Was reading this today and wanted to share.

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
9The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

13When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

16Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

not called

i have realized i am not called to be a stay at home mom

but recently i have had the experience, nay the priveledge 

of doing this

i come home and do laundry, cook, clean, do dishes

right now i have spent over 24 hour straight with noah

sarah worked thursday night, and now tonight (friday)

anyways noah and i are chillin

well the remote has been taken over by women power and i am left null and void in the art of 

remotalia (remote controller (the controller of the remote))

so quick update for the 2 people who still occasionally check by blog, (not angie anymore)

I am kickin hinny (kids church version of kick butt) with my website business

sarah has gotten herself knocked up again (that dang milk man)

and we are in our new house

life is great, work is busy

and sarah is preggy sick as a dog (but a beautiful one)

i will strive to blog more

but i am not puttin money on myself

what is God showing me?

sorry so long

sorry its been so long since a post, i need to get back on it

we are in our house now 

everything is in the house

but not put away lol

looking forward to 09 and all the great things in store

web we weave

oh the tangled web we weave

when we try and be a spider

sometimes we try and be someone we are not

why not be yourself

make no apologies for who you are

as long as who you are is

striving to be like Jesus

in our relationship with Jesus

we sometimes view Him 

as far away

when in essence His Spirit dwells within us

He is always right there beside you

wanting to converse with you

wanting to spend time with you

take time, find out who you are in Christ 

been a while

well it has been a while since i have posted

the last post was when i had finished all my school work

to those out there still in school, it will be over before you know it

and its worth it

i am been keeping busy with a lot of web work and designing and spending time with sarah and noah

as of recent i broke my little toe left foot

and as i was sitting and not able to walk a scripture came to mind

 

1 corinthians 12:12-30

these talk about how all the parts of the body are important, you cant tell the foot it aint no good, because your an eye, or you can tell your pinky toe you dont need it, because you do

sometimes i think we think if our job is more "important" we dont need anyone else

but not true, just like i needed my pinky toe to walk, take out trash (which is how i broke it in the first place) or just chase after noah

we need everyone and everything they do, little or small

everybody is Gods family is important

i talked with a kids church mom today, and she was asking what her kids needed for the christmas play as far as costume

i told her that she could make anything she wanted as far as her kids being angels, and that everything she could do to help would we awesome

does that mean her job is less important than mine, as i am running the kids church play?

no, by no means

hers i just important

without her kids angel costumes no one would know they were angels

so we need our pinkys toes

and we need each other, to make the whole body work

we need each other to make sure that Gods family continually moves foward
