These & This

These people are believing Jesus for this...

Great Ideas

Mondays are when I usually plan the week's menus
and grocery shopping list.
And I did that today.

BUT.. I found a good site with practical ideas
for menu planning. Some of them I already
do and some I don't... yet.

MENU IDEAS from SIMPLEMOM.net

Hope you enjoy.

Happy Monday!

Prove it!

"Wisdom is proved right by her actions."

Matt. 11:19b

It's NOT whatcha think

David's many talents included some
serious skills with the slingshot!
I doubt that all shepherds of his day could hit
the targets like he could.
(I Samuel 17:40-47)

But his talents belonged to God.
And when that's the case, we can
expect to do some crazy stuff
with those giftings! (ie- Goliath)

The kind of things that Jesus may ask
us to do will be things that'll make
others say stuff like...

"Oh my! You were not trained for this."
"I don't think this was what they had in mind"
"Are you sure this is God?"
"How safe is this?"
"What on earth will your brothers think?"
"I am very uncomfortable with all this!"

OK...
So WHAT!?

When I gave my life completely to Jesus I took
my hands off anything He's deposited in me.
HE knows why He created me the way He did.
HE knows why He's given me opportunities to
develop certain areas of my life.
HE knows what's going on...

I don't!

I trust Him.

What makes you do what you do?

We must find our motivation
in gratitude
rather than guilt!

THANK YOU, JESUS, for giving Your
life for me & calling me Your own!

What it IS & ISN'T

REAL FAITH isn’t ordering GOD around & getting OUR way.

Praying in FAITH doesn’t mean you try to conjure up
some positive feeling in hopes that your desires are
for sure gunna happen.

Instead, praying in faith means being at peace with
WHATEVER God chooses to do,
because we trust HIS wisdom & goodness!
