For Such A Worm As I

Good morning everyone!   It's Friday! And that means..... War Room opened in theaters at midnight last night!!  You were thinking I was going to say, "...it's time for Five Minute Friday," didn't you?  Well, I will get to that soon, Lord willing, but for now, I am super-excited thinking about another excellent film from the Kendrick brothers!  This time, their movie focuses on prayer and I can hardly wait to see it this evening!  Prayer is the greatest tool that those who believe in Jesus Christ possess!  How often do we make use of this invaluable resource, though?  I would challenge you (and most of all, myself!) to seek the Lord and begin meeting with Him more regularly. As you go throughout your day, do you find yourself turning to Him with an important decision (big or little)?  Do you find yourself praising Him when you see His marvelous creation or do you thank Him when you realize the blessings He showers on you or the ways He protec...

 It's Friday and the word of the day is Find! (Hop over to Kate Motaung's blog to see what trails my fellow-writers followed with this word!) Years ago, when I was a little girl, the choir at the church we were part of sang a beautiful song called "Find Us Faithful." It stuck in my head and I would sing it and loved it.  For years I have thought of this song and sang it off and on, but recently, the thought of faithfulness and the Lord's returning to find us, in whatever condition we're in, has been on my mind.  I've been saddened and discouraged by some things at my church.  It seems that I'm finding lack of interest in the things of the Lord, lack of willingness and eagerness to serve and put the time into Bible study so that we can be an effective, God-centered people.  What happens when there are no workers to be found?  what happens if no good, faithful workers stay to carry on the work of the Lord and to advance His Kingdom?  Well, I know that i...

  It's Friday again & I am excited about the word for this week's Five Minute Friday!  (Visit my other blogging companions at http://katemotaung.com/2015/08/13/five-minute-friday-learn-a-post-retreat-post/ !)  The word is Learn, so here I go!    There's a wonderfully, exciting time that sometimes arrives in my heart since I've become an adult.  It's the new-wonderful feeling that comes, when it comes, at the start of a new school year.  There's something about learning that just sends such an excitment into my heart!     Kyrie is the secretary at the Christian school in town.  I visited her there recently and thrilled at the boxes of school boxes packaged up and ready to be cracked open by eager little minds, bright, energetic blank slates ready to be written on.  I remember those special open house parties my mother would throw for us when we were starting a new homeschool year.  She would lay out all our new textboo...

It's Friday again and time to team up with Kate Motaung and the gang at  FMF blogger party ! The word for this week is: Here Go! The summer course is over, I've turned in my last test.  The LORD helped me all the way and I'm so thankful and excited to be done.  Now for a week or two free before the fall schedule starts.  But what then? And what before then? And what after then?  I find myself again to be in need of coming before my gracious Master and saying, "LORD, I am here.  Whatever You want to do with me now and in the future, take me and use me.  I'm not sure what Your will is for me, what Your intentions are, but I know that they are for my good, because You are good.  You do all things for my good, and most importantly for Your Glorious Name to be exalted.  So, LORD, use me, do whatever You want to do.  I offer my life, I am here for You, dear Potter.  Who else is here with me on the altar?  May  I be used by You t...
