Kid's humour,

Last night I was telling the story of Job to my kids and as I was finishing I told that God gave Job double for his trouble.He doubled everything he had earlier.So my children asked did they have 14 children then.I said, he must have had.Then my 8 yr old asked me, "Mom, did he also get 2 wives?"

Things I would teach any child including my own.

1.God should be first priority in your life. 2.Obey your parents in all things because they are more experienced/knowledged with mistakes you are likely to commit.Trust them,be open to talk with them.If not your own, talk with other godly parents as well. 3.Put no confidence in your flesh.Always strive to gain victory in the spirit over flesh.By flesh I mean temptations toward food,drugs,sex,etc. 4. Have a goal in your life and work towards it.Ultimately one day you have to stand on your own feet to take care of yourself.Financial independence gains you respect. 5.Be careful in choosing your friends.Observe what they are interested in. If they are interested in fleshly things, then they are not the right kind of friends.Have friends who are godly and have goals in their life.Godly people are God fearing,honest and trustworthy. Ungodly friends might also be honest and trustworthy but leave God out of the equation....and most likely to compromise on their ethics. 6.Our ultimate goal in l...

Trusting God.

God has been so good and faithful in my life innumberable times ...and its about time I quit worrying and started trusting God that whatever He is doing, its going to be good.Very recently,God had recently worked an impossible situation in our favour in a very short time.Its about time that I placed my worries and other things on His altar. Is 32.17 The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. Is 30:15(AMP) For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. Prov 3:5-6 (AMP) Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. Heb 4:3 For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) d...

The 'spiritual' unmentionables and turn-arounds.

The weaker side of my faith.The reason of my writing this is to mainly encourage myself. I am going through a crisis right now that requires tremendous amount of faith for the next several weeks..Perhaps I am blowing it out of proportion in my mind. I had people pray over my situation and I derive comfort there.Yet, when God asks me to let go of my worries to Him I just cling onto my worrying and brooding as usual.This morning as I was blog hopping I came across a cute story about a young woman desperately wanting to be a mom in the face of odds and yes, soon enough God blessed her in an extraordinary way.Yes, she faced few challenges but yet God came through with her.She has such a generous heart. Few possibilities and realities to consider : 1. Instead of directing emotions inwardly (selfpity/lack of faith) find something else to think about, perhaps help and be there for someone else or find something to be grateful about.In my case,when I read about this young woman's story it ...
