Oh How Blessed

I am so blessed.  Blessed beyond measure.  I have a wonderful husband, who provides for us in every way.  He is so loving, kind, caring, compassionate, faithful and hard working.  He is a man who puts his family first and thinks of our well-being.  My Henry melts my heart everyday. I love to hear him laugh and how excited he gets about the little things in life.  Levi is so sweet and cute. He loves to cuddle and that smile would make me do anything for him.  My parents and in-laws are so supportive to us and help us in so many ways with out us even having to ask.  My job and co-workers make work so enjoyable and I look forward to going.  My church challenges me and provides me with opportunities to serve and love and grow in my faith.  My friends support me and love me no matter what I say or do and love me for me.  My grandparents are so giving and generous to us.  But most of all, I am blessed because I have a Savior.   My Jesus is my Savior.  He loves me and my friends and family.  He took my sins, He paid my price for death. He saved my life!  No matter what I will go through in this life, nothing, NOTHING, can take that blessing from me.  Thank you to each of my family and friends who will read this!  Thank you Jesus for loving me and saving me!  I hope to be a blessing to each of you someday, and I hope to help others to experience your love and mercy Jesus.

My Ever growing mouth!

I can be quiet, I chose not to, but I can.  Really! I know it is hard to believe.  So what I have noticed lately is that I choose to talk at every opportunity given.  Sometimes appropriate but not always.  I recently finished a bible study that had quite a few mature christians and in that class there were only about 3 that participated regularly in the discussion.   This made me wonder why these mature christians were not talking.  Were the mature enough to keep their mouths shut? or did they not have an answer or were they afraid of offending someone else?  I do not know but maybe I should learn to shut my mouth once in a while.  I don't always join the conversation but when talking about religion or spiritually matters I do always join in.  It is the one subject I always have an opinion on and the subject that I truly enjoy talking about, even when others disagree with me.  I will try to be quiet long enough to let someone else answer but I just can't stop talking about this.  Sorry!

Will I ever succeed?

I try everyday to be a godly woman, but oh how I fail.  I want people to see me as a girl who loves Jesus and serves Him and others.  I want to serve others and love them as Christ does, but I mess it up so badly.  I try to do and say what I think is right and would help but I rarely get it right.  I think most of the time I actually make things worse.  How do you help others in the way they need it? How do you love them so that they know you truly care about them? How do you bring them closer to Christ with out pushing them away?  These are the questions I ask myself.  I want to help. I want to be the one who people can count.  I want to be someone who people can come to with out judgement or fear of rejection.  I want to be someone who can pray with people and guide them in their walk with Jesus.  I want to show true Christian love.  How I want to succeed.  I will continue to try and pray God will guide me in this, but please forgive me and do not give up on me when I fail.
