Just Chilin'

He has shown you, O Man, what is good; And waht does the Lord require of you But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

Food For Thought

Just a thought for you to chew on this week:


"Keeping the most important, as the most important, is the most important."

Give Thanks

I was trying to think about this post. Not in the sence wheater or not to post a new blog, but what to say. I have too many things to be blessed with, and I thought now would be the time to let everyone know about one of the most important things that I am thankful for.

Most of you know, that last year, my brother-in-law was involved in a car accident that almost took his life. But by the loving God that we serve, God speared his life. The dr. had lost Jason a couple times that night of the accident. But it was not his time to go. Jason had spent about a month in ICU- he had a broken hip, and his spline had to be removed, as well as someother injuries. Jason was not in a good condintion at all. I remember going up to the hopsital (County hospital) every day and spending time with Kami (my sister) and seeing Jason for a couple of min. Going from seeing how Jason was always a sleep and in ICU, to seeing him a year later. It is amazing.

Jason, now is almost 100% healed up. He is back to working full time, and he is no longer doing physical therapy. He is living a normal life, with limited help from pain medication. God has blessed Jason so much, not only saving his life spiritually a while ago, but saving his life physically. I guess God is not done with Jason here on earth yet.

With that being said, I am most grateful for not only Jason being in my family and being amazing brother to me. But for God. For God saving my whole family. It is a blessing to go home every night, to a family that is in love with God, and His word.

I hope and pray that everyone has a great Thanksgiving-
P.S. if you are looking for some dessert this Thanksgiving, you should come to my house. We will not only have the Pumpkin pies, but have a couple other desserts that I have made.

Here Goes Nothing

So I really don't know what to talk about, or what to say, or how long or short this post will be. But I figured it was time for a new blog. So here goes nothing.
I get asked all the time how I like school. And my answers usually are school is great. In which is true. But lately I have been thinking more about that question, and trying to figure out if there is a different way of answering it. Besides, school is great. So this answer is now my new one. I say school is great, I can't believe that God has given me a talent, and a desire. And then has given me the rescoures to perfect this talent. God has placed in me a desire of pastries, and a desire for making pastries look pretty. But that doesn't stop there, he has place the means for me to perfect, or at least gain the knowledge of this talent. Its like what we here all the time, God doesn't give you more then you can't handle. And right now I for sure see that in my life. God has given me a full plate but has given me the strenght to get through the day. God is amazing. this reminds me of what Tom said tonight at Church...
That God didn't save me, because of me. He didn't look down on the times of earth and say... Now there is a beatuful girl who has her head on straight, and has a skill. I think I will save her. Hahah, cause if He did that, we would know for a fact that He woul dif. not of saved me. But it has nothing to do with me. I was a punk ( ok, ok still am a punk) but now I am SAVED BY GRACE. How amazing is that, to know that the God of the Universe saved me, because He wanted to.
Tonight at dinner, a bref comment came up. The comment about adoption. And everytime I hear that word 2 thought come to mind. The physical adoption, yes I once was adopted. No not from a foster home, but my step dad adopted me when my real dad died. And even though sometimes I think about my real dad, and it hurts to me think that I will never see him again, cause he was not a Christian. I still wonder and think about him. But at the same time I am bless to have a dad who loves God. The other adoption is God, he adopted me as His daughter. That blows my mind. I can have a conversation with the God of the Universe and know I AM HIS. And that I am beatuful in His eyes. I don't need for people to tell me, or mostly not tell me that I look nice.. cause I know that I am beatuful in the Creater eyes. He made with green eyes, the blonde hair, he made to be only 5 feet tall. And I love every single thing about that. I am sitting here in awe and wonder of this.
It is funny, cause I started out thinking I was going to write about something different. But like I said, God had placed something else on my heart to write about. So ending on this note, have a great day- and remember, that God doesn't give us more then we can't handle, without the means to handle it.

Marriage Anyone?

It is so sad to see what the world thinks marrage is, or what it is not. People get married for all the wrong reasons. It makes me sick to hear this. One of the girls in my class at school, is married and is not in love with her husband. The only reason they got married is cause she got pregnant. She doesn't love her husband, nor does she respect him. How can this be? How did they wind up in this place? Why does she not love him, or respect him? Why doesn't he respect her, or help her out? The answer is simply. They didn't build the marriage on Christ.
Christ HAS to be the center of your marriage in order for it to work. God says that you must be married to one husband, and to one wife. And the wife eyes are to ONLY be for her husband, and for the husband, his eyes should ONLY be for his wife. But not with this girl in my class. She is hanging out wiht her ex, and everything. She says she is a Christian, and goes to Church every Sunday. How can this be? How can you call yourself a Christain, and not have a love for your husband? They need to go back and re-read this amazing book... called the Bible. In it God tells us how we should live, and how the marriage should wrok. With out God in the middle of it, it woun't work.

I can not wait to get married. I pray that not only my dating relationship with my whom ever I date, would be an Godly example, but mostly I pray that my marriage would not only be Christ centered and Christ fullfilled, but it would be an example to everyone that is around me. I hope and pray that right now, while I am single. People see Christ in me, and see that I don't need a boyfriend to make me happy. I know that I am FAR from perfect, and there are so many times in one day that I screw up, but that is why God mercies are new everyday. That is what gets me out of bed, knowing I am living for a King. A King who is calling me His Daughter. That blows my mind. That He would look down on someone like me, and say This is my Daughter, in whom I am pleased.

As I close this blog for the night, I want to let my future husband know...

I dream about you

Rebecca St. James- Wait for me
