Once Again.

Today God showed His faithfulness once again. But I would like to start with a little revelation that I had last week.

Last weekend, a couple from my church went away for the weekend for their anniversary. I was able to help out by watching two of their children for them while they were gone. I stayed at their house at got a little taste of what it's like to take care of children. As I was getting ready for church, I woke up early to get myself ready before getting the kids up. I was making muffins for breakfast, but it took me a little bit longer than I thought to mix the dough and spoon it into the pans. By the time I was finished and about to put them in the oven, I realized that I did not have enough time for the muffins to cook before they needed to be ready to eat. I started praying that they would cook quickly. As I was praying I went to wake the children up to get ready for church. One of them had already woken up, but the other was still sleeping. I went up to wake her up, and then came down to get the other ready. I was so busy getting the kids ready for church that I did not have time to doubt if God would get the muffins cooked.

So my revelation is this...

Perhaps the busyness of motherhood helps to build up our faith. We do not have the time to doubt God.

Just something to think about.

Anyway, back to today.

I got my first real flat tire today. And the air was leaking very quickly. I got my truck home and refilled the tire. I prayed the entire way to the local Co-Op that I would be able to get there without it going completely flat.

Prayer works. Just saying.

I got there without the tire getting too flat. Almost as soon as I got there, though, the tire went flat. But I DID get there. More correctly, God got me there.

Just one way God is working in my life at the present moment.

Thanks for reading.

In God, Emily

Waiting- Acts 1:1-14

We wait for so many things in this life. We wait for birthdays, Christmas, driver's licenses, high school graduation, college graduation, marriage, kids, retirement. As Christians, there is another very important event that we hope and wait for: The return of Christ Jesus our Lord.  One part of Scripture that tells us about His return is Acts 1 (we will focus on verses 1-14). Verse 11 specifically tells us that Jesus will return in the same way He left.  Acts 1:10-11 - "And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.'" While we wait, God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us, to lead us and guide us through life here on earth. To be baptized with the Holy Spirit (verse 5...

Living the Life

A couple months ago I was wearing a t-shirt that my mom got me at a Beth Moore conference we attended last year.  If you are not familiar with Beth Moore, her ministry is called Living Proof Ministries.  The t-shirt said, "I'm living proof." I had someone come up to me and ask what it said.  Then she asked what I was living proof of. Her question threw me off guard. What am I living proof of? I stammered out an answer.  Something along the lines of, "I'm living proof of God working in my life." That answer was not necessarily wrong. But as a mature Christian, why did I not have an answered prepared?  I knew what the shirt said.  I should have been ready to answer such a question.   As Christians, we wear certain things, such as our "Christian" t-shirts, or we act certain ways or do certain things, like praying before we eat.  We should be ready to give a reason for any of these things at any moment. The bible tells us to, " p...

"The Lord is here…"

I was reading about a missionary in Guatemala earlier. This missionary was telling a story about a time when they were building a church in the town they were working in. The building was set to start at nine in the morning. When the missionary arrived at 10, she asked the pastor if he was there working alone. Listen to the pastor's reply: "'Oh no,' he replied with a laugh, 'the Lord is here with me.'" How profound. How simple. How true. Thanks for reading. In God, Emily
