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

"I See You"

A lot has happened in the last few months.  I may post more of an update on that later, but, for your information, we picked up our daughter right before Thanksgiving. As our daughter has grown, my husband has found a sure way to make her giggle that adorable little laugh.    EVERY TIME.    He looks at her and simply says, “I see you!”    I love to hear that little giggle.    It could go on for days.    Matt looks at her and says it.    She giggles.    He pulls back and then leans in again.    He repeats the words.    She giggles.    As I was thinking and contemplating this the other day, it came to me.    That is what every little girl wants – to be seen by her daddy. How true this is for every child of God as well.    We want to know that we are seen by God.  What better way to love someone than by letting them know that they are SEEN. ...

Waiting through the Night

I'm going through a bible study with a couple of friends.  This bible study led us to Exodus 14, which is where God leads Moses to part the Red Sea for the Israelites to flee from the Egyptians. I love how the Holy Spirit works and draws out different parts of the scriptures at different times in our lives.  Before I began studying, I prayed that God would show me something, that He would meet me right there in His Word. Exodus 14:15-31 (ESV, emphasis mine) 15 The Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. 16     Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel    may go through the sea on dry ground. 17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that           they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his           horsemen. ...

Spheres of Influence

This is the lesson that I taught a couple of weeks ago at our women's night at church.  It's the last lesson I'm going to have from the class for awhile, as I am stepping down from the position for awhile. ....................................................................................................................................................................................................... I started out naming some local (and not local) people to see if anyone knew them.  Some of the names only one person knew, some a couple of people knew, and some all of them knew.              Do you guys see a pattern here?  Some of these people, only one person in here knew.  Some of them, a few people might know.  Some of them, just about everyone knows. Tonight, I’d like to talk about our spheres of influence as Christians.   Each of us has a circle ...
