Love On

In summarizing 1 John 2,  questions came to mind.

1.   Why am I so eadily offended? 
2.  What are the 10 commandments? 
3.  What is the lust of flesh, lust of eyes and pride of life?

Answered prayer

Wow wow wow

I have been feeling like all of my prayers have been going unanswered....

A few days ago as  I was reading Messy Beautiful Love, A chapter called Give up your right to be right...I was struggling internally with what the author  was saying.

Love does not boast...it takes pleasure in him....   they went on to say to esteem others higher than yourself.

As I read this... I was feeling agitated..... my prayer was Lord... what about me? Who is going to fill me? 

In the still quiet.... not audibly but definately  there.... God said, "I will".

I doubted.

But....God is good all the time and all the time God is good.   In the last few days, i have received cards and small gifts from co-workers.  Words of encouragement.....   thank you Jesus for loving me enough to send people to fill me.  Even Debbie.... so far away...turned our picture into her profile picture.   You are a good and generous God. 

Day 6

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;   in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Lord, I am seeking you.  I am trusting you to make my marraige something that glorifies you.  Forgive my doubt.  

Wow

Once again Craig and I are back where we always end up. Money...

I  am reading  Messy Beautiful Love ... the chapter is talking about what love is....

Patient
Kind-  Craig has never accused me of being kind... Lord I know I am quick to talk, and am sometimes , ok oftentimes unkind.  I want to be kind as you see kindness.  Where I am weak please be strong.
Does not envy
Does not boast- Lord, please show me how to not be boastful but to take pleasure in Craig.
Is not proud.... esteem others as higher than yourself.  This sometimes makes me nervous or anxious.... what about me? What about my boundaries?  Who is going to fill me?   As I was asking this question,God answered in the quietness of my heart.... jesus said....Let ME.....    how can that happen?  Only in prayer and worship.  

Forgive me

http://bible.com/111/HEB13.4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Bible.com/app

Father, I have sinned against you, myself and Ray.  Please forgive me.   Jesus I continued to sin, even while single.   Sexual sin is so ...... have I also caused my husband to sin?

For this child I have prayed

1 Samuel 1:10-18, 28 NIV

In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord , weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “ Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.” As she kept on praying to the Lord , Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard. Eli thought she was drunk and said to her, “How long are you going to stay drunk? Put away your wine.” “Not so, my lord,” Hannah replied, “I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I was pouring out my soul to the Lord . Do not take your servant for a wicked woman; I have been praying here out of my great anguish and grief.” Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.” She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast. So now I give him to the Lord . For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord .” And he worshiped the Lord there.
