As a busy mom and wife, I realized over the last couple of days that I need to slow down, love and respect what God has given me and not try to be the best of everything but be myself. (Thanks again, Kim).
Last night, our pastor took his sermon from Deuteronomy 10:11, But the lord said to me,' Get up and lead the people into the land I swore to give their ancestors, so they may take possession of it.' this is out of the new living translation.
He went on to say that we should learn a kingdom phrase...I can't stay here, I'm heading out. This hit me like a rock. I have so bogged down with LIFE and had allowed myself to almost drown in self pity but after last night i can honestly say I am NOT staying in this state of mind and situation but I am heading out. If you are going through something today just constantly say this............I CAN'T STAY HERE, I AM HEADING OUT.
As I looked at this verse this morning I continued to read on through verses 12-13. "12 And now, Isreal, what does the lord your God require of you? He requires you to fear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all your heart and soul,13 and to obey the Lord's commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good.
How often we complicate faith with man-made rules, regulations and requirements. Are you frustrated and burned out from trying to please God? Concentrate on his real requiremnts and find peace. I AM.
Until next time RESPECT, FOLLOW, LOVE, WORSHIP AND OBEY.

Okay, bear with me, I am new at this but here we go,
I am a busy mom of 3 wonderful sons (typical but overall wonderful). Mikey 17, is a rising senior, Derek 15, a sophmore and then we have Carson 8, a 3rd grader. As you can see, I have my hands full of all boys and need all the christian advice I can get. I am married to a police officer and my family is my life, my world, my everything. So enough about them.....so what can I say about ME.
Well as you can see, my header (or whatever you call it) is titled I have a purpose. I want you to know that it has taken me 37 years to realize this. Ya know, God made me the way I am because I am ME, created in his image. For so long now I have been battling with low self-esteem and always worried about what someone was saying about me. With the mighty help of my lord Jesus Christ I am starting to ovecome this metality. I have been put on this earth with a purpose and I need to start declaring this. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family, no we don't have the best of everything but we have each other. See, no matter how hard I try, my thoughts always lead me back to family. They are my heart.
Well, I will try to post more later, just wanted to get my blog started and look forward to hearing from other women like me that are taking life one day at a time and living knowing they have a PURPOSE.
