What is "Our Part"?

     Each of us has a purpose to follow here in this life. We can get so busy with all the tasks that call us to fulfill them that we end up with no time to accomplish the things we need to really be focused on.
Everyone around us has many options where we can do something in their lives and make a change. Our motivation should be to hear what "Our Part" is to do. We do "Our Part, if we step outside of that we are no longer on our purpose but working on someone else's purpose. You probably have heard the phrase "Stay in your lane". This is a good application here. If we step out of what is "Our Part" we step out of the place that God has designed for us therefore the favor, grace, and even our skill and ability to fulfill the task(s) before us, is not enough to accomplish all that God has for us and then also cover someone else's part too. That is when we get frustrated and get ourselves into trouble trying to do more than we should -not just "Our Part."

This sounds like it is very simple, but we must always remember before we choose to help someone that we ask this question. "Is it what God would have me to do." Sometimes that is something that is very clearly obvious to help someone on simple things. What I am referring to is in larger things like paying their utility bill or inviting them into your home to stay for a period of time.
These situations where you place yourself or family at risk to help someone else. If you know that God  spoke to you to do it, then He will help you, protect you and cover the situation in His Grace. I think this is a good place to be led by the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit will never lead usto do something that does not agree with the Word of God. That is a promise. He(the Holy Spirit) is always in agreement with the word of God.
So we pray and find out Gods will for our lives and for these situations. He wants to communicate with us and spend time with us. The Bible says if we ask He will answer. Call on Him today and find out His plan for your 2018.
For all who are led by the Holy Spirit are sons of God.

He Fights to Destroy!!

                                                              Fight what you can't see. Do you ever feel like you are having to fight something you don't see to make things happen? Do you seem to have a struggle of some kind each time you attempt to progress your life forward or to follow the things of God?  You know the world around you doesn't always want you to succeed. There are many different challenges we face whose purpose is to prevent us from knowing who we are and to keep us from finding what our skills are. There are so many different things that present themselves to us that would like to be "the real thing". The thing that is "truth" and that we can say "hey this is what I base my principles and life on as guidelines to set the standard for my values and decisions, and it is right." When we look a...

Day 2

Well it's been a few days since I posted anything. We have been really involved in many things going on. My daughter and her family were here a few days and boy does that change things up. It is a delight to have them over. We have so much fun with them playing, chasing, tickling, teasing and watching their expressions and responses as they learn. We can never get enough of them.  The babies are our grand-babies. River will be 1 year old in 5 days and Roman is 3.  Having children that young around, our schedule is adjusted differently than what has become normal for us. It takes a different type of expectations and schedule for the littles because their needs are so many and become priority.  Yes, that does mean sacrifice. Oh wait that is the meaning of parenting isn't it? Ha! Who knew parenting would be described as sacrifice and work. The rewards are so much greater than what the sacrifices are and also last much longer. I love being a parent.  I have enjoy...

How Super is Super-Man

Super-Man has so much trouble with his decisions. He had no Alfred or Jarvis, but he sometimes listened to Batman or his current sidekick. His sidekicks were temporary, and he usually turns away those that offer to help him on a long-term basis. Except for his dog, Krypto. He acts like he needs only himself but comes up short each time. Lois Lane has him wrapped around her finger, so he does crazy stuff for her that benefits only her and gets others killed or injured. He does not think clearly when it comes to her. Superman needs a consistent friend that can be there and put up with his foolishness and pride. Even more than the Justice League. He has them trying to help him figure out this human thing. He had an identity crisis for most of his life. Sound familiar? We as earthlings find ourselves dealing with this as well. The world is constantly telling us who we are or whom we are supposed to be. The Holy Spirit is the Word of God. He is alive and will speak to us to tell u...
