Life is a vapor
After writing my last post we learned that a dear friend and colleague of my husband lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly. Thanksgiving he was there, the next morning she found he had gone in the night. The only hint of anything wrong was that he had not felt like eating much Thanksgiving dinner. They think perhaps he had a viral infection. Please remember Christina and her children in your prayers. People, life on earth is short, but our soul is eternal. Please, please know where your soul will spend eternity.
Life as a Vapor
"Come now, you who say,
"Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow.
You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away." (James 4:13, 14 NAS)
For Thou didst form my inward parts;
Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to Thee,
for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Thy works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from Thee,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth.
Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Thy book they were all written,
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them. (Psalm 139:13-16)

The Soul Longs for God
Our souls were created to love the Lord. When we are not doing this, there is an emptiness that our soul is seeking to fill.
Our life will seem to be missing something very important... and no matter how hard we try we won't be able to fill in that vacant spot. Our soul is yearning; aching, climbing... trying to fly towards God... and we confuse that restlessness for other things.
We have longings we question. We have remorse or a sadness and we think if we just do something different, or find the right hobby or gift, that something will click and that brokenness will be fixed.
But what we really need... what we really yearn for... what we really desire... what we really hope for... what we long for... what we fear... is the Lord!
We don't have to fix the emptiness ourselves. We only have to let go and let God.
Let our souls soar toward Christ, and He will fill that empty space and every need. He completes us!
God created our soul and our sou...
Don't Forget Your Flashlight!
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. (Timothy 3:16,17 - NLT) Today I was reading these verses and wondering... why sometimes someone is a Christian and then one day they wake up and reject the Truth? I wondered how can they leave their First Love? When one has tasted of Christ and known His goodness... how sweet He is... how can they possibly then deny Him? Does not our very being long for Him? Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who trust in him! (Psalm 34:8 - NLT) At first I thought... perhaps He was never their First Love, and they never really knew Him. But then I had another thought. "When do I ever doubt Him?" When I have not spent time with Him in a while! When do we doubt our husbands...

"You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss". Your romance is Casablanca. A classic story of love in trying times, chock full of both cynicism and hope. You obviously believe in true love, but you're also constantly aware of practicality and societal expectations. That's not always fun, but at least it's realistic. Try not to let the Nazis get you down too much. What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love Life? brought to you by Quizilla

I've never been fond of light goldenrod yellow -- but this description fits me to a tee you are light goldenrod yellow #FAFAD2 Your dominant hues are red and green, so you're definately not afraid to get in and stir things up. You have no time for most people's concerns, you'd rather analyze with your head than be held back by some random "gut feeling". Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything. the spacefem.com html color quiz
I'm terza rima , and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?
