Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommys out there. The ones with one child all the way to the ones with many, many children. Yes, Michelle Duggar is expecting again. This will be their 18th child. Wow. She is a huge example of what a mother is suppose to be. Their children seem very joyful and happy. The love of Christ speaks loudly in their lives. Does everyone need to be a mother of 18 to be a great mother? No, of course not. Having the love of Christ is the only way any mother can be successful. It is really sad to see some mothers struggling with their one or two children. Why is this? Probably because the lies of this society have consumed their minds as to why they need to complain and gripe about their blessings. Here are the lies they have believed: 1. Have one or two children because it is to expensive to have more. 2. Children ruin your body. 3. How can you enjoy life when you have many children. 4. I want to enjoy my latter years (vacation, cruises, etc...) ...

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

Redemption--what a beautiful word to those that understand why Jesus came to die on the Cross.  Why did he come?  Do we know what the Good News really is?  Why do we see sick Christians?  Poor Christians?  Christians suffering?  We might simply say "It is God's will." or "It is persecution."  or "This is just my destiny."   I have had questions all my Christian walk as to why bad things happen to Christians or why are some Christians struggling with money or why do some Christians lose loved ones to sickness or other tragedy (accidents and such)?  I had and still am asking questions to the Lord.  Since we have Holy Spirit, then we can trust He will answer.  But how does he answer?  The Word.   As I dig deep and read, the God I have come to know and read about is wonderful.  He is all about good things: deliverance, abundant life, victory, and any great thing you can think about.  The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy.  God is not the destroyer.  W...

Babies: A perfect gift from the Father

How I love my baby!!!  We are so blessed with such a good boy in our lives.  Ephraim is such a joy in my life.  These tender moments make it all worth it.  He is our seventh child.  Often times I think about the "what if" we had stopped having children after one, two, or even the sixth.  No little baby Ephraim to look at, smile, and even laugh with. What precious moments to share with this little one.  To sing to and play with, to talk with, even though he won't talk back.  But he just smiles the whole time, knowing that I am the one who feeds him, comforts him, and loves him.  I would never, ever do anything to hurt him only want to protect him.   This is like the love of the Father.  Oh how much He comforts us and loves us.  He feeds us and protects us.  Daily!!! He heals all our infirmities (Ps 103).  He comforts us like a mother comforts her wee one.  (Is 66).  He wants to give everything we desire.  He is our Father.   I love Ephraim so much. But just think, the love...

Saturated in The Word

The word of God so holy, so pure, so good.  Truth!!  So needed in the lives of mothers.  Being saturated in the Word takes place constantly.  To survive motherhood we need the Holy Spirit's guidance daily.  So how, can we as mothers saturate ourselves with God's word?  We are very busy women, especially if you have a large family.  Time???  Time for God's word?  Well, uhhh, yeah I pray.  "Lord, help me!!! and change these kids, Lord!!  Lord, are you listening.  I am sacrificing daily to raise Godly children for your kingdom!!  Hello, God are you there."  Sounds oh so familiar.  I've been there done that.  This is why I can talk about it.  My daily time with God had been much out of desperation so I could survive this motherhood thing that he has called me into.  Alot of "help me's" were cried out!!!    Alot of complaining and crying out!!!  David cried out. Yes, but he also declared who God was in his life.    Declarations, confessions, and th...
