Monday Thoughts

Motherhood is not for whimps, that's what my mother always told me when I seem to be going through tough times with my children. Well, she is right. I wish my young adult children would obey our wishes. God will see this, and they will be His people and if they walk in all the way God commands them, it may be well with them. Just like my verse of Jeremiah 7:23.

I feel like when you try to bake a cake from scratch and it does turn out, you just say oh well that's okay. But with kids I can not just turn my head and say that is okay. I have to keep baking and trying as a Mother, even though I'm older and tired of it. I must try again, and pray and memorize my verses for wisdom.

My new verse of the week is this: Daniel 2:20-21 "Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons he removes Kings and set up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. Daniel 2:20-21

God can change things for my family, I'm seeking wisdom with my new memorizing verses for the year 2010, and I'm very excited about it. It is wisdom and calming to know, God changes times and season, he removes kings and sets up kings.

My prayer is to bring my adult boys to Jesus and bring wisdom to their hearts not folly. Just like my Pastor said this past Sunday, when he was teaching us about the woman wisdom and the woman folly in Proverbs 9. Great sermon, thanks Pastor James.

Blessed be the name of God, forever and every to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. Daniel 2:20-21

He Knows My Name

He knows my name, He made me, He planned my whole life. I did not have a very kind childhood, which someday I will share. Right now in my life, I'm having trouble with some family issues, which are very sad and unkind too. But I have hope.

While doing the dishes this morning, I had a wonderful thought, I'm sure from my Creator, who loves me. If God helped me through my childhood troubles, and answered some of my childhood prayers, then He can do it for me again as an adult. I must remember to have faith and to remember He knows my name. I must be patient, kind, gentle and relaxed among others and to keep helping my church with dinners, with my scrapbooking etc.

I must remember He knows my name!

In Christ Alone,
