Answer the call

Our theme for the new year in church is "Answer the Call"~
In the past few weeks we have heard about four people that God called in a special way. These messages have been a huge blessing to me.
The one that God used the most in my life was about Martha.

Luke 10:40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said,
Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her
therefore that she help me.
Luke 10:41 And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:

The point was "Don't just do something, sit there!"

Will I ever really learn to CONTINUALLY "Be still and know that I am God"?

It is the prayer of my heart to trust the Lord, trust Him even when all is falling to pieces about me. To take time to sit at His feet and learn of Him, and when I am there to not be distracted by anything else. Even "good" things.

The measure of our spirituality is in direct proportion to how much time we spend with Jesus, in the Word.

Is it working again?

For reasons unknown to this technically challenged person, Blogger quit letting me us the "publish post" button. Months ago. All of the sudden it started working again. I think. If you can read this, let me know.

Hey, as my dear, sweet, loving husband says, "I can pick my bloggers again!"...I know, that is really gross, but since only family reads this- you all still love me, right?

On the more serious side, I was praying about some burdens today and the song "God's been Good" started playing. My spirit was immediately revived in me as I reflected on that truth! He is always good and always right!

O.K., I'm off to finish painting my bedroom, doing 4 loads of laundry, cook two more meals for this family of 12, do a reading lesson with 2 boys,...why do I always list what I need to do? Now I only have enough energy to drag myself to the nearest easy chair~ Whoops, there goes my perspective again!

With God all things are possible~ Praising the Lord for His faithfulness
