Here we go again and again and again and again......
Here we are, beginning another New Year. This year I am going to be better, lose 15
pounds, read my Bible daily, plan our dinners and budget our money better than
last year….OOOO that was last year! And the year before that and the year
before that. Isn’t that how we all think?
If I could just lose some weight.
If I could just read my Bible every day.
If I could just plan our meals I would save money and lose weight! If I could budget my money better I would be
able to give to those special last minute offerings at church or help a family
in need, BUT I purchased items that were on sale and I really didn’t need. By the time I get up in the mornings at 5 am;
drive to town to exercise with the girls at 5:30 for 30 to 45 minutes, drive
back home, shower, have a cup of coffee, listen to the news, get back in my
truck, drive back to town, go to the post office, then to the Gin office, drive
to Kennett, go to that post office, go to two different banks to make deposits,
and then land at the Gin office in Kennett my day is half gone! Once again, I started my day off without
talking to the Lord, seeking His will for my day or even reading His love
letters. I have to ponder, while sitting
in that old gin office, how would my day have been different if I had started
it off by thanking God for another day.
Another day to be able to tell others about His love for them and to
give someone who is hurting, depressed or sick a Love Letter that would change
their life forever. I am going to do
better, I am going to do better, I am going to do better, we are going to do
better, WE are going to do better.
So, here goes everything.
I am going to do better with this blog.
I am going to be posting scripture that helps me, inspires me, motives
me, and that shames me. I am going to be
posting healthy recipes that I love, that I have created or that I have found
and want to try. I am going to be
posting updates from Rebuild, Renew and Restore group when we meet on Tuesday’s
at 6:30 pm at the Rector First Baptist Church.
I would love comments from all of you.
If you liked the recipes, if the scripture touched your heart, your
hurts, desires and plans for seeking God this year. Every year it seems on January 1 I am pushing
Re-set and what I really want to push is OK WHAT IS NEXT. Let’s do this together….
Tuesday January 13, 2015 will be the first meeting of
REBUILD, RENEW AND RESTORE at the Rector First Baptist Church. We will be meeting at 6:30 pm, in the
exercise room which is down the hall of the gym. I know that I am not the only women in Rector
needing to be REBUILT, RENEWED AND RESTORED, so why not go on the this journey
together? Here are some things we will talking
about:
1.
Are you joyful?
Are you happy? Is this where you
thought your life would be when you graduated high school?
2.
Do those things really matter? Do they really matter to God? Aren’t we being a little self-centered when
we desire those things instead of focusing on “Things of God”?
3.
What do you desire for yourself?
4.
Are you healthy?
5.
How are
your finances?
6.
Are you and God where you really want to
be? Do you desire MORE? More from
church? More from the so called Christians who go to church?
7.
Do you just feel helpless? No good? Unworthy?
8.
Keeping under the radar works best for you; you
really don’t want people to see or notice you because then reality just hits
your square in the face and you MIGHT have to do something about it…
9.
Do you just want loved? Do you need some romance? So love letters would be nice!
10.
Do you believe God really had or has a plan for
your life? Really??
We are going to start there.
Then in following weeks, we are going to visit some amazing women we
will share their knowledge with us, their wisdom and we will leave them humbled
and in awe of God. We will learn some
cooking tips, exercise tips, money tips…We will be visiting with God every
week, seeking Him, and thanking Him for His Son Jesus.
We will meet every 2nd, 3th and 4th
Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM. What
about the 1st Tuesday?? Well, that is WMU and you are welcome to
come to that too!!!
This week’s scripture memory verse is:
Isaiah 61:4
They will rebuild the
ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the
ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
