Colossians 3:23-24


23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

The above verse has been one of my main goals this year.  All that I do, I want to do it for Jesus.  That includes thanking Him for all the blessings He has given me.

626.  Being able to read with friends through the Bible in 90 Days.

627.  My Bible.

628.  Reading the bible with my children.

629.  Learning to memorize scripture with my children.

630.  Bringing baked goods to church for members and visitors.

631.  Talking with visitors at our church.

632.  Spending a snow day with the family.

633.  What the children laugh as they sled down the hill.

634.  An unexpected gift card from a loving family.

635.  Safe trip to and from the dentist.

636.  An unplanned visit from a blogging friend and her family.

637.  Blogging friend’s children and my children laughing and playing together.

638.  The promise and plans to visit each other again soon.

639.  A pastor who is not afraid to preach the truth.

640.  A much needed afternoon nap.

I hope you will consider joining me and the others at A Holy Experience!

Seeking God and giving Him ALL the Glory

Seeking God and giving Him ALL the Glory
iFellowship

I have set down several times over the last few days and just haven’t known what to write about.  I have been meaning to sit down and write about my goals for our family, goals for our homeschooling and goals for my blog.  However, life has just happened and I have been doing what I am supposed to do.  Tending to my hubby and my children.  God is first in my life and then my husband and my children.  I told myself once the new year was here, that they would be my focus.

Since getting my priorities straight, two verses have come to my mind.


1 Chronicles 22:19


19 Now set your mind and heart to seek the LORD your God. Arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God may be brought into a house built for the name of the LORD.”


and

1 Corinthians 10:31


 31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

So what does these two verses mean to me?  It means that I need to seek God in everything I do and everything that I do, I need to do it for the glory of God.  I love my hubby and children.  I want them to know that I do.  While I can tell them daily that I love them, I also need to show them by blessing our home.  That means taking care.  It also means that I do ALL of it for the glory of God.  You see, God has given me everything that I have, including my hubby and my children.  I am so thankful for the loving, merciful God we have.  It is my goal daily, to live for God and God alone.  Not man.

Blessings!

Bible in 90 Days

Bible in 90 Days

Another one of my goals for the year is to read the bible in 90 Days. (I really need to get my goal post written and posted!) Anyhow, I have joined a wonderful group of ladies from The Homeschool Village and other blogs to do this the first 90 days of the year. Today is Day 1 and I am so excited! We will be reading Genesis 1:1-Genesis 16:16.

There are a couple of reasons that I want to do this. First off, and this is hard for me to say, I have never read the bible completely through. Oh sure I have read quite a few scriptures, but as for reading cover to cover, I have never done that. Secondly, I want to read every word that God inspired his chosen ones to write. The only way I can teach others about Jesus, is to be knowledgeable in His word. There will be a couple of verses I will be clinging to, getting myself through this.

2 Timothy 2:15
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

and

Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Jezamama is leading our group. She has some great tips for those who want to read the bible in 90 days. Actually, they are great tips for anyone who wants to read the bible completely through!

If you decide to read through the bible this year, I would be more than happy to help be an encouragement to you. It is important for God’s children to know His word!
