Learning To Wrestle

. . . in prayer.

A number of my post lately have been about learning to rest in Jesus and His Word (which is why I named this blog as I did) . . . learning to "dwell" in Him and trust Him in everything. So what does wrestling have to do with it? . . .

What Does It Mean To Love God?

This last weekend was our girls teen winter camp. We had ten girls and had a great time - LOTS of laughter! But there were some things that made me sad and got me thinking . . . . Don't worry, though, I'm only going to share one of them with you. :0)

One of our memory verses for the winter camps has been Luke 10:27, "...You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind...". Unfortunately we didn't really get to talk about the verse until Sunday morning, but it was an enlightening conversation . . .

Effervescent

I don’t like to read directions, but usually I do when I’m putting something medicinal into my mouth . . .

A couple days ago I stopped by some friends house and mentioned that my brothers were sick with the bug that’s going around. They asked if we had any Airborne and the wife ran to get me some. They mentioned that my sister and I should probably take one so that we don’t catch the “bug”, and sent me home with a whole bottle of it. . . .

Two Years And Counting! :0)

"I thought I'd have to wait until Heaven if I was ever going to enjoy another piece of chocolate..."

That’s what I wrote on my blog two years ago. I went on to say . . .

Precious Thoughts

"You ever try to count the sand?" . . . The kids always laugh at that question (and for good reason!). :0) This verse has always been a special verse, but for 2 years my family went to different Good News Clubs, here in our area, and did interviews with the children. Part of the "interview" included going through Psalm 139 with them and showing them how much God knows, cares, and thinks about them. Their eyes would get so big as they began to think about how much sand there really is in the world, and then realize that God thinks about each one of us more than that sum total. What an AMAZING God!! :0)

Focus

(I was reminded yesterday about how important focus is and thought I'd share this post I wrote last October.)

I've been think about focus a lot lately . . . . and how much it really does matter what we focus on. It's so easy for me to have my focus in the wrong place, and then my thoughts are in the wrong place, and my attitude suffers . . . When I keep my focus on Jesus, I can always have a smile in my heart. :0)  . . .

What Are YOU Obsessed With?

(originally posted Jan. 25th on my other blog)

Considering all my thoughts lately, on being obsessed with Jesus

(loving Him with ALL my heart, mind, soul, and strength),

this caught my eye today while working at the Gleaners . . . .

Oh to be completely obsessed with Christ, and Him alone! :0)
