Restoring All Things Girls

God uses an infinite number of vehicles in the process of helping us grow. I do not know of any means that leads to instant growth.  I've never met anyone who became instantly mature.  It's a painstaking process that God takes us through, and it includes such things as waiting, failing, losing, and being misunderstood-each one calling for extra doses of perseverance.   Christian growth comes through hard-core, gutsy perseverance Apply your heart to discipline and your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12 By:  Bedside Blessings

Something Beautiful Something Good All My Confusion He Understood All I Have To Offer Him Is Brokenness And Strife But  God Made Something Beautiful   Of My Life To Those Who Are Broken And Barren God Is Able

  Psalm 17:15, NKJV As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the  Lord  with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.   In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.   Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the  Lord , and depart from evil. Lean not on your own understanding: Give it to Jesus, he is our advocate. Stop trying to figure things out. Rest in His love for you.  In all your ways acknowledge him: Invite God into the situation. Tell God you need him. Surrender it all to Jesus. Repent for any wrong doing on your behalf. Ask God to purify your heart and help you live for him. Be not wise in your own eyes: Don't try to fix it - Give it completely to God - release it - trust God - move on - God sees the bigger picture - live your life.

Just had the privilege to see a mighty man of God going to visit his beloved in the hospital.  He had just been buzzed in the door to ICU, and was headed to see  his bride.  In his eyes and voice were two undeniable emotions.  The love for his sweet bride was piercing, even in just a few brief moments.  His heartache over her illness and desire to see her restored to health was just as transparent. God immediately showed me a picture of Himself and His love and concern for HIS bride, the church.  His love for her is undeniable.  Who else would die for the bride but someone who was enamored with her and is willing to sacrifice whatever necessary for her to be His, to thrive, and to survive? He is passionate about her.  He knows what is in her best interest.  He tarries and hovers and cares for her.  He protects and guards her.   He is heart broken over her illnesses.  When she hurts he hurts. What illnesses you ask?...

Romans 1:16 KJV For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Did you know that in 1647, early American settlers passed the " Old Satan Deluder Act " to encourage children's education so they could learn to read the Bible? Christian educator Tim Hoy  says: "One of the earliest education laws in our country was passed by the early settlers in 1647, called the 'Old Satan Deluder Act.' The settlers came to America to escape religious and political persecution in Europe. They believed that the persecutions (acts carried out under Satan's delusion) were allowed to take place because of the populace's illiteracy in general and biblical illiteracy in particular. To combat a possible repeat of history in the new land, the settlers mandated that communities with at least 50 families must sponsor a teacher; they must establish a grammar ...

One of my favorite moments from “Anne of Green Gables” is when Anne says to Marilla, “Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” I love it because it is such a simple thought, yet so profound when viewed in light of the pardon purchased for us by the blood of Christ. Many times we live in the shadows of guilt and shame from our sins and mistakes from the past instead of simply believing that, in Christ, we have been completely forgiven and set free. We allow sins from the past to drive a wedge between us and intimacy with Jesus. I have seen that when I allow the voice of guilt to whisper to my soul, I end up wallowing in defeat and meditating on all that I’ve done wrong, which leads to an inward and self-focused perspective and not a Christ-focused existence. However dark your sins might be, there is not one too dark that it cannot be washed white as snow by the blood of Jesus. As Christians, all our sins have been effectively dealt with ...
