I bet a lot of woman who work outside the home deal with the battle of showing their Christianity on a daily basis.  Wearing it, talking about it, exemplifying it.    The battle of being “in the world and not of the world”.  It’s like wearing a cross.  And I am telling you, in [...]

I have lived in the south now for almost 3 years.  Since then, I have heard a ton of phrases.  Today’s phrase at church was “maybe your as lost as a ball in high weeds”.  Some I like, like “If the horse is dead…dismount”, others I don’t get, maybe because I [...]

Why do I doubt what I know is possible?

Posted by: Patricia on: April 24, 2008

A reposted blog written in January that I enjoyed writing.
Why do we doubt what we know is just possible.  I woke up this morning and He said to me Get up and spend time with me.  And I really just wanted to go back to bed.  So I doze off. So He wakes me again [...]

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Posted by: Patricia on: April 22, 2008

Today is Career Day at school.  Elliot wants to be a Cowboy when she grows up.  Charlie wants to be a butterfly.  On the way to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up? So I said “a mom”.  And they looked so puzzled.  The conversation continued but for the rest [...]

I hope you are being Persecuted!

Posted by: Patricia on: April 20, 2008

Are you being persecuted?? I hope so!  If your not, something is wrong.
I have come to the realization that if I am not being persecuted then I need to think about a few things.   As a Christian,  I  wake up everyday and pray that the work of the sanctifying Spirit makes me more Christ like each day.  I [...]

20 Thoughts

Posted by: Patricia on: April 17, 2008

My friend Amanda in Chattanooga sent me an e-mail last night.  Some of them are really worth thinking about.  Here it is:
1. Faith is the ability to Not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn’t pray.  If you prayed, don’t worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda like calling home everyday.
4. Blessed are the flexible, [...]

It could be today!!

Posted by: Patricia on: April 14, 2008

In Philippians chapter 1, one of the best scriptures leaps off the page every time  For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am [...]

Shout to the World

Posted by: Patricia on: April 13, 2008

It’s Sunday morning when I am writing this.  I want to DVR a show for the kids later, but my DVR is full.  So I went to go delete this weeks American Idol but before I did I stopped to watch them sing Shout to the Lord again.  I know all this stuff is floating around [...]

Keep Kids Safe

Posted by: Patricia on: April 10, 2008

My family recently watched this video called  Stranger Safety.
It was created by John Walsh and Julie Clark.  I don’t have to tell you that a parents worst fear is a Missing Child.  This video is absolutely amazing.  It talks about your “don’t knows” your “kind of knows”.  Your “safe side adults”.  It is a video [...]
