If HIS People....

2 Chronicals 7:14 says: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

I think in a time when 33 senators can vote against English as an official language for the USA, that a female and a muslim are running for president, the current Christian presidant can't return to office, war is raging with the threat of nuclear bombs, mothers have the "right" to choose life or death for their unborn child, and famine and death reign, IT IS TIME TO PRAY!!

It is TIME!! It is time for those who know they are called by the name of the Almighty, the ruler and creator of this Earth to come together, to collectively cry out to the father in humility. I belive that means saying we don't know how to fix it. It is time to pray, better yet call out to the father from a humble heart fervently praying for our country. It is time to seek the face of God! It's time to put away the foolishness that has ruined this land. What is that foolishness? Sin!

It is time to put away the bitterness between brothers in Christ; time to quit bickering between denominations, time to stop fighting within families. After all, a house divided among itself can't stand up against an enemy. Can't we sometimes just agree to disagree? Let's quit agruing about whether a female can wear makeup or not and start reaching the lost. Let's burn our list of do's and dont's and lets replace them with lists of why we love our God.

Anyway, I know I am on a soapbox.....

I may not be big enough to chane anything about this country but I know my God is big enough! So all I can do is seek his face and pray. What should we pray? I don't have all the right anwsers but I can tell you this is what I am going to pray right now.

Lord, it's me. Thank you you calling me into your family. I know that I am daughter of the most high God, ruler and creator of this world. Right now that same world is in some pretty bad trouble. I know that I am not big to change the minds and hearts of anyone, but you are the ruler of the heart. I am not in a position politically to change any about this country. Lord, many of the men who first ruled this country loved you. When they established this country it was in your name. Forgive my generation and those before me that are trying to take out You out of the foundations of our free lifes. Show your soms and daughters how to strategically keep you in our land. Lord, I know you have placed men and women amoung the ranks of politicians that control our country. I don't know their names, but I pray for each and every one of them. I pray that each and every day you will give them the courage and the strength to make the Godly decisions and to stand by their beliefes and to not fall into the enemys grasp of fear and rejection. Lord, I pray these men and women will always feel your strength and guidance with them each and everyday. I also pray for the sons and daugthers around this country that we can collectively seek your face and your heart. May we all stand together unified by prayer lifting up the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray that someday this country can once again glorify your name. In Jesus name, Amen.

Just Venting

okay, so I am having a rough day. Why can't my boys get the potty training thing??? I've tried the "reward program". I am just really frustrated today. I know I just need to calm down take a few deep breaths and relax. In... out... in.... out

okay, now I just want to cry, every other mom has done it. I can too. Just when? When are hey going to get that I am not punishing them by making them use the potty.... it's just life.

OKay, I'm better. you know I think they had a good thing going back in the biblical days. You know back then during a women's "time" every month they were sent from the camp. I think that is a good idea, then no one has to deal with me and I don't have to deal with anyone. Doesn't that sound great?

back to work now.... I just needed a moment to reflect and breath.......
