I just came over from Runner Mom and I loved your comments there. I love what you want to do with a ladies group and will come along side you to pray for that direction. While the party girl in me loves to be entertained the teacher in me knows that we women can party without help but this generation of women needs the truths of Jesus bad!

We need to know how to be Godly women! We need to know and truly believe that Jesus loves us and only wants our best. That He will stop at nothing to give us the best for us! Even when it doesn't look like what we believe is the best for us.

Anyway I just wanted to come by and encourage you! I will be praying!

Just stopping in to say "THANKS" for the comments you left at my blog. I see you're at "Laced With Grace." I was featured there one day but I TOTALLY missed it! (I found it later) I guess I've not hung out enough there to know how it's supposed to work?

Anyway, I'll scoot on over and check you out there!

LOVE YOU!; October 6, 2008 at 2:27 PM
Paula said...: Hi again my friend! Your post at Laced With Grace is amazing. We do try too hard as humans to do it all, and take it all on. We just aren't built like that. I look at the world now and feel sad that alot of people don't know that they have someone at their fingertips who can do it all for them. That is where we, as Christians, must show them by being an example and sharing God's goodness with them, and the joy that comes from believing in Jesus.

I love watching The Passion of the Christ from time to time so that I'm reminded of all that Jesus gave for us to make our lives free and less burdensome. His passion was, and is, us and we must never forget that. If we do, and if we keep trying to do it all, then His walk up the hill carrying the cross, and then dying on it for us, was all in vain.

Thank you for a wonderful post. Love In Him, Paula :-) xo; October 7, 2008 at 2:25 AM

Motivation for this Blog:
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: `Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.' Jeremiah 30:2
Mission of this Blog:
I want my posts to be about God and to be about YOU...touching you in some way to enrich your life, strengthen your walk, encourage your heart, or enlighten your mind. This is a ministry for me...to write from my heart what the Lord speaks to me...to be a vessel that God uses for YOU.
From the heart of Paula:
Aspiring to be more in Him.
Desiring to grow closer to Him.
Transpiring to be the person He's called me to

Godly Aphorisms

God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close.

God always gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

There is no greater loneliness than the loneliness that comes from being locked into my own purposes and my own desires.

A season of suffering is a small price to pay for a clear view of God.

Sometimes God calms the storms... Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child.

The only real control we have is to decide to give up control. If we relax our grip, God takes over.

Satan schemes, God redeems.

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust Him fully and let go. Only one of two things will happen, either He'll catch you when you fall, or He'll teach you how to fly!

God's Word

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:21-22

God is who He says He is.
God can do what He says He can do.
I am who God says I am.
I can do all things through Christ.
God's Word is alive and active in me.
I'm Believing God!
~~Beth Moore
I try to determine what I can do to remedy the problem. I waste time wishing things were different. When what I should be doing is giving God the opportunity to do His work. Worrying will not change a thing, but faith can change everything.
