Since I got laid off last February, I have been substitute teaching. There is a lot of patients required to do that. God has shown favor to me by giving me enough jobs to pay the bills and have a little left over for some fun stuff here and there. I trust in the Lord my God with all my heart and He always provides Read the rest of this entry »

This weekend is Valentine’s Weekend for the most part, even though the day is actually Sunday. In addition to getting away this weekend, celebrating at home, going to dinner, or whatever, make sure that you take the time to thank God for that special someone that you have the pleasure of spending time with.

If you have not met that special someone yet, I myself haven’t either, take the time out to thank God that you are one day closer to finding the person that He wants you to be with. I know that is what I do and I trust God to show me who she is in His time and not mine.

I will return for a new normal post on Monday. If you missed yesterday’s post on Valentine’s Day Ideas, check it out before you leave and maybe even leave a comment.

Valentine’s day is probably the holiday where the most love is shared between a husband and wife.  Hum, what to do this Valentine’s Day.  Have Read the rest of this entry »

I find it funny when people want to put their own plans before God’s plans. I mean I think about it, every now and then I remember that God’s plans are perfect, and mine are usually about me or my family or something else on a small Read the rest of this entry »

When I read this passage in Galatians, God opened my eyes to something. Galatians 4:21-23 reads, “Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? The scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of His promise.”

God has a large plan and many small plans in-between. Since God is God, why would we try to interfere with His plans. God promised Abraham a son. Man, Sarah and Abraham, tried to make God’s promise come true by Abraham sleeping with Hagar who was Read the rest of this entry »

After God finished creating everything, He rested on the Seventh Day, a.k.a. The Sabbath. Even Jesus said in Mark 2:27, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath.”

That interested me. God rested on the seventh day. The first six days He created the earth as we know it and the sun, moon, and stars.

The sabbath is another one of God’s many gifts to us. Even in today’s anti-Christian society, Sunday still manages to be the slowest day. I thank God for Sunday’s because my family and I normally after church take that day to spend together, rest, relax, etc.

I think that it is cool that God, when He created the earth created a day of the week for us to worship Him, rest, go to church, spend time with family, and just take a break from the other 6 days of working and the fast pace world. Our God truly is an awesome God.

Something else my eyes were just opened to was that God Himself set the example for us. God rested on the seventh day.

Please leave me a comment telling me your thoughts.

I thought that Adam and Eve were the first two people on earth. I am coming to find that may not be true. I have recently studied in Genesis and found they may have been, but they may not have. God did show me that there were people on earth besides them though, Adam was just the one whom God breathed the breath of life Read the rest of this entry »

One thing that to this day I do not understand is why some Christians believe the theory of evolution.  Since we have been blogging about God creating the earth, lets look at Genesis 1:20-22.  In the New Living Bible it reads, “Then God said, ‘Let the waters swarm with fish and other life.  Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.’  So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird-each producing offspring of the same kind.  And God saw that it Read the rest of this entry »

When I read Genesis 1:6-8 my eyes were opened to something very interesting. In the New Living Bible Genesis 1:6-8 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.’ And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens. God called the space ‘sky.’ And Read the rest of this entry »

Many things in life we take for granted. One of those things I just realized as I was writing this post and reading in Genesis is day and night. We think day and night were always there, but Genesis 1:3-5 reads, “Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. Then He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness ‘night.’ And everything passed Read the rest of this entry »
