BRING ON THE WEEKEND BABY!!

Yea baby yea!! It's weekend!

I am so ready for this weekend. I feel like I have been waiting 100 years for the weekend. This week has just been so long - I can't understand why.

My kiddos are coming home today!! The house has been very quiet without them. And you know, I know they have watched all kinds of movies I would never let them watch and played playstation games I would not let them play - but I am not going to get all up in their faces about it. I guess she (their mom) lets them watch and play all those things to not be "uncool" with them. I am just going to let it go this time. I will not allow the enemy to get between us with these small things.

On Sunday I am going to watch a Beetles show at the barnyard theater with my mom and some of her friends! I am totally looking forward to that! France plays Italy in the World Cup FINAL on Sunday too - anyone been following the Football?? (The British apparently get pretty miffed if you call it soccer - I learned that while watching "The green Street Hooligans" with Elijah Wood, BRILLIANT movie btw) I am hoping to watch the game - although I will probably be at church.

VIVA LE FRANCE! VIVA!!!

I have no plans for Saturday - just some washing and a bit of housework and so on. As far as I can remember there is nothing on, on Saturday. I am busy reading one of Jody Picoult's books - can't remember what it's called now..... but it is very good. I am looking forward to having some good reading time tomorrow too. I don't get much time to read and if I do get a few hours in I really enjoy it.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Take care, I will be back on Monday again

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN

Lord Jesus,

I pray your protection over all the little children of the world. Protect them form mistreatment, abuse, child labour, war, disease and death. For little ones who have been abused and mistreated we pray for your healing in their spirits and their bodies. For little ones who have been abandoned and are living in the streets we pray your protection and warmth in the cold Lord. We pray that they will find shelters for children where they will be cared for. For all the children who are in orphanages and children’s homes who are waiting and wishing and longing for a home we pray that you would soften the hearts of parents and families to adopt or foster a child. For all the children in war torn countries we pray your protection Lord. For children are the only true innocents Lord and they are the NOW GENERATION not the next generation. Father all those little hearts that don't know you yet - reveal yourself to them Father as you did to me when I was so very young. Open the eyes of the hearts of children in non-Christian countries that they will recognise you as the only true Living God. Raise up soldiers for Your army Lord. Raise up leaders in the countries ALL over the world. Father for each and every child in the world today - born and unborn I pray today. For you love all the children and long for them to be yours. For all the teenagers who are lost and searching and feeling like they don't belong and unloved - reveal yourself to them too Lord - right now Lord, where ever they are at this moment Lord. For Jesus, you were once a child too and understand what is in their little hearts and minds. All any child wants in any language or colour is love and warmth, food in their bellies and a Heavenly Father who loves them. Your love and Protection covers all areas Lord and I pray these things for and over the children of the world. Be with them Father and keep them safe. In Jesus Name,

Amen

Come to Jesus as a little child and have faith in Him as little child, crawl up onto His lap and rest your head on His chest. Listen to His heart speak to yours and know that He is love and He loves you.

He longs to spend time with you like this….. don’t you long for it too?

HOW IS IT THAT WE WHO NEED TO PRAY SO MUCH, PRAY SO LITTLE? YET JESUS WHO NEEDED TO PRAY SO LITTLE PRAYED SO MUCH…?

Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer. There are many verses in the bible which state that Jesus went off alone and prayed. Should we not do the same?
We cannot grow or fulfill the plans He has for us if we don’t spend time in the presence of God. Prayer is a direct line of communication with God.
Spend time in prayer – if Jesus felt the need to do so, shouldn’t we?
Do we pray too little?
Jesus, we would think, should not have needed to pray often because He is God's Son - yet he did. That is why the question comes up, we are the ones who need to pray alot and we don't but Jesus neede to pray so little and he prayed all the time......
Makes you think doesn't it....?

Mat 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.


Mat 14:23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,


Mar 6:46 And after he had taken leave of them, he went up on the mountain to pray.


Luk 5:16 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.


Luk 6:12 In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.


Mat 26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said
to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go over there and pray."


And it was Jesus who taught us to pray the following:

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and
forgive us our tresspasses as we
forgive those who tresspass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom
The Power and the Glory
Forever and ever
Amen

HOW DO YOU SEE JESUS ?

When you think of Jesus, how do you picture Him. Do you ever imagine Him like this:











For a long time I didn’t either. But the more I got to know Him, the more I realized that while He was on earth He was as human as you and me, except for the fact that He was sinless. He got tired and hungry and once He even got angry. Why would He not have felt joy and happiness with laughter too?
Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit and I am convinced He had joy in His heart. He loves us. Think of this, when you think of your children and how much you love them it makes you smile right? That love makes you happy, doesn’t it? How can you love someone and be serious and solemn all the time?
I love Jesus and that love I feel for Him makes me so happy inside and so excited I can just about burst.
We need to see Jesus as a loving God who can laugh with us just as easily as He would comfort us and cry with us. Imagine Jesus laughing and smiling at times – I cannot imagine that for the time He was on earth that He was solemn ALL the time. I am sure there were moments of laughter and happiness, especially among Him and His disciples.









Neh 8:10 ....For the JOY of the Lord is your strength.










Knowing Jesus brings joy and happiness to my life - and I bet, no, I know that these are some of His triats too....

WHO AM I?

I am His Precious Daughter. I am loved by Him unconditionally and I have felt His love and heard Him whisper it in my ear. He always has time for me. He is never too busy when I need to talk. I long to be with Him all the time – I am addicted to Him. I love to worship Him and spend time with Him in prayer. He is the greatest Father so loving and gentle. I can tell Him everything and He will never judge me. He will not love me less because of what I may have done before. He is my Great Eternal Constant the Lover of My Soul. The one I will turn to whenever I need comfort. I can confide in Him and talk to Him and He listens intently to every word. He knows my heart, my dreams and my desires. He knows every hair on my head. He knew me and had planned my life with good works for me to do even before I was formed in my mother’s womb!! My face is constantly before Him because He has carved it into the palm of His hand. He has blessed me with talents to use only for His glory. When I tell Him I love Him, His instant response it that He loves me too. I don’t have to wait to hear it and I never doubt it.
Who am I – I am His Beloved. That is what He calls me.






ME !!!!!
