The Ultimate Test
I was thinking about them today! (trials) wondering why we go through them. I had to ask myself the questions....Why do we have to endure them. Well as I was doing my daily reading of the Bible I came across the answer to my question. In Genesis there was a man maned Abraham. He was a pretty decent guy, Married ,one son, he lived a pretty normal life. But one day God tested Abraham's faith. He asked Him to take his only son,whom he loved An go to Moriah and sacrifice him. can you picture this? what are you thinking God how can you ask me to sacrifice my only son?? What kind of God are you? But what is amazing to me is that he never once questioned God. Not even a little bit. He just said ok I will do this because I am choosing to serve you lord and to do as you ask me. But let's remember his son. what was his son thinking? He thought he was just going along on a nice trip with his dad to worship god with a sacrifice. he had no idea that the sacrifice was going to be him. . He had no idea what was really going to happen. So when they got to the place were the lord told them to go, Isaac his son asks we have the wood and the fire, but where is the lamb for the sacrifice? (Are you picturing this with me???) Isaac must have been a little bit nervous about what was going on don't you think?) get this Abraham's response was"God himself will provide the lamb" so Isaac must have thought "oh ok. we'll just wait here for the lamb" but then his own father bound him with rope and placed him on the altar that he had built. Isaac must have thought that his father had lost his mind. But there were no complaints (at least the Bible doesn't record it) right when Abrahan pulled out his knife and was just about ready to kill his own son he heard a voice calling his name. It was the angle of the Lord. The angle said to him "do not lay a hand on your son, do not do anything to him, Now I know that you fear God because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son." And then BAA BAA BAA!!! over in the thorns was a lamb. A sacrificial Lamb. slain in place of Isaac. I bet Isaac let out a big sigh of relief! As I am sure Abraham did too!! But the point is that God tests us sometimes . He does not tempt us but tests us. He wants our faith to be completely in Him. He doesn't want us to try to handle things on our own, because we mess it up. He wants us to have complete and utter faith in HIM. this was the ultimate test of one man's faith. He came out on top!! He passed the test with flying colors. Can we say that ? Do we depend on God to provide a lamb for us! I hope that I can pass God's testing of me what ever he brings my way I hope I can pass with flying colors.

Another day in mommy land
Well nothing exciting happening today other than the usual ......cleaning the bathroom, laundry, vacuuming, doing the dishes (I don't have a dish washer)all the stuff I hate doing but for what ever reason it has become my wife and motherly duty! I do really wish that I liked to clean but I don't! so not a long blog today but I did find this verse that Hit me today. I think that God has a sense of humor!!! Or he just wanted me to learn something from this verse!
Philippians 2:14- 15 Do everything without complaining or arguing!!! so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe.

I'm Invisible
I got this in am e-mail, but I have heard before at a women's conference called Women of Faith!
Ladt who acted this little story out was great her name is Nicole Johnson!
It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store.Inside I'm thinking, 'Can't you see I'm on the phone?' Obviously not; no one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking,or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner,because no one can see me at all. I'm invisible. The invisible Mom.Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more:Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this?Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm a clock to ask, 'What time is it?' I'm a satellite guide to answer, 'What number is the Disney Channel?' I'm a car to order, 'Right around 5:30, please.'I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum laude - but now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen again. She's going, she's going, she's gone!One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a friend from England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was sitting there, looking around at the others all put together so well. It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself as I looked down at my out-of-style dress; it was the only thing I could find that was clean. My unwashed hair was pulled up in a hair clip and I was afraid I could actually smell peanut butter in it. I was feeling pretty pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a beautifully wrapped package, and said, 'I brought you this.' It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn't exactly sure why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription: 'To Charlotte, with admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees.'In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would discover what would become for me, life-changing truths, after which I could pattern my work: No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we have no record of their names. These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished. They made great sacrifices and expected no credit The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything. A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, 'Why are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by the roof? No one will ever see it.'And the workman replied, 'Because God sees.' I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place. It was almost as if I heard God whispering to me, 'I see you, Charlotte. I see the sacrifices you make every day,even when no one around you does. No act of kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no cupcake you've baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will become.'At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction . But it is not a disease that is erasing my life.It is the cure for the disease of my own self-centeredness It is the antidote to my strong, stubborn pride. I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder. As one of the people who show up at a job that they will never see finished, to work on something that their name will never be on. The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime, because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, 'My mom gets up at 4 in the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for three hours and presses all the linens for the table.' That would mean I'd built a shrine or a monument to myself. I just want him to want to come home. And then, if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add, 'You're gonna love it there.'As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we're doing it right.And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women. Great Job, MOM!

Humility...Is it for you?
Being humble....think about it how many of us are really humble? Its hard to be in this world, I think. I would like to say that I try to be but to be honest its hard. We all can get prideful sometimes. We can get prideful about an accomplishment, a job promotion, some new material thing that we just purchased at the store. Or if you are like me I get prideful when I beat my husband at a min-golf game!:) I look at some of the teenagers today they are prideful, they think that they are invincible. I am thinking of one teenager that I know that every time he gets something new whether it be a watch or a shirt, or shoes he always tells whoever will pay attention to him how he bought it with his own money and how much it cost and how wonderful it is that he has money so that he can buy thing like that. Its sad to think that our whole existence can be prideful! I read some verse in the Bible about being prideful and being humble and I think these verse will give us all a dose of humble -pie!
Matthew 18:4 -Therefor, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew23:12-For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Proverbs16;19-Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
James 4:6 But he gives us more grace, That is why scripture says, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
1Peter 5:6-Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
Being Humble~~~~~Lord, help me to be humble in all I do and say. Help me to be lowly in spirit, help me to never get prideful but give all the glory to You and You alone!
Matthew 18:4 -Therefor, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew23:12-For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

Being Humble~~~~~Lord, help me to be humble in all I do and say. Help me to be lowly in spirit, help me to never get prideful but give all the glory to You and You alone!

Do you believe in miracle's?
Have you ever witnessed a miracle? I have witnessed two! Although most people would not consider them miracles but modern medicine. But I have two stories that I would like to share with you ...or should I say miracles!! 
I'll start with the one that has effected me personally. My son. When he was born he was given a clean bill of health. He was a normal newborn. All ten toes and ten fingers, normal weight and height, nothing out of the ordinary, until the day after he was born. He pediatrician came into check him out and us that he was in great health other than he had a heart murmur. He said alot of babies are born with them but by the time they leave the hospital they have gone away. great i thought no big deal! But then it came time to leave the hospital, the pediatrician had to come in and check him again before leaving the hospital. He said that he still heard the murmur but it should be fine but to be safe he wanted us to bring him to his office in two weeks. I thought ok no big deal. so we enjoyed our first two weeks with our new son. we took him to the pediatrician two Weeks later for his appointment. he looked him over and listened to his heart again, he had a funny look on his face, and told us that to be safe he wanted us to see a pediatric cardiologist. because his murmur had not gone away. At this point i still was not thinking that anything was wrong, he just had a murmur it would go away. so a few days later we went to see the cardiologist, boy was I in for the shock of my life. They did a whole bunch of test on our 3 week old baby, ekg, sonogram. needless to say my Son was not happy camper with everyone poking at him. so after all the test we were told to sit in the room and the Doctor would be in soon. so I tried to quiet my son down. then what seemed like forever the Doctor came in sat down and looked at his chart and just started talking, all i heard was hole in his heart and open heart surgery! WHAT WAS HE TALKING ABOUT!!!!! So my husband in his own way (if you know him you will know what i am talking about) said "Hold on, back up, why does he need surgery" and the Doctor just said I'll explain it to you so he drew a picture of what was suppose to be a heart but it like more like a drawing of a three year old if you ask me! but he did his best to explain it to us but we are not doctor's and apparently he though that we were because we had not idea what he was talking about. so my husband voiced his opinion to who was in charge and from then on they were very clear with us and made sure that we understood everything. Samuel was born with a ventricular septal defect. which is basically a whole in his heart between the two pumping chambers, so the whole allows the blue and red blood mix. which makes it hard for the blood to get to the lungs so his lungs were working overtime! we were very devastated by this news, but we new that it had to be done sooner than later because the end result would be that he would have a very hard time breathing and could even lead to death. we were given all kinds of info and because of the lawsuits that people make against hospitals these days , the doctors are required to tell you every worse possible case scenario. so we were told that because they have to stop his heart to do the surgery that there is a potential of him not waking up, because he was so small he would need a blood transfusion so he could get aids, so as you can imagine this was a very hard time for us. after a long 2 months of testing and surgery prep, we had set the date for the end of march I think it was the 28th. but one day in late February of 2005 I received a call from the hospital asking me if I would want to move his surgery to march 8th . I was shocked I didn't know whether to say yes or no. I had to have time to prepare myself for what was going to happen to my son! so after a long talk with my husband we decided to say yes to get it over with! So on March 8th 2005 my son who was two weeks shy of being 3 months old went to the hospital for open heart surgery!! after not sleeping at all that night and just crying for my son! i was amazed at how calm I was some very close Friends of ours and our family came to be with us! I was glad to have them there. the interns(its a teaching hospital) came and introduced them selves to us. they seemed nice enough. then the Doctor came and introduced himself , He was so nice I felt that God had hand picked him(he was the best doctor that did this kind of surgery)when the nurse cam and took my son from my arm's I was calm but afraid. He was sound asleep. the nurse put him up on her shoulders and as they were walking away through the doors to the surgery room ,my son opened his eyes and looked up at us as if to say mommy,daddy I will be ok! I will never forget that look! to make a very long story short he came through his surgery with flying colors!!! He doctor's all told us how surprised they were at how well he did. He was in the nicu for about two days and then was sent to a regular room. people all over were praying for my son. even one lady who's son was in the niu as well with a brain tumor(he was about 8 years old) not sure if her own son was going live or not she was praying for my son! How humbling that was to me. to make an even longer story short my son is now 3 years old and is healthy as any little boy can be! He still goes for check-ups but only every two years now. the last check-up he had was last Christmas 2006 and they told us that if they didn't know that he had the surgery they would never have know anything was wrong with his heart! Praise God! so you see I have witnessed a miracle!!! Every time I look into my son's eyes and see that sparkle! I know he is a miracle and God has great plans for him!
The next Miracle is about a man who only a month ago fell 30 feet off of the roof of the house he was building for his soon to be wife and him . He landed right on his head, and had severe trauma to his head and lungs. (I will keep this one short) He was not doing well at all and was in very serious condition. but to the doctor's surprise he had no broken bone and no spinal injuries. well its been a long 4 weeks but he is now out of the trauma unit and is breathing and eating on his own and talking, His family is amazed at the progress he has made in just a few short weeks. h still has some rehab to do he will have to learn how to do things again, but for the most part is healing and getting better everyday!
God is still in the business of doing Miracles my Friends!!! So why should we be surprised when our prayers are answered and healing has come when it's not expected? We all need to have a little more faith in God, He knows what he is doing, let's leave it all up to him.
Mark 9:24 "Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe: help me overcome my unbelief."
I think we all should pray what this man prayed when he witnessed Jesus heal his son!!
I'll start with the one that has effected me personally. My son. When he was born he was given a clean bill of health. He was a normal newborn.

One of my Friends e-mailed this to me I thought ti was nice so I posted it!
I have been doing some thinking....
I was pondering the other day about my life thus far.. almost 31 years to be exact. I was wondering if I could go back what would I change or what wouldn't I change. I came with a lot of things that I would change, but then I realized that all those situations in my life were designed by God to grow my faith and grow closer to him! sometimes I mess up and then wonder why did I do that, sometimes I try to do what is right but things end up messed up. For instance I had a problem with someone who was close to me so I tried to resolve it by telling this person how I had had negative feelings towards her. But despite my yearning of wanted to do the right thing it turned into a big mess. then I wonder why did I event try to do the right thing. But now I know that it forced me to be a stronger person. because I had to make the first move towards doing the right thing. In the end this person still has not acknowledge anything negative between us but I still have to see her so its making me stronger and forcing me to me the better person. so I know that I have done the right thing so know all I can do is pray for her even when I don't want to and guess what it works!!! I the Bible is right when is says pray for your enemies!! she isn't an enemy per-say but we defiantly have not gotten along the past several years. Does this make any sense. well I think this verse sums it up.
" And when you stand praying, If you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you." Mark 11:25
Jesus forgave those who wronged him even when He was hanging on the cross dieing for me!! I should always do the same! Forgiveness is a very important thing in this life! everyday I ask God to forgive me for the things that I did that I know are wrong and even for the things I don't. And know that he died to save me from my sins helps me sleep easier at night! Thank- you Jesus fro taking my place on the cross, Thank- you Jesus for forgiving me of my wrongs, and thank you for loving with an Everlasting Love.

Peaceful Sleeper
Aren't kids so cute when they are sleeping! last night I was checking my e-mails and putting laundry away, and when I went downstairs my sweet little boy was curled up sound asleep on his daddy's lap! Those are the best moments! Sometimes we take them for granted. I try not to take anything for granted when it comes to my son, but sometimes life gets in the way or i am frustrated about something, but just alittle piece of advice cherish every moment with your children you never know when it may be your last.
Always remember that children are a blessing form the Lord!!! Even when they are driving us crazy!! :)

Let is snow ,let it snow
Well I just come inside from shoveling out part of the drive way!(my husband is sick) I can't believe that he shovels the whole thing ! Its hard work. We are getting a winter storm here so far about 8 inches and its still snowing!! oh well! Its pretty! On another note I have a question for you who have children. where any of you r kids afraid of the vacuum? My son is terrified of it! a few minutes ago he was getting he little chair from the corner and must have hit the on button on my dust buster! He went into a panic and ran to the stairs and just cried out of terror! I felt so bad . When I vacuum he always sits on the couch and holds his ears!
Mrs. dorky musician, does your kids react this way? just wondering. well I am off to finish my laundry, then I have to put clean sheets on the bed. I really need the sign that says"My house was clean yesterday, Sorry you missed it"!!

Thanks Johnny-Boy
Thanks to my good friend's husband for giving me the idea of adventures in mommy land!!! I forgot how fun it was to blog! So what am I doing today?? Hmmm let me see.... I have to do the normal stay at home mom duties, Laundry,cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, and so on! I have to post this though my son is three years old and He says the cutest things! yesterday he told him "Mommy thanks for being my best friend today" My little guy has such a tender heart. My husband has been sick so the last week and everynight my son says "Daddy let me sing you a special song so you will feel better." so he sang a son to him that my husband say to him when he was baby! It was so cute!
Psalm 127:3-5
Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame when they contented with their enemies in the gate.
