~~~~***WELCOME***~~~~

Just a short note from some thoughts I heard the other day, I thought they were good....

We ought to look at everyone and everything through The Eyes Of  Scripture and not our own fallible and irrational fleshly eyes...Yes, this takes time but, when we do it , it takes the responsibility off our flesh(which always steers us wrong anyhows) and puts the responsibility on our Spirit/soul...the part of us (if were truly in Gods hands) that is saved until the day of redemption...

We then wont get frustrated/exhausted with our flesh, and we will see things the way Our Heavenly Father does...

Granted we wont do this overnight, it takes discipline and perseverance to conform our flesh into the image of The God we say we serve....

No, it is not easy, but, the joy and ease with which we can then serve our fellow man and our neighbor as ourself...

Can we ???

 

 

bye for now...

Don't forget to pass the word along about the story when my hubby died and

 saw Jesus...

 

this Friday I will share that story(which is true)...

~~~~***WELCOME***~~~~

HI !!! 

 Welcome to The Contented Woman blog...PLEASE  feel free to browse all of my articles...

 

This article is from the book by Debi Pearle...

"Created to be his helpmeet"...

 

May you enjoy and be convicted at the same time by what you read so that yo want to follow Jesus closer than ever, and ask Him to help you change...

The Hall

There is no permanent cure for genital herpes and many other forms of STDs. Yet one in five young teens in the USA has a sexually transmitted disease. Many statistics also tell us that one in four little girls will be sexually "messed with" by the time they are four years old. One in five little boys will be victims of homosexual abuse. Our children are in grave danger in todays world, not only from emotional trauma, but also from many of these diseases.

   How many times will your little toddler wander down the hall(while you sit in a roomful of friends engrossed in a video)before some young "trustworthy" teenage boy slips silently behind him or her and maneuvers her into the bathroom for a four minute "session"? You cannot pray and expect God for supernatural intervention and protection. God has already provided that for her through you. You can and must pray for God to make you a more attentive and sober parent, that you might better protect your children.

 

You are your babies keeper. PLEASE KEEP THEM WELL.

 

 

Hmmmm...I guess that hits it on the spot...if any of you are in this predicament...cry out to YOUR LORD and ask HIM for the strength to obey..

 

 

 

thanks for reading....

PLEASE stay tuned and keep checking back...

 

~~~***WELCOME***~~~~

 

As I read my devotions today, it was soooo good, I thought Id share it with you ...

This is from ..."My Utmost for His Highest"...from Oswald chambers..

 

The Discipline of Spiritual Tenacity

 

"Be still, and know that I am God."

 

Tenacity is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for is going to transpire.

 

Tenacity is more than hanging on, which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to fall off. Tenacity is the supreme effort of a man refusing to believe that his hero is going to be conquered. The greatest fear a man has is not that he will be damned, but that Jesus Christ will be worsted, that the things he stood for---love and justice and forgiveness and kindness among men---will not win out in the end; the things he stands for will look like will-o-the-wisps. Then comes the call to spiritual tenacity, no to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately on the certainty that God is not going to be worsted.

 

If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means that they are being purified. There is nothing noble the human mind has ever hoped for or dreamed of that will not be fulfilled. One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience."

 

 

Remain Spiritually tenacious...

 

 

Bye for now....

~~~~WELCOME~~~~

I came on here early this morning to type the "Created to be His helpmeet" today and found out its on Mondays....OK !!!

 

So...I guess its suppose to be my thoughts...which I did yesterday...boy oh boy! I am beginning to wonder if my brain will ever be back to what it was before hubby passed....being in this state right now is probably the most difficult thing I have ever had to do, but, I KNOW beyond a shadow of doubt that my Lord and Saviour has it all in His plan for His glory and for my good...

 

Have you ever wondered what is going on when all falls apart in your life? I just want to encourage you to NOT go by feelings go by what you read in Gods Word....

 

Hey, lelts read a devotion together this morning/afternoon/evening..from the little book by Oswald Chambers..."My Utmost For His Highest"....

 

Its todays... The Initiative Against Despair....

"Rise , let us be going..."(Matt. 26:46)

     The disiciples went to sleep when they should have kept awake, and when they realized what they had done it produced despair. The sense of the irreparable is apt to make us despair., and we say ---

"Its all up now, it is no use trying any more,"

If we imagine that this kind of despair is exceptional, we are mistaken, it is a very human ordinary experience. Whenever we realize that we have not done that which we had a magnificent opportunity of doing, the we are apt to sink into despair; and Jesus Christ comes and says---"Sleep on now, that opportunity is lost forever, you cannot alter it, but arise and go to the next thing." Let the past sleep on the bosom of Christ, and go out into the irresistible future with Him.

 

   There are experiences like this in each of our lives. We are in despair, the despair that comes from actualities, and we cannot lift ourselves out of it. The disciples in this instance had done a downright unforgivable thing; they had gone to sleep instead of watching with Jesus, but He came with a spiritual initiative against their despair and said---"Arise and do the next thing."

 

    If we are inspired of God, what is the next thing? To trust Him absolutely and to pray on the ground of His Redemption.

 

Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action....

 

Bye for now...

I really don't know if I can do  it or not, but, I do believe that is what my hubby talked about before he died, that, he wanted me to really know what it meant to "Follow Jesus"....Do You ?
 

What is it going to take each of us to get to Heaven?

Can we fiddle around and half heartedly try, can we make fun of those who want to try and not come up alongside them and help them...? 

Can we afford to "not like" someone?

Can we say it and not live it? 
I don't know what it is going to take for you , but, for me, I know I had better fall on my knees and repent and try to

Welcome to all who are reading my blog...

"The Contented Woman"

 

 

 

and this is in no means the ONLY way to lead someone to Salvation....

 

 

The following Scriptures are known as the Roman Road to Salvation. They are Scriptures from the book of Romans which show God's wondrous way of salvation. It is important that we know these Scriptures. It is most important that our children know these Scriptures. It shows them the way to experience salvation through Jesus Christ. It shows them how to lead another person to Christ.

It is so sad that many Christians today do not even know Scriptures that can help lead someone to Christ. When I talk to young people I find that most of them don't even know these Scriptures, and these are young people who have been brought up in homeschooling families. This is unbelievable! Don't let this be the testimony of your children.

I will list the Scriptures for you. Print them out. Go through them with your children. If they have not yet received Christ into their lives as their Lord and Savior, encourage them to do this. If they are already born again, they need to not only know about, but to memorize these Scriptures so they are equipped to lead another person to Jesus.

1. All have sinned
We have all sinned and therefore fall short of God's standard.
Romans 3:10; 3:23; and 5:12

2. There is a penalty for sin.
If we remain in our sin, we will die, but if we repent and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will have eternal life.
Romans 6:23

3. Christ died for us
Even though we are sinners, God loves us and sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die in our place and take the punishment of sin.
Romans 5:8

4. Call upon the Lord
We must call upon the Lord. God promises that when we call upon the name of the Lord we will be saved. There is no other name through which we can receive salvation.
Romans 10:13

5. We must believe and confess
We must believe in our hearts that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again for our sins (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), but we must also confess out loud with our mouth that He is Lord and Savior.
Romans 10: 9, 10

6. It's a faith walk
We receive God's salvation by faith. When we are saved, we keep walking by faith which grows stronger as we read God's Word every day.
Romans 10:17

If you have never received Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God into your life and been born again, or if your children are not yet born again, here is a prayer to pray:

"Dear Father, I know that I have sinned and deserve the punishment of my sin which is death. But I thank you that you died in my place and took my sin upon yourself as you died upon the cross and shed your precious blood. Please forgive me for my sin and cleanse me with your precious blood. I thank you that you died, were buried, and rose again for me. I ask you to come into my life and to be Lord of my life. I confess right now that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND SAVIOR OF MY LIFE. Amen.,"

When you are born again into God's family, you are a new baby in Christ. A baby only grows by drinking milk. The more you feed from God's Word the more you will grow strong in your faith and in your walk with God. Read God's Word daily.
