Marriage is a 3nity

I got my choir file a few days ago and was more than happy to flip through it. I saw familiar songs and I read the lyrics to this song,"Be Magnified", and felt extremely touched by it. There is nothing that God cannot do, but we so oft limit Him through our unbelieving words. A daily devotional I read asked this weird question - "When is a bird bigger than a mountain?" The answer? "When it is closer." Are we closer to Daddy or to our mountains today? Because our perspective with regards to our trials and tribulations are affected by the relationship we have with Him. If you see the mountains as being bigger, than I urge you to quickly head back into your Abba Father's arms now; just like the Papa in the Prodigal Son parable, our Abba Daddy is scanning the horizon for you and will sprint towards you with sheer joy at your presence. Abide close by Him and you will always see your Heavenly Abba up-close-and-personal, and not "from a distance" as...

When I hear about marriages falling apart around my friends or about how some people struggle with unbelieving spouses, I really feel so grateful to Abba Daddy for Ian. Ian is an extremely supportive and loving husband. He makes me breakfast drinks in the morning, scratches the itch on my back that I can't quite reach, he massaged away a cramp in my foot, prays together with me and for me, anoints me with anointing oil every day before we head out of the house, remembers to slip on my engagement and wedding rings on my finger everyday after bath time, helps me with my housework, encourages me when I feel frustrated, hugs me when I need some love, showers me with kisses, peppers our life with humour and patience, loves my cooking, does washing up because I slaved over the stove/oven for his makan, clears the hair from the bath tub, LOVES KAE A LOT, helps me shower and change Kae on busy days, lets me sleep in if I am exhausted (coz I worked late on some stuff) whilst he settles the ...

All Around Me Take my hand I give it to you Now you own me All I am Children are always being told, “Hold my hand”—when in stores, crossing streets, or sometimes just when they need to be led. Children don’t always know which way to go, and without a little guidance they can become lost. Just like children, we often find ourselves lost and not knowing where to turn in our lives. We thought we knew which way we were supposed to go, but now we’re not so sure. Or we knew what God wanted us to do, but chose a different path, convinced that what we wanted was worth it. But God reaches out and tells us to hold his hand. God desires to lead us; all we have to do is take his hand and walk with him. Psalm 37:23-24 The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.

I was doing Quiet Time earlier today when I flipped my bible to Nehemiah 4. My eyes were led to read the following two verses -  Neither I nor my brothers nor my men nor the guards with me took off our clothes; each had his weapon, even when he went for water.  - Nehemiah 4:23 Each builder wore his sword at his side as he worked - Nehemiah 4:18  It was truly food for thought as I wondered how many of us stay in our spiritual armor with our sword at our side as we go about our daily lives?  This seems to be a follow-up thought that is somehow linked to my blog entry yesterday on making time for Christ. =D  I was led later to check out again Ephesians 6:11, which further reminds us to "put on the FULL armor of God so that you can fights against the devil's evil tricks".   According to Ephesians, this is our Spiritual Armor - Belt of Truth Breastplate of Righteousness Feet shod with the Good News Shield of Faith Helmet of Salvation Sword of the Spirit (ie the Word of God) T...

An interesting dilemma has popped up in the governments of Canada & Australia - should the LORD's prayer be abolished, or even - gasp - rewritten??? The LORD's prayer is recited at the beginning of their legislative assemblies, but there have been cries for the practice to be terminated. These outcries are in Canberra,Australia and Ontario,Canada .  Quebec in Canada is seeing a similar up-in-arms to remove the Christian symbol of the crucifix from its National Assembly. Briefly - "A Canadian Jew says public Christianity infringes on his religious freedom. Henry Freitag is on a righteous campaign to eliminate all religious expressions from every level of Canadian government. The septuagenarian Jewish resident from Penetanguishene, Ont., who immigrated to Canada in 1956, does not attempt to hide his zeal. Last year he persuaded the Ontario Court of Appeal to rule out reciting the prayer at all Ontario city council meetings, regardless of public opinion." "If O...

Perfect love casts off all fear and anxiety- when you know how much Jesus loves you,  you will come to be in His Shalom. The word SHALOM means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, and the absence of agitation or discord. Remember that though the financial analysts and doctors paint a bleak picture, that you can choose to focus on what they say or on the promises your Heavenly Dad has made to you - "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."- Jer 29:11 We are in Christ, and as Christ is so are we in THIS world. It is interesting how bible emphasizes that it is talking about THIS world not the Kingdom to come. Healing, Provision is for THIS world. Many people think that the wholeness and peace is for when Christ comes again, but Christ knows our every need. "The LORD is my shep...

Hungribunni  Says:  Your comment is awaiting moderation.   October 28th, 2008 at 6:40 pm Was reading the comments of the various people here and I see many familiar names. I used to come from a Roman Catholic Church where I frowned upon talk of prosperity teachings and tithing. I used to think the protestant church was cheating its members of money - thanks to wrong thoughts planted in my head. It took time to learn what tithing truly is and how to have a heart of worship, even tho’ I truly felt like I had a relationship going with Christ from young. I then went on to attend an AOG church which focused a lot on the Purpose-Driven life, but left me feeling empty and feeling like I needed to do something for Christ or I’d be spiritually in debt to Him. My hubby and I were dating then and we both agree that those days we felt fed and then not fed. There was spiritual hunger but the Church’s teaching was works-driven in many ways, tho’ there was some teachings on grace… so we became spirit...
