Living Proof Live (part 2)

Well, I hope you all enjoyed part 1, cause here’s part 2 for you! I’m just going to dive right in to the next point.

# 3. God NEVER overlooks a single “me” in the bigger “we”. – Isn’t that so great? It really doesn’t matter who you are, what your job is, where you live, how much money you make, God does not overlook anyone. We are all valuable to him and he has a plan for each one of our lives. It sometimes seems though, that he uses the ‘little person’ in a bigger way. Take Luke for example: He was not a disciple, he never witnessed Jesus’s miracles (he was a 2nd generation Christian), yet God used him to write the Gospel of Luke and the book of Acts. Luke was just another ‘little person’ but he allowed himself to be used by God. He was just an ‘also’ as Beth put it. Here are some verses that mention ‘also’: Luke 12:8, John 10:16, John 14:19, Romans 8:30, Romans 8:32, 1 Corinthians 6:14, Ephesians 1:13, 2 Timothy 2:2, 1 John 1:3, Colossians 3:4 and 2 Timothy 4:7-8.( I was going to type them out for you, but then I thought that it would be better if you would find and read them in your own Bible).  After reading these verses,  I’m even more encouraged that God can use me. So, if God can use a doctor like Luke to do mighty things, how much more can He use you? Will you allow yourself to be used by Him, even in a small way? Each part that we play, big or small, is part of the ‘big’ plan.

#4. Jesus became a friend of sinners, so that we could become a friend of God.  Jesus could have ignored the poor, and sinful. Instead, he chose to draw close to them and offer them the gift that only he could give, the gift of salvation. He showed grace to the sinners, grace that you and I need on a regular basis. Grace that we have to give, if we want to receive it. There are people in this world who choose not to give you grace and enjoy having this power over you.  However, we overcome this through the call to love. When we love them and show them our love, they no longer have a hold on us.  They lose all power over us because we don’t allow it. We become ‘bigger’ simply by loving them and showing them our love.

 

I have 3 more points to share with you! I hope to post them soon!

My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.                     Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.    Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not.  Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage. But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free! I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge. I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour.  This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot o...

Lets see how this goes...

Well, I've just started my blog and seeing as how I'm new at this it might take me a few tries before I get the hang of it.    At the end of January my husband and & I decided it was time to add another member to our family.No we were not thinking of having another baby as we already have 2 kids and a dog I have enough to keep me busy. We decided to sponsor a child. This decision involved alot of research into different organizations until we finally settled on Compassion. The reason we picked Compassion was because it takes care of all the other needs of the child but the most important one is that they focus on the teaching of Christ.They work within the local christian church and all the children that are in the Compassion program go to sunday school and are taught about Jesus. This was the most important thing to us.       So, now that we have the organization how do you choose which child? They all need help. I'm a terrible decision maker as...
