Its Hard Waiting

This Christ walk I'm on ain't easy. I have doubts. Not about who God is to me and what He has done for me. But about the process. Sometimes I struggle with the waiting. God promises to take care of you and lead you in down the right path. But He doesn't reveal things right away. Sometimes He shows you ahead of time but more often then not He doesn't.

I am one that struggles with patience. I have very little of it. Its a terrible thing. Its one of the fruits of the spirit that I have yet to master.

Waiting on the Lord is hard because we are people who live in a world of instant gratification. We want it and we want it now. God doesn't work that way. If He places a desire within you He will grant you that thing but in His perfect timing.

I know that He knows when I'm ready for things and that everything happens for a reason but its INCREDIBLY hard. Knowing that God will do it and then trusting He will are two different skill sets.

But I'm trying. *sigh* All I know is that when God does bless me with what I'm waiting for I will appreciate it and cherish it all the more because I waited on Him for it.

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Is the Bible Misogynistic?

I read in the Facebook comments of an article that God is misogynistic and it troubled my spirit. I am all about girl power. And I have always believed that women are just as important to God as men. We are all God's children. If the Bible and therefore God is misogynistic how could I believe in that? The fact is, I have never believed that the Bible or God is misogynistic. Why? It’s simple really. God says that there are two great commandments and one of them is love your neighbor as yourself ( Matthew 22:35-40 ). If I truly live this commandment I could not be misogynistic because I would treat others the way I want to be treated; with respect, kindness, love and without prejudice. Using the logic from one if I’m not following that commandment I’m sinning and sin is not of God because He is sinless ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 ). If God is not sinless than the Bible, His Word is not true and the whole basis of the Christian faith is moot and therefore none of it is true ( 2 Timothy...
