Piecing Life Together

May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together-spirit, soul, and body-and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. 1Thessalonians 5:23

I have this book called 100 Favorite Bible Verses but it doesn’t say who the author is but I like the analogy that it put with the verse above.

A jigsaw puzzle is made up of multiple parts. It is only when these parts are put together, when the puzzle is whole and complete, that you see the picture it was designed to display. Your life is the same way. Your life is made up of many complex components: family life, job, hobbies, physical health, emotional state, present circumstances, past experiences, hopes for the future, relationship with God. It would be easy to feel that your life is fragmented, like unconnected pieces of a puzzle that don’t seem to fit. But, that isn’t the way you were designed.

The Rainbow Promise

Unfortunately this is isn't a photo that I took but I still really like it. Seeing a rainbow is always that reminder that God left for us that he would never flood the earth like he did when Noah built the ark.

Slow to Speak and Slow to Become Angry

James 1: 19-20: My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

James is one of my favorite books in the bible. Today I am finding these verses to be even more true. Work can get frustrating sometimes. Sometimes it can feel like people aren't listening. Then when they finally do something I want to tell them 'see, that's what I said'. But then I think of this part of James 1 and stop.

A Positive Movement

It is said that it only takes one. One person to start something, to influence others. This is saying is true and it is something that unfortunately not everyone takes advantage of to use in a positive way.

Rachelle Lefevre is taking advantage of starting a positive movement. Right now Rachelle is most well known for playing the bad vamp., Victoria, in Twilight, the soon to be released New Moon, and in the soon to be filmed Eclipse. She has also had some other roles in her career that I personally have been a fan of like: Stacey Hanson in Big Wolf on Campus, Eloise in See Jane Date, and Georgia in Picking Up & Dropping Off to name a few.

Needing one more day

Tomorrow I will save the world

Tomorrow I will save myself

Tomorrow, Tomorrow I will do it then

First Blog

I don't know that I have a lot to say for my first blog. Today I had Sunday School and we learned about Elijah and Elisha. Elisha like most are today was worried about the future. He had been traveling with Elijah and staying faithful to him and to God but he knew the day was coming that the Lord would take Elijah. Elisha had to learn to hand over his worry and control of an unknown future. This is something that is difficult to do especially in a time that the world is in now. With terrorism, the economy going down and with global warming it would be nice if something was sure in our lives. Elisha gave up his worry. Elijah asked him what he wanted. Elisha told him that he was worried about the future and that he wanted to carry on his ministry.
