As Long As There Are Tests In School, There Will Be Prayer

     Often times I think of that one lady who put all her efforts into getting prayer out of schools.   Funny thing to me is that her efforts were truly in vain.  She forgot one big thing.  In order to remove prayer she would have also had to remove tests, I am sure as long as there are test being given there will be students whispering a prayer. 

     That old saying, you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl, well that same concept applies to a Christians and Prayer.  There will always be times when a need arises and a true Child of God will call on him for help, that is just the way it is.  Without fail, God will be there to answer that prayer as well.   It may not always be the answer we are seeking for but it is His answer.  When we ask for something, we have to be prepared for any possible answer.   Rest assured the answer you get will be the perfect answer to your prayer.  We have to learn to accept it...that's all. 

     We find in the King James Version of the Bible prayer is referred to 500 times.  Here are just a few verses for you to enjoy. 


     In James 5:15-16 we read that ... "the prayer of faith shall save the sick , and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed .   The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Keep Me Safe Till The Storm Passes By

Last night one of those unexpected storms blew in.  The girls and I were in all snuggled in my big old bed feeling nice and warm and secure when it began.  The thunder rolled, lightning flashes were big and bright, and then from out of nowhere there was a sound, like a mighty rushing wind.  It was getting closer and closer...kinda sounded like a train rushing around the house.  I looked out and couldn't see anything.  Haley was tossing and turning, Erin was sleeping like a baby, and  I of course was wide awake…making sure we were all safe and sound.  I looked on my cell phone weather bug and there were no warnings or alerts, it just showed rain.  I laid there for a few wondering if I should wake the kids out of a sweet sleep to move them to the basement. 

Those of you, who know me, know by now that I put a spiritual spin on everything, trying to apply it to life.  So with that being said, this storm outside made me think about our duties as a Christian.  If we are awake in our Christian walk and others may be sleeping or perhaps just dozing off a bit, do we stand by and watch them as the storms begin to consume their life?  Do we let the rain soak them or offer them an umbrella?   When the winds begin to blow do we let it over take them blowing them farther and farther away or do we offer them shelter, a place to come in out of the winds and rain?  When we hit treacherous times, tornado stage....do we take cover only for ourselves or do we warn them around us who may not know or even be aware of what’s going on around them because of any numerous things.  You may ask, "how could we not know there’s a storm coming?" Perhaps someone is working in a building with no windows so they don’t see any signs or even hear any sounds alerting them of any possible danger.  We have to warn others of the storms in life when we see the signs.  We have to tell other people who may not be strong enough in their own faith.  We have to help those who have a need.  We can’t wait until it they reach sudden destruction, and a possible time of no recovery.  Psalms 55:8 tells us “I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest” Sometimes even the strongest of Christians get weak and need the help of other believers.   So we have to help others when the time is at hand making a possible way of escape for them.   Isaiah 25:4 tells us ” For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.” 

A childhood song is brought to mind, if we all pull together how happy we will be!  We have to help one another, lift up one another up.  I am thankful someone cared for me when I started my walk with the Lord.  I am even more thankful that there are still folks today who take the time to help when I may be feeling down.  We all need a friend at times and we all need to be a friend from time to time. 

Psalms 107:29 tells us “He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still .” Needless to say the storm passed and we were safe. Thank God that someone’s prayers reached Heaven and we were safe through the night. 

Pray all my readers can say the same thing.  If you know someone going thru a storm in their life today reach out to them.  Share the words from the Bible with them, pray for them and be a shoulder they can cry on.  You never know whose life you can touch!

Below is a link to a song I love...I am not sure who that singer is but listen to the words.  Till The Storm Passes By

If you are facing a storm in your life today know that Jesus cares, He loves you and He can bring your through!  Tell Him your concerns and he can help you get through this trial of your faith!  He can keep you safe till the storm passes by!

Press Toward The Mark!

Seems As If This Girl Is Always Movin On! 

Looking back thru my rear view mirror there are many fun things to see. Perhaps over the course of time we will do just that!  Be sure to check often for current happenings and to see what has brought me to where I am today!  There have been tough times and encouraging times.  Through it all I have become a stronger individual and better person today!   Life is what you make it and you can make it a good life!  An automobile takes us places just as with life.  There is a reason when traveling that we go forward looking thru a large glass also known as our windshield.  It is there to protect us but also give us a larger view.  There is also a reason that our rearview mirror is so small.  It is there as a reminder us of things that are behind us but not to focus on it.  If we spend too much time looking back we will lose our sights on what's ahead!  Phillipians 3:13-14 says, "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. "  So with that being said... Just take a glance back and then continue to press forward!
