My 25th birthday was last week. At first, I was going to do 25 things I loved about myself to celebrate my birthday...but then I decided that 25 was a little much and that I might not be able to think up that many things!  I am going to take this time to appreciate the things that I love about myself. Every woman should do this! I must say that I am not trying to be conceited or brag on myself, I am only teaching myself to love ME! Top 10 Things I Love About Me  10 - My choice in men. Bahahaha! I love my husband. :)  9 - My musical ability. Well, all I can do is play the piano, but I can play it darn good!  8 - My way with people. In my most recent job (and especially through the training aspect) I have realized that some people do not converse easily with strangers. I don't seem to have a problem with this! In fact, I enjoy talking with people.  7 - My family. I am so glad I came from where I did! I wouldn't trade my family for anything.  6 - M...

The Bible study that I am currently doing now is taking me through the Lord's prayer and showing me what each part means. The Lord's prayer is a group of "index sentences" which is supposed to show us HOW to pray (not necessarily WHAT to pray). By following these index sentences, you can then fully grasp the greatness and power of prayer. Today I was looking at "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." I can quote the entire Lord's prayer (although I think I only know King James Version!) but have I ever stopped to really think about what that means? I did today! For one, this short sentence is way of saying, "Jesus we can't wait for Your return so that Your will may be done on the new earth with You as our King." It's also saying..."while I'm waiting for that to happen, I will be submissive to your will in my life." Submission, not an easy task...for some anyway. Matthew 7:21 is a real kicker if you think about...

How is your prayer life?  I ask this because I am currently reading a book and doing a study on prayer. I am trying to strengthen my prayer life. As I'm learning, prayer is our connection to God...when we pray He takes us in His outstretched arms and holds us while we talk and listen to Him. I feel like I'm one of those people whose relationship with God goes in waves. If there's trouble or I need something from Him, then I'm praying and reading that Bible of mine. Before we moved and then once we got here, I was very diligent and disciplined about prayer. I have a prayer journal that I wrote in nearly every day. However, things are becoming routine here now. We've been here almost five months and we are settled into our new life. Why is it that when our lives become routine, we tend to slack off with God? Do you do this also? Or is it just me? You can look at other things in my life and notice how I am becoming a slacker! I worked so hard over the summer and wa...
