"It is Finished" from God

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one get the prize? Run, in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown, that will last forever. Therefore I do no run like a man running aimlessly, I do not fight like a man beating the air. No I beat my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

• This past weekend at church was quite emotional for me. Only God knew my heart at that exact moment because still I cannot find the words to completely wrap around the emotion my heart felt. The Holy Spirit Truly laid powerful emotions on my heart.

• The pastor showed a video as well of a man running a race and all of sudden in the middle of the race his hamstring is torn and he falls to the ground is dropped into last place. He then gets up and starts to limp towards the finish. In the crowd you then see his father come running out while security tries to stop him he runs out and puts his arm around his son and helps him to the finish.

• Well before the video could finish my eyes flooded with water from watching that small clip. God I knew was telling me something. My heart just let all my emotions flood foward. I felt as though my prayer that moment turned into a conversation with God.

• Let me back track for a minute,

Brandon is going into Meps On Thursday, and in the past couple years there always seems to be something that Somehow someway ruins it, I blame it on the Enemy. Anyway, although I feel very confident in him going you know there is just that little whisper telling you "No its not going to happen."

• So Anyway , My conversation with God Went like this " Please God let this be it, let there be nothing more that we must face. Let this be it" God then whispered I think once or Twice "It is finished." Although for a few minutes I still had a hard time Getting my emotions and tears under wrap I calmed down. I knew what God was trying to tell me at that very moment. ALthough I am almost afraid to speak about it at the fear my heart is deceiving me. No, Its not, this is it!!

• Back On January 12th of 09 I posted On another journal site I had written a poem that the Lord laid upon my heart and part of it went like this..

"He tells me, " Do not let the one who brings sorrow and doubt bring you down, You are my Child and are safe with me, He has an end but I your way do not. You live to please me and you are used as a servant to witness, but remember you are not perfect, but ONLY the one that you worship and love is, So remember you will fall and stumble and fall in the path that I paved for you but pick yourself up know that I, your Father, will Carry you!!"

• God has and will always carry me, just like the father did in the video when his son was hurt and needed a hand. I just love how God always comes at the right time and the right moment.

• He then Shared with me this randomly. I opened my bible looked down and read , he told me this about my husband.

Isaiah 48:14

"I, even I, have spoken

yes, I have called him,

I will bring him,

and he will succeed in

his Mission"

• Wow, If that wasnt God telling me something as well then I dont know what is!!

Anyway, I feel exceptionally Close to God Lately and I love it. I feel as though he is hugging me and isnt letting me go.

Atheist Holiday! for Christians!

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAYIn Florida , an atheist created a case against the Easter & Passover holydays.

He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians,Jews and observances of their holy days.

The argument was it was unfair that atheists had no such recognizedday(s).The case was brought before a judge.After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judgebanged his gavel declaring, 'Case dismissed.'

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, 'Yourhonor, how can you possibly dismiss this case?The Christians have Christmas, Easter, etc.

The Jews have Passover, YomKippur, Rosh Hashanah, and Hanukkah.Yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.

judge leaned forward in his chair saying, 'But you do.Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.

'The lawyer said, 'Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observanceor holiday for atheists.'The judge said, 'The calendar shows April 1st is 'April Fools Day.'

Psalm 14:1 states: 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.'Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool.

Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.'AMEN'

Mommy and Baby Outside (Pictures)

Here is my Little One, Joseph Brandon..

My Blessing

He sucks in his bottom lip as he has done that since the day he was born. On this day we were playing in the yard..

This is him crouching down to pick up his ball... Ball is his new favorite word. Only his word for ball is "ba"

I love him!

He loves to be outside... and Loves to walk outside drop one toy and then go back inside and drop another toy outside and so on and so on. Sooner or later I finally figure out what he is doing. More messes to clean, does it ever end?

This is him kissing the Sliding glass door to go outside.. with his baby infant hat on that I came across organizing his clothes. He is so sweet!

Tagged!!

So basically with this one, we're supposed to pick out the closest book to us, turn to page 56 and type out a few lines.

So here we go.

The closest book to me is Dangerous Grounds by Lary Bond.. this is my Step Dad's

Pg.5

may she ever go to sea:

The Naval Submarine Base New London is located on the eastern Shore of the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut. It has been there since the 1860's, although Jerry couldnt remember the Exact date. More important, it had been a sub base since WWI. Nearly two dozen nuclear subs were based there, all of them attack boats, SSNs, with the exception of the Deep-diving research sub NR-1.

Definitely not my kinda book!

And now I get to tag 5 other of my bloggers:

While I'm Waiting On your Lord!

Ater watching Fire Proof I have been absolutely obsessed with the song By John Waller " While Im waiting" and it has really hit Home for me and what I am going through right now. I posted some of the Lyrics.

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently,
I will wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I feel like this Song speaks to me so much. Especially with everything I have been going through with waiting on my husband to get in the Air Force. Alot of people say " You know what if It is just not for him" But In my heart I know its God's Calling. I try so hard to brush comments off but It really eats at me. Sometimes I wish I could Pick up the Pieces for Him but I know I cannot.. It is his calling. I just want so badly to see him take off and sore.. and I find my self sometimes Begging to God and not just asking for it.

What I was saying though about this song talking to me is that I have been so Patient and I have been so Hopeful.. and I have tried to be confident and alot of the time I feel broken down by people who think Im crazy for my beliefs on life and future. Its not easy for Me by any means because I wish I could just show everyone How I can home school, and my son wont be "weird" and w/o a "social life" but to me you know his salvation is so much more important to me then Him being friends with the whole school. How I can be a homemaker and How I want my son to learn Creationism. I want to be able to profess the name of Jesus Christ and not feel awkward with people everytime I do. I want to be able to have rules in my life.. The rules of God. Im tired of people using curse words in front of my baby an I cannot wait for the day when I can stand on two feet and respected.

I find my self talking to God just hoping and Praying for my life to Change. I want so badly for something to happen in this life.. I crave for it so bad. I just feel like My life and everything In it, is for so much more. I want my entire Life God and it so many ways and not by choice its not.. And I know in my own house my own life , its Gods way or no way!!

Some times I become so anxious and impatient and I know that is God just telling me to be Patient.. an Iam Trying so very hard.. Please Pray for me.

My husbands favorite Scripture Verse:

Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:27-31, NIV)

I feel like that Scripture Is my husband .. Because he has fallen and stumbled and He and I are hoping in the Lord..
