Rough Times

It has been some months since typing on here. I have had a rough couple weeks and on the worst day and the next day being one of the best days, it got me thinking. On one of the worst God wants us to praise Him in the good and the bad and He put this hymn in my head This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it. A lot more words in it but those are just a few. So, that song came into my head and I began thinking on the good days and the bad days there are blessing all around us, it's just on the bad days we have to look a little harder to find them. I was able to find a couple that day.

This is a song God put on my heart:

Deep down in my heart there is a scar,
a scar that slowly fades away

Standing at the at the foot of the cross I see
You hanging there and I say a prayer

Jesus, Healer of all things please take this
pain away and heal my scar today

As I kneel at the foot of the cross I
see You standing there as You hear my prayer

Jesus, Healer of all things You took away my pain
and healed my scar today.

Now I know You're always there hearing every
prayer I put my trust in You, Lord and my every
desire and dream.

Thanks everyone who looks at my blogs. I hope to continue to write in here more often.
Have a great and blessed day to all.

God Bless,

Molly

Anniversary

Today is my husband and my (grammatical?) 7th anniversary.  We've been so busy today that it wasn't until we saw the date that we realized it was our anniversary. My husband is a great man who literally has been with me for better or worse. Sometimes, I'm just amazed that God had Ryan in store for me as a life mate. We celebrated it last week and went out to eat. However, we're getting out again tomorrow so we're  gonna get something small for lunch tomorrow.

You're the only One I need

In the madness of this dark cold world, I know
it's only You I need. I can't see beyond my own
discretions blinding me, blinding me.

You're the only One I need, Jesus, You're the
only One that will get me through the day and
night the way You shine so bright.

Please Lord help me tonight I need You to show
me the way to follow You always and Holy Spirit
tell me what to do so I will walk in obedience
to You, my Lord.

You're the only One I need, Jesus, You're the
only One that will get me through the day and the
night the way You shine so bright.

As the cloud of darkness is there no more all I see
is You standing right at my door.  How I love that
You have surrounded me all this time, all this time.

You're the only One I need, Jesus, You've
been here all this time, holding me through
all the night and loving me for always, for
always, for always.

Lord, You Know...

Lord, You know my heart and mind You know what I'm
thinking all the time even through my insecurities I pray
You'll find me faithful in the end.

When I'm down and I'm thinking of You, You lift my
spirit, now I know what to do. I sing Your praises and
let them fill the air and now I'm safely in Your tender-
care.

So show me what You will today and let me listen and obey until
all I am is right with You and I will be renewed and at Home with
You.

The Great Physician

I will start this blog out by saying my husband and I can't have kids. However, I have thought about this for a long time - I'll first say there are times I want kids and times I'm not sure I would be ready emotionally and physically to have kids. Anyhow, in a lot of places in the Bible there is shown miracles of women who couldn't have children and God had different plans for them and they got pregnant. These miracles still happen today. So, who am I to say that we can't have kids when God is the Great Physician, the Great Healer. Maybe I should say if God wills we will have a child. I enjoy these times when I can write what I'm thinking, it's like I'm writing in a diary. Writing my heart and soul to God but it's a public diary so I will be careful with what I shall be writing. Have a blessed day everybody! Molly

Being Real

I am going to say who I want my life to be like and talk about who is already striving to be more like Him. I know there are a lot of people who love Tim Tebow and others who don't. I will say this, there are a lot of football players who are picked on skill alone and get themselves arrested for different reasons. I wish there were teams that would pick there players on skill and on the life they lead. Tebow has had his ups and downs all season just like any other quarterback. I believe he has gotten better as a quarterback throughout the season, going from having his time in the last couple minutes in the fourth quarter and winning games that way to being able to win a game throughout the whole game. I know it's not just Tebow but the whole team that has won or lost the games, it's just I'm talking about Tim Tebow right now. I have read how he lives his life off the field and that is the part of him I really admire. The way he cares for the sick is also the way he cares for the unsaved. I have seen his family's page and saw that growing up his family went on all the mission trips during the summer to the Phillippines (sp?). From afar I can say he is doing what is says in the Bible for us as Christians to do...strive to be more like Jesus. Jesus is who I want to be like. Tebow is a great role model for kids to look up to. I know Tebow knows how important it is to be a role model to younger generations I think I remember him mentioning it somewhere. Anyhow, I know the Bronchos lost last night but do not despair, Tebow is still doing the work of the Lord and working with the sick and the unsaved in the way he knows how.

In John 13:34 Jesus said, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another". (NIV) Above all Christians need to show this characteristic of Christ, but a lot of non-Christians turn away from Christianity because we do not show this characteristic enough. Of all the commandments that was given love was the greatest. Love is such a great thing, it can turn a bad day into a good day. That's how Jesus is also! One thing that really needs to be remembered is that it's not Tebow that's so great, it's who is in Him that is so great.  Let me also say Tebow is letting God work through him. "To make You known, to make You seen, To be Your hands and to be Your feet. Oh I want to be a revelation of love. Oh I, I want to make the invisible God - Visible." (lyrics from the chorus of the song "Visible" by 4Him).

Middle of the Night Calling

Hey everyone, it's me again. I know it's really late or really early depending on how you look at it. I've been trying to sleep and slept a couple of hours but to be quite honest, the Holy Spirit has been tugging at my heart for some time now. I haven't done my devotion in about a month except for one here and one there kind of thing. So, I finally listened to the sweet little tugging on my heart to listen to Him and did today's Our Daily Bread. It asks in there what skills can we give God to accomplish what God wants us to do. His answer was we already have them, we have our spiritual gifts, our experiences, our training, natural  talents and a submissive hearts. Jesus gave us our spiritual gifts to use for a specific reason and purpose so we have no need to want someone else's spiritual gift. Although from what I've heard the closer you come to know our Savior the more spiritual gifts we'll receive. I hope that's true because I am one who has wanted a spiritual gift that someone else has but I am trying to just be happy where I am now and who I'm with. If anyone would like to know what the reading for this is it's Ephesians 2:1-10. Have a great night and I hope everybody sleeps much better than I have tonight.

My First Blog

Hey anyone reading this. My name is Molly. I will be blogging on here I just wanted to have my husband mentioned somehow.  I will try to blog everyday but it might be kinda hard since my life doesn't consist of much so if I do blog everyday sometimes a day may be short with just a verse that touched my heart that day.  Anyhow, today I just want to write about myself in this blog and let everyone get to know me.  I will try to keep any negative things to a minimum. I'll write about it now but try to make it short. I have epilepsy, blood pressure that drops really low to where I have passed out and I have complicated migraines.  I'm on meds for them and I don't want that to be the center of why I'm blogging or be the center of this blog besides I have so much to be happy about! My husband and I will be celebrating our 7th year of marriage in March. I'm looking forward to this 7th year just because to me 7 years sounds like so much more than 6. Maybe it's just me maybe it's just like 7 is God's number so we'll reach God's number. Anyhow, one thing I got for Christmas from my husband since he knows how much I like Christian music and I had this on my Christmas list but he got me the new Aaron Shust CD. This cd is sooo good. Anyone who likes Contemporary Christian music and Worship music will really like this cd. Alot of the time I'm happy, sometimes I feel down. I love Jesus, He's my Savior and Lord! There are times I want to do so many things for other people that physically I can't at least not right now. On the same note, there are times I want to do so many things that if I could get a ride I could do it but I hate asking people for rides or I sign up for three things at one time without putting any real thought into it and then one doesn't need me and the other two I can't do. Which brings me to my New Year's Resolution.  This year I am going to try really hard where if I say I'm gonna do something I am going to do it no matter how I feel. Also, (this goes along the same line) before signing up for something I'm going to pray about it and look into it instead of just jumping in and signing up.  Well, that's about it when it comes to me for today. I hope someone will enjoy reading this. Talk to you'll later. Have a great day!
