You know me, I blog when I have things to get off my chest. It's when I feel I write best, and when my emotions control the keyboard.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
Nothing gets my goat more than judgmental people. I don't like pointing fingers, and I don't like anyone bringing those I love down.
Me, myself, am guilty of sin. Me, myself, have made bad decisions in life. Do I feel guilty about some of my decisions? Yes. Do I feel unworthy of God's love? Yes. But ya know what....I'm forgiven. I'm worthy of every gift that has been placed in my life. I alone, am responsible for how I want to deal with my past and present mistakes. Its not anyone's fault but mine. I've been dealt things that I don't wish on anyone...but yet, I know, God has a plan, and his plan is the plan.
My conscience is clear, and my sins wiped clean.
But yet, why do people feel the need to judge others based on a past they know nothing about? Its human nature. It makes those that don't know the scripture feel powerful. Bringing other people down is so easy to do.
You haven't lived in anyone's shoes but your own. So keep your own shoes tied and worry about yourselves.
I'm very proud of my children, what they've overcome, and where their lives are headed. My goal in life was always this.....that they would all have a personal relationship with Jesus. I've done my part, I've raised them to be good, God fearing, God believing people. It wasn't forced on them, it was shown to them, in how I treat people, and how I overcome adversity. I wanted my children to grow up to feel the love of parents, to feel the grace of Jesus, and to know, life is hard, and isn't gonna always go the way they want it to.
Matthew 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Speaking about people when you shouldn't shows your ignorance, and your immaturity. Why don't we all sit back and try to understand that we're all human, we're all sinners, and we're all accountable for our actions?
Whew, I feel better......and before YOU go and think this is about you, it isn't......its been on my heart and I needed to get it out. My kids need to hear how proud I am of them once in awhile.....
Basically I'm a stay at home farm wife. All my kids are grown and out of the house living their own lives. I'm real. I write. I bake. I cook. I cry. I laugh. I try to put up with everyday life, while trying to be a good farm wife, mom, and grandma. I have a sense of humor many don't quite understand. Trust me, if you get me, you'll be a forever friend.
