Umpteenth

It’s not too late to finish those projects you started. Even if it has been years since you first began and even if you laid it aside months, many months ago, you can still pick it up again and complete it. See? img_8578  Look at that date. Yes, you read it right. February 26, 2010.  I started that 90 day journal six (6) plus years ago. And so I picked it up again today, September 9, 2016, img_8579from August 31, 2015. So where do we start again for the umpteenth time? Well, where we left off seems reasonable, right? :)

So do you have a book you started reading or perhaps writing, some scrap-booking you began for your children, any good and noble thing you set aside for whatever reason – like distractions? Would you allow me to encourage you to start again with my confession of taking 6 plus years and counting to complete a 90 day journal? If you’ll check on me, I’ll check on you. :)

So let us not grow weary of doing what is good; 
for if we don’t give up, we will in due time 
reap the harvest. Galatians 6:9

Days Not Known

Morning meditation

Acts 4:33

33 With great power the emissaries continued testifying to the 
resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, 
and they were all held in high regard.

The resurrection was a big deal! The fact that Yeshua Who many of them had seen die, was alive again! 

He in His resurrection took hold of them and with the coming of the Holy Spirit to indwell them they were charged with boldness and spoke with authority and power! 

Do you ever long for days you have not yet known? Me too, this morning. 

Until then ~  ~ ~ Kathie 
Proverbs

26 (b)

From hence forth I will be using the word whore, shall we say in a wiser manner. 

Proverbs 6:26 The price of a whore is a loaf of bread,
 but the adulteress is hunting for a precious life. source

Have you seen the Movie, Pretty Woman? Vivian was a prostitute. And it was her practice to keep it strictly business – pay your loaf of bread and be on your way. 

And to think all these years we have used the word whore to denote the worst of the worst. I am rethinking that. Here’s why.

But the adulteress is hunting for a precious life. 

She’s not looking for a loaf of bread; she’s looking to shut down the bakery and put it under new management! She’s looking for lives (and families) to devour. 

Adultery. It is far, far worse than we in this 21st Century have let ourselves believe.

Yes. I have a new perspective.

There are Vivian(s) in this world; some are lured into it by various and multiple means, some are abducted and enslaved into it, but they all have this in common: JESUS wants to rescue them! He loves them with the purest love they have yet to know.

And there are 26 (b) women in this world: adulteresses. Somehow to me now it is even less becoming a word than whore. Even so, JESUS wants to rescue! Even so, JESUS has a pure and holy love for us all: Vivian(s),  26 (b)s, and the Mary Jane(s), the Susie(s), the Girls Next Door.  All of us! JESUS CAME for US! In whatever pit of sin we are found; and we all have our pits. JESUS came to save sinners! And that my Friends covers us all! 

See Romans 3:22-24

It’s GOOD NEWS! Spread it! It’s better than butter on bread! :)
