Ephesians 4:(NIV) 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  source

Keeping the peace. Some aspire to keep the peace at all cost, any cost. Some, not so much. Is there a guide? Is there some way for us to know just how far to go, how much to compromise, what kind of compromise is reasonable to keep the peace? I think there is. I think our verse guides us.

When the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD gives you peace in your proposed way to keep the peace, go for it.

Making peace and keeping peace is imperative for us but never at the expense of UNITY with the HOLY SPIRIT. If He is not on board with our plans, by all means, let us jump ship.

Yogurt and Pouty Faces

Approximate Reading Time: 2 minutes

Recently I stood before the dairy case at my local grocery buying establishment and for as long as I stared, I still could not find the brand of yogurt I wanted. I could feel a pout-y face barreling to the surface! I mean all I wanted was my brand of plain, Greek, full fat, no sugar added, much protein yogurt! 

I opted for another brand.

Took it home.  Mixed it with some no granulated sugar added Blackberry jam, a little stevia and, immediately, I was in some heavy, I mean heavy like! I mean leave that other brand behind like it was last year’s prom dress! 

Today I mixed it with some finely diced onions, dried basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
JT has a heavy (real heavy) like for french onion dip. When he tasted my new much healthier version, he said, “I could like that!”  :)

My point? When DADDY GOD removes what we have become accustomed to, or when He does not give us what we have begged Him for for ages, lets send our pout-y faces packing and expect Him to lead and or provide us with a different, extremely likable yogurt brand.

Ephesians 3: 20 Now to Him who is able to do far beyond all that we ask or imagine, by means of His power that works in us, 21 to Him be the glory in the community of believers and in Messiah Yeshua throughout all generations forever and ever! Amen. source

Shoes

 There they are. Dropped. Abandoned. 

Shoes.

One decision.

She kneels and the room becomes a sacred place. She picks them up, draws them close and whispers his name. Thanksgiving pours from her heart to the Fathers ear –  petitions for protection, wisdom, knowledge, peace, guidance, comfort, on and on she prays. 

Calls to prayer. They come in the strangest places. :)
