I am here to give you an excerpt and then send you over to For Every Mom dot-com.  She has well written a piece that is so close to my heart; one that I’d like to preach on the housetop but for now I’m just sharing here. 

“Raising An Esther in A Miley Cyrus World?

It sounds almost impossible.

But, moms, hear me.  It is so important that we try.

Here’s why…..

She was beautiful.

Her long, blonde hair was pulled into a perfect messy bun on top of her head. Her skin was golden, evidence of lazy days spent poolside, being kissed by the sun.  She was thin but fit, maybe a gymnast or dancer.  Her string bikini was white and left little to the imagination. Hips swaying, chest pushed out, she walked with  a confidence that demanded to be noticed.  My kids were playing in the kiddie pool in front of me but I glanced away from them to catch one more look at her as she passed.  And I felt a sudden heavy sadness.

Why?

Because she was maybe 12.”

Psalms

Safe Believing

Notes on Psalm 19. And I do mean notes. Raw. Rough. Straight from the scratch page. 

V 1 It’s just a fact! It is written here for us. We are safe believing it.

Study the night sky and we will learn. We will get to know something of God if we are willing.

He has pitched a tent for the sun. The sun has a place. It knows its place. It holds its place. It rejoices to run its course. It follows its path – the path the Creator laid out for it. It does what God ordained for it to do.  What if we did?

The Law. The Torah. The Word of God is perfect. It will restore our souls. We are safe believing it.

There is a promise attached to God’s precepts. We obey them and we will have joy of heart. It’s a given. We are safe believing it.

Cleanse me of hidden faults the Psalmist penned.  I am safe believing that – I have sins I don’t even know about yet. But I want to know so I can repent.

Verse 15! May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, Adonai, my Rock and my Redeemer. It’s personal and I’m safe believing it!

1 Corinthians, You Tubes

Two Words

I have a word for us; actually, two words. We have surely heard this phrase a time or two. Perhaps we have said it to a younger brother or sister; perhaps we were the undesirable younger one. 

Get lost. 

Not such comforting words. Yet today when I heard the song I will share with you in a moment these two words took on precious. 

I am convinced a world of people are lost but they don’t know they are lost. I remember the day I owned my lost-ness. It was the greatest day of my life! So I want some people to get lost! Will you pray along with me that the Holy Spirit of GOD will convict and convince folks of their lost-ness? Will you pray with me that people will be willing to be lost so they can be found? Will you pray with me that those of us who have been found will give the right directions with our words and our deeds to help others get found?

Get lost. The perfect place. The only place. To be found by the ONE who is worthy of finding us. The ONE who can bring us home. Home to forgiveness, home to peace with the Creator of this universe. 

And for those of us who have been found for a while now; let us take heed, lest we get caught ‘wandering’ around the same ole mountain for 40 years. 

1 Corinthians 10:12  (TLV) 12 Therefore let the one who thinks that he stands watch out that he doesn’t fall.  source

1 Corinthians 8:9  (KJV) 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. source

Now for the song. Please closely heed the words.

A glorious Monday, my Friends,  Kathie
