How deep is your Love?

How deep is your Love.. great song. Can you sing it?

God is love and he wants us to grow up to be like him. The height of maturity is not how much doctrine you know. The height of maturity is how deeply you love." - Rick Warren

This month at our church we have had a sermons series "Give Love Away! Mostly talking about our money, and what is important in God's economy as to what is important in the world's economy. It has made me do some really soul searching, ... this is truly where the rubber meets the road, it is action and not just words. .. it is maturity over whining , It is giving and not getting... Ouch!!!!
Questions ... How deep is God's Love? What does He value? Do I?

Today is My man's 50th birthday ;oO

Ok, since we have been celebrating his birthday all month long, I think I am 50 now!!!
JK, He is a wonderful man who deserves to be celebrated everyday but thank God he doesn't expect to be. I love you honey, and I hope you have another 50 years but I hope I am in heaven for last ten, hehehehehe ;oO

For Realsssss

My daughter has a new saying" for realssss", she uses it all the time now , I am not sure where she picked it up but I love to hear her say it, especially when she is trying to convince me of something and I am laughing and she saids to me, MOMA, for reallllsss!!!! She cracks me up! I am not sure she uses it at the right time or in the right context but since I do not use words at the right time or context, who am I to correct her, I know scary!
As first day of Fall, I am watching the leaves turn and fall , It always reminds me of old things gone and God makes all things new. I am grateful to him for doing that, there are alot of things He needs to make over in my life and make new. I won't go into that here on this blog, He knows me :O)
I love him for His constant presence in my life. I love the fact that He has never left me, even when I wanted to leave myself. I love him for the fact that he not only tells me He loves me but he shows me all the time. He not only saved my soul once , when I was 8 years old, He keeps saving me from myself daily!! I love the fact that He is faithful, In a world where not much is.. (ie. the stock market) He is faithful .
Go ahead , sit outside , feel the cool weather ,drink your apple cider and let God remind you of his faithfulness and how He can change your old to new!!
He has done great things, For reallsss!!!!!

Good intentions enough?

I am still reading"Every body's Normal till you get to know them"
OK, I am slow a reader ;o)
I am still on the "Mat carriers and roof crasher". I want to be both!!!! but I am afraid I am more often like the ones who go inside and find a seat , get comfortable and wait for Jesus to speak. My intentions are good, I want to hear Jesus and all that he has to say, I want a up front spot, I want to see his face!! Is this bad??
well, when I think about the whole thing, I think about these friends and what great friends they are, they wanted more for their friend than for themselves, they wanted their friend close to Jesus, that is what great friends do, I mean they could have left their friend and got there early and got a great seat but instead they carried his MAT and dug through the roof and lowered His Mat for Him to see Jesus. I did wonder what the homeowner thought but then what did the others ,who got there early think?
I mean, they wanted to hear Jesus and then someone interrupts ! How dare them! I may not have said that out loud but many times I have thunk it ;oO
Thank God, He reminds me that More than anything, God uses people to Heal People.
Jean Vanier ( not sure who he/she is but I like this) said" A community is never there just for itself or for its own glory.it comes from and belongs to something much greater and deeper:the heart of God to bring humanity to fulfillment. A community is never an end in itself: it is a sign pointing further and deeper,calling people to LOVE"
So while good intentions are good, if they are not with Love then they are Nothing!!

surprise party





This past week, I gave my man a surprise 50Th b-day party. While it was alot of fun, it was alot of work. i had to lie about alot of things. like where I went and why some people were coming to town. It was hard to keep it all straight and many times I almost let it slip. but i must say watching his face, was worth it all. it was worth it watching him sing all the songs played that night. He enjoyed begin with his friends and family. God blessed b holding the rain back. i do praise Him for that!!!!

I do love parties but I think this will be the last surprise one for a long while, I am tired!!
