Words Of A Homemaker

 

God, I want to do great things for you,

And speak to all the nations!

God replies:

That's well and good,

But for now

Fix your children's complications.

Lord, I want to straighten up the world,

Feed the hungry and fulfill someone's wishes!

God says:

Fine, but for the present,

You need to wash the dishes.

Lord, I want to preach, proclaim your name

And bring salvation to the earth!

God says:

Good! Then teach your children

And preach my name to those you've given birth.

At the end of the day,

I think of all I've done.

But as I look it seems,

I've accomplished nothing for the Son!

God I had no time to witness one on one,

I couldn't join my church group,

They said I missed out on lots of fun.

My household is the only thing

That managed to be cleaned,

My neighbor is the only one,

Besides my family I could feed.

The only ones I've read Your Word

Are those within my home.

God I've done so very little

And I feel so all alone!

God says:

I've seen the way you cleaned and cooked

And taught your kids My name.

Tomorrow morning at eight o' clock,

I'll watch you do the same.

The work you do at home,

Though no one really sees,

Is helping to raise little ones

To grow and worship me.

My ways are not your ways,

I don't expect you yet to see,

But the precepts that you've taught your children,

Will help others bow the knee.

Your children will reach out to others,

Your example in their mind.

They'll do great work for Me

And their children will respond in kind.

The hand that rules the world,

Also rocks the cradle.

Because of you, your children love Me,

All their hearts are stable.

Though your house is your domain,

Your tasks seem rather plain,

Your efforts will reach the multitudes,

Though from humble work they came.

The Lord

Lord, You are worthy of all praise.
There is none like You in all Existence.
You alone are God and
You alone reign over all things
You hold all things precious to you,
in Your MIGHTY right hand.
No one can snatch what belongs to You
Your forgiveness awaits me
You cleanse me and
You seat me with the Righteous.

You are Worthy of All MY Praise.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
for my salvation and my healing.

I love the Lord He hears my cries....

Lord, I know you will meet me where I am. I know you have plans for me. I will not covet my the former things. YOU, are doing a New thing.  Lord, help me to be able to receive it- without mumbling and complaining or wishful thinking. I want you to be pleased with me. Pleased with my every thought and even the ones I push back. God, help me to allow YOU to lead me, even in the most tiniest of things. I hate not accepting what YOU have planned for me. It almost seems as if my flesh is winning this...one. I can't have that. You won't have it. Please Lord, fight this for me, lead me through this darkness... I can't see where I'm going, nothing is familiar but YOU. You never promised that I would see what YOU were doin, but YOU did promise me YOU  would take care of me, never leave me nor forsake,  thatmy future will be good and full hope. I just need to trust YOU. Lord, help me to TRUST YOU in this. My heart cries out to YOU from this place I am in. Hear my cry just as you heard David's. I love you LORD.

I waited patiently for the LORD;  he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him.

Psalm 40:1-3

The LORD is near to all who call on him,  to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. ~Psalm 145:18-20

Praise

Lord, You are all I need. In the time of trouble, you are my secret garden, where I find peace and a stable mind.

When I a wrecked and torn, You oh God put me back together.

 No, no there is No One like you.

Who can fathom your ways? Who can study You and say, "I get Him"?

Who else can say that they are God? Who can be God-like, yet have no forgiveness?

I don't get You at all, sometimes.

You are so beautiful, loving and gentle and full of love. So much love that You offer us forgiveness so freely. My how I want what You have...oh, if it wasn't so hard to be like You. Praise You for your abounding grace.

You give me just what I need to get to where You want me to be.

Each step takes me deeper in love with You,

deeper into Your presence,

deeper into Your grace.

 Praise Your Holy Name! My Mighty Savior, My ALIVE and Living Father!

The One who is ALWAYS willing! I lift Your Name on High! Majestic is Your Name!

Your Holy Presence fills the temple. You are lovely, so beautiful.

Honor, glory and praise is due to YOU and YOU ONLY!

To the One who was, the One who is and to the One who is to come!

Praise You for knowing the end from the beginning.

 Praise You that I am forever Yours and You are forever mine.

I am the very apple of Your eye!

You only see the -Jesus -covered- me!

Psalm 100 

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
 Worship the LORD with gladness;
   come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
   It is he who made us, and we are his^[a];
   we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
   and his courts with praise;
   give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
   his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Brooklyn's Praise Song!!!

The Lord is good by the heavens!


The Lord is in Heaven and he sent His Son to die on the Cross for us
He made everything and all the people, he made all the people He made all the people

He died on the Cross, He is good, he made all the people

The Lord the is good by the heavens! The Lord is good by the heavens! (Not sure what this means but I am definitely sure that the Lord does and inhabits her praise!)

Psalm 47:6-7 NIV

Sing praises to God, sing praises;
       sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is the King of all the earth;
       sing to him a psalm of praise

The Nostalgia of it ALL

Nostalgia: a yearning for the past, often in idealized form. 

 I remember this night like it was TODAY!!!! Such good times, with good friends!!!!

Walking Free from the Stinch of Smoke!!!

Our neighbors invited us over for dinner tonight. We went over and ate. Then we went outside and burnt some marshmallows. It was nice. Afterwards, Joe, the kids and I went home and immediately I could smell the stinch of smoke in my hair and clothes....this is OFFENSIVE to me......so I proceeded to strip the clothes off and put fresh ones on. As I was taking the clean clothes out the dryer the Holy Spirit brought to mind the story in  Daniel 3 of the three Hebrew boys. I said to Joseph, "Man, it's amazing, that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was in the firey furnace and they did NOT smell like smoke". Joseph was like, "Yeah, and the furnace was turned up to the HOTTEST level."  I continued to think about how amazing this story is; here I am outside for less than 30 minutes around a pretty small pit of fire and I smell like I had been dancing around the flames and they were IN THE FIRE and didn't smell of  smoke. WoW! I am so encouraged. If my Lord can do this for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, surely, He can do it for me when I am in my HOTTEST of situations and circumstances. Amen? Amen.
There is this song we used to sing, the verse went like this, "You don't look like, what you been through"
those HOT situations that seem like they will never end or  we will never be able to walk FREE from. Shad, Me-Me and Benny walked FREE from all they had been through not taking any of the weight or baggage that often comes when we encounter difficult circumstances. For this matter, the smell of smoke, sut on their faces, burnt skin and charred scared lungs from inhaling the smoke and fire, and of course, death.

What HOT situation did God walk you through? Did you walk FREE from it; not looking like what you'be been through?

Daniel 3:26-27 

Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!"
So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.
