Day 184 - Day 2 of Chase THE Light Project



Welcome to Day 2 – I am light to others.
Today’s verse is from Ephesians 5:8. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.”

I can think of many times I was once in the darkness.  In fact, if I don’t spend time with Him daily – I can easily get caught up in all that is not Him. I can be too busy or get too distracted to have my morning quiet time.  When I’m too busy to spend time with Him that is when I’m most vulnerable to the enemy and that is right where he wants me.  I start to believe those lies that he says…”You aren’t good enough to do that. God doesn’t really care if you do that…you are only one person and it doesn’t even matter.”
When this happens I need to stop it immediately, bring it to Jesus and leave it at the foot of the cross.
To Chase the Light – I need to spend time soaking in His Light. I have to fight for this time because it is a battle.  When I spend time with Him…I can then be light to others.  Isn’t that the ultimate goal – to imitate Jesus?
How can you walk as a child of light? What are some things that may still be preventing you from being in the light? Do you have opposition in your life? Are there things that you need to bring to His feet and lay it down? Leave them there.
Today, spend time soaking in His Light so that you can reflect that light to others.  Ask for eyes to see and ears to hear – be on guard and trust what comes.

Worry? Proverbs 31 OBS Blog Hop

  This week's blog topic from Proverbs 31 OBS is on “Worry”… AND I know a thing or two about worry.  I’m betting a lot of you reading this do as well.  Dictionary.com defines worry as: “ to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. ” Torment oneself.  Suffer.  Fret.  That’s what I can do to myself sometimes.   I’ve heard that if you worry you don’t really trust that God can handle it.  You don’t trust God with it.  That’s hard to swallow for me.  Because I worry about my kids, my family, me, friends, etc.  But I’m in the Bible every single day.  I am a Jesus girl.  So for me to worry and then see that my worry means I don’t trust that God can handle it is hard.  UGH.   I am getting better about it though.  My time with God every morning is helping.  When I start to worry about something…I begin to pray.  I stop the tormenting in its tracks and give it to Jesus.  Now, I may have to give it to Jesus more than once. 

A Raging Battle.... Proverbs 31 OBS Blog Hop

On Sunday of this week, we started a new online Bible study with Proverbs 31!  I am so excited because I love anything Proverbs 31!  Our study this time around is by one of my favorite authors, Lysa TerKeurst….and her book, Made to Crave !  I have read this book already and it is amazing.  If you want to jump in on the study…please do!  Go here to sign up:  http://proverbs31.org/online-bible-studies/ This week for my blog topic I picked “A Raging Battle”   because food is not something I crave more than God…I crave other things.  God has shown me some things that I crave more than Him and it’s not pretty.  “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord ; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”  Psalm 84:2 For three years now I have been doing a 365 photo a day blog and last year I started writing every Thursday about my faith and whatever was on my heart.  I felt like this was something I was supposed to do.  When I

Running on Empty --- Proverbs 31 OBS Blog Hop Day

It’s the middle of summer and I feel like I am running on empty.  Ever feel that way?  The pace of summer is supposed to relax me but these past couple of days…I feel tired and done.  Right now- I don’t believe my life is telling the story of God’s grace.  Oh, I know His grace is all around me…He gives me grace D A I L Y.  But…am I giving grace to others?  No…not really because I am empty…drained…exhausted.  In fact, I told my kids that it would be an early bedtime last night because Mommy was done...that Mommy was on empty…that I had nothing more to give and we needed to just go to bed. <Insert Mommy guilt> I need to be filled up.  I want to be filled but I keep going through the motions of my day to day activities.  Depending on my own strength is draining me and causing me to say, “I have nothing more to give!”  When really…I do.  The other day, my daughter had a trail ride and as I stood in a big open field and looked out at God’s creati
