Proverbs 16; Mark 8

A Snow Day and working for a school district as I do ,I get all the phone calls from people displeased w/the decision to have school in the snow. Don't get me started on entitlement again....do they not think the decision is made with much deliberation and investigation and concern? People driving in calling to complain about the weather on their cell phones, making driving even more dangerous.....?? Keep the kids home, as parents we always have the right to that decision...giving the power to others and then disagreeing with the decisions.
I don't know I think blogging is about to be over for me becoming way to opinionated and verbal, when Your call is to a quiet obedience...to YOU. All the wrestling I've done is good and OK all the questions here are good and ok and yet now...knowing what I know and not living it is not ok......

I long for a purpose and a plan for my life. I believe that You have one I just haven't found it yet. I wait for others to validate my life instead of looking expectantly to You for that validation. I long to be a woman of substance and strength and get caught up and fall under my incapabilities and lack of .....see there I go, rather than reading these amazing bits of wisdom and resting on who YOU are......

Mark 8: 20"And the seven loaves for the four thousand—how many bags full of leftovers did you get?"
"Seven."
21 He said, "Do you still not get it?"


There is more than enough food in the world IF we share.......If we as followers of Christ trust in Him who provides and the sad thing is we don't.........I don't....21 He said, "Do you still not get it?"

34-37 Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?
38 "If any of you are embarrassed over me and the way I'm leading you when you get around your fickle and unfocused friends, know that you'll be an even greater embarrassment to the Son of Man when he arrives in all the splendor of God, his Father, with an army of the holy angels."


.....knowing what I know and not living it is NOT ok.....
