If you are here looking for me or for the Blogged Bible Study, you are at the wrong place, sorry for any inconvenience. You will find me at Princess Ponderings
Thanks and have a great day in the LORD!
Things are changing again in my life! Change is not one of my favorite things, but if I would follow Christ with the reckless abandon I once had, change would be minimal and exciting instead of work.
God called me to blog almost 4 years ago. And daily I met with HIM, and daily HE gave me what I needed to write, and a lesson that was as good for me as for my readers. Somewhere along the way, I detoured the orginal plan, and became taken in by Stats, what was considered to be trending, and pleasing people. I know lots write on their blogs that this blog belongs to the readers, but mine belongs to me, and is a reflection of the walk I have with my Father.
Long story short…I started a new blog..I will leave this here, as I know there are some good things here that are still being read, and used. I could have stayed on WP, but honestly I do have the know-how to do lots of things, and paying someone to do it for me is not viable at this time.
I have been called by the KING as HIS princess, to ponder things, to write them, and to stay on this journey to know HIM more, and love HIM more. That’s all. IF you care to follow my journey I will be here.
The only promise I will make you is I will be real. If you are able to meet me in person, you will be able to feel that you know me, because I won’t pretend to be something I am not Peace and Love!
Its not enough to just walk through the day and to just think at its end, “that’s it! nothing more!” We tend to forget to seize the day! Be intentional..Looking for what God is doing around us, and anticipating that one person HE may put in your path who is ready to know HIM. When we do this, we are never disappointed, and not at all weary at the end of the day. Kingdom living, be intentional, spend time with HIM, and keep the conversation open all day long. Seizing that moment when someone just looks at you and needs a smile, or “hey how you doing?” then wait for them to respond, not walk on by.
I know our schedules are crazy at times, but we serve a GOD who doesn’t run out of time, and when I actually do these things, my day comes together in a supernatural way. One more thing for me to stand of awe about at the end of the day.
Go on now! get out there and just ask someone “Do you know my Jesus?”
this is what I have been caught up with this morning and noon. As this generator crossed RT 441 the Middle school, Elementary, and Kcenter are all affected by it. The whole entourage is about one mile long, and completely walked with one steering in the front, the other axles are worked by remote control of men walking beside it. Its 75 feet high, so power lines traffic lights are being unassembled and re assembled constantly. Just so happens i go to RT 441 approximately 8 times a day for pick ups, drops, and to get in and out of the school. today we learned to enter through the back. GOOD TIMES! LOL they have more faith in us than we do. If i get to a crossing that can’t be crossed at that time, turn around NO PROBLEM! LOL still keeping a sense of humor.
For your viewing pleasure if you haven’t heard about this major feat, here is a link to see what I am talking about.

Kids have been totally freaked as we do our routes differently and try to accomodate this small problem 
So we sang Sponge Bob Square pants several times..yah I had the part “ARRRRR ya ready kids” LOL
(been flipped off today a couple times, and I am flattered that they think I am #1!)
Galatians 4:1-7 (NIV)
What I am saying is that is as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from the slave, although he owns the whole estate. He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. But when the time had fully come, GOD sent his Son, born of a woman, under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive the full rights of sons, God sent the Spirit of HIS son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father”. So you are no longer a slave, but a son, God has made you an heir.
This is the beauty of Grace. Once asking a Pastor what exactly is Grace, we sing about it, we throw it around like a 5 dollar word in Christian circles, and at that time I had no concept of what it actually was. I was answered with “God’s riches at Christs expense”. Sums it up..still left me empty to the meaning, or application for me. These verses opened it up for me. Grace we are swimming in it!! Not only is HIS Grace sufficient for me, and you, there is nothing that will remove you from it as a believer in Christ. As a son we are inheritors to the Kingdom, we are IN, and all because of the gift of Christ to die for us.
The mind of Christ. Always asked this one too..How can one have the mind of Christ? No one could actually answer that for me, or even admit that we do. But it says..the Spirit of Christ has moved into residency in our hearts! (Swimming in it! grasp this) His Spirit intercedes for us, HE cries out “Abba , Father” (Daddy , Father) Where we fall is here. NO matter what you struggle with, NO matter what I struggle with..right here. At times we are thinking as the slave, under the Law, forgetting the marvelous gift of Grace that was given to us. Please don’t tell me that you do not ever do this. If we truly grasped this, nothing could stop us in ministry, in our families, in our devotional time, in spreading the fragrance of Knowing HIM, our boldness for the kingdom with just scream from us!! It is not a light thing that HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR US! It means whatever is brought your way, God has already seen HIS Glory fulfilled in it, and you will also see HIS Glory if you don’t turn from HIM. SWIMMING IN IT! THIS IS SOMETHING TO w00t!!! Holla!!! all about!!!
(in the middle column you will find a list of names and days that they will posting as we study together through Galatians. Under the header of “Carls Blogging Bible Study, check them out, and leave some comment luv)
Been paying attention to what gets response on my Facebook. I have mixed group on my facebook. Christ followers, friends I grew up with, relatives, and co-workers, Christfollowers make up 70 % of my friends list.
This weekend I finally grasped something that has been bothering me for a while. As Christfollowers, we are quick to disregard things that are not comfortable, things that are not complementing to ourself, and overall would cause us to maybe do something. Sorry in advance if this is stepping on your toes..well no apology is necessary.
So many children around the world need our help in one way or another. I support a child in India through Compassion, for the last 6 years. Love him! There are many groups that can be helpful in directing you in how to help a child in need. Christian Organizations. But the one that has my heart, is Invisible Children of Uganda. Its not Christian Organization, although Christians started it. Its more of a Humanitarian effort. Together we can make a difference in this country, and for these children. I am asking you to come out of your comfort zone, and just watch any of the videos on their website. Write a letter to your congressman, send out an email to entire list to raise awareness…DO SOMETHING..together we can help these children.
I hear so many people say “I am following Jesus”..I think Uganda and the Invisible Children are exactly where HE would be…Jesus loves the children of the world..and what we have done or not done for the least of these we have done to HIM… Please just hear these people out, and pray about how you can help them.
