My great debate

I have been debating whether or not to blog this entry or not. It goes against the fiber of our being. Why? Because we as humans we want so much. Whether or not we can afford it or not we just got to have it. I am talking about discontentment. It is has plagued people, torn apart families, and has made people walk away from what they believe. I am not saying the stuff is bad I am saying that the intent of the heart is wrong. People just can’t get enough of what the world has to offer. I just want to yell “SHUT UP, and stop whining.”

The Bible says:

Ecclesiastes 5:15

We all come to the end of our lives as naked and

empty-handed as on the day we were born.

We can’t take our riches with us.

You can’t it with you, so do you use all your “stuff” to serve the Lord? Do your further His kingdom with what your have? Maybe if you slow your selfishness down and look and see what your have instead of what you don’t have; maybe then you can realize that what you have is good enough to give or serve others in the name of Jesus.

Every one of us has seeds to be sown for the kingdom of Christ. When we get so wrapped in ourselves and our stuff, who is missing out on the seed you should have sown? I heard something the other day in a song that stopped me dead in my tracks. “I want to be the miracle that someone is waiting for.” That means being Jesus in skin. How long are you going make someone wait for their miracle?

I have chosen to live a life of contentment. Jesus and ONLY Jesus got me to that point. I was a vain, self-centered, me first person. As the Lord started to mold me and shape me into His image, discontentment dissolved. It was a hard road to tow, but the reward of peace and freedom surpasses the selfish feelings. I AM FREE!!!

If you let the Lord replace your selfishness with selflessness, what could you do or give in the name of Jesus. Whose life will be touched by your life? Does Jesus control your life, meaning do you walk and live in obedience? Or do the things of this world control your life. Think about it.

Luke 6:38

“Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full, pressed down, shake together to make room for more, running over and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

I am not judging anyone. I am simply asking what do you want to get out of your life? I chose Jesus. My cup run’s over because of Him. I choose to be the miracle that someone is waiting for!

Here I am

My top 20!

You think you know me?

Check these and see if you really do.

1. I live my life to serve my Jesus and I am striving to be obedient to Him and His calling.

2. I LOVE scarves, not the winter ones, the dressy kind. The ones at Fuego are my favorite!!!

3. My favorite flowers are tulips. To me they look so elegant.

4. Frog are my most favorite animal. I am pretty sure that there is a frog in so way shape or form in every room of my house. While we are the topic of animals, rhino’s are my least favorite. They terrify me. I won’t look at them when we go to the zoo, and I close my eyes when I see them on T.V.

5. I am looking to find a pair of hot pink heels. I love unique high heels, just not too high or too pointy.

6. My favorite color is purple. Deep dark purple, not violet. This girl doesn’t like pastels.

7. The only jewelry I will wear is my rings and necklace. I am not a big jewelry fan.

8. I dislike shaving. If it was socially acceptable for me to a hairy woman, I would probably be one.

9. I dislike (almost hate) being the recipient of regifting. It is very impersonal and I feel like someone else’s junk is given to me. It sucks the joy out.

10. I love to read Christian novels. Nicholas Sparks is the only exception.

11. I love Christian pop/alternative music.

12. I don’t like other people buying me clothes except my sister Jenny. She always gets me things that make me feel beautiful.

13. I would rather stay home with my hubby and kids, then go out with friends.

14. I love the Oberholtzer’s (Obie for short) everyone should have an Obie family in their life. You will be truly blessed and changed forever!

15. I have decided to grow my hair to my waist again.

16.I think stupidity should be illegal. This is coming from a chic that accidentally punched herself in the face trying to pull up her sleeve and dislocated her jaw.

17. I am living proof that God has a sense of humor.

18. I collect nativity sets and teapots.

19. I love sweaters. So warm and cuddly, not a fan of the itchy ones.

20. I have a huge space in my heart for the ones who wear the scares of freedom. When I see our flag waving in the breeze I am filled with deep gratitude for those who have given part or all of themselves for our country. They are the real super hero’s. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
