Walking in His steps
I just finished reading the book, In His Steps, by Charles M. Sheldon.
It was really good.
And I am left with, "Are we truly walking in His steps?" "Are we suffering for Him?" "Are we reaching out to the lost, suffering and hurting souls?" "Are we doing as He would do in every little detail and area of our lives?"
May we all ask our selves these questions, as we continue to walk after, seek after, and love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds.
Walk in His steps.
In Him, Mae

In His Steps ( book)
My oldest son just bought this book recently. ( he is always looking for great Christian books to purchase to read, plus for his own personal library one day) So I have borrowed his book and am enjoying it immensely! It is an old time classic, and is the adult version for the children's book, What would Jesus DO?. This is the book where the , " What would Jesus Do." saying has came from. Or better know today I suppose as WWJD.
One may wonder when in the world I would ever have time for reading so many books. I do not have a lot of time for sure. But I grab minuets here and there, especially when I am nursing my little one. And when I lie down some days after lunch for some quiet time. The only things I read is my Bible and great Christian books or literature.
This book is written about a pastor of a church that has pledged along with many of the church members for a year not to do any thing without asking first, "What would Jesus do." And many of them are business people , ect.. So form that day on in all aspects and dealings concerning their businesses and decisions they make, they ask the question, what would Jesus do? And things in their businesses and community begin to chance because of that pledge they made.
It seemed it was new for these people to bring God into every aspect of their lives though they had been professing Christian all along prior to this.
But that shouldn't be so should it? If we are truly living are lives completely for God, then all the time for as long as we live every thing we do should be centered around what Jesus would do and what His Will is for our lives. It shouldn't be something new to us, but it should be the norm, any thing else would be strange to us.
We need to always consider in everything What would Jesus do.
Here is a few examples.
~ Would Jesus watch or want us to watch this movie, TV show, ect...?
~ Would Jesus use His time this way?
~ Would Jesus use His money this way?
~ Would Jesus read this book or magazine?
~ Would He hang out at a place like this?
~ Would Jesus listen to this kind of music?
A lot of time I think things are done with out a lot of time considering this because I guess we get the mind set that these things really don't matter, but if we stop and take a moment to think about it, we know the answer in our hearts. Proverbs 3:6 "In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." And all these things do matter. God wants every little detail of our lives to be after His Will. He wants us walk after His steps.
1 John 2:6 " He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked."
May this be an encouragement to you today, as you mother your children and walk after God.

Louie Giglio ( Passion Talk Series DVD set)
I was recently given this DVD set as a gift. We watch them together as a family. So far we have only managed to watch the first two. We really enjoyed them. I do not know how the rest will be, but I imagine that will be just as good. He is great speaker, and really holds your attention. The first DVD was really amazing as Louie describes our Milky Way Galaxy and how great our God is in His perfect creation of the stars and planets, and how small we are. You would just have see it know what I mean. It was very well done.
I am enjoying the gift of this DVD set very much. And now I have just placed and order for this exact set for a family member. I found it on www.amazon.ca for $58.00. There you can view the DVDs and read what all they are about.
I am sure there is web-site as well where you could learn more about Louie Giglio and the Passion Talk ministry. I do not personally know anything of Louie or Passion Talk only this DVD set, and the first 2 of the DVDs we watched. Might be wise to check that out if one is interested.

yearning for wisdom
Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Proverbs 4:5
Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7
How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. Proverbs 16:16
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
If any one needs wisdom it is us mothers busily keeping up with our children and all the issues that arise every day all day!! If your a mom with little ones, ya' know what I mean . Some days are way more crazy than others though.
So we need lots of good godly wisdom to successfully handle it all right?!!
And by the above verses it sounds like it is a very great thing to have for certain sure, better than gold in fact! Wow, you can't get better than that can you?!
And by James 1:5 it does seems easy enough to come by. If any of you lack wisdom, just ask God!
Yes, all we have to do is yearn, desire, and seek after wisdom, earnestly praying and crying out to God for it, and our Heavenly Farther who holds all wisdom will gives us liberally what we need. He is just waiting for us to ask.
We wants us to seek and desire His wisdom and not the world's wisdom. We can find out what God thinks of the world's wisdom when we read
1 Corinthians 1:19 " For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness";
I love to start my day with a prayer for the Lord to help me get through the day while I am yet lying in bed, and I prayer for wisdom for that day to handle all the issues that will arise. And also I pray in the middle of a situation for His help in how to handle it. Try it, it works!! And it will calm you down too when you take a breather and stop and pray!
So yearn for wisdom, and God will fill you up. Seek after Him, and He will direct your paths.
In Him,
Mae
