Priorities – Living For God

A few days ago, I posted to all my FB friends the following message below in quotes.  Since then,  I have been prayerfully considering, as I absolutely want to be obedient to the Lord in all things, yet my heart has genuinely grown to love some of these friends who I have really connected with on a heart level.   There have been a few friends who have deeply expressed their gratitude to be friends with me.   And these friends have also been real friends who share together in this daily living of life.  These friends have reached out to me personally in many ways throughout many years.  These friends have shared struggles, hopes, dreams, hardships, prayers and more for me and my family.  I have been seeking God because I do not want to abandon these friendships. Also, a couple new friends who I simply delight in sharing in the Lord together from one side of the U.S. to the other.  I also want to make sure that I keep God first, husband, and family as the priority of my life. And I know each of these special friends would understand and agree, that would be the only way to do life.

For the time being, I have decided to remove a lot of extra on my fb page, those who I just do not interact with for no obvious reasons, other than we just don’t.  I am figuring out ways to remove more distractions and temptations to be spending too much time in the wrong places, in all areas of life.  I have drastically pared down my friends list to just a very small amount of those who have shown they desire to actually relate with me personally in this way, desire to share our joys, our love for God, for others, and encourage one another with the scriptures, and more.  I want to bring God glory in my life.  I want to encourage others, and point them to Jesus.  I fail often in bringing God glory, but I also praise Him that even in these failings, by His faithfulness, He draws me to repentance and forgiveness, rich mercy, and a love that covers all-thus pointing to JESUS – GLORY!.  God does not fail.  His name is Faithful and True.   But my heart’s desire is to form better habits and ways to be about bringing God glory and to be about the work HE has called me to.  So pray for me friends.  Will you?  And I will pray for you.  That we may spur each other on towards truth, righteousness, and living to please God.

Hello Everyone! I am going to be ending my FB account within the next several days. I wanted to give a heads up. I desire very much to stay in touch with anyone who desires the same. For now, I will have messenger. I have email. I have text . I can talk on phone. I can meet in person. Message me anytime. I plan to message. I invite those who have expressed enjoyment to visit my blog: www schoolingontherock.com. God is getting my/our attention BIG TIME in particular this week over some very SERIOUS call to obedience and opening of my eyes WIDE to a ton (not just FB-but other friends have also led the way before me in this-FB rid)So much need for ridding a ton we have been ignorant of (for our family)! NOW we see. Now that we know. Now is the time to not delay and obey. I do not want to live on the edge of the destructive slippery slope of the enemy. I do not want to be a stumbling block! We want to lead our sons by example, we have lacked, and led in some ways that have been poorly, naive, ignorant, but God is A REDEEMER! We have led them to rich truth diligently as well. We are holding our choices to the LIGHT of TRUTH, of GODS standard AND SEE HIS GLORY and our sin, and His forgiveness, grace, and NOW to obey!! And realize we need to kick it in high gear! We care about the baton, the legacy we pass on to our sons. Entrapments of this world, mind games of social media, media. Falsehood. Deception. There are deceitful works of darkness, and we thank Jesus for His faithfulness to His own. Amazing Grace. I do not know if I will reach a full head of gray hair before I see Jesus 🙂 or before He raptures His church, Only He knows the time. I do know He is coming soon! I LOVE YOU ALL.”

I have many people who have said I inspire them with my writings.  All I want to say to that is, I am a wretched sinner saved by Christ’s amazing grace.  I really am.  Desperate, needy, was in need of saving of my soul.  Jesus has saved me.  And He alone saves me daily from my flesh.  He is patient, kind, forgiving, and forever with me.  Forever helping me.  I have emotions, days when I feel like a mess, but at the end of the day, God’s grace is sufficient.  And I just point to HIM!  We all need saving!  We all need to repent, and turn to Christ as Lord.  And once we initially do, we will seek Him.  And keep seeking Him.  And find more treasure each and every day.  We will not like it when we know we are lacking.  We will want more of His way.  We will love His Words.  We will love the truth.  We will love His commands.  They will not be burdensome, they will be life to those who have been truly adopted into the Family of God.

So let us pray.  Pray for one another.  Pray for God to examine our hearts, and show us in His Kindness where we lack, where we need more of Christ, and let us surrender again to Him.  Surrender to Him and receive Him LORD, ruler, authority over our lives.  Let us allow Him to keep cutting away our flesh and making us more like Jesus.  So that we will one day appear before Him, and live with Him forevermore, perfect and complete.

 

Amen.
