Lord Willing
James 4:13-17
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
By nature, I am a planner. Before I go to sleep, I am thinking what my first plan of action will be in the morning. Which is usually get up and fix me a cup of coffee. But I am so detailed that I will plan out exactly how many times I will hit the snooze button before succumbing to the day.
I want to be a "Lord willing" type of person. I have heard at times, a person say, "I am going to do this or that, Lord willing". Right now, we have a lot of decisions that need to be made, and I, in my infinate wisdom, want to plan it all out. Open my Microsoft Excell sheet, list it all out, and make sure nothing is overlooked.
Lord, help me to submit my life to Your will. Instead of making plans and leaving You out of them, I want You to be in the center of it. Help me to be a "Lord willing" person.

2009: What did I learn?
I love the reflection that a new year brings, and one of the blogs I follow, she did such an amazing job, it inspired me. I thought, hey why not go back and recap those things I learned this year (well hopefully I learned, you may see some repostings!). Here's what I've done (and it may backfire), I have listed the title of my blogs in order, and the first sentence or statement of that blog. Let me know what you think! Thanks Suzy! Go check out her blog!
January:
I Will Praise the Lord - I Will Praise The Lord Words and Music by Ray Boltz
Faith, Worth More Than Gold - 1 Peter 1:6-7 In this you greatly rejoice,
Seeking - Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Seeking: Marvelous Mysteries - Here is a continuation of the last blog:
Deep - Psalms 42:7-8 Deep calls to deep at the soudn of Your waterfalls;
Finding Life - Withering Away
February:
Sacrifice: Abraham and Isaac - The story of Abraham is a story of patience (and impatience),
Psalms 19 - The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Radiation - Romans 8:18-25 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
March:
Just feel like writing - I give my life
On The Outside Looking In - Little girl hair all in bows, looking through a toy store window.
I Finally Get It - Below is an email I recently sent to my hubby about some confusion I had been having regardin Hebrews 2.
Hmmm - Childsplay
April:
Let My Silence Be Praise - Sweet melody to Your ears alone.
Dare to Hope? - Psalms 42:5 Why are you in despair, O my soul?
May:
Counting the Cost - Luke 14:25-33 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus,
Sacrifice: The Ram in the Bush - Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.
June:
The Stand - Hillsong United - You stood before creation
Discipleship: Getting ready for swimsuit season - Yes, I know the title is strange.
Worship Me - Lord, I want to worship You.
Another Honest Scrap - Ha! I don't know how to do this
July:
My Soul Cries Out - In the hollow of Your hands You have measured the depths of every sea
By Your Word - Upon this straight and narrow path You have placed my feet.
Run For Your Life - This was a very moving video
Like a Cloud Over My Head - First let me just say, "Ugh!" (that about sums it up)
The Valley Song by Jars of Clay - You have led me to this sadness
Psalms 91:1 - He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (Amen!)
August:
Briefly - Well, this will be brief. (Kind of redundant, huh?)
September:
Healer - I have loved this song from the first time I heard it.
October:
My Beloved-Kari Jobe - Your my beloved
December:
Reason for The Season - Christmas trees with bright stars atop, (haha, not the point of that blog at all!)
I hope to be posting more this year, I had set a goal last year to double my posts from the previous year (I didn't reach it) and maybe this year I will be able to double last years posts. But I want to keep this focused on the Lord, it is because of Him that I write!
I pray you all had wonderful New Year, and may God bless you in 2010!
