Thankfulness to Our Lord Jesus

It is November, a time for thanks. Also a time where life gets so busy and hectic we can forget to take time to thank the Lord for all we are and have. So I would like to take a moment to list the things I am thankful for:
1. Jesus and his way of teaching me forgiveness, teaching me to over come the hardships that we must go through to grow in this life.
2. My wonderful Husband of almost 29 years, he is kind, generous, loving, hard working and a man of God.
3. My Children whom I think are all wonderful in each there own way. I love them so much.
4. My grandbabies all of them, they bring such a joy to my heart to see their smiles, to get their hugs, and to hear their "I love you Nana". To be able to watch them grow.
5. For our house be it as it may, needing alot of work and restoration.... This must be how God looks at me!
6. Our property, where we can go to get away, to share the beauty of nature with God, to see the wildlife, smell the fresh air, a view the stars, with heaven sitting behind.
I am so thankful for a blessed year, where we have had plenty of food, warmth, love and laughter. A good job for my husband and the luck to be able to be a homemaker and help meet for my husband. I am truely blessed and I want to thank-you Jesus, for all the things you have given me and mine. Help to keep me on track Lord, looking upwards, always with you on my heart. Help me to be a good person, willing to help someone less fortunate than me. Let me be a laborer for someone who is in need, and Lord let me do these things with a cheerfull heart. In Jesus Name I am Thankfull. Amen!
Blessing to All

Proverbs 31

Wow I read Proverb 31 with an open eyes and heart this time. Amy ask us to read Matt. 6:33 ALOUD "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." This spoke to my heart, above all else seek God, Put God and his ways first in my life! Be a Help Meet to your husband, a wonderful mother to your children, keep your home well, but first you need to have God and a relationship with him. "With God all things are possible."Matt. 19:26.
Amy ask us to find two scriptures that we women can use a guidelines for godly living. I found two that were also listed by Amy. Proverbs 14:1"The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands." and
Titus 2:3-5 "The older woman likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Since I am an older woman, with young married daughters I find Titus 2:3-5 to be full of wisdom. Amy also asked to lis things about Bathsheba that stand out. 1. She wants a hard working woman. 2. One that will love and cherish her home and family. 3. And my favorite verse is Proverbs31:27, "She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." Bathsheba loves her son and wants a woman worthy of him.
The verse Poverbs 31:27 list above is what I most would like to accomplish, I want to have a home where my husband is happy to come home to, with all things finished for the day and ready to make him feel like a King, and I want to have busy hands that are NOT idle. And last but not least, I am afraid to say I do not have one woman in my life who I would like to think of as a true Proverbs 31 woman. Religion was not a part of my family life. I was raised by my Mother who was married 6 times and drank most of my childhood. I loved her dearly, and I miss her so, but God was not a part of my life then. So here I am now at 47 searching for what God wants for me. Thank You Amy for this lovely study!

Introduction to: In Pursuit of Prov.31

This is my introduction post, for the Bible study In Pursuit of Prov. 31, and I have posted my answers the following thought provoking questions below:


What do you hope to get out of this bible study?
I hope to have God show me his will for my life. To help me be the very best wife and help meet I can be. To Love Our Father in Heaven first and place him number one in my life. I want to shine with a light that show the love of Jesus to others.

What, if anything, has prevented you from studying these scriptures in the past?
I have read Proverbs 31 before, but God is leading me to strenghten my resolve to be the woman he wants of me. So now I am going to study Proverbs 31 word for word and in depth, praying for a revelation to my soul.

What have you found helpful or frustrating about living out these scriptures?
On this last question I will have to let you know as the study goes on. I am ready to go to work though! LOL! God willing!
Blessings to all!

God is in total controll....
My husband just found out that his job will be ending maybe as soon as Monday, Nov. 10,2008. He is in the Laborers Union, so in the construction industry. Our economics in this contry is not a very pretty site. Construction is on the down ward slope, as is a lot of others jobs. It is a scary time, But with all I have I give my worries to God, For I know he will take care of us.
Matt. 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
I think we all must turn our hearts and eyes to the Lord. Get on our knees and Pray. Give our all to God, our father in heaven. We need to know with uncertainty that everything in our world is exactly what God wants for us. We are either to learn lessons from what is going on, or do the works that God has lead us to do. We need to head his biggest commandment " Love one another" without reservation. Love unconditionally, and give and help each other. Pay it Forward so to speak.... Our God is an awesome God. Praise him, and know he is in controll.
Thank you God for all you do for me and my family. Guide me and lead me, May I make you proud of the woman I am trying to become.
Blessing and Love to All TracyJayne

An anwser from God

Isn't God Awesome? Yes he is.... Yesterday in my blog I wrote that I wanted God's will to shape my life, I want to make him proud. This morning I sat down at my computer and read my e-mail, every morning I get an e-mail from Pastor Allen out of Hayward CA. It is called " God's Minute. Today his topic is finding God's will...... I have inserted a portion of God's minute below. Sometimes God has a way of speaking right to your heart, and this spoke to me.

Now as David said;

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my plath. For the word of the LORD is right, and all His work is done in truth. ( Psalms 119:105 & 33:4 )

After all it is written;

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, ( Hebrews 4:12 )

Therefore , today we will take a look at some very interesting facts about God's Letter to us, The Holy Bible!

What is the shortest chapter in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 117; with only 2 verses!

What is the longest chapter in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 119; with 176 verses!

Which chapter is in the center of the Bible? Answer - Psalms 118

There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118.

There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118.

Add up the 594 plus 594, and you get 1188.

Now what is the center verse in the Bible? Answer - Psalms 118:8

It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. ( Psalms 118:8 )

Now I ask you, does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives? Well yes, indeed it does! So the next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives, or that they want to be in the center of His will, just send them to the center of His Holy Word, for the answer will be found there!

Now Tracy, isn't it amazing how this worked out? ( Well actually not at all, for God is in the center of it, and His Word is alive as well! , and Ministers to us every time we read it! ) Amen.

Wow, Our God is an awesome God! Dear God, today I come to you with Thanks, thanks for this life you have given to me. Please Bless our country and law makers, our people to make rightous choices. Bless my family, near and far and keep us wrapped in the warmth of your love. Bless this site with your knowleadge Lord, and may your word be an awakeing to my soul. Amen!

1 Cor. 13:4-8

1 Cor. 13:4-8
"Love is always patient and kind;
It is never jealous; Love is never boastful or conceited;
It is never rude or selfish, it does not take offense, and is not resentful.
Love take no pleasure in other peiples sins, but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to EXCUSE, to TRUST, to HOPE and to ENDURE
whatever comes.
Love never ends."

Line for line I want to make this passage show in my life. In every way.... God bless me that through your words I may grow as a woman who will make you proud. Change me Lord, in the ways you want me to grow, and may your will be my life. To you I give my all. And I know that with "With God all things are possible" Matthew 19:26

The Lord is my Shepherd (Ps.23:1)
The Chief Shepherd (1Pet 5:4)
The Good Shepherd (John 10:14)
The Great Shepherd (Heb 13:20)
As his Lamb I want to know His voice, depend on Him and follow Him.
I am certainly a work in progress!

This morning I devoted myself to a pray to my Lord, I asked for his guideince in these tough times. Someting is pulling me to be preparded. I know the Lord is speaking to me. Let me follow with a true heart. Let the love of the Lord show through me with kindness, comfort and love.
I am searching for a study to teach me to be a women of Proverbs. I strive to be the best help meet I can be. With God all things are possible. Matt 19:26
I know he will lead me.
