Lord Dont You Care?

How many times in your Christian walk have you said this? We all have. Rather it's unanswered prayers, a death. struggles we are faced with. We have all been there, and we will continue to go through these things.

We want things done in our time for one, and that's not how God works. Its in his timing. We must have patients! Which I can say, I didn't do good with this and have a problem with it at times still. If God doesn't  take care of  it when I want it. I allow myself to go into worry and fear sets in then good old doubt. So I try to fix things myself lol well guess what I still don't get what I want and instead of sitting back and allowing God's will be done in his timing, I just caused myself a mess that I didn't need because I allowed my faith to slip by. I have learned so much over the years to not trust in myself and others but fully on God and his timing and guess what he has never ever failed me. Thank You Lord!!!

Though it does sneak up on me at times to allow that question want to come out but then I just pray and thank him for all the times he has been there for me and my family and it brings the question to a Holt. He Loves me!!! He loves me!!!! and He does care!! Praise God He does care.

So when you feel those words wanting to be said, pray a thankful prayer to the Father and you will see he does care and he is always with us even when we thank he is not.

Psalm 103

Of David.

1Praise the Lord, O my soul;

all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

2Praise the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits—

3who forgives all your sins

and heals all your diseases,

4who redeems your life from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion,

5who satisfies your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6The Lord works righteousness

and justice for all the oppressed.

7He made known his ways to Moses,

his deeds to the people of Israel:

8The Lord is compassionate and gracious,

slow to anger, abounding in love.

9He will not always accuse,

nor will he harbor his anger forever;

10he does not treat us as our sins deserve

or repay us according to our iniquities.

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear him;

12as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

14for he knows how we are formed,

he remembers that we are dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass,

he flourishes like a flower of the field;

16the wind blows over it and it is gone,

and its place remembers it no more.

17But from everlasting to everlasting

the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,

and his righteousness with their children’s children—

18with those who keep his covenant

and remember to obey his precepts.

19The Lord has established his throne in heaven,

and his kingdom rules over all.

20Praise the Lord, you his angels,

you mighty ones who do his bidding,

who obey his word.

21Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,

you his servants who do his will.

22Praise the Lord, all his works

everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, O my soul

Move Mercy Me....

This song gets me up and moving and ready for my day.

New Start

Oh what a great day so far for me. I have been up got kids off to school hubby and oldest son of to work, read a new devotional book,  had some prayer time, walked a mile and starting a new blog. Feeling pretty good about my day I must say.

Been  crazy last year for me and my family, but its all coming full circle and we're getting back to where we need to be. Thank You Jesus!.... As you can tell I'm a wife...mother...and Christian.. the three best things in life to be....but I'm also a daughter..sister..and friend. as must of us woman are some of those things also. Well don't know about you but sometimes being all those can be tough...if you are like me you fill pulled in so many direction sometimes...you take in all the worry of things (at least I do)...want things to be just right all the time...Well guess what? they are not and boy I'm I learning that for sure.

Do you know the story of Mary and Martha from the bible? Which are you? Well just started a book that I was reading a while back Called 'Having A Mary Heart In A Martha World' by Joanna Weaver. That's so How I feel.  I am so Martha going all the time...wanting everything just right not taking a break that I'm missing out on getting closer to God. I want to be Mary and sitting at his feet and just taking it all in but oh I will in a min.  let me get this done...or run here....hold on Jesus be done in min....let me get dinner do the wash then I will be ready....ummmm nope by then I'm so wore out that I'm falling asleep on couch.

To think Jesus is just sitting there waiting on me to make the right choose...to have a sit at his feet and listen...pray...read his word...just talk with him...but I allow myself to let this world take that time from me. Well today I have decided I'm giving my savior that time each day....hey he died on a cross for ME? was beaten so bad for ME? I want that relationship with him. I want to be at his feet like Mary instead of missing out cause I'm in the kitchen like Martha.

In the scripture Martha says to the Lord...Make her help me she has done nothing! But Jesus says " Martha Martha  you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her" Luke 10, 38-42

Well I want to chose what is better. Don't you? If so try to set aside a little time to spend with Jesus each day, it will be tough in this Martha kinda of world...with all the things life brings up on us as woman we are just so tired and wore out to give anymore. but remember this scripture:

"Come to me all you who are weary, and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you learn from me. I am gentle and humbled in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yolk is easy and my burden is light" Mathew 11; 28-30

Don't know about you, but that say so much to me...I wanna rest in my saviors arms...cause at times this world is to much for me!!

God Bless
