Some of my favorite movie and tv lines

When I was a kid me and my sisters and brother would quote movie lines and see if the others could guess what movie it was off of. The stupid thing was that we pretty much always used the same lines. I thought I would name off a few:

'Hey you guys'
Goonies

'As you wish'
'I'm not a witch, I'm your wife. But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that any more.'
Princess Bride

'I carried a watermelon'
'Baby, is that your name?'
Dirty Dancing

'NOT THE MAMA!'
Dinosaurs

'How RUDE'
Full House

We tended to watch the same movies and shows over and over again, and I know I've got more mixed up in this brain of mine, but that's all I've got for you for now. I'm more interested in seeing your comments on some of those movie or tv lines that have stuck with you over the years.
Keep it clean peeps!!

Bringing it back to 'Simple'

For some reason, lately, the most simple tasks have seemed overwhelming. I'm not feeling up to keeping the normal speed of my busy life, and honestly, haven't been. I'm really feeling like there is a point were we need to listen to that still small voice that is whispering 'rest', and be okay with a slower pace.

I guess it's time to smell the roses; even if the laundry isn't 100% done, the floors need mopped, and the tub needs a good cleaning.

I know most of the time when I'm feeling like I need to rest it seems like an impossible desire to fulfill, and I think it's because I don't see it as a necessity but rather, a privilege or treat. Isaiah changed my mind about that:

Isaiah 30:15-18
15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning [to Me] and resting [in Me] you shall be saved; in quietness and in [trusting] confidence shall be your strength. But you would not,

16 And you said, No! We will speed [our own course] on horses! Therefore you will speed [in flight from your enemies]! You said, We will ride upon swift steeds [doing our own way]! Therefore will they who pursue you be swift, [so swift that]

17 One thousand of you will flee at the threat of one of them; at the threat of five you will flee till you are left like a beacon or a flagpole on the top of a mountain, and like a signal on a hill.

18And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

If speeding my own course means the enemy has more access to me I think rest is necessity!!

Is the Lord asking you to 'rest' right now?

Abolishing the Lies

Don't tell me that I have to be stressed out all the time because I'm a 'single mom'.
The Prince of Peace causes me to walk in peace!
Proverbs 3:17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

Don't say that my kid is going to be screwed up because I'm a 'single mom'.
Because God is the Father to the fatherless, my son will grow up to be a man of valor and Godly character!
Psalm 68:5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.

Don't speak over me that life HAS to be hard, confusing, and lonely because I'm a 'single mom'.
I find rest, clarity, and companionship in my intimate times with the Lord.
Matthew 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Don't tell me that I have to work 3 jobs because I'm a 'single mom'.
God is my Provider, and He supplies all our needs according to His riches and Glory.
Philippians 4:19And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Corinthians 9:10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

Don't say to me that my son will have to raise himself because I'm a 'single mom'.
His grace is sufficient for me; supplying the correct measure of energy I need to raise him up every day, and when I am feeling in lack God is big enough to carry both of us.
Hebrews 4:16Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

One of the most powerful things we can do to abolish the lies the enemy has been throwing at us is to speak them out and then blow them up with TRUTH in The Word.
What has the enemy been lieing to you about? What is the truth that will abolish that lie? What does God's word say?
We live in a world full of stereotypes and deceptions. God never wanted moms to raise kids alone, but none of our situations caught Him by surprise, and He is fully capable of taking care of us right where we are at. That's the Truth!!!

10 things I actually remember doing this week:

The Divine Romance

I was just wondering if any bloggers have read this book? I read it during a trip to Missouri in July, and upon finishing it turned it over and am in the middle of reading it again. This book contains such a pure vision of God's purpose for His people, and creation. My understanding of being part of the Bride of Christ has expanded from reading this book.

I HIGHLY recommend this amazing read!!! Go and get it today!!

I Choose Reality

I know that there is a Reality that is much higher then the things I see around me;
much much higher then my circumstances.

This Reality is the thing I wish to grab a hold of,

The very thing that I want to set my gaze upon,

The only thing I want to put my trust in.

The reality's name is Jesus
King of kings
Protector
Provider
Comforter
Friend
Husband
Healer of the broken hearted
Redeemer
Abba Father
Prince of Peace
More then enough
Constant Stability
Unconditional Love
Director of my path
Recorder of my tears
Holder of my hand
Faithful All The Time
The I AM What ever you need, when you need it, right on time!!!!

What is Wrong in this Picture?

This is NOT me; matter of fact: I don't even know this lady, and REALLY don't want to.

On a serious note, I will hopefully soon be blogging on something serious. There is a lot going on in my life right now, but I'm having a hard time getting it all out, so I'm attempting to lose myself in random, weird humor. If I don't come back to myself soon someone come and rescue me.
