I am in a season of change. Life is a series of changes. We are enjoying this time of retirement but it too has its challenges. I can say we manage to be as busy as ever before. How does that happen? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">With all that is happening in our world today, I find myself anxious and uneasy. How about you? This morning I was reading Psalm 42 and questioning myself. Does my soul really pant for God... do I desire Him as the Psalmist does? I find myself crying out to Him day and night lately. I am desperate for God and I long for His divine help. There's nothing wrong with that but I realized at times I long for His divine intervention more than I delight in Him for who He is. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="animation-name: none !important; background-color: white; color: #050505; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; transition-property: none !important; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Does my soul pant for God because I love Him or because I need Him? Does it pant for Him like a deer pants for water because I love Him or do I need His hand to step into my current circumstance and save the day? Do I pick Him up only when I need Him? The great thing is … He still commands his lovingkindness to me in the daytime/happy times and in the night/sad times. </span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Is your heart disquieted today?</span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> Disquieted= marked with anxiousness or uneasiness, trouble or grief</span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="animation-name: none !important; transition-property: none !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hope in God and praise Him … even in the midst of it all.

My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.</span></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div></blockquote></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/126/305E8D3A9119A6D5F207CDF8A54CB2AD.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>Farming On Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894316718651283013noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-34726552210771567642021-02-23T08:39:00.004-06:002021-02-23T09:00:03.128-06:00PAINTING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING & This Week's Art Project <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgPmVKZSjik/YDUJvkewmxI/AAAAAAAAOSk/ZDnm16ocN4EqvZKtTP0aX66rShaEcqczACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/780D505B-3D25-4438-8E07-7F1451737F23.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fgPmVKZSjik/YDUJvkewmxI/AAAAAAAAOSk/ZDnm16ocN4EqvZKtTP0aX66rShaEcqczACNcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/780D505B-3D25-4438-8E07-7F1451737F23.jpeg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Finger Painting</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I was a young girl I would ask for paint-by-number kits for Christmas and my birthday.

I did some research and decided to find a more warm gray paint pallet that was not going to look bad with my warm natural wood. The trim had all been professionally painted. Although it looks white is a really light taupe color. My husband did not want to paint over all of the trim so I needed to find a white-ish color that would have the taupe baseline. Once you start painting over that nice glossy trim, you will be painting it forever and it will start to layer and nick so I found colors that go nicely with the trim color. We have learned this the hard way. The rest of the house has been painted a warm gray pallet that goes well with the Alabaster.

I have missed teaching and the time together with women. We are studying the <i>Elijah~ Faith and Fire</i> study by Priscilla Shirer and it is so good. Have you ever stopped to really read this verse? I am having several moments in this study wondering just how I missed this along the way. This is striking me this morning in a new way. Elijah was like the second Moses... a great man of God who walked so close to God in an earnest prayer life. So much so that he never doubted at Mt Carmel's moment that God would come through for him. He made some pretty bold and courageous leaps of faith. He knew that God would answer his prayer.</p><h1 class="passage-display" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial; margin: 0px; min-width: 0px; text-align: start; width: 600.862px;"><div class="bcv d-container go1526788856" style="align-items: center; box-sizing: border-box; float: left; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 16px 0px 0px; min-width: auto; position: relative;"><div class="dropdown-display" style="box-sizing: border-box; flex: 1 1 0%; justify-content: space-between; min-width: 0px; padding-right: 20px; position: relative;"><div class="dropdown-display-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px;"><span style="font-size: small;">James 5:17</span></div><div class="dropdown-display-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="versenum" style="display: inline; font-weight: 700; line-height: normal; position: relative; top: auto; vertical-align: text-top;"></span>Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.</span></div></div></div></h1><div class="passage-text" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-top: 50px; min-width: 0px; text-align: start;"><div class="passage-content passage-class-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px;"><div class="version-KJV result-text-style-normal text-html" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-width: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Yet~ Elijah was just like me. I love this so much. The original word to describe Elijah in James 5:17 is <i>anthropos, </i>which refers to all human beings living in the human race. He was not from a very great place. Gilead was rough and rocky. It was not a place of prestige. Elijah was not anything special or from anywhere special. He was a man of humble means. Wow~ that is nice to know. Sounds much like me again. We see at times that he was hungry and grew tired. When I get tired, I get irritable. He was easily discouraged and despondent. At times he was insecure and doubtful. Just like me. I get that way too. And when I am hungry and tired... I get grouchy. In other words~ Elijah was just like me and you. He had emotional breakdowns and he wallowed in self-pity. Do you ever do that? Even after he called down fire from Heaven, he ended up in fear and perionoid~ running away. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I hate it when I find myself in fear, insecurity, and discouragement. I have seen God move in my life. I know that I can trust Him and He has always provided for me. I am relieved to know that even the giants of the faith struggled too. He failed too and he was human too. Guess what that means? HE NEEDED GOD TOO!</p><p style="text-align: left;">In the Bible study, she points out that God was not once scared off by Elijah's failures. God knew what weaknesses that he had and he worked with them. He lovingly cared for Elijah and grew him in his faith. He used Elijah anyway in spite of his human weaknesses. God is not disappointed by our weaknesses and that is just a great reason to celebrate today. He has a plan for our lives and He is using it all for a purpose and a plan. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;">"Biblical heroes are examples of what happens when an ordinary </p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;">life intersects with an extraordinary God." #ElijahBibleStudy</p></div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div></blockquote><p style="text-align: left;"> </p></div><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/126/305E8D3A9119A6D5F207CDF8A54CB2AD.png" style="background-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>Farming On Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894316718651283013noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-65255844976488074542021-02-07T15:05:00.007-06:002021-02-07T15:29:55.867-06:00A Sweet Valentine and More Snow At Farming On Faith<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iASuEhJLUak/YCBOt_-hwnI/AAAAAAAAOPA/xEkXZyHgVewSYH0Rb_2NXErws2QdULK0ACNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/64CA7D71-8307-4C6B-BBE6-648A1E3056AA.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iASuEhJLUak/YCBOt_-hwnI/AAAAAAAAOPA/xEkXZyHgVewSYH0Rb_2NXErws2QdULK0ACNcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/64CA7D71-8307-4C6B-BBE6-648A1E3056AA.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5031FZdcFjI/YCBPAgtSpTI/AAAAAAAAOPI/9BjokLR67-gr02-pZr8GsymUJIsmBk-sgCNcBGAsYHQ/s2048/A2477AFF-4211-43CE-90CC-549D3189FA97.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5031FZdcFjI/YCBPAgtSpTI/AAAAAAAAOPI/9BjokLR67-gr02-pZr8GsymUJIsmBk-sgCNcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/A2477AFF-4211-43CE-90CC-549D3189FA97.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Happy Sunday.

I hate to see hurting people ~ or even animals down to the smallest little creatures. I am that crazy lady who will stop and move the turtle to the other side of the road. I want to fix everything and make everything just peachy. I would rather live in "Sunnyville" all the time. The movies I watch and the books I read need to have a happy ending. It is true of me to a fault.<br />
<br />
My husband often times held me back when it came to our children because sometimes they needed to feel the consequences of this crazy and broken world without me softening it. My oldest daughter told me not long ago that I often made everything ok and when she entered into her own world it was hard realizing the world was not gonna treat her like her momma and make everything ok for her. NO matter how hard... I wish I still could. We mommas never want to see our babies hurt, do we?<br />
<br />
Yet ~ as I turn on the news this morning my momma's heart is heavy. I want to right the wrongs and fix the broken. Yet, these days "Sunnyville" seems to have slid down the slippery slope along with the beloved "Mayberry." No matter how hard I look for them they are nowhere to be found.<br />

<br />
So what are we to do in the current mess we find ourselves in today? This is what I am asking my Heavenly Father. Here is the answer I found in His Word this morning. I am Christ's child and my life belongs to Him. Even though I am walking in the flesh~ I am not to war according to my flesh. That means even though we live in this world~ we are not to wage war like the world does. We are not to fight with the world's weapons but with the divine power of our God. We need to realize that our powerful God has the power to pull down strongholds. We need to take our thoughts captive and look at this war through the eyes of God.<br />

Place all into a crock pot. Set on low. Watch closely. Set a timer and stir every 15 minutes until melted. It takes mine about 45 minutes but all pots are different and it will scorch easily. Drop by the teaspoons onto wax paper until firm. Place in an airtight container. Enjoy! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Mary dressed in rags and she called a tenement her home amid mounds and mounds of garbage. She spent her days digging in garbage cans. She ate her meals from those same trash cans. The local newspaper picked up her story and found out she was known as "Garbage Mary." Mary was finally admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Astonishingly, mixed among the rubble of garbage they found certificates and bankbooks indicating she was worth at least a million dollars.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">When I was newly married I worked at a bank and I personally knew another "Garbage Mary." She had a ton of money. We knew when she had walked in the bank before we saw her coming. She lived as a bag </span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 16pt;">lady but when she passed away the city gained all her money for she had no one to leave her fortune. She had it within her means to live a life of ease but lived out of the garbage cans.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"> From God's standpoint, this is how we sometimes live. As children of God, we still hang on to the "garbage" such as independence, self-righteousness, anger, pride, and unforgiveness. We sometimes choose to live off the garbage of this world when there is so much more as children of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 16pt;">Just as "Garbage Mary" did not have to live off the cast-off trash of others, we too fail to live from our Heavenly resources that are our inheritance from our Father. We have mighty resources at our fingertips. We have the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to help us. We have no excuse for rolling in the dirt of this world when we have the power of God.</span></div>

I teach art on Wednesday... the kids are so much fun. They don't seem to let even a world turned upside down rob them of their joy. We will be painting this picture today. It is always fun to see their creations.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Can you believe that January is already over? I am noticing that the days are getting a bit longer and the sun is bright today in our part of the world. I am already pouring over the seed catalogs in anticipation of getting my hands in the dirt. Our little farmstead has 6 acres around the house that needs to be filled. I mean it is empty. I have my work cut out for me. Are you planting a garden? We plan to plant a garden and a postage stamp size orchard. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This morning I am reading from John 15 about pruning. The pruning process is painful. Those poor little fruit trees look dead after a pruning. I find it interesting that Jesus used this imagery to teach us this lesson. Beauty blossoms from those harsh cuts. So it is in our lives... when we go through a pruning season. I feel like I just came from a huge pruning... I bet you do too. In some seasons of suffering, emotional distress or maybe feeling displaced, it feels like we may never thrive again. What is the life and beauty that God is going to orchestrate from the harshness of the past year in our lives? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">He longs that we stay close to Him because no branch bears fruit all on its own. We need to stay connected to Jesus for nourishment so that we can produce fruit in due season. We can trust God during the good and the bad... in the good seasons and difficult seasons. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Say hello to me and click on over and read along with me. <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A1-12&version=NKJV" target="_blank">John 15:1-12 </a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/126/305E8D3A9119A6D5F207CDF8A54CB2AD.png" style="background-color: transparent; background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>Farming On Faithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09894316718651283013noreply@blogger.com1
