Verses

I feel like God wants me to share two of His verses that have been on my heart all day today. Luke 14:11 "For whoever exalts himself will be humiliated, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 17:20 "Because your faith is so small," He replied; "for I declare to you in truth that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove and nothing shall be impossible to you." God has placed those so much on my heart and mind today that I had them printed out and have carried them and looked at them throughout the day. Maybe it is meant for me but I also feel as though it was something He desired I 'put out there' for others to be reminded of. Well either way, I prayed different times today with these two verses in mind. And particularly about the second verse; that if I ask God to remove something that I can expect it so I did. I asked God whole hearted to remove 'things' and busywork from interfering with my one on one precious times with Him (God), Hannah, little Jesse, and my husband. There is so much busy junk that just 'happens' that I feel God was telling me to shut off. What's funny is that today after I prayed that I couldn't sign onto my email account; it was 'magically' having issues for hours. Later however I was able to sign into it but I knew it was a choice, something that I had to decide if I was going to choose the Internet over other things God is calling me for. I talked to Him about this for about 2 minutes and I will say I signed onto my email to check on one simple thing I was expecting, but after that I was off of it. It was the right thing to do. Technology and the Internet is a tricky thing. It can grab you and hold you in some kind of power and dominance putting it above everything else; it's very real and you need to be cautious and careful about not allowing yourself to get caught up in that trap. (I am only writing this after everyone is in bed and mainly because I feel God is telling me to.) I spent the rest of the day talking with and reading 'The Pretty Princess Devotional Bible" with my precious 5 yr. old Hannah. Then I spent time comforting our 3 yr. old son Jesse who has come down with fever (probably got it from me unfortunately), and then watched a silly movie with my husband. It was the perfect way to end the night. I will still be writing in my journal (this blog) of course, but maybe not as often and I won't be checking my emails as much either to correspond with family/friends. There's other ways for that. And I have a family to tend to here, right at home that needs me and should always come first. After God of course. Love you guys.
