" The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.
By Faith the World was called into existence,
Bu Faith Abel brought a better sacrifice than Cain,
By Faith Enoch skipped death,
By Faith Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land,
By Faith Abraham said yes to God's call,
By Faith barren Sarah was able to become pregnant.......etc" Hebrews 11 ( THE MESSAGE )
" The Fundamental fact is that I trust God, and desire him to be that firm foundation and he makes my life worth living.
By Faith I will conquer and remove the sins that hinder my life.
By Faith I will sacrifice my own life for my loving Savior.
By Faith I will live again once my time on this earth is over.
And by Faith I too will say yes to God's call!

I AM STUDY LESSON SEVEN
Discussion Questions:
1. How would you answer the questions, "Who Am I?"
Who I am is not what I have. It sure is not what others think I am, or even what I desire me to be. I am who God made me to be. This is what I think of who I am: I am a child of God, I am forgiven, I am loved by the almighty, I am set free from shame and guilt, I am cherished and relished by Jesus, I am wonderful and beautiful made, I am justified through faith, I am sanctified, I am holy and without fault, I am God's masterpiece, I am made complete in Christ. I am also a friend, mother, sister, cousin, and niece. I am beautiful. I am smart.
2. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt inadequate because of your lack of a 'tagline'?
There are many times and many situations in which I feel inadequate. But the only thing that gets me through is knowing that out of my mess Jesus is blessed!
3. Do you have skills or position that you believe God could use mightily if only He would?
Humm yes and no to this question. I now I have skills, but it is truly God who determines where and when I use them, I am not angry or jealous at others who are doing what I desire. Because with everything there is a season. So I just sit back and now that one day that season may be mine.
4. Have you ever lost a position or station in life you believe could have 'helped God out' with something He has asked you to do? If you haven't lost out, do you perhaps feel you have to gain this in order to be useful to the Kingdom?
Yes I have and the reason I lost that position was because of me. I now I desired to keep that position, to "help God out" but I realized that maybe there is more for me. Maybe God desires for something else for me.
5. How are you with your dialogue vs. doubt conversations with God? Which does God hear most from you?
I think both. I talk to Him a lot, and I mean a lot. Some would say I talk to myself, cause I do talk, but not to myself. I talk to God like he is sitting across from me. And the funny thing about that is I catch myself doing that a lot in public. :} But there is a lot of doubt in me as well. I truly doubt my purpose in life, am I headed in the right direction, am I raising my kids right, etc.
6. Do you believe God's Wonders become more wonderful if they originate in the ordinary? Any Scripture references come to mind?
Yes I sure do. A lot I could write but none I can share, this is something God wants to reveal to me.

The Joys Of Homeschooling
Ok so like I haven't started Homeschooling yet, but I think about it all the time.
I felt the stir in my heart about 8 months ago to dive head first into the Lords will for my childrens lives. Once the idea, and excitement wore off, reality hit. And not in a bad way, just in a holy cow way. I was overwhelmed with the even notion, and God changed that in me. Right now its the whole preparing for the harvest to set forth that scares me. Cause we all now that the enemy sure puts doubt into our little brains and tries to kill, destroy and steal the truth in us.
I find myself, wanted to prepare the crop for harvest. Preparing the house and preparing myself for this journey. I take it very seriously and care deeply that I go in the right direction...forward. I pray each day for that guidance I need. And yet I still feel totally and completely unprepared.
Lord will bring me forth in this journey I now, but you now sometimes wisdom helps it a little. And cause I really have little wisdom in this area, I will accept any suggestions!

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
To be washed in Heaven's rain...
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid...
This song is so amazing, I feel the Holy Spirit shivering through my entire body when I play this song. This song represents the awesome Healing power of my Lord Jesus Christ. This song is the desire of my heart for others and myself. And I pray that this week, is filled with Gods healing power and let it rain in your life.
This is a link to a myspace place where this song can be played, enjoy! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=860967482
