...there was a woman who found a 100 dollar bill. She took it to the local police station and asked if anyone had come looking for a missing 100 dollar bill. "Nope, sorry!" the police man said, "If no one comes to claim it in 7 days its yours!" So the woman came back 7 days later to check and see if the missing 100 dollar bill had found its owner. "No one has come to claim it! She is all yours." said the police man. The woman took the 100 dollar bill and said a prayer, "Lord, what would you have me do with this money? Please show me." She then went to the grocery store to get some groceries and up ahead of her in line at the check out counter she noticed a woman who was putting things aside because she didn't have enough money. These items included things like dippers, and home essentials. Quickly the woman pulled out the $100 and gave it to the woman in front of her in line. This woman burst into tears and thanked her over and over again. This is a beautiful example of how God can use us to bring blessings into others lives, but the story isn't over yet. The very next day, the woman found $100 in her purse. She was puzzled. Hadn't she just given $100 to the woman in the grocery store?? "Well Lord," she said, "show me what to do with this $100." That day, God showed her another individual who was desperately in need of money. And can you guess what happened the next morning?? There was another $100 in the woman's purse!! This happened 27 more times! Wow! What a beautiful story of what happens when we place ourselves in God's hands and give our means, talents, and time to Him.<br />
<br />
This is a story that my aunt told me, and she heard it from a sermon. I don't know who preached the sermon, and I don't know the woman in the story, so I don't know who to credit for this story. But it hit me in a powerful way and I pray that it did the same for you.Kalysehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123419267763192412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221625273526415007.post-39459562854201179592016-08-14T12:20:00.002-07:002016-08-14T12:20:33.546-07:00Believing is Trusting<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
God has been teaching me so much this summer! One of the biggest lessons I have learned this summer is <b>trust.</b> Simple trust in the Creator who cares for us and <b>WANTS to bless us</b>. Have any of you been stressed lately? I just feel like the world is a place where stress too easily controls our lives. I was dealing with a tremendous amount of stress this summer (two jobs, and studying for boards), and it was such a burden. But God has been showing me that <b>being stressed about my life is showing a lack of trust in Him</b>. Ok, so bear with me here as I try to explain this. So, if someone asks, “Do you believe in God?” We respond with, “Yes! I believe in God.” Now, <b>what if believing, is trusting</b>. If someone asked “Do you trust in God?” Could we as readily answer “Yes! I place my trust in God every day!” In order to trust what someone is saying, you need to believe them right? So if you truly believe someone, then you trust them as well, right? So, in these verses, I will be replacing the word believe with trust. This gives a deeper context to these verses and their application in our lives filled with stress.</div>
<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- “And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they <b>[trust]</b> me, for all the signs which I have showed among them?” - Numbers 14:11 (God has shown us so many examples of what happens when we willingly place our trust in Him, yet it is still a daily struggle).</div>
<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- “<b>[Trust]</b> in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established” - 2 Chronicles 20:20 (Prosperity comes not from taking things in our own hands, but from trusting that God will take care of us and multiply our labors so that our needs are met).</div>
<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- “And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement: of sin, because they <b>[trust]</b> not on me.” - John 16:8-9 (Not trusting God is actually a sin. Not trusting God separates us from Him and the definition of sin is a separation from God. Therefore, stress (unhealthy stress) is actually sin).</div>
<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>- “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst <b>[trust]</b>, all things are possible to him that <b>[trusteth]</b>.” - Mark 9:23 </div>
<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: ChalkboardSE-Regular; font-size: 12px;">
I stress way too much in life, and God has been showing me the deep significance of putting my trust in Him, and not stressing. This is encouraging! Because life is so much better because we have a God that we can trust! The stresses that burden those in this world don’t have to hold on to us! Trusting God. If we haven’t built up the trust in Him now, we won’t stand the test at the end. As school starts for some of us, and as others are looking for jobs, and all of us as we live life day to day, remember to <b>Trust God!</b> John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye [trust] in God....” </div>

This particular lesson that I learned was about the importance of building altars in our lives. Abraham wasn't a perfect man. We so often put these Bible characters on pedestals, when in reality they were sinful human beings just like you and me. They did amazing things through God's strength, yet they also made terrible mistakes. Currently, in this story of Abraham, he has just been called by God to leave his homeland and travel to a place where God will show him.<br />
Genesis 12:6-9 says, "Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, '<b>To your offspring I will give this land.</b>' So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel...and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb."<br />
Notice here that the Lord appeared to Abram with a <b>promise.</b> I am sure that after traveling through land that is filled with Canaanites would be intimidating and confusing for Abraham, but God gave him encouragement and comfort through his <b>promise</b> that someday all this land would belong to Abrahams offspring. This was a time in Abrahams life when he <u><i>needed to see God</i>,</u> and have <u><i>a promise to remember</i>,</u> therefore he<i> <u>built an altar.</u></i> Then as he continued to travel I believe that he got discouraged again, or needed to speak to the Lord to gain strength. Here is says that Abraham called on the name of the Lord and built another altar. <i><u>Then after being encouraged he moved on.</u></i><br />
As Genesis continues, it recounts how Abraham traveled to Egypt and because he was afraid people would kill him to get to his wife, he told people that Sarah was his sister. We all know this story, and that it didn't end well. Pharaoh took Sarah, but was afflicted with many plagues and soon discovered what Abraham had done. After returning Sarah to Abraham and sending him away, I am sure that <i><u>Abraham felt very discouraged</u></i>. <i><u>He had made a big mistake </u></i>in his life. He had not asked God whether he should go to Egypt in the first place, and he showed a lack of trust in God by lying to protect himself. <i><u>Abraham had sinned and needed to reconnect with God</u></i>. So what did he do?<br />
Genesis 13:1-4 "So Abram went up from Egypt...into the Negeb...And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning...to the place where he had made an altar at the first. And there Abram called upon the name of the Lord."<br />
<b>When you find yourself distant from God, or in a new situation where you don't feel God and you are unsure of his presence, return to the place where you saw him last. Return to the altars that you have built in your past. (<i>Don't forget to build those altars when you do see and feel God in your life!</i>) Call upon the name of the Lord in the way and in the place where you felt his assuring presence. This might mean going to a particular <i>place,</i> or it might mean that you start having your <i>devotions a</i>gain, or <i>praying </i>more regularly, or maybe you need to <i>talk with someone</i> who has helped you to see Jesus before. Don't give up, but use the ways God has lead you in the past to keep you moving towards him.</b><br />

Be still!"Wow...So I have not posted on here in WAY too long! Life has kinda taken control of my time! But I feel the Spirit calling and I need to start blogging again. I am sitting here, 11:00 at night, reading for an assignment in my Bible class. The past two weeks have been the worst weeks I have had in a VERY long time. Yet I feel this peace...I am reading in Mark for my Bible class, and I just read about the storm on the sea where Jesus was sleeping and his disciples called out to Him wondering whether He was just going to let them die! And Jesus woke up and command that the waves and wind BE STILL. I have been going through a lot, and I know there are others out there who are going through a lot, my close friends and family are going through a lot, and here is a word of encouragement for YOU. Jesus had an amazing amount of power and authority in commanding that the wind and water be still. Because of Jesus, and through Him, we can have this same power and authority to command the storms in our lives to be still. Not that the wind and water completely disappear, but that we have PEACE while riding the waves and letting the wind move us forward. Jesus rebuked the waves and wind saying, "Peace! Be still!" -Mark 4:39 You can overcome the circumstances that you are going through right now. They do NOT have control of you. Ask Jesus to give you the victory and to command those waves and winds to, "Peace! Be still!"<br />

This was a waterfall that we went hiking to! It was so cool! Jumped off the first waterfall, and this second one, we swam under it...the water felt so good!! Then afterwards, we hear this noise like as if someone was dropping rocks into the water? Come to find out...the noise was made by eels that were feeding!! So I swam with Pohnpein eels! (apparently the have a pretty nasty bite...)</div>

What a blessing it is to have the Sabbath! There are several different small churches in Pohnpei, and the principle of the school goes to a different church then most of the other student missionaries. He wanted to take me with his family, to his church this Sabbath. So we all climbed into the van; the principles family (5 children currently at this school) and one other student missionary. The church was a beautiful 1 hour drive away from the school. It was exciting to see more of the island. Apparently the island is only about a 2 hour drive long, so we basically drove about half the island to go to church. The church was beautiful! There are two things in particular that made it extra beautiful to me... 1. It had air conditioning... 2. Everyone took their shoes off so that meant I could go barefoot... two things I love! Air conditioning, and going barefoot :) The sermon was preached in Pohnpeinease first, and English second. While it was being preached in the language that I could not understand, I kept the principles youngest daughter busy. She was sitting beside me and we were coloring her new coloring book together. I was coloring the trunk of the tree while she colored the green leaves. Soon she stopped and just watched me color...then she took the brown from me and gave me the green crayon and pointed to the leaves. She wanted me to finish the green leaves and color them like I was coloring the brown. She just sat and watched me for a little while, and then took the green crayon again and tried coloring more green. She soon gave the crayon back to me and asked me to finish it. As I finished filling in the empty white spots between her attempts to stay in the lines, a thought came to mind. My life is like that picture. God is coloring part of it, and I am trying to color part of it..but God's "part" of the picture looks so much better then mine, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get it to look like His. After stepping back to look at the picture, I can clearly tell which part God colored. Something inside me longs for the whole picture to look as beautiful as God's "part" does. So I willingly hand the crayon to God and ask Him to take control. Then after a short while of watching God color, I decide that it doesn't look to hard and I want to try coloring again. So I take the crayon back and work on getting the picture just right. But for some reason I can't seem to stay in the lines. After figuring out that there is no possible way for me to color like God, I hand the crayon back and ask Him to please finish and make the picture look beautiful. All I need to learn, is to leave the crayon in God's hand, because the picture will be more beautiful if He doesn't have to fill in the spots where I was attempting to color inside the lines.Kalysehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123419267763192412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221625273526415007.post-53912743536115992762013-04-11T11:52:00.001-07:002013-04-11T11:52:24.710-07:00Day 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a glorious Lord!</div>

He who daily bears our burdens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
also gives us our salvation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

What a promise!! Not only does God carry our burdens for us, but he gives us salvation and eliminates those burdens! May God carry your burdens for you today, and allow him to completely eliminate them from your life.</div>

Father, we are so weak<br />
Our bodies are fragile and weary<br />
As we stagger and stumble to walk where you lead<br />
Give us faith to be strong<br />
<br />
Give us faith to be strong<br />
Give us strength to be faithful<br />
This life is not long, but it's hard<br />
Give us grace to go on<br />
Make us willing and able<br />
Lord, give us faith to be strong<br />
<br />
Give us peace when we're torn<br />
Mend us up when we break<br />
This flesh can be wounded and shaking<br />
When there's much too much trouble for one heart to take<br />
Give us peace when we're torn<br />
<br />
Give us faith to be strong<br />
Give us strength to be faithful<br />
This life is not long, but it's hard<br />
Give us grace to go on<br />
Make us willing and able<br />
Lord give us faith to be strong<br />
<br />
Give <b>me</b> a heart to find hope<br />
Father, <b>I</b> cannot see<br />
How the sorrow<b> I</b> feel can bring freedom<br />
And as hard as<b> I</b> try, Lord it's hard to believe<br />
So, give <b>me</b> a heart to find hope<br />
<br />
Give <b>me</b> faith to be strong<br />
Give <b>me</b> strength to be faithful<br />
This life is not long, but it's hard<br />

Last weekend one of my little sister's best friend who lives in MI flew all the way out to surprise her. It was so sweet! They had a blast together! Playing all kinds of games and just having fun! Here are some pictures they took and let big sister edit... :)</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I have been reading a book for my Bible class, and it has been really good. I have learned so much! It puts the plan of salvation in such simple terms. The book is called, "All of Grace" by C. H. Spurgeon.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Here it is talking about faith...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
"Another and higher form of faith is that faith which grows out of love. Why does a boy trust his father? The reason why the child trusts his father is because he loves him. Blessed and happy are they who have a sweet faith in Jesus, intertwined with deep affection for Him, for this is a restful confidence. These lover of Jesus are charmed with His character and delighted with His mission; they are carried away by the loving-kindness that He has manifested, and therefore they cannot help trusting Him because they so much admire, revere, and love Him.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The way of loving trust in the Saviour is illustrated by a lady who is the wife of the most eminent physician of the day. She is seized with a dangerous illness and is smitten down by its power, yet she is wonderfully calm and quiet because her husband has made this disease his special study and has healed thousands who were similarly afflicted. She is not in the least troubled, for she feels perfectly safe in the hands of one so dear to her and in whom skill and love are blended in their highest forms. Her faith is reasonable and natural; her husband, from every point of view, deserves it of her. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This is the kind of faith which the happiest of believers exercise toward Christ. There is no physician like Him; none can save as He can. We love Him and He loves us, a therefore we put ourselves into His hands, accept whatever He prescribes, and do whatever He bids. We feel that nothing can be wrongly ordered while He is the Director of our affairs, for He loves us too well to let us perish or suffer a single needless pang." (76)</div>

The pathway is broken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the signs are unclear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I don't know the reason why You brought me here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but just because You love me the way that You do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm gonna walk through the valley</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if You want me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No I'm not who I was</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I took my first step</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if all of these trials bring me closer to You</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then I will walk through the fire</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if You want me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may not be the way I would have chosen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When You lead me through a world that's not my home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But You never said it would be easy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You only said I'll never go alone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when the whole world turns against me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm all by myself,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I can't hear You answer my cries for help</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will walk through the darkness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If You want me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Cause when I cross over Jordan, I'm gonna sing, gonna shout</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gonna look into Your eyes and see You never let me down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will walk through the valley if You want me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
There are many from whom hope has departed. Bring back the sunshine to them. Many have lost their courage. Speak to them words of cheer. Pray for them. There are those who need the bread of life. Read to them from the word of God. Upon many is a soul sickness which no earthly balm can reach nor physician heal. Pray for these souls, bring them to Jesus. Tell them that there is a balm in Gilead and a Physician there...<br />
<br />
The whole earth, wrapped as it is in the darkness of sin, and sorrow and pain, is to be lighted with the knowledge of God's LOVE...<br />
<br />
The message of hope and mercy is to be carried to the ends of the earth...The gloom is to disappear before the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness. The power of hell has been overcome...<br />
<br />
But no man can import that which he himself has not received...It is the LOVE of God continually transferred to man that enables him to impart light. Into the hearts of all who are united to God by faith...LOVE flows freely, to shine out again in good works, in real, heartfelt service for God...<br />
<br />
The indwelling of the Spirit will be shown by the outflowing of heavenly LOVE.<br />
<br />
There is NOTHING that the world needs so much as the manifestation through humanity of the Savior's LOVE...<br />
