I told the guys in our Church group that I have a blog I write in, and that nobody probably reads it...

They asked if I publish it online and stuff, and my answer was "nope, just like to write and read it back to myself"

So I am glad and hopeful one day I can keep reading previous posts and see what was going on in my life at the time...

But unfortunately we are faced with The Present. The problem with us humans is our tendency to live either more in the past or more in the future.

So Presently , today is Sunday Morning 05/04/2014...

I love Sunday Mornings here at our house, its so hard to go to actual church on Sundays, Millie naps around the 11:15 service and the earlier service we couldn't bring ourselves to attend , since we are always wiped out from the morning, but its peaceful here.

I wrestle at times when we cant actually physically attend church, but I sometimes what we really need is rest and time alone with God. For some reason this is easier at home? Atleast with an infant.

Cant wait though to be back in normal churchgoing attendance. Its important. Its a reminder you are not alone and can worship with believers and soak in the Holy Spirit and hear His Word.

I would like to think recently I have been more joyful. I want to choose joy. I want to pursue it. God is my joy. He is my peace.

Joy never goes without peace. Peace never goes without joy.

Rarely am I truly joyful if I don't have peace. Rarely am I peaceful if I am not joyful.

Calm and still are the gifts of God's peace. Thankful that He loves me.

That is truth. God loves me. He doesn't have a BOX. He doesn't put me in a category and then goes off what I am doing wrong vs. what I am doing right.

He doesn't look at me and with frowning eyes cant believe I am not "THAT".

So therefore I will only again concern myself with His love and His worth.

For He sees me...

And with Faith I can truly repeat the words of God Himself...

"Well done my true and faithful son, with whom I am pleased"

He is pleased with you. Not what you aren't.

Peace without joy. Is not peace.

Joy without peace. Is not joy.

God loves you...

Have a good Sunday.
