Jim and I had the great privilege of hearing
Kevin share his testimony this past weekend at a church in Hastings, MI. Our hearts and minds will never be the same. We were so beautifully transported to the “upper room” this weekend. So incredibly grateful to God for this special opportunity!

Letting go of stubborn pride…

August 11, 2019 / Blended By His Grace / Leave a comment

Letting go of stubborn pride….

Do I want to be right? Or do I want to be happy? Sometimes letting go of our stubborn pride is the hardest thing to do. We can choose to hold on to grudges. Or we can choose to let go for the sake of freedom and peace.

This doesn’t mean that we are saying the other person is “right.” It is saying that we are choosing peace and happiness for ourselves and our home. Freedom from anger and quarreling.

When we struggle with letting go of blended family issues, we can take it to God and ask Him for His help with letting go and forgiveness.

2 Corinthians 13:11 “Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.”

Ephesians 2:14 “For He himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.”

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, You know my heart and mind. Please forgive me for harboring anger and ill will towards all of these human beings that you have blessed me with. You God, are the Prince of Peace. May you pour out your blessings upon these people. Help me have willingness to let go of the anger. Please help me embrace your peace; peace of mind, body, and soul. Thank you Lord. I claim your peace and forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Your Value In Your Home

Are you having a day where you feel like you have no value in your home? Like, what is the point!? Everyone is grumbling; kids, the spouse, the hamster…. You are trying to display the Fruit of the Spirit, but is anybody listening? Do they even notice or care? What am I doing this for?

God cares my friends. God sees your fruit and your efforts. He knows you are trying and your willingness to be His vessel in your home will be rewarded, if not on earth, but in our Heavenly home one day.

We may never know what seeds we have planted. We may never know if or how we have watered seeds that were already planted. But is it really for us to know?

If we are truly desiring to be God’s vessel, to be used by Him in every facet of our lives as a parent or spouse, who’s Glory is it? Ours or our Heavenly Father’s?

Our blessed role is to get up in the morning, get on our knees and ask our Lord God “How can I be your hands, feet and mouth today Lord? What can I do for you today? Please make me and mold me in to the person you would have me be today. I pray for all divine appointments. I pray that you help me be the just right parent to each child that I have an opportunity to minister and love today. I pray that I am the just right spouse to my significant other that you have blessed me with today. Thank you Lord, for an opportunity to be Jesus in the flesh to each person that I encounter today in my household, whether it be in person, on the phone, or through text. Help me make a difference for Your Kingdom today and may you receive all of the honor and glory for it. Thank you Lord, In Jesus’s name, Amen.

*Empty me of me God…Less of me, more of You Lord.

How often do you pray for each member of your household?

Our prayers are powerful! When we pray for our family, we ignite the Holy Spirit’s power to come in to our home and our lives.

Matthew 21:22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive it, if you have faith.
