HIPMAMA

know in my head what to do. i know in my heart what to do.

and so i do it.

i fall to my knees and plead.

and He answers.

Phil. 4:6-7

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

James 1:2-12

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

Jeremiah 33:3

3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

these are the verses He gave to me. i share them with fed. we pray together, we pray separately, we pray as a family.

God is moving and growing fed and i and our family thru this time.

many of you know what is happening but for those that do not my husbands mother is dying. rapidly.

but we have JOY and PEACE in the midst of it.

so we sing glory hallelujah and praise Him for what He can do what ever the circumstances!

When He Returns

The iron hand it ain’t no match for the iron rod,
The strongest wall will crumble and fall to a mighty God.
For all those who have eyes and all those who have ears
It is only He who can reduce me to tears.
Don’t you cry and don’t you die and don’t you burn
For like a thief in the night, He’ll replace wrong with right
When He returns.

Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through,
He unleashed His power at an unknown hour that no one knew.
How long can I listen to the lies of prejudice?
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
Can I cast it aside, all this loyalty and this pride?
Will I ever learn that there’ll be no peace, that the war won’t cease
Until He returns?

Surrender your crown on this blood-stained ground, take off your mask,
He sees your deeds, He knows your needs even before you ask.
How long can you falsify and deny what is real?
How long can you hate yourself for the weakness you conceal?
Of every earthly plan that be known to man, He is unconcerned,
He’s got plans of His own to set up His throne
When He returns.

i have always been an activist. i will stand up for those who cannot fight.

and it ALL starts in the womb. if you do not feel safe there, once you are out how can you ever be safe. child slavery, sexual trading, all of this goes back to our contempt for those in the womb.  when a person can be killed even unto birth, how can a society say it is heart broken over the homeless or the child slave trade in the sudan?

but AS FOR ME, i refuse to be quieted. i was not as a child, i was not as a teen or a young adult and now I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!!

when you abort, you KILL a baby. period.

i mean come on, everyone knows it.

can we as a nation stop using it as birth control, as a cash crop????

any of you born after 1973 had better be proud to be alive, your mother CHOOSE to save you.

financial markets, economy, the presidential race…………………………i listen to NPR for news and such. it is of course biased in its reporting but they do try to show all sides of the issues.

as for the economy and such, i do not buy into alot of what the media is saying. i do know what i see though. i see many homes in our area up for sale and no buyers. i see small businesses going under all over town.

of course all of this can be seen as a normal flux of the housing market or a normal turn of business when big box stores come in and squeeze out the little guy. all that happens all the time all over america.

i for one do not have any dooms day attitude towards money.

i know where my strength and security comes from. 

onto the election.

for me, neither candidate  is an any way my ideal, as it usually turns out.

i do not like one for many reason and i do not like the other for a few reasons. 

so as ALWAYS. it is vote for the lesser of two evils. ugh.

the people calling obama some kind of messiah are stupid. how can he be? i do believe he will win and i do believe he will show us really how he is. and it will not be what everyone thought or wanted. i just see people expecting so very much from ONLY a man and after all he can only do so much.

the government is not run just by one man. even though when stuff goes wrong we all want to blame one man(case in point, president bush). government is run by many many people. i always am amazed when people blame one person for a whole slew of peoples mistakes and mismanagement.

so anyways, my hopes for our country are never dashed. i know who will win in the end but i also know the dark days thru which we must live before we get there.

i just pray my sons know for whom they serve when we live thru it.
