A month of mindfulness

-
I don't want to forget that I only have a certain number of years on earth, so I'm learning how to concentrate on the things that really matter to God for my life. I look at the big picture, but I tend to rush through my daily life...consequently I miss the little things that matter.

I'm practiced mindfulness by stopping to take a photo of things that caught my eye or brought memories during March. It was fun, but hard. I added a couple of photos to make up for days when I forget to be mindful... It's a journey and I'm loving every moment of it!

My Divine Devotions: The test really is simple

-
December 20, 2010 Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. What would it look like if we humbled ourselves before God and asked him to look deep into our heart? What does your family heart look like? How does the heart you show to your spouse, kids and family look? How’s your heart when it comes to your coworkers, neighbors and the maid who sweeps the floors where you work or study? The only test that counts is the one conducted by God. On a scale of one to 10, where do your thoughts rank? And, are you using God’s criteria or your own? The test really is simple: Love God with all your heart and love others as yourself. God’s grading system is simple: Either we pass or fail. Look deep into my heart, God, and find out everything I am thinking.

Following Jesus is for sinners, unbelievers and those who aren't perfect. – Matthew 9:13

Matthew 9:13   Go and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ (Hosea 6:6)   I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.” Good sermons have a way of piercing hearts.  Andy Stanley’s   Follow, Pt.1 Jesus Says   sermon made me examine my heart in a big way. I suggest that you listen to the podcast because the message is good for nonbelievers, but especially amazing for those of us who love the Lord. Andy’s key points: ü Being a sinner is a prerequisite.  The o nly people who resist Jesus are those who "think" they are fine. Be careful! There’s no sin, addiction, illness or sin situation that puts you outside the Lord’s circle. ü Being an unbeliever doesn't disqualify you.  None of the Lord’s followers believed for several years. He chastised them several times. ü Following Jesus is purely an invitation to relationship. Rules don’t make a relationship.   God’s kin

Why I write this blog

-
Family and friends, My entire reason for maintaining this Journey blog is to inspire you to seek God (Matthew 28:19-20) and to read the Scriptures for yourself so that your soul might live on in eternity in His glorious presence (Revelation 21:11).  I've experienced His powerful presence here, right now on earth. This is why I'm passionate! But I'm overwhelmed just thinking of His future fully-revealed glory!  I can't wait! Love, Blanca
