Verse of the Day!

"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."  Philippians 4:6

As you may be able to tell one of my favorite books in the Bible is Philippians.  I get so much encouragement from it.  To me this verse changed my prayer life when I dissected and defined it.  When we pray we must remember that while God wants us to pray for others needs as well as our own we must THANK Him for what He has already given to us.  Whenever I pray I try to follow this process so that I know I am being an effective prayer. 

P-Praise God for all the blessing He has already given to you
R-Repent for any sins that you have committed
A-Ask the Lord to answer your prayer requests(now you mention them)
Y-Yield your life and will to the Lord as well as the outcome of the prayer requests. 

I hope that this helps you in someway today.  May God bless you greatly!!

Till Next Time~

Verse of the day

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;  if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things. Philippians 4:8

The Lord has really been bringing this verse to my mind several times a day.  I remember this verse whether it is stuggles with homeschooling or financial trials or just a heavy heart over the condition of this world.  I remember to think of the things of God and not focus on the negative. 

It is always important to know and to stand by the truth that is found in God's Word.  Please follow me as I start posting a verse that God puts on my heart on a daily and sometimes even multiple times a day basis.  I am not a Bible scholar nor do I have any Bible training at all except for what I have read in the Bible for myself.  These are just thoughts from my heart and I have prayed over what to say and not to say here.  May God Bless you today and everyday. 

Till Next Time~

Review of Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal

Recently in the mail from Vocalpoint I received a sample of Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal and let me tell you what it is awesome.  I am trying to eat healthy and with only 1.5 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber per serving this cereal fits the bill.  When I first tasted it I was brought back to my childhood of eating Capt'n Crunch...but healthier.  I can also see myself putting this cereal on top of vanilla ice cream but that might affect the healthiness of the snack lol.  I would highly recommend this cereal to anyone and I have some coupons that I am willing to send to a few of my readers.  Please comment on my blog and also email me at lynchteam@gmail.com.  In the subject line of the email please put Kashi Coupon.  I have 3 coupons to send so the first 3 to respond will receive them.  They are for $1.50 off a box of Honey Sunshine cereal.  Thanks and happy snacking!!

Till Next Time~

Sorry for my absence

I apologize for my blogging absence but I felt like I needed to take a break for a while and regroup. I am ready to start blogging again and will post something this evening. I am focusing a lot on being a housewife and also being frugal. We have actually planted our very first garden this year and I pray that something will grow. Well will write more later.
Until Next Time~ God Bless!!

Being Washed

I totally love it when God uses an example in my life to make me fully understand the point He is trying to make. Last night I told my 12 yr old to go take a shower. So after much stalling off she goes but once in the shower I hear her normal singing and dancing. When she is done she comes out and stands next to me. Well as I was making sure she got her hair dry enough I noticed that it did not smell clean and asked jokingly if she used soap to wash her hair and she said yes...then I put her arm up to my nose and smelled and again no soapy smell. I once again asked if she used soap in the shower which she then admitted no she did not. So I told her that she needed to go back in there and take another shower this time using soap, which she did in record time since she had used all the hot water in her first shower. While I was thinking about how she thought she had been "clean" but really wasn't the Lord showed me that we must continually wash our selves in God's Word. We can not just read enough so that we "look clean" but must get into God's Word to keep our hearts and mind clean and pure. In God's Word is a fountain of blessing that we can only access if we read and apply it to our lives.

Till Next Time~God Bless!

Taming our Tongue

Tomorrow will be my 29th birthday. Only one more year until the big 3-0. I know age is nothing but a number but I think about how quickly these years have gone by and what I have done for the Lord during those years. I can see now more than ever that God is doing a mighty work in not only my life but the lives of my family members as well. I praise God for the salvation of my family! I long to leave a Godly legacy for my daughter. This week at revival has really been well quite frankly painful. The Lord has shown me just how prideful I am. If you have not read the book entitled "Brokenness" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss then I highly recommend it. Man just this morning I was reading it and realizing just how wrong I was in a lot of areas of my spiritual walk. I want the Lord to get all the honor and glory for everything I saw and do and I am realizing that in fact while I say those words sometimes I am not showing that. I get upset if someone doesn't say "Good Job" or even bragging about what I made for the potluck dinner at church. That is pride! When we have pride in us that comes out in everything we do from our actions to our speech. Last night at revival the evangelist preached a wonderful message on the tongue and how it reveals what is really in our hearts. If we have a pure heart then we will have pure speech...but if we have a defiled heart then we will have a crooked, cutting, complaining and condemning tongue. When others hear us talk can they tell by our speech that we are Christians? Imagine on a Sunday after your church service and dressed in your Sunday best you go out to eat lunch with your family and well, the service is slow and then they didn't cook your steak the right way and you are sitting there complaining and cutting down the server with sharp and hurtful words. You didn't know that there was a young lady sitting at the booth behind you considering going to church to find out why Christians are so different from the world. But then she sees you sitting there in your Sunday best and hears the words coming out of your mouth. While they may not be cuss words they are mean words none the less. This turns her off from church because she thinks why should she become a Christian..I act like that person already and she never sets foot inside a church all because your steak wasn't well done. Let us remember to think before we speak and cry out to God to remove pride from our lives and to create in us a pure heart!

Till Next Time~God Bless!
