"Be zealous."-Revelation 3:19
    
    If you would see souls converted, if you would hear the cry that "the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord"; if you would place crowns upon the head of the Saviour, and His throne lifted high, then be filled with zeal. For, under God, the way of the world's conversion must be by the zeal of the church. Every grace shall do exploits, but this shall be first; prudence, knowledge, patience, and courage will follow in their places, but zeal must lead the van. It is not the extent of your knowledge, though that is useful; it is not the extent of your talent, though that is not to be despised; it is your zeal that shall do great exploits. This zeal is the fruit of the Holy Spirit: it draws its vital force from the continued operations of the Holy Ghost in the soul. If our inner life dwindles, if our heart beats slowly before God, we shall not know zeal; but if all be strong and vigorous within, then we cannot but feel a loving anxiety to see the kingdom of Christ come, and His will done on earth, even as it is in heaven. A deep sense of gratitude will nourish Christian zeal. Looking to the hole of the pit whence we were digged, we find abundant reason why we should spend and be spent for God. And zeal is also stimulated by the thought of the eternal future. It looks with tearful eyes down to the flames of hell, and it cannot slumber: it looks up with anxious gaze to the glories of heaven, and it cannot but bestir itself. It feels that time is short compared with the work to be done, and therefore it devotes all that it has to the cause of its Lord. And it is ever strengthened by the remembrance of Christ's example. He was clothed with zeal as with a cloak. How swift the chariot-wheels of duty went with Him! He knew no loitering by the way. Let us prove that we are His disciples by manifesting the same spirit of zeal.

New Chapter in Life's Story begins....


I'm sorry that I've been AWOL on here of late...The last two weeks have been kind of a whirlwind around here.  A new chapter is starting to open up in my life and we're trying to get a handle on it.  I will blog as I can, but for awhile until the schedule gets worked out it may be sparse between posts.

So what's the new chapter????..

Well glad you asked.  as you know my baby graduated this Spring and now we are opening up to a empty nest as she moves on guess that's the life of a mom...I've worked myself out of a job.  So this summer I've been trying to find my next direction.

For the past year and a half I've been heading in this directions trying to get everything in line.  Last week was a very busy week as I had four job interviews.  Today I had one of the jobs offered to me so....now this SAHM for the past 22 years is heading out to find her way in the work force.  I'm excited about the next chapter in my life's story...and I'll still be able to do what I've been doing the past 22+ years.  I'll be able to use my experience helping educate other people's children. 

I will post as I can and hopefully soon I'll be into a regular posting grove again.  Bear with me please and stop by often to see if I've posted something new.  subscribe to my blog in side bar and you won't miss a post.
