Where IS your heart????

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21

Wherever you spend most of your time, that is where your heart is. 
Sometimes we are not protecting our hearts and choose other paths and our hearts get hurt and broken.
It tells us in Matthew 6:25 that we cannot serve two masters. We can't give attention to this over here and put God on the back burner but expect Him to produce awesomeness in our life. We have to FULLY, COMPLETELY put our treasure IN HIM!

" Do not worry about your life....what you shall eat, what you shall drink." Matthew 6:25

The Griep version would be....Do not worry about your life, what you will eat, drink, how you look, who you will marry. We are sometimes so absorbed in what's that we forget about HIM and if we are all about what's then we are putting HIM on the back burner again.

Worry means divided in parts. It is a distraction, a preoccupation with things causing anxiety, stress, or pressure.

Jesus said that worrying is unneccessary, unfruitful, and unbecoming to a Christian
(Matthew 6:26-32) because of the watchful care of our Heavenly Father, who always know and takes care of our needs.

How do we keep from worrying? "BUT SEEK FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

Seek means to aim at or strive after. And His righteousness is His way of doing and being right.

Therefore...we shall not worry BUT seek (aim at and strive after) FIRST of all His Kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and THEN all these things taken together will be given unto you. (AMP version)

Strive after the things of God and He will show Himself so clear and perfect in your life!!!!

Football Games and the United States of America

I was at a football game recently and it was so exciting seeing all the fans dressed up in their favorite gear to cheer on their team.  Outside the stadium were tailgaters grilling up their best barbeque and playing games to pass the time away. After all, it was 5 hours till the gates opened. Funny how fast time flies when you keep yourself busy doing things that you love. Once the doors were open, fans would walk a ways to even make it to the stadium. But that's okay because everyone was excited and ready for the big game. It was enjoyable seeing some fans with some wild get-ups. They certainly go all out for the game! Fans were packing in the huge stadium, everyone was wearing the same colors, however, only a few that decided to try to pack in the same stadium, took their chances and put on their team colors and were there to support their "the other" team. It's very interesting listening to the people around you. They yell at the referee's most...

Let's play CATCH up!!!

It's been quite awhile since I've been on blog spot and posted.I'm not certain why it has taken so long. Life is just busy and it doesn't seem to let up any.  Since last year, SCIH has been holding its own, working on videos and posting on Facebook and Twitter. Soon to be adding to the TO DO list will be more praying and seeking God in direction. The only way to be going in the right direction is to be doing what God has said to do. AND I can honestly say, there is one thing that I need to be obedient in and I have failed to do that. I'm not certain why...maybe because of the "strange" thing that it is...? But God knows the outcome of situations and we just have to TRUST HIM...that is all He asks of us. TO TRUST and BE OBEDIENT! And so I do know that THIS certain thing needs to be done in order for anything else to happen. So, He's probably just waiting on me! ;) And I am waiting on...????? I don't know but I best get after it! So, this past ...

WARNING SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Have you noticed that Christian people are a little "shady" of how they feel and what they believe? Have you noticed how "Hollywood" has thrown "shady" scenes in movies, television shows, etc? It happens so much that we are start conforming to it and don't even think it's a big deal anymore. Everyone is doing it and we get so use to seeing it that we don't make a big fuss over it and almost giving our approval of it, because we continue to watch it.   I mean after all, we DO give time to watching our favorite television shows...and wouldn't miss them for the world!!! Let's dig a little deeper at some of our favorite shows. My husband and I like to watch "The Killing"! (And yes, I'm preaching to myself)! So, why in the world would I want to watch a killing show? The name in itself explains what it's all about. Someone dies and they have to solve the murder of who did it. Well, it's a little intense and dr...
