Embracing

Things of this world should not be held too tightly, they keep you from embracing God.

With all the news about Hurricane Sandy, the remembrances of all the other major storms to devastate our country and others and EVERYTHING lost to these storms....lives, homes, cars...stuff.  I have been thinking of the importance of who and what I "hold" dear. Everything in this world will be taken at some point. The Bible describes us and the things here like this "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades." (1 Peter 1:24) And although God made us to love one another; He made us to love Him first. "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.(Matthew 6:33)

This blog is called 'Everyday Wisdom' because I believe that there is something to be learned everyday about God, ourselves and each other. Since this is my first post, I wanted to share something about who God is making me to be. He continues to make me a woman who seeks His face above all else. You will get to know me more and I pray that we can discuss many issues openly and lovingly. I do indeed want to share faith (not just mine but I want to get to know yours as well), offer prayer (this is the only way I know to make a difference in my life and the life of those I love) and give hope ("Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him." Psalm 62:5).

Guidelines:

Ideas can be different but never worded harshly or without love and kindness - a desire for open dialogue and never to shut out.

Share ways I (and anyone who follows this blog) can pray for you and your needs - this experience will be awesome to see how God moves and fulfills His people.
