There are many ways to build a house

...but one way to build the house of God- His way ( and very precise, I might add) (Ezekiel 40-42)

This week has gone by so quickly! I was amused to see that we had not posted anything since last Friday, October 23rd. It was also a good sign to me that there was more than just eating going on but some digesting.

Speaking of digestion- I found that I have to take Ezekiel in small bites, as it is very dense. It's hard to keep myself from reading more into it than is there sometimes, as I am wanting to be enlightened from the daily bible reading. Sometimes God just wants to talk to us, and for us to listen.

My husband and I can connect over a simple "what's for dinner " convo, as well as a deep "how do we budget this?" convo. Either way, we still communicate. In God's word, likewise, sometimes God just wants to talk, and we learn about him this way. Sometimes God needs to instruct, sometimes God needs to warn. But as the word of God states, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable..." (2 Timothy 3:16)

Now for a recap of some the past week's readings...(we wanna know what you thought as you read, as well)

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

Mission: Water4Christmas

Hi all! It's Missions Monday!! I get so excited! Truly! While on Beautiful Mess-Psalm 40 's blog, I was touched so deeply by her post on Water For Christmas! It's definitely a cause to support! We have all kinds of gadgets, movies, CDs, and gift cards that are all just distractions waiting to be bought and given this Christmas holiday. But there are over a billion of people all over the world who don't have access to clean water! Ridiculous! We're dying and killing ourselves over debt but our brothers & sisters are dying because of lack of clean water. Water has so many more  uses besides just drinking! Charity:water  says that the average American uses 150 gallons of water a day while the average person in a developing country struggles to find 5 gallons! This is what charity:water says to the question "Why water?" U nsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of...
