Dear Son, Day 1
It is hard to believe how fast the first 19 years of your life has gone by. Today you start your first official day of basic training at Fort Benning, GA.
If I told you that your mom and I haven’t shed some tears I would be lying to you, but those tears are the results of how proud we are of you.
So many people have asked why you are choosing to join the army? After graduating high school you landed a great paying job with benefits and started college to get your degree in counseling. After completing your associates degree in counseling and starting on your  Bachelors degree, you came and spoke to your mom and I about the desire to serve your country.
Of course our initial thought was concerning, as most parents hate to face the thought of their child going away; but at the same time, we couldn’t begin to describe the overwhelming pride we had in you wanting to serve our country. 
So after much prayer and conversation you moved forward and after months of preparation you made it to the big day: the start of something new and the beginning of a momentous change in your life.
Like so many ten’s of thousands of soldiers who put on the uniform for our country before you, I know you will serve selflessly and with the courage to make a difference for our nation.
Remember in the Bible the apostle Paul admonished the importance to “fight the good fight of faith” and I would encourage you too, with every ounce that is within you, fight the good fight. Stay focused on the Lord and lean on Him for strength.
Thank you for your service to our country and know that you are being preyed for daily. You have made your Mom and Dad and all the rest of our family so proud.
Proberbs 3:5-6
Love ya
Dad

💜 Daily Quote ✝️
Reflection
At times it’s tempting to want to be in control of circumstances or to get even with the person who’s wronged me or to treat someone like they treat me. But God says to turn my foot away from evil (Proverbs 4:27 ESV). He also says that He has a plan for me, plans for welfare and not for evil (Jeremiah 29:11 ESV). When I read today’s quote and these bible verses, it makes me think about how Jesus did not hate, nor got even with those who had wronged Him and did not treated them the same as they did to Him. And it was horrible! So instead of giving in to these negative feelings, to what the devil wants me to do. I will try to the best of my ability to submit myself to God and to resist the devil so that he may flee from me (James 4:7 ESV). In 1 Corinthians 10:13 (ESV) it says, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” I may not understand His plan, but I do trust and believe that things happen for the greater good (Romans 8:28 ESV). Even if things don’t go as plan, or if all hell is breaking loose. God says to trust in Him with all my heart, and to not lean on my own understanding (Proberbs 3:5). In the name of Jesus Christ, may I be reminded of His Word and to not take matters into my own hands because He has plans for me, plans to give me a future and hope (Jeremiah 29:11 ESV). I will cast all my anxieties on Him because He cares for me (1 Peter 5:7 ESV). God, I ask that all my bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from me, along with all malice (Ephesians 4:31 ESV). Help me be more like You. Loving, joyful, at peace, patience, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23 ESV). Help me to be kind with one another, tenderhearted, and forgiving one another, as You forgave us (Ephesians 4:32 ESV). For You are my rock and my fortress; and for Your name's sake You lead me and Guide me (Psalms 31:3 ESV). I shall hear Your word behind me, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever I turn to the right or when I turn to the left (Isaiah 30:21 ESV). Amen 🙏🏼 All praise to God!

3 Things God Will Not Do in Your Marriage - Brie Gowen
3 Things God Will Not Do in Your Marriage
April 17, 2016 by [email protected]
I think most people who live on this earth as Christians desire to conduct their marriages according to the principles set forth by God, and I think that’s great. The Bible is full of instructions and guidelines to help point you in the right direction for a happy, Holy union. The question is, though, do we always get it right?
Absolutely not. As fallible humans we will fall short, and God gets that. The goal for wives is to strive to be a Proberbs 31 woman, or for husbands to treat your wife as Christ treats the church. We all need practice, and that’s fine. But there are some instances that just absolutely go against scripture. These things we must not do if we really want a marriage that honors the Lord.
It’s easy when you fall to call it God’s will, or to imagine God’s hand at work in your life when you crumple under sin. There are some things, no matter how much God loves you and directs your life, that you cannot do in His name.
Although the Lord has power over your life He will not do these things in your marriage.
1. God will not lead you to adultery. So say you’re unhappy in your marriage. Then suddenly you meet this nice fella (or lady) at work. He’s a wonderful Christian, a great listener, and really seems to care about your feelings. Unlike your husband.
You start eating lunch together, spending time pouring out your heart on break, and the next thing you know you’re having romantic feelings. This person is so right for you! It must be God! God has placed this perfect person in your path!
No. No, no, no.
If you are married God will not place an opportunity if front of you to tarnish the union you have sworn to in His name. When He says what I have put together, let no man separate; He means just that.
2. God will not lead you away from your spouse. Perhaps you and your spouse have ended up on two different planes. Maybe you started the marriage on the same page, but now you are different. It’s possible you have deepened your relationship with the Lord, and your spouse has not. In that clash of differing spiritual/relational levels there is strife in your marriage.
God does not lead you to divorce, and while it is important to be equally yoked, the Lord does not favor the severing of marriage. One flesh isn’t something to take lightly, so when differences and difficulties arise divorce is not the right answer.
I will never claim to be perfect, nor will I hide my past. I have suffered the scars and shame of divorce. I was not following close to Jesus at that time, and when my ex-husband told me he didn’t want to be married anymore I accepted that with little fight. God came and helped me through the aftermath of my broken marriage, but He didn’t lead me to divorce.
I am so happy with my current husband. Happier than I have ever been. I can’t imagine a life apart from him, but I don’t think it was God’s will for me to get divorced. For that matter, though, I don’t think it was His will for that first marriage to happen. Hindsight is 20/20. But I digress.
The point is, God doesn’t condone divorce. Can He forgive someone who has suffered through divorce? I believe so. I believe God forgives all His children who come in honest repentance and turn from their sinful ways. Can He heal someone after divorce? Absolutely! I’m living proof.
But does God lead you away from your spouse? No. Never. That’s not God. I’m sorry.
3. God will not change your spouse for you. This is a hard concept to accept. It’s always what we cling to when marriage gets hard. When our spouse is difficult and calling it quits is on the forefront of our minds we hold tight to the old adage that God can change their heart for us. And He can. But He won’t.
Let me clarify.
God will not change your spouse for you. But He will change your spouse for His glory. What I mean is this. Many, many times when we are at odds with our spouse we pray in a certain way.
We pray, “God, make my husband be more attentive to me.”
Or, “God, make my husband be a better provider.”
“Notice me more.”
“Compliment me.”
“Get a better job.”
Maybe even, “get off his lazy butt.”
What do all these pleas have in common? Me, me, me.
Listen, God loves you. God wants you to have a happy marriage, and to have a spouse who treats you like you deserve to be treated. In fact, He commands such treatment in His word. But God wants you to treat your spouse as they deserve also, and that starts with desiring the best for them.
You must desire change for your spouse not simply for yourself, but for their benefit. You should desire that your spouse grow closer with the Lord not so that your life will be easier, but so that their life will prove more abundant. Your job is to desire God’s best for your spouse, not desire how God can make the relationship best for you.
By all means, pray for your marriage. Pray without ceasing. Just understand that while God does want to please you and answer your prayers, that He wants most for your heart to be right. He honors selfless prayer. He honors marriage. He honors growing His relationship with you and your spouse collectively while also strengthening the bonds of marriage.
So in essence God can change hearts, and He can turn your spouse’s heart towards Him, and in that change them. But He’s not simply changing them for you. Understand that.
The good news is that while God may not do these three things in your marriage, there’s plenty of great things that He can do! When hope seems lost, Christ can. When your marriage seems to be failing, God can heal it. Keep your eyes on Him, trust in His promises, and align your personal walk to one that honors both Him and your marriage.

How do you show L O V E to your other half??? . . . This coming August, my husband and I will be married for two years. Yes I know it’s still a short while and it hardly makes us marriage experts but the amount of lessons we’ve learned up until now have been extremely difficult at times but definitely moments and lessons I will cherish for the rest of our lives!!! Ten must do’s that I feel is a good guideline on how to L O V E your spouse. This is a few things that I haven’t at all perfected and definitely need to work on on a daily basis - but something that I always try and live by and is a must share!!! • listen without interrupting [proverbs 18] • speak without accusing [james 1:19] • give without sparing [proverbs 21:26] • pray without ceasing [colossians 1:9] • answer without arguing [proberbs 17:1] • share without pretending [ephesians 4:15] • enjoy without complaint [philippians 4:15] • trust without wavering [corinthians 13:7] • forgive without punishing [colossians 3:13] • promise without forgetting [proverbs 13:12] Above all else, remember, if you don’t know what to do...P R A Y, if you are going through a tough or happy season...P R A Y. . . . @bernicedegraaff @quinthowe ... #wedding #weddingsof2020 #brideandgroom #oakfieldfarmwedding #oakfieldfarmweddingvenue #sunsetshots #veilshots #beautifulcouple #love #celebratinglove #weddingtips #weddingadvice #enjoyingthemoment #weddingdress #bambapictures #bambaweddings #troudag #troufotograaf #virdieliefde #mooistemense #trouinspirasie #komonsdoenditweer #marriageisbeautiful (at Oakfield Farm - Wedding & Function Venue) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-teVkBE0b/?igshid=qbeqk5qw3k31

New Season - New Notes
April 2nd, 2017 [email protected]
2nd CHronicles 7:14 - If my people repent, humble themselves and pray.... 
REPENT = Verb
to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret orbe conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc. (oftenfollowed by of):
to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one'slife for the better; be penitent.
to remember or regard with self-reproach or contrition:to repent one's injustice to another.
HUMBLE = Adjective
not proud or arrogant; modest: 
courteously respectful: 
PRAY=
to enter into spiritual communion with God or an object of worship through prayer
to make petition or entreaty for; crave: 
We offer up humilityand in humility we accept that we are wrong and have the RIGHT & need to be chastened of The LORD. Not humans  - but the Spirit of God.
Isaiah 53:--- Jesus was to be punished on our behalf (for our sins)
Jesus was NEVER just like any other man! 
 When the King returns we will have ALL things settled!
BUt we are not helpless NOW. WE have the power not satan. 
Cancer = rebellious cells in the body.- The moment we first sin, the chastening begins. 
1st John 1:3 = We are either walking in light or walking in darkness(also why I feel led to put my church notes up on Tumblr of all places)
Hebrews 12:3 - 7 =  We still sin because we do not STRIVE not to.
We should appreciate His correction that keeps us from suffering as He did for us. 
2 Tim 3:12-16 = God uses scripture to correct us - But we have got to be willing to:
acccept the correction
learn & study how God wants us to do (the RIGHT way)
Actually take action to correct the problem
Proberbs 17:10 = If you do not correct your children, you do not really love them- All parents want their children to be better then themselves - Father God is no different.

Make it Today
Proverbs 29:1. “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”
Tumblr media
Romans 6:23 tells us that the wages of sin is death, but that God’s gift to us, through Jesus Christ, is eternal life in heaven with Him.
If we refuse to acknowledge the sinful nature with which we all are born, turning our backs on the sacrifice Jesus made when He accepted…

Inspiration for today
TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT IN YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE [SUBMIT TO] HIM AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATHS. – Proverbs 3: 5,6
The above Scripture is very encouraging and has helped in my life over the years. One of my daughters chose this as her verse for her baptism. Really think about the depth of those words; they’ll be coming up again on Tuesday.
