2 QUOTES I JUST READ ON FB
John Piper: "You don't need to know a lot of things. You do need to know a few great things and live for them with all your might." - Ligonier National Conference
Spurgeon: "If sinners be damned, at least them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for."

CHANGE: My Thoughts For Today...
Change is one of those things that can be looked at in either a positive note, or a negative. When my heart was regenerated, that was the BEST change ever. The day I said "I do" to my wonderful husband that God had chosen for me was an AMAZING change. The day I looked each of my children in the face for the first time was also a BEAUTIFUL and very EXTREME change in my life! :) The day I went from being a mom of little preschoolers to a commitment of more purposeful homeschooling was a change, though that change came more subtly.
Sanctification is change. A wonderful change, that I praise God for daily, and beg Him to continue that change in me.
Hard times cause a person to change. When I lost Josiah, that was a big turning point in my life. I changed forever, but I praise God that He has used that for His glory.
Moving to Montana caused me to change. I went from one culture to a very different culture in rural Montana. I have changed to living happily in a new culture after a couple years of difficult transition, but in that process, I am not the same person that I use to be.
God is always in the process of change. My desire is to change every day to become closer to the image of Jesus Christ.
I have changed the most in the past 8 1/2 years. In that season, our days have mostly been spent away from our family and long-distance friends. Sometimes, I feel like they hardly know me anymore.... I am not who I once was.
"I now ask you, my dear reader, a few questions in all love, because I do seek your welfare, and I do not wish to put these questions to you, without putting them first to my own heart. Do you make it your primary business, your first great concern, to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Are the things of God, the honour of His name, the welfare of His Church, the conversion of sinners, and the profit of your own soul, your chief aim? Or, does your business, or your family, or your own temporal concerns, in some shape or other primarily occupy your attention?...." (George Muller)
So you can know my heart, no matter how long it has been since we have seen or chatted with each other, this what I am striving for...I still have a long ways to go. Praise God I don't have to do it on my own! My prayer is that you are striving for this change in your life as well.
