Bucket O’ Bulletz

But it needs new batteries. I was always in the general area of the bible, but I never put it together in my head that the thing could have been inside my knitting case. Lo and behold, I go digging for knitting notions and find amongst the yarn my long lost electronic bible! YAY!! Thank the Lord! I really thought I was going to have to tell my sister in law that I lost her 100$ present. The last time I used it, it was while I was knitting (last winter), so I thought it was with my other notions. I mean, I only have like 3 places I put them. So glad that in digging a bit deeper into my knitting things I found it. I prayed more than once that I would..it was more of a constant prayer that it would be recovered. Thank you Jesus!

Yeah I have nothing clever to put into the title today. It’s library this morning and church tonight. I don’t know if the Man will go to his class tonight or not. He probably will, since he is off work. I was wondering if he would want to take his son, too. I kind of hope not. He would miss church and it’s a mighty long evening for him *and me* if we all go tonight. Besides, I think 3 days a week is PLENTY for my son to be in jiu jitsu and have to pay attention. I like to break it up with other things like church and the library.

Unfortunately, he is graduating out of the library class this summer since he is 5 now. The next thing I will be looking into is the summer day camp program at our church. I think it’s free but they collect offering every day they are there. So I will have to figure out how much I can give since they are going to be taking care of my son during half the day and reinforcing what I am teaching him about God at home. That alone is priceless, to me.

Thank God for abundance! This past week we were blessed to have money left over from our check even after spending money on things we needed…like renewing our car insurance. We have been struggling so much with finances of late, it was good to get out and do whatever we wanted without worrying about the bank account. We ended up with plenty of money left over till the next paycheck. Thank the Lord. I was getting so tired of just getting by. I think that 2008 is our year for abundance!

Frankly, the one person who has changed my life beyond all that I could ever think was Jesus. Yes, it sounds cliché but it’s the truth.

I used to be a bisexual weed-smoking alcoholic drug dealing prostitute. I was abused sexually, emotionally, and physically long before all those labels were placed on my head.

Now I am none of those things.

I am a minister to the youth. I minister in song and word. I give my testimony to those who request it. I write music for the glory of God. I have founded a group for those who would like to change or have changed *much like Exodus International, but nicer*. I no longer crave alcohol and marijuana. I have not sold drugs or my body in over five years. I gave my heart back to God on July 24, 2001. I met my future husband the next day. I got married October 28, 2001.

My husband has his own testimony about what he went through before he found God. He has his own story to tell. He was a gang leader, marijuana smoker, and had an anger problem like you wouldn’t believe. He is none of those things now. He is a minister as well. He gave his heart to God about a year before I did.

That’s why when I say that Jesus has changed my life, He has. No other name that I have ever called on has done what the name of Jesus did in my life. My own mother even said “If God can change you, He can do anything”.

I wrote about Jesus in my other blog…a revelation about when the end came and this passage in the bible:

Luke 23:33-34
33And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
34Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

It’s a bit lengthy but worth a browse if you have the time.
I have also updated my new blog with a thought about a friend of mine.

and who were his mother and father?
I know that his mother was just like any mother who worried and wondered after her son. I also know that if she could lose her son for 3 days and my son was gone for less than 10 minutes, that we aren’t that different. Mothers across the board have lost track of their children for eons.
I know that his father was one who could handle not being the baby’s daddy. He was strong and sensible after being shown by an act of God that the woman was right and he was wrong…typical male.
There were children after Jesus, but his parents seemed to focus on him most. He was the oldest and had the most responsibility, God’s son or not.
Jesus was smart, precocious, energetic, and free. He didn’t live his life to conform to the norm, even as a boy. I can imagine him as a boy. He could have played tricks on his family…you know harmless ones like bringing in the water and his mom goes to wash in it and it’s actually wine. Maybe commanding trees to wither and replenish for fun as a teen.
Why is it so hard to see him as a real, living be
ing with thoughts and feelings? How come we act as if he didn’t use the outhouse just like everyone else?
He was a rebel, a leader with a cause. He taught in the synagogue at the age of 12. A prodigy. He was strong and had sinewy muscles with dark skin. A master carpenter. He loved hard, he fought hard. Probably had a crush on a girl or two. He was human. He experienced our life so he would know what he was dying to protect. At the end he was scared and begged for God to take his purpose from him. He didn’t really want to have to go through it, but he accepted his destiny if his Father God willed it to be so…
Just like us. We fret over our lives and what we are called to do, and then turn around and say “well Jesus didnt whimper up on that cross”. WHATEVER!!! He whimpered in the garden when he was praying. He prayed so hard he was sweating blood! Have you ever prayed that hard? I haven’t.
Jesus didn’t even get to do his ultimate works until he was 30 and he only had 3 years to do it in! We complain if we don’t know our purpose by the time we hit 18. We get angry if things don’t work in our favor so we can be where we want to be and announce *I have arrived!*
Jesus didn’t get to say anything about arriving til he was DEAD!!! That’s when he could say:
IT IS FINISHED.
So what would Jesus do?
If you really know him, then you can probably answer that question. Make sure you really know him before you make that judgment.
