For God's Glory
http://janene4godsglory.blogspot.com/2013/01/no-substitute-have-you-ever-been.html
Thursday, January 24, 2013. Have you ever been cooking or baking in the kitchen when all of the sudden you realize you're out of one ingredient. If you live in the country - like we do - immediately your mind goes to what else could be used as a substitute! Then what neighbor would have what I need? Perhaps you've been hanging a picture and can't find the hammer . . . there are substitutes for those, I know:). And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own . . .". To know for su...

For God's Glory: April 2012

Friday, April 27, 2012. So Used to the Dark. Early one morning my two youngest sons and I headed off to the eye doctor. They were anxious and excited – wondering if they would need glasses, and asking a million and one questions about what was going to happen. 8220;Whoaaa,” said my youngest, “I got so used to the dark . . . “ he trailed off, rubbing his eyes. He had gotten so used to the dark he couldn’t stand the light. Take it with You. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 10, 2012. During one of these c...

For God's Glory: August 2012

Tuesday, August 14, 2012. A Gift to Guard and Cherish. Celebrations come and go – and gifts come and go with them. We get another year older, the tie wears out, the t-shirt with “mom” on it gets a hole, the candle is now an empty jar. The tangibles given with love fade away – but the things that are known as intangible – these remain! These are gifts to “guard and cherish! 8212;that you fight with everything you have in you for this faith entrusted to us as a gift to guard and cherish.”. A faith to guard...

For God's Glory: June 2012

Wednesday, June 20, 2012. I Won't Be A Stranger. Memorial services are always such a mixture of emotions. When we know that our loved one or friend is with the Lord, we rejoice that they have made it “home,” but our own hearts grieve. The human heartache of missing them can only find it’s ultimate comfort in the Holy Spirit — God’s Comforter. So true. Everyone who goes on before us will be there to welcome us when it is our turn to come through the pearly gates. Oh, no! We won’t be a stranger. Living her...

For God's Glory: November 2012
http://janene4godsglory.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 9, 2012. How much do you want to serve God? Making HIM known has become a life-long passion of mine. Seeking Him the other day, I was praying that I could serve to the very end of my days. No matter what, that I would keep making HIM known. In an instant the Holy Spirit spoke in His beautiful way. He brought my mind to the phrase which churches and ministries have used as their motto: “Knowing Christ and making Him known.”. We cannot give away what we do not possess ourselves. 8220;I wan...

Monday, November 28, 2011. The Privilege of Proclaiming. Imagine a day with no mail service — “snail mail” or otherwise! No computers or cell phones — not even any old fashioned phones which boasted “party lines” for whomever wished to listen in. When we allow our minds to travel back through time to these circumstances, and then remember how easy it is to communicate today, literally around the world, it makes one “mentally dizzy! Chosen and privileged she carried God’s message to a waiting world&...

Tuesday, October 30, 2012. She came to my door, big smile in place. Her running for public office brought her to our home. She didn’t like the sign we had in our yard, and wanted to let us know that she was much more qualified for the position than her opponent. As we talked, the issues that are important to each of us surfaced. Did she believe in the killing of unborn babies? She dodged around the question best she could. This is a political issue? We need to wake up. Not “everything goes....There was a...

For God's Glory: Being Still . . . Even on the Curbside
http://janene4godsglory.blogspot.com/2012/07/being-still-even-on-curbside.html
Tuesday, July 3, 2012. Being Still . . . Even on the Curbside. My husband and I had a friend who had a very interesting way of declaring his “down days.” He would comment that he was “lower than a pregnant ant sitting on a curbside. . .”. Comment made you burst into laughter as you mentally pictured this scene . . . The problem is when you’re the one feeling like the ant! So, what are the secrets of getting through . . . victoriously? When the Israelites were bound in slavery, their cries weren’t. God...
