When we consider God's plan and purpose for our family, I often have to remind myself: Is this my wish list or is it God's?

If we are struggling to keep up with the ...you name it ...anybody, we are struggling in vain.

As long as we are in this flesh, we keep having all these weaknesses. I almost feel like, I am in war with my flesh. It becomes a constant struggle between my spirit and my flesh... I am so thankful to Paul who wrote in Romans that we should walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. But how do we do it ? I am still learning . I am finding that through prayer without ceasing, devotions

and meditating in His word the Lord helps all of us to walk in the spirit. I guess it is a constant awareness that we are really spirits and these bodies are just a mere evidence of ourselves on this earth. And thereby letting our spirit win this war, is really the victory and, its O.K if our flesh looses eventhough it does not feel very good , because its just a temporary feeling..

Speak, Lord I am your servant

and I am listening .

1 samuel 3 :10

The Christ- centered Family

"A loving family is a treasure from God. If God has blessed you with a close knit, supportive clan, offer a word of thanks to your Creator.He has given you one of His most precious earthly possessions. Your obligation , in response to God's gift, is to treat your family in ways that are consistent with His commandments."

"Even when the demands of everyday life are great, you must never forget that, as a mother, you are entrusted with a profound responsibility : nurturing the spiritual growth of your family."

"When you place God squarely in the center of your family's life -when you worship Him, praise Him, trust Him, and love Him-then He will most certainly bless you and yours in ways you could have scarcely imagined." Excerpt from " Purpose for Everyday Living for Mothers"

"Unless the Lord build the house,

they labor in vain who build it;...."
