WOYWW: Silence the Wolves!

Here's my desk early in the morning.

 My little journal is on top of a

handout from a Parent's Seminar

my husband and I attended.

It was about Digital Parenting.

There was a LOT discussed

and I was so glad my son was 19 already

and didn't need too much supervision!!!

When he was young, we had a lot of rules

about watching TV and the use of the computer.

I bought some of these at a garage sale

last weekend and started making brooches out of it.

And here are the ATCs I got 

from the Anniversary WOYWW swap.

Thank you Annie, Regina,

Queen Eliza of artoypia, and Twiglet

for my marvelous cards!!!

I love them!

I hope you liked mine!

 "Beware of false prophets,

who come to you in sheep's clothing."

Matthew 7:15

I can't say it any better than

The Word Among Us:

"As often as not, we are the 

first ones to lead ourselves astray.

We know that if we listen to the 

wolfish thoughts that go through our mind,

they will lead to bad fruit-

selfishness, sadness, isolation and sin.

It's tough to look inside ourselves,

but Jesus wants us to examine our thoughts.

 Not because He wants to show us 

how bad we are, because we 're not.

It's because He wants us to be free 

to hear and live by the Holy Spirit.

Only by quieting our racing minds

will we be able to hear His words of affirmation,

conviction and direction."

"Only by silencing the wolves

can we hear the Lamb!"

(Word Among Us)

Yesterday  we celebrated the 

birth of St. John the Baptist.
I think he is one of the most awesome characters
in the New Testament and there are a LOT of 
great personalities we meet in those pages.

He is unique because from when he was a
baby in his mother, Elizabeth's womb,
he already had a distinct identity.
He knew, recognized the One he would serve.
He knew his mission! 

He knew he was called for a purpose!

In the womb, he "leaped for joy" 

(Luke 1:41-44)
when he heard the voice of Mary.
When he was older, he preached 

repentance without fear,
with no political correctness whatsoever!
He didn't water down his message,
and for that he got beheaded (Matthew 14:10).

How about us? Are we as clear about our purpose?
Do we know that we are called and placed here on earth,
in our city, in our neighborhood, school, office,
our family, community, because God wants us to do
something for Him?
We are all created unique, one of a kind, with gifts
and talents different from anyone else'.

"And who knows but that you have come to your position
for such a time as this?" Esther 4:14
