Paul and Me

glorious-grace.010

Last week we learned from Paul. His life totally changed when he encountered with Jesus. He got a new life. He had new identity. His identity was Christ.

Learning from Paul last week was an eye-opening lesson to me, though I have read Acts 9 few times. I am blessed that I could read the my first language, second and fourth. That is great blessing to grasp God’s word and given understanding of what He had done in Paul’s life, chose him for specific purpose of His will, and to made His name known to the nations. God got all detail layout for him.

Jumping into week 2 of this Fall Challenge, I have been thinking a lot about the “WHY” God chose me since the beginning. That got to me really deep. Knowing that God has predestined me to be His child way before the foundation of the world, that changes my life totally. I feel secure. I have a guarantor, the Holy Spirit. I have Him, the God!

God gives me the security that I cannot find in the world. He is with me and my family as we walk with Him in our journey to go to the field as missionaries.

God is already there before us.

I am praying this week God will reveal more of Him to me and you as we come to seek Him and His word every morning.

My Goal In This Season

I have been learning a lot of wonderful things from joining HelloMornings challenge in the last 2 year.

I am still learning. It is not easy for me who was a night owl (still in transformation process) and try to wake up early in the morning before my early riser family members. The other struggle I have and still working on it is making plans. It is a process. It is a journey. It is a challenge for me. (Katie Orr has some tips for Night Owls here)

I don’t know how many times I almost gave up. But by God’s grace and encouragements I got from my friends and sisters in HelloMornings group on Twitter and Facebook, I am moving forward, I take tha challenge. I wanna be changed by God to be a productive person, be the wife God wants me to be for my husband and be the mom He calls me to be for our daughters.

It is all His Grace in Christ Jesus

Now, I mostly go to bed by 10 pm and wake up between 5:30 – 6 am, sometimes even 4:30 am! I have the most wonderful intimate time with my God, time to pray and extra time to get myself ready for my husband and daughters.

On Saturdays, mostly my hubby will let me sleep in and he keeps the door close and keeps the girls out of our bedroom so I can sleep or just lay down resting. I love my husband, how he support me and encourage me all the time!

Here’s a glimpse of my every day morning. Adjustment happens all the time. But by making this plan, I have a guide line of what to do every morning that helps me.

One more thing I would love to accomplish in this season is do more exercises. I have a sciatic nerve problem with my 2 pregnancy and it bothers me until now, especially when I pick up something heavy or do more movements. I am still looking for the best exercise that will help me with healing the sciatic nerve pain and get me healthy.

I hope that this season, God’s glorious grace will enough for all of us to reach our goals according to His own will.

“Here I am Lord, teach me your truth, renew my mind with your truth and transform me according to your will. Your power and the power of your Word gives me freedom and life. Thank You for all your grace. It is enough for me. Yes your grace is enough. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.”

Thank You for supporting me and my family in prayer!

I rewrite my older post into this post after thinking through what God has been teaching me through HelloMornigns. This post I link this post at HelloMornings blog.

The Helper When We Are Weak

He knows everything….

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. (Romans 8:26-30 NLT)
