Sensitive Conscience

I've been thinking about the people who fight a sensitive conscience. 
  I don't believe living with a sensitive conscience is a life lived in victory.  
I do really actually believe that living with a sensitive conscience is indeed a fight. 

 There is a verse in Romans. 
 It says....    Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.   
There it is!  God makes us acceptable of His love  While we were YET sinners!   THAT  is when Christ died for us!

Not when we had all our past issues straightened out.
Not after we did everything right in every situation.  
Not when we said the right thing every time.
Not when we had the perfect attitude every time. 

And it certainly is not going to win any one salvation by making sure we followed all the rules to the letter.  The Pharisees tried that .   The weren't the most happiest or victorious people on the planet if you'll remember....


2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

.  There is a difference between godly sorrow and carnal sorrow.   And  being over sensitive with ones conscience does not bring about godly sorrow that leads to salvation. but rather the sorrow of the world that worketh death!    That's pretty awful really!   

I conclude that God's spirit working in you as you live in a life giving relationship with Him is Faithful.  HE will show you.  And God's spirit is life and joy and NOT fearful.  God has not given us the spirit of fear but of POWER and LOVE and a SOUND MIND!  That's a big chunk of mercy and grace to feed from for a while!     LIVE the moments God has given without fear and trust God that HE loves you and died for you While you were STILL sicky dirty wrong.  From there we don't look back....It's all forward!  READ your Bible and  starve out the sin nature by filling yourself full of what God has to say there.   .

(I personally haven't struggled with over sensitive conscience since I was about 12 years old.  I wish I could remember who or what helped me get out of that mud puddle.  But these are victorious verses that I have grown into . I'm still growing.  And Satan wants to win this battle so there is always battle going on.    I wish for those fighting this could find this joy too.)

Thank you for writing this. I remember being in that "mud puddle" too. I am so grateful for the love of God. He pulled me out and set my feet on a rock.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
