Faith In Plain Sight

Finding a measure of faith in the everyday.



Five Minute Friday — Fill

By 5 Comments

Five minute Friday is a writing flash mob that happens every week when writers are prompted by a single word to write for 5 minutes without any major editing.  Just raw thoughts and emotions.  You can find out more and/or join the party here.

 

I have exactly two thoughts when this word comes to mind.

  1. I want to be filled with God till there is nothing left in me but Him.  So that when people look at me they see Him.
  2. I want to go out and fill the world with Him.  How can we not share Him with the world when He has done so much for us?  Imagine the impact if every believer you know told one person and then they turned around and taught one person, and so on and so forth.

Imagine how the world would change if we all shared what we have been given.  If we filled the world with disciples of the one true God.  Maybe the world wouldn’t be such a lonely and scary place anymore.

I leave you with this video because the second I saw the prompt word it popped into my head and wouldn’t leave.  🙂

Godspeed,

Five Minute Friday — Finish

By 2 Comments

Five Minute Friday

Finish.

To complete.

To stop doing something.

Some days I long to finish something, anything. There is always one more load of laundry. ( I swear it multiplies in the pile.) One more dish to wash. One more dinner to cook. One more mess to clean up. Truth is we are never finished.
The things I can finish I often wish could go on. When I reach the last page of a book I wish for the next chapter….what happens next? Where do they go from here?

 

Aren’t you glad that in the same vein, God is never finished with us. Aren’t you glad He doesn’t look down at you and say, “I’ve done all I can with this one. I’m finished.”? He started working in us before we were a glimmer in our parents’ eyes and He doesn’t finish that work until well, ever. Even after we leave this earth he won’t be done with us.

 

Godspeed,

Five Minute Friday–Bloom

By 26 Comments

I take the word bloom as a personal challenge.  Today I will bloom where I am.  In the midst of chaos, the bad mood I woke up in due to my children waking me with their fighting, and my personal fears and insecurities.  I will bloom.  This is my first blog post, not just for Five Minute Friday, but my first ever.  I have been putting it off.  Using any excuse I could to make it ok that I wasn’t moving when the Father gave me something to do.  Just one step can set you on a path that you could have never imagined, but you have to take the step before He can bestow blessings on you.  If you refuse to move the Father will move on to someone who will move.  So today I challenge you to take that first step towards obedience, towards the life He wants so badly to give to you.

Bloom where you are planted!

It’s not your surroundings that matter, but the willingness of your heart to surrender to His will that makes all the difference.

 

Godspeed,
