Conviction sharing....

i heard a quote recently that I really liked:
"we live by faith, but we're blessed by obedience".
that's good, isn't it? this whole obedience thing is huge - truly just obeying will keep you really busy.

so....i've been thinking about that and then walked into a sermon on Sunday that was quite stirring.
check out the podcast when you get a chance. (http://www.destinychurch.info/) the message is called "New Direction. But here's a quick run-down.

"When you give your commitment and devotion to God, He astounds you with His provision and His blessing."
...however...
Malachi 1 & 2 points out 3 things God doesn't bless -

1. God doesn't bless our left-overs. Malachi 1:6-14
2. God doesn't bless lousy leaders. Malachi 2:1-9
3. God doesn't bless broken vows. Malachi 2:10-16

hmmm....check out the podcast

Thanks so much.

You are welcome to go back to stalking now if you'd prefer. :)

Thanks for the kind words though - us moms need all the inspiration we can get don't we!
