Tip #33 on being a youth pastors wife...

The biggest lie..

In my devotion time today, I was watching a video and the speaker had mentioned a verse from the Bible that really hit home for me..


I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
Revelation 3:1b


He asked the question in his message..

 
What are you in love with right now..

in a different way..
 
What is the biggest lie in your life right now..

We see the word LOVE sometimes and think how can being in LOVE with something be so wrong because LOVE is so good but when you really think about it when you are in LOVE with something that is not of Christ it is not good..

When he asked what is the biggest lie in your life right now..many things came to my mind.

One thing that really stood out to me was the idea of the biggest lie. He said it in a way that meant what were you hiding in your life that you want no one to know about or that you want revealed even to yourself. That's not a bad question but the way that I answered it in my head was what in my life was not truth. We know God and Jesus and His word as truth and what is true so what in our life was a lie.

This really stuck with me and made me wonder if someone went around and surveyed people on who I was what would they say about me. Would it be good, bad, flattering.. I would hope that it would be good and that what they said were true.. Then I thought what if those people went into the throne room of God and asked the same questions about me..what would be said..

With God he doesn't hold anything back. In this verse in Revelation he is talking to fellow believers and he is calling them out on their acts to be alive but the fact that they are dead. Would what God says about me match what people on this earth are saying because what God says is gonna be the truth.

So my question to you today is if I went around and asked people about who you were what would they say but better yet if I went into the throne room and asked God what would he say about you.

Would he say you were dead or ALIVE!

Lets become ALIVE in Him and live our lives so that others see us as ALIVE!

and it begins. Starting a blog is terrifying to me. Things come to mind for fears such as                     -I wont be good at this.                     - No one will care                      - I wont know what to talk about                       - I'll never update But on the other hand, I am so excited because I am able to express so many different things.. so...here goes.

Tip #45 on being a youth pastors wife..

so I was right..I wasn't going to be very good at updating but I have come to learn that it will be a random whenever i learn a lesson/good point kinda post type thing.. so tip #45: Know now that you will sometimes spend evenings alone while the hubby gets to go to movies, cool parties and awesome other events to take time to be with the youth.  for example.. tonight I am in class till 10p and I get a text at 9:51p asking if Joel could go to the movies with a youth to see a movie that I have been wanting to see for quiet sometime..Joel being the man that he is takes time to ask me but he knows im going to say yes to the oppurtunity so he is already on the way with him to the movie..so cute! but as I sit here all by myself I think to myself how truly blessed I am to have a husband that will take time out of his time off..his sleep..his relaxiation time to go out and be with a youth just to gain a better relationship with him.. so now i have realized that I need to quit school....
