My Day Today

Well today I had the best of intentions regarding walking in the Spirit, so I would not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

What a battle.

I started well had a bit of a lapse in the middle of the day then tried to get back on track.

It truly is a daily crucifixion the only problem is I do not enjoy this process.

The conflict is is that I have experienced the joy of obedience and the pain of killing this flesh of mine.

I even know it gains me nothing to walk in the flesh but I delude myself to think otherwise, aren't we nuts sometimes?

To repeat the same behavior expecting a different result is often called neurotic.

I do do the same behaviour at times, am I really expecting a different result? Honestly I do hope for one at times, but.......

what I am really doing is going LaLaLaLa I can't hear you.

To Whom Do You Belong?

As a Christian woman I often forget that I do not own myself anymore.


I was bought at a price and belong to another.


I am a bond servant of Jesus.


Well to see the way I act at times who would know. 


 I am supposed to be the fragrance of Jesus yet I find myself to be more of a stench at times.


I stink when I forget that I am not my own.

“walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” 


This lust is when I think I am my own and not His, this happens periodically it is often so subtle I don't always recognize it.


When I don't watch what I put in my body, when I don't watch what comes out of my mouth and more importantly when I am not guarding my heart to see that the issues that flow out of it are healthy and full of life.  When I don't keep check on my attitudes and behaviours.


Remember when we were in love and how that felt? How we could have walked on water and would have tried for the one we loved.  That our thoughts went to them most of the day.  How we would anticipate with great longing when we would see them next.  How every little things about them made us think we had just struck gold in the relationship department.


Yes, you know don't you?


This attitude of love is what we need to have towards our Saviour, the Lover of our Soul.


He loves us like this yet we very quickly forget Him and often compartmentalize our relationship with the God of all the earth.


If we belong to Him and I do, getting back to the place where I want to spread His fragrance throughout my world is necessity to the fulfillment of my life.


Let's remember To Whom We Belong

What Will My Sharing look Like?

Well I was thinking that my musings will take on various forms but I am sure will all have the same style of me in each memo.
I am hoping to share my day to day journey,  The roads I have traveled in the past and what I may or may not have learned.  The paths for the future I would hope to walk upon and those I have resonated with learnt from or hope to learn from.


I am hoping others will leave their comments and thoughts as well as we are all richer for sharing.

Why Do A Blog?

Well I want to leave something for my children, put down my thoughts in the hope it may encourage someone else and to create a meeting place for others to come have a coffee and chat

So Why Call It Mamas Memos?

I am a mother of many and I have stuff that I would like my children to know about me and life that they can look to at any time, even when I have passed on.  


Children always need their mama and often need advice or some words of comfort even when they cannot talk to her. 


I also think that when you are a mama you have a lot to offer even to others so this is one of the places I can pour myself out for others like a hot steamy cuppa’

This story in the above link is so true.

We must appreciate who and what God made us.

And just like I consider myself a Rose in the King's Garden, you too should find out what part you are to play and do it.
