Mamas Memos
I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is in my own aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. Philippians 3:13,14 Amp How the journey of my life aspires to this scripture

Reaching toward You Lord
Keep reaching for Him
Do you ever feel like you are reaching and not getting there, not finding Him not making it to the place with the Lord that you desire?
When I find myself in this situation I just have to keep reaching anyway and pray He finds me and He is always faithful.
Keep Reaching people

Lead me back to you God
When we face the day it is
our God that must come first
I forget this at times and boy do I struggle. I have what I call a God conscience in that I think of God often and look at life through the eyes of how things in my life relates to God in my life however making sure I go to the cross everyday for a daily washing of forgiveness and then to the word for a daily washing of the word is a discipline I don't always do and certainly not enough.
I pray for you all is that as Jesus draws you to Him you will recognize His drawing and respond with eagerness.

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.
