February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together.

"Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets." Luke 6:26
"I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead." Rev 3:1
"Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have all men call them "Rabbi". Matthew 23:5-7

Great reminder, Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI always want to follow hard after God!
I love that Revelation verse that sees past our facade to our heart. Thank God that He does that!
ReplyDeleteYour post brought to mind Galatians 1:10....Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved my girlfriends mother's sayin...If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything!!

I'm so thankful God knows my heart.
ReplyDeleteYes and Amen! I just taught a lesson yesterday on persecution, including the passage, "all who will live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution."
ReplyDeleteWith all my heart, I want to love Him the way He deserves to be loved. That love is not, nor will it ever be, a tepid one.
