Jesus loves the little children :)

I currently work as an RDH in a pediatric dental office.

Its funny how i thought that would be the LAST place i would work...and now that i have been working there...i couldnt be any place else. It is just so fitting to my personality. However challenging it may be, it is the most rewarding, frustrating, fun job yet. :)

Kids.

I absolutly love them. At times they may be crazy, not sit still, cry...but overall, just to see them smile and laugh is probably one of the greatest things in the world. I see why Jesus loves the little children :)

I think what I love the most is being able to teach the kiddies how to brush their teeth, to show them the dental world, and for them see that being at the dental office is a fun (not scary) place.

Working here and working with kiddies all day is really inspiring me with my new ELWYLdlife'rs. I am so excited to be teaching the middle schooler about Jesus and sharing how much He loves them. I want to show them that Jesus is fun (not scary) and to understand how great a life with Him truely is.

God is so great, and I cannot thank Him enough for loving His children...myself included :)

just breathe.

God I am soo thankful that i am living where i am living. You truely know what we need. What a blessing it is to come home from work and leave the city behind me. every time i drive home past the 96 exit, i see country beauty. the tall bold and bright yellow, green, red, orange, brown beautiful trees verses buildings. rows and rows of cornfields and farm life prancing and munching around in the farmland.

Everyday it reminds me to slow down. to take a deep breath. to breathe. to take it in. to enjoy what God has presented to us. the beauty of His creation. To not take forgranted. To live each day to the fullest. To ignore the craziness. To remember whats really important. To live simply. to seriously, to just breathe.

God gives us life to the fullest.

"Therefore Jesus said again," I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate' whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and to have it to the full." -John 10:7-10

God I pray that no one can get in Your way and cheat me of true prosperity.

Babylon

So Im doing a Beth Moore bible study on the book of Daniel. And wow, we are on week 6 and I can already see and feel my thoughts and my self change. We live in world surrounded by the devil, and "I am and there is no other" is the Babylon mentality. Its amazing that although the book of Daniel was written years and years ago, we very much so live in a Babylonian world.

Doing this bible study is helping me better understand this world we live in. Its helping me better understand Daniel, God, and myself. I have never read or really looked into this book so deeply, and God really is reaching out to me.

I need to not have a Babylonian mentality. I need to be aware of how Babylon is influencing me, and how I need to be influencing Babylon. I need to have people see me as a daughter of God, not Babylon. I need to beleive God is who He is and trust Him with my life. We are becoming so desensitized to the things of this world; divorce, cheating, death, sex, drugs, and the list goes on. The devil is so good at it. I need to remember we are the models for the young ones, and I need to beleive I am holy/worthy and to stop cooperating with the devil. (The devils trick is in every way he can will make us beleive we are less that who we are) Am I embracing the fire or the lions knowing God will pull me throught it?

My biggest question to myself is, am I influencing Babylon, or is Babylon influencing me?? Do people see that the spirit of God lives in me? Am I trusting God or letting my doubts get in the way of His plans?

Daniel is quite the example, and reading the word is making me want to be more like him. I want to know and trust God like he did. Every day I as I dig deeper into my inner thoughts and battles, I become closer to God and am becoming such a better daughter of Christ. I can feel myslef changing; thoughts, actions ect. The more I dig into it, the deeper in get into the nitty gritty crap of my life. God is helping me remove my dead branches and helping me acheive the goal of growing and producing healthy fruit. Renewing the mind and cleansing myself. Am I becoming a godly woman, living up to my name.

Its not easy, the devil has a way of convincing us that we arent worthy, or holy. But I am holy, because God allows me to be.

Whats so crazy as my homepage is biblegateway.com adn this was the verse of the day. couldnt be more relevant to my thoughts. God is so cool.

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will." -Romans 12:2
