Where Is Your Treasure?

-
Matthew 6:21
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

This is not going to be a long word family. This is one of those verses that make you say "ok, it is what it is". But what makes you think about this verse a little more seriously is when you ask yourself the question. So lets reread the verse first.  
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

So now the question that you need to ask yourself is where is my treasure?  Basically what we need to be thinking about here is that God wants our love (our heart). But if our heart is chasing something, or finding something else more important than God, then... well.... maybe you just don't love God the way you claim to. 

What this means in simpler terms is, if you love the nightclub so much that you would go on saturday night, knowing you need to be at Service on Sunday morning, the club has become your treasure. 

If you have $20 in your pocket that you were going to give for Kingdom Planting at church, but you ran out of your favorite wine, and you use that money for the wine, rather than the kingdom planting, the wine has become your treasure. 

Now, i'm not harping on anyone here. You all know i'm pretty transparent about my own stuff. So I don't mind telling you another. I should be waking up earlier in the mornings to study the word. Those early mornings are my quiet time when my whole family is sleeping. But i'm up late at night doing other things and maybe not as "in order" as I should be in order to physically have a better chance to waking up early. I can justify all of this. But fact of the matter is that if I can't make a choice to get things in order at night, so that I can wake up at the time that God has been calling me to, then life/family has become my treasure. I can justify it as much as I want. But the facts are the facts. If I loved my family so much that they had become a treasure, I should want to make it a point to get things in order. Want to know why? Because if I give my entire heart to God the way He wants it, my family will automatically have a special covering, just because of my efforts. 

So I hope that you are able to find out if you have any hidden treasures. And if you do, then maybe you can find out what is keeping you from giving your heart to God. Remember it's all a choice, and if you Choose God, He Will take care of you. 

I love you all!!! Be Blessed!!!!

Snow White and the 7... sins (continued)

Hi Family, So on Friday I told you about a couple of things. My love for Disney movies (don't judge people!) and 7 sins per the world and then the 7 per The Word. So since the Lord brought me to the 7 sins per the world first, we are going to follow His lead. His way is best right? So after thinking about the seven dwarfs and the 7 deadly sins... I thought about the characteristics about those sins. And how they are in us, but we don't see them. Maybe not all of the sins, maybe only one. Maybe you are so absolutely faithful and perfect in life that you have none. But for the majority of us, myself included, we have at minimum one of the seven. They are sins that are hidden even from themselves, but like a mirror they can usually see their reflection in others. For example, a prideful person cannot see the spirit of Pride or Arrogance in themselves. But they can see it in others. Because of these types of sins (wh...

Snow White and the 7...... sins...

Psalm 51:7 NLT Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean: wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Hi Family! If you know me, in my inner heart, you know that I'm a Disney fan. I had to take the day off work yesterday and I got caught up with the kids watching Disney movies. Starting, of course, with a new Disney movie because Lareina kept asking to watch it. It was Descendants 2. Now, let me be honest, I saw the first Descendants movie and I LOVED IT. LOL! So although I fought and fought not to watch this one for weeks, I still ended up watching it yesterday. I hadn't realized how much I would connect with the movie. Outside of the songs and the dancing and the good vs. evil plot of course. But the message was a really good message about being your own Authentic You. And how important it is to be your own authentic you ESPECIALLY for and around the people you love. Because it's exhausting and truly debilitating (mentally and physically) to try to live up to the ex...

Trapped? or Protected?

Hey Family! I was watching a cartoon on Disney Jr with my baby girl. She loves this cartoon. Elena of Avalor. I can't lie, i'm all in it too. Singing all the songs with Sami and everything. Haa Haa Haa!!! Here is Princess Elena..... She is beautiful.  In her story, her parents are killed during an attack by the evil Queen Shuriki who then trapped Elena's grandparents and little sister in a painting. When she attempted to kill 16 year old Princess Elena, she inadvertently trapped Princess Elena in an amulet from the necklace Elena had on. The thing is that, Elena ended up trapped in that amulet for 41 years!!! It was after that time that Elena was rescued by another worthy princess  named Princess Sophia of Enchancia.  And they teamed up together to defeat the evil queen who took over Avalor after the royal family had "disappeared". But honestly, the day I watched the episode (again for the 5th time maybe), I saw something different. I wondered, was Princ...
