Words that fall from our mouths............
Word's are powerful they have the ability to bring life or bring death, God's Word says the tongue is sharper than any two edged sword wow powerful right. Water and Words our easy to pour out but impossible to recover - A Chinese Proverb so true is it not? As wise Woman of God we must realize that our words have the unique power to give hope where one is feeling hopeless, peace in a place of turmoil, and confidence to a fearful soul. May we as women speak words of Praise and Promise to those around us Words of truth not advise or opinions , Words that build up and NOT tear down. My goal is to speak words that minimize others shortcomings, AND SPEAK WORDS that MAXIMIZE other's strengths and encourage those around us to live life fully for Christ. True Friends see each other through the eyes of forgivness and grace.. is not that how CHrist sees us and are we not to be in The Image of God Himself?? We MUST learn to guard our critical tongues and negative thoughts scripture is clear on doing just that......
"FOR OUT OF THE OVERFLOW OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS. THE GOOD MAN BRINGS GOOD THINGS OUT OF THE GOOD STORED UP IN HIM, AND THE EVIL MAN BRINGS EVIL THINGS OUT OF THE EVIL STORED UP IN HIM." (MATTHEW 12:34&35)
" DO NOT LET ANY UNWHOLESOME TALK COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS, BUT ONLY WHAT IS HELPFUL FOR BUILDING OTHER UP ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS, THAT IT MAY BENEFIT THOSE WHO LISTEN. (Ephesians 4:29)
Some Questions to ponder:
Do you find yourself focusing on the lack in others?
Do you weigh their weaknesses against your strengths?
When we speak what is flowing from our heart to the ears of those around us?
And may we remember (self so included) our words really do reveal the very truth of the attitude of our hearts.
Father I ask for forgivness in my own life where I myself have had critical thoughts and words or where what I have said has hurt or harmed anothers well being may you cleanse me of my selfish heart and help us all to listen more and say less may we see ALL others through YOUR eyes and not our flesh may we focus on peoples strengths and NOT their shortcomings for we ALL have them and we are ALL A "WORK IN PROGRESS" MAY THE WORDS that fall from our tongues be covered in love and grace in Jesus Holy name amen.
God Bless In His Amazing Grace,
Cindy

CHRISTmas Season
Can you believe it is the nineth day of December already wow right??? I have not been posting on blog often but I plan on that ALL changing in 2012 New Year NEW perspective and ready to share with y'all again.
My family has been Doing the Advent we are doing the one over at my sweet sister's blog spot A Holy Experience (Ann Voskamp love her) then we also found an amazing Reason for the Season devotional as well over at http://www.toddlerbitesblog.wordpress.com/ it really puts CHRIST back into CHRISTmas 24 Reasons to count down to CHRISTmas the first 8 are all about decorating and getting your house ready for CHRISTmas , 9-14 are all about the sights you will see all around town this season, 15-18 are all about celebrating with family and friends, 19-24 Center around The CHRISTmas Story so far it has been amazing and very informative love it great resource.
I also encourage y'all this very busy season to take a few "Silent Nights" and what that is are nights that we turn the noise off phones and computers TV and all distractions that keep us from focusing on the TRUE MEANING of this wonderful amazing season and from our family time. You may during these times decide to watch a quiet CHRISTmas movie but no other noise on all night it is awesome. Whatever your family traditions are please SLOW down and enjoy each other and dont get all caught up in the hussle and bustle the world places on this season.
REMEMBER FRIENDS- AS WE ARE UNWRAPPING GIFTS THIS SEASON MAY WE NOT FORGET TO UNWRAP THE BEST GIFT OF ALL "GOD'S GIFT OF GRACE AND SALVATION" HE wants us to have it, it was free yet bought at such a very high cost. It is EXTRAVAGANT, SO UNWRAP IT, EMBRACE IT, AND MOST OF ALL "LIVE IT" .
READ EPH. 2:8-9
May the Grace of God Bless you This CHRISTmas Season and from my family to all of your families God Bless, Merry CHRISTmas , and Happy New Year
Until Next Time,
Cindy Bolt

Not Perfect....Who is??
After much prayer and the encouragement of my fellow blog friends I will begin to blog again. I have been discouraged after hearing some commentary by some whom are critical and judgemental,but I have taken it to the Lord and He says He is my defender I must not defend myself to anyone else He will do so. I love what my sis said over at Womenlivingwell.org just said the other day; "I'm a huge disappointment and it's time I embrace disappointing others-to the Glory of God ! It is easy for bloggers to think we must portray ourselves as perfect and we all know that is impossible only Jesus is perfect and my job is to be honest I am a glorious mess and that is OK that is when Jesus SHINES through and the Glory may be given to God.
This blog is intended to share my life and my life only as openly as possible and as real as possible I do ask that when visiting this blog we are leaving Godly edifying comments uplifting and encouraging and if and when we have a concern or question or an offence of ANY kind then as the BIBLE INSTRUCTS I encourage you to bring it to me in private and we can care for it then I wish for this to be a place of EXAMPLE and Love and again where my personal life is shared not what others should or should not be doing. May God Bless each of us and may we turn our hearts into hearts of Thanksgiving this month as we prepare to sit at the Thanksgiving Table.
Until Next Time,
Cindy

HELLO I am joining with my gal pal over at http://www.womenlivingwell.org/ for the FALL CHALLENGE "MAKING YOUR HOME A HAVEN" below is the start date and what to do you can also see in more detail over on her blog great site as well. God Bless and pray about joining us.
October 3 - Go buy an extra large candle and light a candle everyday in your home. I will be starting mine in the morning! But you can start yours at dinner time. Do what makes sense for your family. I will be placing mine in the kitchen – the main hub of my home. Each time the candle catches your eye, say a prayer for peace in your home.
October 10 – Play soft music everyday in your home. Choose worship, classical or another form of peaceful music that the family enjoys. Focus on using peaceful words and maintaining peaceful relationships. Remind your family to avoid seething anger, tattling, criticism or back talk. As the wife/mother, work on gentleness this week.
October 17 – List a few of the spots in your home that make you visually stressed because of all the clutter.Now go buy something for that spot – like a basket to put it all in! Work on cleaning up clutter – throw things away and encourage the children and your hubby to do the same in their bedrooms or offices or work areas this week. While you’re at it – clean up some clutter in your spiritual life. What gets in the way of your peace spiritually?
October 24 -Keep the candle going, the music playing, and add some tender moments with your family. Have a pillow party in the family room and get out every blanket and pillow in the house and be cozy with the kids or your hubby! Even if you live alone you can do this. Enjoy a cozy evening of hot cider and caramel corn. Give a 5 minute back rub to every single person in your house…and for a double challenge- try to give one every day to each family member! During your tender moment with the family, ask them how they feel about this challenge. Are they enjoying it? Is it helpful? Is there anything they would change. Give your family listening ears. I think you will be blessed by the positive feedback you will receive!
October 31 – Focus on the kitchen, the heart of the home. Cook things with pleasant aromas. Pick a meal the family can cook together – include everyone in a task and take pictures so everyone can remember moments in the kitchen together – test tasting, being creative, laughing and loving. Remove discontentment with your home or family and give thanks to God for the home God has given you to in which to create a haven for your family.
God Bless you all as we enter this new season!
In His AMAZING GRACE,
Cindy
