It's that time of year again!


I've had a love hate relationship with this holiday for years. But here's some fun! Just because it is fun and funny! Have a happy Halloween and reach others with the gospel!

Came home tonight to this lovely visitor! Photo credit goes to my hubs for the large on and me to the distance one, haha! I'm a chicken!

Constrained?

Recently many have asked me this question: Why sign your emails or letters "constrained"?

Here's my answer: 
The bible in 2 Cor 5:14-15 says that the "love of God constrains us" and we know that because one died for all then ALL died that we might live to Him. I have learned from experience that often the things I desire to do (like avenge myself, be selfish, do things that make me the focus) often are changed into things He would have me to do- as if even my obedience is supernatural in everyway. It's like God is compelling me, controlling me, to be and to do things he calls us too. I have found myself constrained to follow even at times I felt the cost too high or too deep. That's why I write constrained at the end of letters and emails,  because I have found Christ to have truly BOUGHT my life and made me His slave, even often in spite of myself! I hope that satiates the curious minds!
