From the Muck to the Mighty; My Journey with Jesus

Be careful what you ask for, especially when asking from the Lord. I prayed a while back, asking the Lord to help me understand my husband’s anger and boy oh boy did He; right in time for Christmas. They say that idle hands are the devil's workshop and they are not wrong. It's actually a translation of Proverbs 16:27-29 that I will post below. There are a lot of things I’m learning as I continue to read the Bible, yet I always seem to fall back on realizing that the more I know, the less I know; and that I know nothing but Jesus Christ Crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2.  Nothing else makes sense. As I sat with the Lord over the Holiday weekend, I was broken. I had too much time on my hands and the kids were with their dads. We had our Christmas yesterday so I was excited for that, but not having them on Christmas morning is always a little hard for me. This Christmas I was struggling emotionally, and as per the norm, when we are down the enemy uses it. Maybe it's just me but it ...
