The Fire of Your Heart
Daily Devotional by Max Lucado
“the One who came still comes and the One who spoke still speaks”
September 18
The Fire of Your Heart
My God, I want to do what you want. Your teachings are in my heart.
Psalm 40:8 (NCV)
Want to know God's will for your life? Then answer this question: What ignites your heart? Forgotten orphans? Untouched nations? The inner city? The outer limits?
Heed the fire within!
Do you have a passion to sing? Then sing! Are you stirred to manage? Then manage! Do you ache for the ill? Then treat them! Do you hurt for the lost? Then teach them!
As a young man I felt the call to preach. Unsure if I was correct in my reading of God's will for me, I sought the counsel of a minister I admired. His counsel still rings true. "Don't preach," he said, "unless you have to."
As I pondered his words I found my answer: "I have to. If I don't, the fire will consume me."
What is the fire that consumes you?

M.I.A.
I have been M.I.A. from Blogging for quite some time now. I have had several reasons I guess and none really.
1. Summer makes me crazy
2. Having had surgery at the beginning of summer made me crazier
3. I have spent too much time on facebook
4. Back to school is always hectic
5. Schedules are nuts with soccer, scouts, piano, school, homework, etc
6. I am back to volunteering weekly and not home as much
7. Had some work done on our house that was a repair and needed doing so I stayed away a bit
8. Had to visit San Antonio to see my Daddy who is dying from lung cancer
9. Been sad for a dear friend with pancreatic cancer and is so young and beautiful
10. I am leading a bible study on Monday and loving that
11. Been busy as a deacon for my church
12. Helping with two PSA (like PTO) projects
13. Trying to be a great mommy to my girls
14. Trying to be a good wife to my husband
15. Trying not to waste time on the computer..........Ha!
So, that is my latest in a list.
Pray for my Daddy. He nears the end of his battle with Lung Cancer and struggles to breathe. Quit smoking or you too may suffocate like he is, slowly. Pray fro my friend Julie that her battle be courageous and painless.
Pray for Julie's family, her two daughters and husband, that they may find peace and healing too.
Pray for a cure for cancer. All cancer. Any cancer. It is awful and SUCKS.
I will be back to blogging, just not as often. Still check in with you all, just not as often. Hope everyone is having a blessed Wednesday. Still my favorite day of the week.

Rivers
I have several rivers in my life and stories to tell about them all.
I have spent many an hour showing people around in downtown San Antonio and riding the barges of the San Antonio River. Not to mention I was in a National Coca Cola commercial at 15 that was filmed in a boat on the SA river!
I have floated and sat in the cool waters of the Frio River in Leakey (lake-ee) Texas for the past 15 years thanks to my sweet husband, this is a small but lovely piece of paradise. (even when it is over 100 degrees)
And now I live in a city on a Real Working River. The Ohio River. Dividing Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington/Newport Kentucky, the Ohio River sits at the heart of downtown. Kipper's office overlooks the river and it is the life blood of our city.
Rivers, the water of life. My life!
