Set Straight by God~ the word DISCIPLINE

Have you ever heard a word more "Cringing"? As children we remember that word which usually followed with something like "Now this is gonna hurt me a lot more than its gonna hurt you."~~ RIGHT! No wonder that word makes us tighten our butt cheeks up!
You know... I have been in some real prayer about my relationship with God, my husband, ministry, family, work & life in general..... And what He keeps saying is DISCIPLINE~~~~ Not exactly what I wanted to hear. But my "OK, can I have another word please, God" didn't really work. Especially when the next was "Obedience." So with slumped shoulders I do what I always do when God gives me a word. I go to dictionary.com and type it in. Here is what I found:
Discipline:
A.Training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement.
B.Controlled behavior resulting from disciplinary training; self-control.
C.Control obtained by enforcing compliance or order.
D.A systematic method to obtain obedience: a military discipline.
E.A state of order based on submission to rules and authority: a teacher who demanded discipline in the classroom.
F.Punishment intended to correct or train.
G.A set of rules or methods, as those regulating the practice of a church or monastic order.
H.A branch of knowledge or teaching.
Corina' version
A. Another words I need some help in my attitude and "pattern of behavior"=responses
B. Self-control pretty much summed it up
C. Get in check with what God is saying, Holy Spirit is teaching
D. Uh-oh ~ probably why Obedience was my second word when I tried the "uh don't like that word God, I would like to buy a vowel.~~ I know, too much wheel a fortune when growing up.
E. There's the submission word
F. If don't listen to A-B-C
G. Get more into the Word-- See what HE says about the word Discipline
H. Prayer......... Holy Spirit as our teacher.......

Curious.. I had to look up
obedience..
1: the act of obeying; dutiful or submissive behavior with respect to another person
2: the trait of being willing to obey (To carry out or fulfill the command, order, or instruction of.)
3: behavior intended to please your parents

You know...... I want all that... I want to obey, show my respect, have the "trait of being willing to obey" and all that it means... Number 3 really hit me.... I want my behavior to please my Father in Heaven.....

So this month I am pursuing Discipline.
I will have to post my notes from last months Word from God in my life...

Tis not working

some reason the last post did not go on

Time

Ahh, back in blog land...
It seems my time to do all that I mean to do, just disappears. My life is busy, fun and exciting. Some would think stressful, overworked, and hair pulling... But me, I see it as holding on tightly screaming in joy as my rollercoaster rounds another bend in life. I have always been one who laughs on things that makes others scream. Even if my heart is pounding out of my chest, my breath is short, and the lingering stomach ache hits...I still see things as "here we go".
My job I am in training doing something that I never really thought I would do, still doing my "job" part of the week (being creative in cramming 5 days of work into 2), the ministry is booming. We have "More than Rubies" Thursday night classes for women from the streets, partnering with a local Christian college. And planning for our HUGE Women's Advance .......... NOT saying Women's retreat- my handsome hubby once made a remark "women retreat, men advance."
Anyway... Feb 9 & 10th we are having our "Women of Living Water Advance"
~A thirsty Heart for God~
Pray for the planning, the reservations, and the message that is on our speakers hearts to share with hundreds of women who do not know the Lord!
