What Does the Will of God Look Like?

Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk. 

Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)


There are many days in my life that I wonder…is this really all I was meant to do?  Come on now, all you moms out there ask yourself the same thing and more than once!
We go through life frustrated looking for the will of God thinking it should look different than it does.


You may say...what is happening in my life right now is not the will of God. How do you know? 

What does the will of God look like then?



Our journey is not to find the "will of God" but to find PURPOSE in the "will of God"!



Have you ever thought that you are right now in the "will of God" but are just refusing to accept it?



Finding the "will of God" is not hard. It is submitting to the will of God that is hard.



What is going on TODAY IS God's will!!!



Illustration: When Mary became with child, she most likely dreamed of the day the Son of God would be born. When she had to travel to Bethlehem on a donkey to pay taxes...find there was no room in the inn...had to choose a stable and lay the Son of God in a manger? She probably thought...this can't be the will of God! This is not how I pictured it! Yet it was the will of God! 


The will of God may never be how we picture it to be!

So today if you are wondering if you are truly submitting to the will of God…consider these things…

1. There is a surrendering of self.
2. There is a supremacy of Christ.
3. There is a sincere love for others.
4. There is a spirit of thanksgiving.
5. There is a song in your heart.
6. There is a service of Christ.


So today’s challenge is:  Don’t just try finding the will of God for your life…submit to that will.

Will you take the challenge?

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
