I hanged out with pastor and his wife of portland apostolic christian church of america tonight - we had fun! I don't enjoy mostly leaving that church, I don't really want to "live in a suitcase" no more, I want to belong to a church and know I belong a whole lot.........................

Apostolic christian church of america ----- it is ok to attend a occasional baseball game I promise, there's a verse about that in the bible it is called "liberty in christ jesus"...............
Galatians 2:3-4 "But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:"

One of the many lies the devil tells people I believe is that if they just get this new car, or this new whatever life is about to be so easy all of the sudden when the truth is: Luke 12:48 "But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."......................
The pastors of the apostolic christian church of america invested in me a lot over the years, and I knew "oh snap now I have to deliver the goods". And now I'm like "increasing" in another way, in a material goods sort of way..............................which also god expect much from us in that way as well to be good stewarts of our money and I think of the things we own. Never is nothing given to me, that god doesn't expect (or men.......aka.............luke 12:48 ".................and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more" THEY WILL ASK) me to do something with.
And the more I get, or am given THE MORE THAT IS EXPECTED.
My parents, live far away from me, they said if they lived nearby they would never watch our kids and I would be upset by that. They have some view that if they have no responsibilities or very few, that then they are "winning" and "living the good life". This morning my mom told me in a e-mail that her and my dad finally joined a senior citizen center and are about to take up ballroom dancing.
Are they winning?????????????????????? (though they were foster parents for my brother's daughter for a few years)
A older member of the apostolic christian church of america said to me one day "it's good to be in demand". It's good to have responsibilities!
Is what god is expecting from you lessened in old age???????????? Ya, I think that is possible. But all those grandkids you have old people reading this if you have grandkids GOD GAVE YOU THEM!
I am going off on a slight tangent --------- adopting kids and/or becoming foster parents I think is AWESOME..................not to flee from "responsibilities" but embrace them. In my estimation a life that is more abundant, is one where you have people that rely on you.
If my life was just about me, or just about me and my husband....................I don't think I'd be happy. I don't think that'd be very abundant of a life for me. I'd need to go become a missionary something. John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
Not that I'm knocking ballroom dancing, that is fun my parents pry will have a good time. (then their plans are to sell their house and move to arizona ------- this being the 2nd time they've moved to arizona to live the retired dream life) They may manage it to, to have little or no responsibilities, to go golfing and go to picknics they showed me this retirement group in arizona, that has all these activities..............................I hope my parents have jesus in their lives cause without christ I can't imagine that stuffs being that fun.
I'm alright with having responsibilites my entire life. I want to serve!!!!!!!!!!! I want to die knowing I gave my all...............Philippians 3:7-9 "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"
ps..................I don't think you have to have a full time job to have a good "work ethic" either, I believe we all can................Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up hiscross daily, and follow me."
