What is a life that proves love for its Maker?

with my heart - cultivating a love for Him and a value for all the things He values

with my soul - nourishing it daily with Truth from His words, seeing them as they are: my "life"!

with my strength - pursuing a healthy and balanced lifestyle; not growing idle (Prov 31), but keeping active and in order

with my mind - making the choice to "set" my mind on "things of above", all that is good, true, pleasing, and lovely; to "fix" my eyes on Jesus rather than myself or the world, wearing the hope of salvation as a helmet over it (1 Thess 5)

This was good for me to read today... Advice for living life at home as an adult? This can be a great thing or it can be a horrible thing. What's really unfortunate about the whole topic is that there is this crowd of homeschoolers out there that has almost ruined the reputation of us "still-at-home-after-highschool" ers. When I say ruined our reputation, I mean ruined the way people as a whole think about young people living at home/not going away to the typical 4yr degree, secular college deal. They've almost ruined it because there is a large number of graduated girls (and guys, but we're just talking about the girls here so I won't get started on the guy problem) who do nothing but wash laundry, make dinner, and browse the web. Now, I'm not saying those things are bad. (I do each of them!) But if that's all you're doing there is a serious problem. I've seen way too many girls who have done that. You will look back year...

"I urge you, brother, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites." (Rom. 16:17, 18) How's my appetite?   Am I hungry for His Word, thirsting for time in His presence?? Desiring "meaty" teaching, and ready to eat what He puts before me?  I don't want to be one of "those who cause divisions" or one who is a walking obstacle for others beside me in the road of life... simply because of my change of appetite. Hungry for the world, and the things of it. Desiring to please myself, in place of the Lord.  Jesus, make me a JOY to be around because of what you are in me!  Don't let me fall into a place where others must "keep away from" because of my short-fallings, so that they may keep from the temptation of doing the same.  Be the constant change I need in my life...
