Waterproof Principle 30 - This is just the beginning

"The Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge (the beginning of Wisdom), But fools despise wisdom and discipline." Prov 1:7 Fearing the Lord is a healthy respect for Him. Be sensitive to what He requires... I am talking about Relationship with the Spirit of God, not religion.  If you LOVE Me, You will OBEY Me...He says. You just don't wake up one day and Love Him. You Hear His Voice and you respond. This is a continual walk. This is the whole 'enchilada' of honest Christianity. You don't have to be in a church to experience God. He is Everywhere. The Fear of man often leads us into the low areas of life. Fear of disappointing people.  Fear of failure...Fear of confrontation. You are Wise, if you make a choice rooted in:  Pleasing and Obeying God. Even if it means, losing a few people around you. You will always be rewarded for that choice. He gives Beauty for Ashes... Many a tim...

Waterproof Principle 29 - Honor Your Parents

"Listen to your Father, who gave you life,  and don't despise your Mother  when she is old." Prov.23:22 Dear Readers, We are nearing the end of our adventure of the 30 Waterproof Principles -  On the 8th of September, which is only a few hours away,  I will be 30!!! My Parents I was a surprise to my parents...Last-born and youngest of four. When my parents were my age, they already had four children. What a big responsibility... I would like to use this moment to honor them. My Wonderful Father, a man of God, a Father who has laughed with me, cried with me and held me during the toughest times of my life. He has brought music into our house (although we differ on taste at times, rhythm remains!) He is a man full of faith, one I am proud of. Adventure Mom! She lives by the words: "Life is an Adventure." The Adventure? swing from trees, get cuts and bruises, cry a little, laugh a lot and live the life before you. Taught me ...

Waterproof Principle 28 - "Leaving a Legacy"

You must not follow  the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice. Exodus 23:2 you might find yourself in a particular situation...one where you will have to choose, and it might cost you something or even someone dear. It might cost you your reputation, a dear friend, who can't seem to agree with your life choices and the direction you have decided to take....... or even that promotion at work. It might cost you the most loved to you. He is worth it. There is a song by the Irish Band, The Rend Collective experiment: 'THE COST'. "I've counted up the cost and You are worth it..." http://youtu.be/cprV3TZet0g When you are counting up the cost, also remember those who come after you. Who might want to stand for the same reasons you are standing. If you've made your stand, the one after you won't have to stand as strong. He or she can stand a...

Waterproof Principle 27 - The Ugly Wife; the Truth

                                          "...Never make a  pretty woman (the lie) your wife." Truth , light as a feather... outweighs every lie. Shadows,  heavy with fear and uncertainty, dragging led feet. You thought, you think you did, you acted. Invited. Truth knows you. But you sit  at that table there  dressed in lies and deceit. Plastic and wind is all you will get to eat. Come to My table won't cost you a thing. paying with lies? Come naked, I'll give you a drink. I'll fill up your stomach  We'll talk, laugh and cry  When you leave here, You won't want to ... You'll be Dressed in My Light. iskra

Waterproof Principle 26 - "Will the Real OAK pls STAND"

"The God of heaven will help us succeed. We, his servants, will start rebuilding this wall....." Nehemiah 2:20 Welcome to the 26th Waterproof Principle. For those of you who are new to the blog I have been writing on and exploring 30 Waterproof, Basic Christian, Life Principles in Thankfulness to the Living God of the Bible, for my almost 30 years of life...(birthday coming up soon!).  You don't have to be a Christian to appreciate or be changed by it -  But in Light of the Truth unveiled to me and the miracles I have witnessed, I have made my choice and am allowing the Truth to change me. So what I'm actually saying is....'Welcome!' THE WALL When I was considering a quote to explain this principle, I thought of this famous one: "If You Don't Stand For Anything You will Fall For Everything." I don't know who the person is who said it, so of course I went to  'google-it'...I then came accross the intere...

Waterproof Principle 25 - Your Relfection

 There he went into a cave to spend the night. Suddenly the LORD spoke to him,  "Elijah, what are you doing here?"      1Kings 19:9-13  One day at our church the pastor spoke to us about knowing  who you are in Christ and he showed us this picture... The Mirror is the Truth (Jesus)  Although people around you might see you as a 'loser', because of what Jesus has done for us ... He sees the Lion in you. Walking in Victory; you need to learn to see yourself the way He sees you. a Overcomer, a new creation, fearfully and wonderfully made.    If you listen to the word, but do not put it into practice you  are like people who look in a mirror and see themselves as they are.   They take a good look at themselves and then go away and at once forget what they look like .   But if you look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, and keep on paying attention to it and d...
