FLESH & FAITH

Fighting the Flesh, Keeping the Faith

Real stories of failures in the flesh and triumphs of faith.

ABOUT THE BLOG

When my flesh and my heart fail, God is my portion and my strength. Psalm 73:26
This Psalm has inspired me in many ways. It's helped me deal with my lifelong anxieties and it's inspired the name for my blog. Flesh and Faith is a place where I want to share with you some funny, crazy, and very real stories of my fleshly failures and some heartwarming, inspiring, and very real stories from my faith in a faithful God. Not sure about you, but my flesh fails often but my faith is strong. My hope is that these stories inspire, encourage you and bring glory to God. I pray that my words help you to fight the flesh, build your faith and find your strength and portion in God.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Real Me

This is me in the flesh. I'm messy, unorganized, forgetful. I'm human, I'm weak, I'm fleshly and I fail. But for all of my fleshly failures I have a faith that is way bigger than a mustard seed and can move mountains. I have a faith that is confident in what I hope for and assured of what I do not see. I am a Christian, child of God, wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and secretary of our local small town church. My husband James and I have been married for 17 years and counting, if he continues to lavish me with good things. We are raising two daughters to love and serve the Lord. One teen and one pre-teen. Lord help us. They are beautiful and dad is a great shot. The oldest, Ashlin is a future volleyball pro, if there is such a thing and my youngest Jamie is a drama queen who can sing and perform like nobody's business. We strive to love and serve the Lord together, but we may not all end up at the dinner table at the same time each night, because that is our life. But when we're together and having fun we can laugh until our sides split. I have a crazy silly and sometimes cheesy sense of humor and I tend to think way outside the box. I'm an avid Oklahoma Sooners fan, "Boomer Sooner" and have an odd obsession with baby groot and Abraham Lincoln. This is me in all my not so glorious glory. I hope you can relate.

Memorial

A memorial is intended to commemorate someone or something.

We celebrate Memorial Day to commentate or remember those who have fought for our country and our freedoms, to remember that our current military continues to do the same and remember loved ones who have passed on by placing flowers on their graves. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13

As Christians we have a unique opportunity to remember One who laid down His life for all of mankind for freedom from our sins.

“So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.” John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭

During the communion we have the blessing of taking the bread that represents the body and the juice that represents the blood that He shed, all the while knowing that he gently commanded “Do this in remembrance of me.“ What a wonderful thing to be able to commemorate Jesus‘ sacrifice upon the first day of the week.

Greater love has no man than to sacrifice his life, whether it be for a country or for the world.

This Memorial weekend is a great reason to remember those who have died for us, especially the One who died so we can live, not only in freedom in this life, but for eternity. He died so we can live again.
