Faith in action

James 2:25-26 (Message translation)
"The same with Rahab, The Jericho harlot. Wasn't her action in hiding God's spies and helping them escape-
that seamless unity of believing and doing- what counted with God?
The very moment you separate body and spirit, you end up with a corpse.
Separate faith and works and you get the same thing: a corpse.
"

About Me

I am a mother of three children and one step son. My daughter Amanda died in a car accident when she was 19. I have Nicholas who is 21, and Jared who is 14. My stepson Zachary is 25. The absence of my daughter in my life has forever changed me and my perspective. I try not to say "the loss" of my daughter because I have not lost her- I know exactly where she is at- and I will see her again! It has been 6 years since she left and the pain of missing her beautifulness never gets better- but I have decided with the help of God that if I am still here... that means He still wants me to do something here, and I will do my best. Some days that is much better than others! I am married to Tim, my husband for 18 years, a man who is seeking after God and taking good care of me. I love him very much. I love my family and friends deeply and cherish all time spent with them. I like cooking/baking for my family and friends. I like to be outside doing just about anything and enjoy crafty stuff like crochet and quilting. I am forever thankful to Jesus for His gift of salvation and His love. I hope to run a good race until the very end.
The picture of red flowers growing out of the rocks reminds me of the flowers called "acceptance with joy" in the book Hinds Feet in High Places. I am trying to learn not just acceptance but acceptance with JOY!
