Update..

We had a good service this morning in Church. My husband preached from Philippians chapter 3 where Paul was telling the church that if anyone thought they were righteous enough in the eyes of the law, he had more reason to believe this than anyone yet he knew he needed Christ's
righteousness and that his own works would never be good enough to get him to heaven. In his own words he said 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, Phil. 3:7,8

Unfortunately a lot of people are depending on their own works to get them to heaven and it will be a very sad day when they are faced with eternity in hell if they dont realise that nothing they can do will get them into heaven but what Christ has done.
It was a good message. Sadly a lot of Churches wont preach salvation through Christ, they are more interested in numbers in the seats and telling people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Yes, it's nice to have people in Church but if they are not hearing the true Gospel message then they might as well not be there at all. The Bible says in Matthew 7:13,14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
The Gospel is not popular and never will be. Beware of churches that always mention numbers and not salvation.

Well, i am approaching the 3rd month of my pregnancy and i'm glad to say the morning sickness
is finally easing off. The baby is doing well and i already have 3 scan pictures to keep.
I had a few problems and spent 2 days in hospital but thankfully all is well again.God is good.
We are planning a day out tomorrow in Belfast and Antrim and my mom will be looking after the kids so we can have some time on our own. It will be nice. I get to do some shopping and i love shopping.
I was thinking of hosting a giveaway in the near future so keep an eye out for up and coming posts. I may pick some stuff up tomorrow for it. We'll see.
That's all for now. Take care.

I too have noticed since we relocated that church to most is a place to socialize rather than be feed by God's word.I am so glad things are well with you and your baby. I remember morning sickness so well. It was horrible with both my children!Your in my prayers. Your friend Lisa~

I couldn't agree with you more. Its too bad people waste so much of their time doing "Religious" things.

I was so sorry to hear that you had been in the hospital. So thankful that all is well. I am glad the sick time is over, hopefully. Have a great time with you new little one. Have a great day. connie from Texas
