My Beyond Life

Have you heard the story about the grandpa who was asleep in his recliner, and his grandchildren put some stinky cheese on his lip? He woke up and walked around the house saying, "the living room stinks, the kitchen stinks, the bedroom stinks,  why does the whole house stink." His grandchildren looked up at him and said, "no, grandpa, the house doesn't stink; you stink." Today, Mrs. Amy will discuss how when we keep our decomposing skeletons of sin, regrets, or bitterness hidden and don't give them a proper burial, it can give us a twisted perspective on life. We may seem like life stinks, but in reality, it's us that stinks because we keep things hidden and don't give them proper burials.

Have you ever heard the saying, "and that was only the beginning?". Not only did Mary bear the pressure of carrying the Messiah as a young teenager, she then had to go home and face judgment and accusations from her friends, family, and Joseph.  Sometimes it seems like life goes from bad to worse, and we wonder how we're going to make it through. Today Mrs. Amy will discuss how even when our situation goes from hard to harder, we can trust God to walk with us every step of the way and reveal his purpose and plan to us in due time. 

Today Mrs. Amy will discuss how God's will can lead us to places out of our comfort zone. Will we continue on the familiar path of our normal or follow God's will into the unknown? 

Today Mrs. Amy will be discussing journeying on life's roadmap full of the curves and potholes of our emotions.  

Today Mrs. Amy will discuss how Job navigated his emotions righteously even throughout all of the pain he endured. 

We don't understand why good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. We can't see what God has been doing behind the scenes and that God has already prepared our way. In this episode Mrs. Amy discusses how we need to let God be God and trust in Him to show us the way.

Continuing with the discussion on Job's friends from the previous episode, Mrs. Amy talks about how quick we are to answer before we listen. When a friend comes to us with problems, with our best intentions we try to fix everything for them. However, sometimes all we need to do is be present. We don't always need to have an answer, we just need us to listen.

In this episode, Mrs. Amy discusses Job's friends. Instead of caring for Job during this difficult time in his life, they accused him. While we are quick to attack Job's friends, we need to look at our life and see how we are doing as a friend. Are we confronting those who are dealing with hard situations, or are we comforting them?
