                          New International Version

                          At the Home of Martha and Mary

                          38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

                          41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

                          Hello there! I Am Rainna and I welcome you to reflect with me!

                              • Today is January 24th 2021 and I have titled it:

                                When Expectations & Emotions pee on your parade!

                                In this entry I wanted to talk to you about the dangers of being emotionally invested in something. I have found , especially as a Christian, that this can be even more of a NO NO because it borders on Idolatry depending on the amount of your investment.

                                When we find ourselves putting our identity into our latest fandom and leaving God at the Door, we are indeed showing where all of our time, attention, and value is placed and it is no longer Christ we are following but something made of the world, for the world, and for the flesh...Which is all Satan can give you. This Junk of the world. Our attention is currency. What are you spending your currency on?

                                • I found a great quote about Idolatry on Bible Reasons.com. “Anything that takes the place of God in your life is idolatry. Christ reigns over all and until you realize that you will be running around searching for things that will never complete you.”
                                • There is a quote by John Calvin that covers this scenario perfectly imo, ““For what is idolatry if not this: to worship the gifts in place of the Giver himself?” John Calvin.”
                                • In Ecclesiastes 1:8 it states “Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.
                                • This can be easily avoided.

                                  First, place no expectations.

                                  Stop expecting an outcome and you won't feel let down. 

                                  Expectations are like the cousins of lies imo. Expectations are a gamble since they are based on an outcome that hasn't come to fruition. 

                                  See how silly humans are? We place our own outcomes on stuff, then throw temper tantrums when it doesn't go our way. How does that even make sense? 

                                  The second thing we need to do is not put all of our emotions in our expectation basket.

                                          • "Confirmation bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. When people would like a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking. This error leads the individual to stop gathering information when the evidence gathered so far confirms the views or prejudices one would like to be true."

                                                    https://www.amazon.com/Come-Emmanuel-Advent-Study/dp/1087715717

                                                    Scripture:

                                                    Genesis 3:1-7

                                                    The Fall

                                                    https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:1-7&version=NIV

                                                    In this Emanuel Bible Study, we are asked this Question:

                                                    “Have you ever paused to consider what a mercy it is that God still invites us into his presence, even though we are sinners?”

                                                    God loves us unconditionally.

                                                    We do not have to clean ourselves up to follow Jesus, he will get into our messy lives and work with us on his timing. He will help us clean up our mess. He is really the only one who can do it the right way imo. A change of the heart definitely outlasts a changing of the mind from my personal experience.

                                                    The fact that God loves us so much that he maintains an invitation to us to be with him for eternity shows us that even in our broken state he loves us. That his love for us is forever. He wants to have a relationship with us just as he did with Adam and Eve in the Garden. He didnt have to spend time with them in the Garden, but he made time for them. Even after they went against his orders, and ate from the tree of good and evil, he could have killed them ont he spot, but he didn't. He loved them enough to show them mercy. If you every catch yourself not feeling close to God , just remember that he has an open door policy. You don't have to be dressed fancy, talk fancy, or attend a bible college to be close to God. God created humans before an of that existed. His intent is to have a genuine relationship with us. If he meant to abandon us, he would never have sent Jesus to be born and later die for all of our sins. The death of Jesus on the cross , paying our sin debt, was a huge invitation.

                                                    John 3:16

                                                    New International Version

                                                    16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

                                                    Entry:
                                                    Today we got a chance to head outside and tackle some yard work before the snow hits later this week.
                                                    We have been under clouds and rain for about a week and have definitely been embracing the hermit lifestyle which is easy to do when everyone and everything is still under the Rona shutdown to various degrees.
                                                    I started with sweeping off the front porch and then went to rake the leaves up from the front sidewalk.
                                                    While I was making my way down the walk toward the driveway, I stepped into a hole in our yard and said to my family, “ Woah! Glad I didn't twist my ankle! Look at this hole!
                                                    My husband scoffed and said, watch out for that one and like 3 more in the yard! Our son has made holes in the yard and I have stepped in at least three of them!
                                                    I looked at my 7 year old son and said, well! I guess its time for you to finish your job! Time to go fill up a bucket with dirt from our woods and fill in these holes before someone gets hurt.
                                                    And just as soon as that sentence left my mouth , it hit me. The bible verse
                                                    Philippians 1:6
                                                    English Standard Version
                                                    6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
                                                    Each of us may feel incomplete, like little empty holes from time to time, but we must not forget that we are a work in progress! God has began a great work in each of us and he will complete it! He will never leave us feeling empty. The enemy may talk smack to you making you feel incomplete but you must trust that our heavenly Father knows what's best for us and is working on us and with us according to his plan and his timing. He loves us and will never leave us. He will complete us! He will fill up our God shaped hole!
                                                    God Bless you and have a great day!
                                                    Rainna Out!
