Walking With God ebook

As Christians we know we should pray and that we need to pray more. But there’s an even better reason than Christian duty to pray. It’s that God just wants to be with us! He is just WILD about you and me!

Would you like a closer, more passionate relationship with God through daily prayer and studying His word? Spending time with Jesus at His feet like Mary of Bethany did? 

You don’t have to pray for hours every day, or get up at the crack of dawn either.  God never goes on vacation. He doesn’t have call waiting. And He doesn’t have to try to squeeze you in on His Dayplanner. God is always there for you!

This ebook also includes BONUS goodies  – two of my articles on prayer, plus Session #2 of my 7-audio, bundle set on quiet time with God.  To learn more about my ebook Walking With God for sale for only $10.99, click here.

Dreams you never thought to dream!

What big dreams are in your heart tonight? Did you know that God wants to bless you even MORE than you even dared to imagine? That is what happened to me today!

Today I had to learn to – BREATHE.   I was a LIVE speaker today on Cindy Rushton’s Ultimate Women’s Expo, A Year That Counts.  God is just SO good to me!  And I got through it without fainting, LOL! 

Cindy has been my role model for years as a wife, mom, writer, and speaker, and I was SO honored that she asked me to do this.  You can still grab a ticket to hear my session today and ALL the speakers’ session audios, PLUS get free bonus ebooks, articles, bookmarks, prayer sheets, and audios in the mommy grab bag!  The speakers have been just INCREDIBLE for this expo!  God has been all over it.  Just grab your ticket here!  http://www.bethjones.net/yearthatcounts.html

Tomorrow Felice Gerwitz will be speaking at 8 a.m. CST. I LOVE Felice. She is so awesome.  I may be there in my pj’s, drinking strong coffee (with LOTS of my Hershey’s International Delight chocolate-caramel creamer), but I do plan to be UP to have a “morning feast” with her teaching!

Hope to see you there, too!

Ready for A Year That Counts?

Are you ready for a life this year that counts? That really matters?  That draws you closer to Jesus?

Here are some practical tips to do that:

Pull away to be alone with God for an hour, a day, a weekend.  Pray and seek God’s will and direction for your life. Get quiet and still before God. He will speak to you great and mighty things.You don’t have to pray long for hours to do that.

You can pray anytime, anywhere. Your quiet time with God can be early in the morning as you’re getting ready for your day, in the afternoon when the kids are playing or reading, or at night before you go to bed. God just wants to be with you! He loves spending time with you!

Study God’s word each day, and let His Spirit speak to you. Obey Him.  Learn to repent quickly when you do mess up.  His word is a lamp to our feet. Only faith pleases the Lord. Our faith grows by hearing the Word of God, and by relying on and trusting in God.

Seek wise counsel from others.  In an abundance of counselors we wage war and have victory. Find spiritual fathers and mothers, mentors and life coaches to pour into you what they’ve learned, to speak truth, correction, advice, and guidance into your life. They will help you along life’s journey. We weren’t meant to travel life alone.  We need others.

Eliminate whatever’s unnecessary. Learn the POWER OF PRUNING.  Identify distractions, hindrances, besetting sins that keep you from an intimate relationship with God, and that cause you to veer off your course this year.

Manage your time well.  Don’t let time thieves rob your life, especially your quiet time with God.  Make the most of every minute count, so that you can do and become what God has called you to and to be.  Take control of your time so that you won’t get to the end of your life (or year) with regrets over wasted time.

Remember how important PEOPLE are, not things. Life is more than making a lot of money, having nice things, building a great business or career.  Cultivate intimate relationships with people.  Spend time with those you love – family and friends. Tell them how much you love and appreciate them every day, because we have no guarantees of tomorrow. Live as if each day were your last.

Get out of self.  Develop a servant’s heart like Jesus’ heart when He wrapped the towel around his waist and washed His disciples’ feet.  Help others in practical, needful ways.

Become a giver. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus, so we could live with Him forever. Give of your time, your money, your gifts, your heart.

Live your life intentionally and with laser focus. Discover your purpose, tap into your great potential. You have so much more inside of you than you even realize!  You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far; God has so much more in store for you this year for His glory! He has great plans for you!

Don’t forget to have fun! Life is not meant to be endured, but LIVED.  We need to laugh more and have lots of fun every day. Look at how children laugh a lot, play and are so happy. The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Become who God destined you to become.  Find out what your spiritual gifts are and begin using them for God’s glory and to further His kingdom.  Find your niche, your place in this world – and bless others with what God has deposited inside of you to minister to Him and to others.  This year, live a life that counts!

Getting rid of that extra weight

Not all of us will have the advantage this year of having Jillian with The Biggest Loser on our case to motivate us to lose that extra weight we gained this winter. But we CAN begin to develop some consistent, healthy habits such as drinking lots of water, eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, and grains, and moving our bodies much more to get fitter and healthier.  Yeah, yeah, we know the drill – we just need to DO it!

This afternoon when I went to the post office, I stopped by one of my favorite places in town to shop, What To Wear. It has the cutest clothes.  Then the reality of this winter’s gain of unwanted pounds hit me as I tried on different clothes! 

The Bible says in Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV), ” Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ”

What extra weights are you carrying around now that you need to leave at the cross with Jesus? 

• Unforgiveness?
• Anger?
• Impatience?
• Frustration?
• Confusion?
• Disappointment?
• Hurt?
• Worry?
• Pride?
• Fear?
• Envy?
• Loneliness?
• Stress?

Whatever it is, God can help you to ligthen your load and to give you rest in His presence. Jesus wants us to “pack light,” so that we will be unencumbered for the journey of life.

He told his disciples in Luke 9:1-5 (The Message), “And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. And He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city. And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

Let’s work hard this year to “pack light” for the journey, laying aside every weight that would set us back from our dreams and goals, and from obeying God.

To hear more about traveling light this year, tune in here to my podcast, Pack Light.

The beginning,the most important part of the work

The beginning is the most important part of the work.  ~ Plato

“But the Lord said to her,“My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 38:41-42, New Living Translation)

I love New Year’s Day because, like each new morning, it gives us a brand-new, fresh start. Like the white snow here in Missouri covering the ground, that seems to wash everything clean. Like Jesus’ blood that sanctifies us and makes us new creatures in Him, forgiven, redeemed, a new person with a new name that the mouth of God designates.

This coming year I have hopes and dreams in my heart. To do things I’ve never done before. To have new exciting adventures in Christ.  To be stretched beyond my comfort zone. To die more to self and to become more like Jesus.  To climb higher to new heights with hinds’ feet. To accomplish more for God, to begin to walk in a greater level of His Love, power, anointing and authority. Most of all, to draw closer to Him. Because Jesus is all that really matters! He is my EVERYTHING!

What about you? What do you desire for 2010?  What dreams are in your heart?  What goals have you set?  What do you need to begin to do – and finish – this year?

 Write these things down. Pray about them.  PASSIONATELY pursue them this coming year, and don’t stop until they are done!  Press in to God! Believe!  Step out!  This is the year for great things for you and for me! Can’t you feel it in your spirit?

Most of all, ask God what He wants for your life in 2010. What changes need to be made in your life and your family’s? What things need to be pruned to make more room for what God wants of you? 

What things do you need to let go of so you’ll have room for more growth in Christ and  to allow greater blessings to flow into your life?

Step up to all God has for you in 2010.  It’s the year for new beginnings, new hopes, new dreams, new accomplishments!

A new look for preparation of January launch

Celebrity new hairstyle

If you have noticed Tablet Of My Heart’s website appears different, it has gotten a little bit of a new look. The “search” feature is now underneath the RSS and email subscribe button at the top of the page on the right hand side. My personal mailing list sign-up for the weekly ezine has been moved down a little on the page. 

I have temporarily made some articles and other pages private to make room for some new articles and products for sale, and have added a new heading on the black navigational bar (7-audio sessions).

Kelly with FreshNets helped me with the change to my website’s search feature, so I could add the new heading (7-audio sessions) on the black navigational bar at the top of the page. The new changes are preparation for Cindy Rushton’s group coaching program class’ BIG LAUNCH in January 2010, and to make room for the new products I am working on this coming year. 

Some of the students  in Cindy’s coaching group who are EXCELLENT writers and speakers will be teaching and sharing words of encouragement on Cindy’s upcoming show in one month, so stay tuned for a VERY exciting event! You don’t want to miss this one! I can’t WAIT!

All of us students in her coaching program will be introducing our brand-new products that we began creating in her class during the four weeks in December.  I HIGHLY recommend Cindy’s coaching program. Cindy is a mighty woman of God, and she just pours out His love, wisdom, and very practical, helpful advice on making information products, based on over 20 years of great success in writing and speaking. She has another coaching program coming up soon. You can find out more at www.cindyrushton.com or email her at cindy@cindyrushton.com.

For my product in Cindy’s class, I am finishing up a 7-audio series on prayer, based on my book Walking With God, that will include freebie session questions, freebie session articles, and other goodies, in a bundle set for sale.

This audio set will include practical, useful tips for how to have that daily quiet time with God in the midst of a noisy, hectic, rushed world! So many of us wives and moms have a long to-do list every day, and we feel like we can’t squeeze in just ONE more thing.  This series will encourage you to make prayer to God a #1 priority in your life, and will give you helpful  tips for HOW to make that happen – and it does not have to take an HOUR, but in just a few minutes a day. You will see what a difference prayer can make in YOUR life and in those around you!

If you are not already signed up for my personal mailing list for my weekly ezine, sign up today so you’ll be sure to not miss any new updates or announcements about this upcoming launch in one month! 

Just go to the top of the page on the right hand side, and fill in your email address. Your email address is safe with me; I will never sell, rent, or give it away; you will NOT receive spam from me! What you WILL receive is a weekly ezine with encouragement from God’s word in mini-articles, updates on what’s new here at Tablet Of My Heart, a link to my newest podcast, and freebie articles and audios to bless you and to encourage you in your friendship with God.

I can see clearly now

Outside the window here in Florida, it is raining softly now. The words to the oldies song by Johnny Nash, I can see clearly now, are echoing in my head. I believe these words are a great prediction for the year 2010.

I am determined to remove all obstacles (the dark clouds) from my path, and to go for the dreams deep in my heart. Walking in the light of God’s will and His word (the sunshine).  Doing what God has called me to do for His glory. 

What about you? Are you excited about 2010? Do you see things clearly now? Are you ready for the promise(s) God has given you to be fulfilled this year (the rainbow)? Looking straight ahead, there’s nothing but blue skies for you and for me!

Lyrics:

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been prayin’ for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there’s nothin’ but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin’ but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Florida beach vlog: The desires of your heart

What are the desires of your heart? What dreams are there, that have been laying dormant for years?  Have they been there so long that you’ve just forgotten about them or lost hope?  Well, don’t give up!  We serve a BIG God!  And He wants to give you the desires of your heart, as you walk in obedience to Him, have faith, and trust in Him!

Here is my 3rd vlog. Our daughter Leah is videoing me on the beach in Florida. I am babysitting for our friends Pat and Kim at their house in Florida, while they are in China to pick up their newly adopted, special-needs baby girl, Hadassah Joy.  After the kids finished their chores today, we headed off for the beach – yes, the beach in December!  (Back home in Kansas City, MO, it’s still in the 40’s. There was a blizzard warning the day I flew out of there!)

After about five days of nonstop rain since Leah and I arrived here, yesterday I prayed for God to please give us some sun.  Today was 70 degrees and the sun came out! 

I LOVE the ocean, and today filled me with so much peace and happiness -just watching and hearing the ocean waves, smelling the salt in the air, looking at the blue sky with white clouds and the seagulls, and collecting pretty sea shells. Oh, it can’t get any better than this! God is so awesome!  All I could do today was stand on the beach, with my toes in the cool water, looking at the beautiful ocean, and just thanking Him with all my heart for His goodness to me!

Whatever your desires are, know that God hears your prayers and He is quick to answer them.
