What DID Jesus Do?

What would Jesus Do.

I'm sure we've heard this cliche specially among Christian circles. It sounds great! This popular saying sprouted from the book In His Steps. It's not a bad book it does have a good point but something about this saying has bothered me and I never really could figure out what. Recently the thought came to my mind during a Bible study, maybe it's the wrong question. By asking this question to ourselves we will rarely get a good answer, I know it's happened that way many times. I DON'T know what Jesus would do when, lets say, faced with a purchase predicament. The daily decisions we have to make in this culture is very different then the daily decisions Jesus faced. Also as a woman, wife and mother, my life very different then a man who has no home, wife and children and is in a full time ministry. Not even to mention He was fully God.  By asking "What Would Jesus Do?" we get vague answers for our day to day tasks, BUT there is something Jesus DID that we ourselves should be doing every day. Jesus lived to please God the Father, everything He did was approved by God.
So maybe the better question to ask ourselves is, " Is this pleasing to God?" This question takes us away from cultural boundaries and brings us to our here and now.

Asking myself " Is this pleasing to God?" the pass few days has opened my eyes to HOW awful a few things I knew that aren't't great about myself and I always fall into, were in God's eyes. It's a steady reminder that my life ( yes, even the day to day chores), can be an act of worship to God. 

Is your life pleasing to God?

Rambling Thoughts

I haven't really had a good life and mind rambling on here lately. I'm sitting on my compfy bed with Joshua tucked in his bed ( though I hear him gargling...) and my dear hubby is downstairs getting me a bowl of ice cream in fact it's quite peaceful now. Though lately I feel lately like I have thousands of things I have to do but I can't quite remember any of them, it's quite a horrible feeling. I blame pregnancy. By the time I go to write what I'm suppose to do down, I either forget what I was going to write or I get distracted by remembering another thing I was suppose to do. Lets hope this changes once the baby comes.

I'm looking forward to this coming weekend! Hubby and I will enjoy a childless getaway to Erie before it's impossible to do during a year of breastfeeding after the baby comes. I expect to enjoy not doing much because Erie is a nice relaxing place to go. :) I wonder if the have a Starbucks or Steak and Shake....

I'll be having a Mid-Wife appointment tomorrow ( which is one of those SMALL things I forgot about till they called me and reminded me today.). Maybe the mid-wife can tell or give my a good guess what Brianna likes sticking out to cause my stomach look like an egg. Yes, my stomach is that white and yes it really does look like the pointy side of the egg. :)

My ice cream is here! Ciao!
