Names of God (a series)
Almighty God
God first revealed this name to Abram, in Genesis 17:1. The original Hebrew name for Almighty God is El Shaday. And it means; almighty, powerful, and impregnable.
Impregnable is the word that excites me! The Webster's dictionary definition is; not able to be captured. Firm.
Our God is AWESOME! We are serving a God that NO FOE can capture, defeat, or overthrow. That little worm satan tried, and God kicked him to the curb! We have a God that can NOT be conquered. Period.
God has given us AUTHORITY over the enemy. The enemy can only defeat us if we let him. James 4:7 says, Be subject to God. Resist the devil, stand firm against him, and he will flee from you. It didn't say he might flee...it said he WILL FLEE! The enemy has no choice, because God's Word says so, and God's Word is the FINAL authority.
God cannot be defeated or outwitted. He is IMPREGNABLE! And He's our Daddy!! WHOO HOO! And through Him, we can overcome ANYTHING that worm throws at us!!
Let's Pray;
Daddy God, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I just love You and am completely and totally in awe of You. I am honored that You love me so much. You are My God. You are God Almighty, El Shaday. Praise, Glory, and Honor be to your Name, FOREVER! In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
In His Love and Service,
Lara

Avoiding The Morning Rush
It’s stressful isn’t it? Having to get all those things ready, trying not to forget anything, not to mention bickering kids, tantrums about what to wear or the sleepy head who doesn’t want to wake up. No, the morning rush isn’t any fun but luckily there are a few things you can do to bring peace back into your family’s morning routine.
Prepare Ahead – Sounds simple enough but did you know you could actually leave just about everything ready for the next day? It might take a few extra minutes out of your evening but you’ll be much faster if you prepare everything once the kids are asleep rather than rushing in the morning.
Lay out the kids clothes for the next day - Include things like hair clips, socks and shoes. And don’t forget to lay out your clothes too.
Leave breakfast ready (or nearly ready) - Depending on what you have for breakfast you can often pre-prepare a lot of it. If you have pancakes make the batter the night before and stick it in the fridge. If you have cereal and toast, leave the cereal out, bowls, spoons and bread. You can even set the table to save time.
Pre-Pack Lunch Boxes - If your kids take a packed lunch to school prepare it the night before. Most things like sandwiches will be fine left in the fridge overnight.
Pack Their School Bags – Look through their bags and make sure there aren’t any last minute dates or events you’ve overlooked. Pack all their books and things in their bags and leave everything by the front door.
Get The Kids Involved – The responsibility of getting the kids to school shouldn’t completely lie on your shoulders. As soon as children are old enough to help out then they should. Even the youngest of kids can help.
Make a Chart – If your kids (like most kids) are forgetful, make a chart for each one which explains in order all the things they need to do in the morning. You can draw pictures for the really young ones and write a description for the older ones. For example, you can have a picture of a toothbrush, then the school clothes, hair brush, etc.
Talk to your kids about the list beforehand and explain it to them. Then stick it up in a prominent place in their rooms and the next time they ask you “mom, what do I do know?” tell them to go look at their list. This is a great way of getting kids a little more involved and to start teaching them responsibility.
By preparing ahead you can’t avoid all of your family’s morning stresses but it will certainly help a lot, and who knows you may even have time for that extra cup of coffee.
