"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

Thursdays Before the Throne

We find our release from our strongholds by spending time in the Word of God, the Bible.

As we spend time in His Word, may this be our prayer,

The Believer’s Prayer-A. P. Gibbs

Open Thou mine eyes, Lord, that I may behold,
In Thy Word rich treasures , better far than gold;
Let me know my need , Lord, and Thy glories see,
Grow in grace & knowledge, more & more like Thee!

Open Thou mine ears, Lord, let me hear Thy voice,
And w/ swift obedience, cause Thee to rejoice,
Midst this world’s confusion, speak, oh, Lord to me.
Guide me by Thy counsel, let me follow Thee!

Open Thou my lips, Lord, let me speak for Thee,
Tell of Thy salvation bought on Calvary;
May I boldly witness to Thy saving grace,
Win some souls for Thee, Lord, ere I see Thy face!

Open Thou my heart, Lord, make it now Thy throne,
Teach me what it meaneth, “Ye are not your own.”
Live thy life through me, Lord, Thy grace magnify,
And in this my body, Thyself glorify!
