Five Minute Fridays

Finish

Posted on July 26, 2014

Five Minute Friday- Lisa-Jo Baker started this in 2011. Rules write for five minutes, share, read other blogs and encourage one another. I love what she started and she is now going to entrust this writing group to Kate. She calls Kate her word sister. I love Lisa-Jo, she has done much for my writing and I am sure as the baton is passed to Kate, she will continue with the same excellence. Lisa-Jo wrote a book called Surprised by Motherhood. Her adventure as a mother, her sharing of her family encourages me to share my story and to write whether it be for five minutes or five blog posts. Kate, I hope to become a word sister to many in my blog.

Here are my five minutes.

I love acrostics and the word today is FINISH.

F-Free. I am free in Christ. Free from worry, self-doubt, incriminating thoughts. Galatians 5:1 I can stand with God and feel his freedom.
I-Image. I am made in His image. Psalm 139:14 says I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Genesis 1:27 says we were all made in the image of God.
N-Need. I love a song I learned as a child. “I need thee oh I need thee, every hour I need thee, most blessed Lord my Savior, I come to thee” The best part of needing Jesus is that He is sufficient to meet my needs. Philippians 4:19
I-Immeasurably. I know that God is able to do immeasurably more than I can imagine. Ephesians 3:20
S-Sanctified. I am sanctified in Jesus because of his truth. John 17:17
H-Hope. I have hope because of the love Jesus lavished on me. His hope purifies me. I John 3:1-4

The ultimate finish will be to hear, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

I am loved by God, the alpha, the omega, the beginning, the end. According to the Bible, I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am a saint who sometimes sins. I believe that Jesus is God's son and that He died on the cross to give me eternal life. I am married to my high school sweet heart Doug. I have been blessed by two adult sons Randy and Dale, who are married and I have six grandchildren Christian, Seth, Ethan, Hunter, Sabrina and Emerson. I became a nurse as an adult. I have had an amazing career and give all the glory to God.

    Hello, fellow Five Minute Friday-er! I appreciate how your post was grounded in scripture, and especially identified with the hymn “I Need The Every Hour”–one of my favorites as well and one that speaks deeply to my heart. Blessings to you!

    Diana – this is brilliant! I am going to have to borrow this idea for a future post. Would’ve come in handy today as I began without a single thought in my head! And such perfect scripture to use to illustrate what we are all striving for…”Well done, good and faithful servant.” Beautiful!
