Vintage Gwen Chapel-Drop Your Load!

I love when God gives me a 'nugget' from an everyday, ordinary moment.

This moment might not qualify as ordinary though!

This moment happened a couple of weeks ago when I was picking Lil' Hunkie up from school.  There's a grandpa who brings and picks up his granddaughter. I'm assuming he is grandpa since he sure looks like it. I've observed them before and let me just say....she is quite ornery!

Grandpa was sitting on a bench closest to the door. Once granddaughter made it out the door, he stood up and took a couple steps toward her and when they met, she immediately dropped her back pack at his feet and proceeded to walk away. He picked it up and called after her, almost having to chase after her, which I've seen him do before. 

Now I won't lie, my first thought was she might need a spankin'!

But then God dropped the 'nugget'.

It didn't even take her a second that she was in her caretaker's presence that she dropped her load and walked away, knowing that grandpa would take care of that load! How long do we wait when we are in the Presence of God to drop and walk away from all our burdens? How often do we simply walk away from our load? She did not look back!! She cared not of that back pack!!

The Bible says....

"Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." Psalm 55:22 NASB

Man, I want to be so confident in my Caretaker that I let Him take care of my load without looking back! How about you? And I love that by casting our load we are really exchanging it for sustainment and unshakenness! Those might be new words!

Well, here's to new words!

Be blessed lovelies!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Bless The Lord, Oh My Sword

I love to sing. And that love has been passed to Lil' Hunkie.  I love that it has.  Sometimes he'll just burst out singing songs they do in Children's Church or songs we've done in choir or the worship team.  Sometimes he doesn't quite get the words right. A few weeks ago I caught him doing just that. It was the Matt Redman song 10,000 Reasons and there's a line that says "bless the Lord oh my soul". Well, Lil' Hunkie was singing "bless the Lord oh my sword" and I, without thinking, corrected him, to no avail. But then I did start to think about it.  In Ephesians 6:17, the Bible says that we are to have a sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  Meaning, when we speak the Word of God it's like a sword....powerful, confident, strong. Those are the kind of words that should be coming out of our mouth.  And with those words we bless the Lord! So when Lil' Hunkie sings "bless the Lord oh my sword" he's really saying "my words which are powerful like a sword will bless the Lord at all times!"  What a revelation out of a babe! So from now on, I'll just smile and join him in blessing the Lord with our swords.

Vintage Gwen Chapel-A Golden Nugget of Wisdom

Psalm 18:30

 As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord ’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

Lil' Hunkie has been in school for about a month and a half now. And let me just tell you....the morning routine hasn't really smoothed out just yet. There's still whining, etc going on! I realize that I'm in for the long haul on that!

One bright sunny morning while driving to school, into the sun mind you, more whining came, this time that the sun was in his eyes. Well guess what he had in his backpack? Yep, sunglasses.

Whine, whine, whine!

And then came a nugget of wisdom from momma. 

After reminding him he had sunglasses in his bag he kept whining. 

Finally I said...

"Don't complain when you have the solution in your hand."

Golden I tell ya, golden!!

Alright, it was really a nugget from God.

Because at that moment God reminded me that I too, have the solution to the things I whine about in my hand. It's called the Word of God, it's Him. 

He is all we need in every situation.  

Amen? Amen!

Be blessed lovelies!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-She Shares Truth

Confession time....

I've been working more and I have yet to figure out a new routine! And I tend to be a night owl and it's so hard to break that habit! My husband works 2 nights out of the week and a long time ago when he'd be at work I'd just stay up.  So bad I know! Lil' Hunkie will be starting Pre K in August so I'm gonna have to figure out a new routine pretty quick!  So I've been doing my studying at night and have been loving the She Reads Truth study on Ruth. Today is a She Shares Truth day, I missed the last one and wanted to join in this one since I've been loving the study! 

And what I'm loving most is, the book of Ruth is not just about Ruth. It's so much about Naomi too!

God didn't leave her out, He wanted to redeem her too!

Naomi took a look at her circumstances and renamed herself.  What she was looking at was what she no longer had, not what was in front of her which was a daughter in law so devoted to her that she'd die the same place as her mother in law. 

I've done the same as Naomi.  In every instance I was focused on what I didn't have.

Being single it was a struggle keeping my focus on God and not my singleness, having a miscarriage I wanted to focus on the loss instead of how big God was, and in motherhood I tend to let my failures keep me from the bigger picture, that I am a good mom regardless.  

And in every one of those circumstances I renamed myself....Jennifer the failure. 

But God knew my heart and just like He knew Naomi's heart...that part that still believed God is God no matter what....and He brought forth "treasures hidden in the darkness." (Isaiah 45:3)

While I was single I helped start my church's youth mission trip and spent most of my 20s going on that trip.  That trip still goes on today! I actually get the team ready!

I didn't focus long on my miscarriage loss.  God directed me to name our baby and I have testified about that at church.  I then had someone come to me and tell me that she named her baby too and finally after 20 years she had peace. 20 years!

And motherhood, well I'm still a work in progress and that treasure is still being formed! But hearing "I love you momma", "I sure did miss you momma", "You're the best mom ever!" definitely keeps me thinking I"m Jennifer the good mom instead of Jennifer the failure mom. 

To God, I am and will always be Jennifer My daughter, My servant.

And knowing that helps me keep my focus where it should be, that God is my Redeemer no matter what. 

Happy Weekend lovelies! 

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Lessons from Leviticus

Last month I took a 31 Day Scripture Challenge given by Kristin Schmucker on Instagram. 

The purpose was to read scripture everyday for 31 days straight and share on Instagram.  I was wanting to add more to the She Reads Truth studying I do and so took the challenge but got started a couple of days late.  Geez but at the same time no sweat! So I felt like God wanted me to read Titus. I had no idea SRT would be going through it this month! It's been great seeing others perspective on such a rich but short book!

So then I simply chose a book by how many chapters it had so I could read a chapter a day to finish out the month. Not knowing what I was getting myself into I chose the book of Leviticus.

Uh huh, I did. And I'm so glad I did! Here's why....

1. Leviticus starts out by God laying out how to do sacrifices and what they all mean.  Man I was loving it! Well except for there's blood everywhere. And so I have a deeper appreciate of what Jesus did for me.  Without His perfect blood I couldn't be washed clean and made whole.

2.  I have a new appreciation for God's Word.  Now I didn't complete the challenge reading a chapter a day straight. I work part time and have an almost pre-K guy at home. So sometimes I didn't read my chapter, in particular the days I worked....Monday and  Thursday. So I'd read what I needed to on the other days. And at the end of May I decided to start working more so I can try and help with the grocery bill, so now I'm reading at night sometimes and really trying to read some everyday. But if I don't it's OK.  I simply catch up.  Even with She Reads Truth.  I'm loving just reading the Word and I've struggled with that.

3.  And here's the best part of reading Leviticus.....
In my opinion, the bottom line of Leviticus is God instructing His people to be holy. He really, really wants a holy people.  Yes the Law He set in place dealt a lot with health and hygiene. I shared one day during the challenge on Instagram that God didn't want a people who acted like or looked like Egyptians. Nor did he want a people who acted like or looked like Canaanites.  He wanted them to look like and act like Him.  And you know I never realized that the land of Canaan was so bad, it was a pagan nation!! But it also flowed with milk and honey! And God wanted His people to enjoy that milk and honey but just in a way that was pleasing to Him.  Unfortunately, His people couldn't ever follow the Law and so that's when Jesus came and made the ultimate sacrifice once and for all.
And so that got me to thinking...what part of the Law do we not follow anymore because of Jesus?  And what part do we follow?
Anytime I have deep bible questions like that I turn to the best guy I know...my dad.
So after eating Memorial Day cookout with him I sat down at his dining room table and asked those questions.   And I added that I felt the Law was heavy...I actually felt that about half way through.
His answer could be consider that of someone who is 'old fashioned'.
Why is it heavy? All of God's Word is Law. From beginning to end.
Well I couldn't argue that.
So then he asked me what did Jesus say?
Jesus said to love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.
So when you do that, truly do that, then the part of the Law that you need to live is lived.
We agreed. We also agreed that to this very day God still wants His people to be holy.
Then he told me that I could only do and believe what I thought the bible said.  And I said but I do and believe like you do! And his response was well maybe I didn't teach you right.
And then the tears started down my cheeks.
And I responded with a resounding no you did teach me right.   He taught me the Word! And to love it, and to love God with my whole heart.
And at that very moment, because on a whim I decided to read one of the hardest books of the bible to read, I was very proud to be my father's daughter.
Amazing.
 Amazing things happen because of the Word.  
Thank you Lord.

Let me encourage you...don't shy away from the part of the bible you think is hard to read.  Because it's the Word and it's alive, I promise there's a nugget or two or three in there just for you.  I used my Life Application Study Bible and read the commentary footnotes after every chapter and it really helped to comprehend what I read. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The more you know the Word the more you know God.  And I guarantee God's loving you digging deeper!

Have a great week lovelies!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Nehemiah

Well I've been a bad blogger lately! May has been so busy, can you tell?

I've got a few crafts I'd like to squeeze in and a few recipes I've wanted to share.....

We'll see how I do since tomorrow May is behind us!

Just finished a She Reads Truth study on Nehemiah and wanted to link up for She Shares Truth!

This study was great timing as my church has started a building project! We are building a new 400 seat (wowza!) sanctuary! I was able to pass along a few encouraging quotes to our leaders.

So for the She Shares assignment I'm going to answer a few questions....

Why does the book of Nehemiah end the way it does?

I think the ending is a great reminder....sometimes we need a Nehemiah in our lives.  What God found in Nehemiah was a focused, get the job, no one's going to stop me attitude.  Don't we all need that type of person in our lives? A positive influence who will help us to the finish line.

But. 

Nehemaih is awesome!

 But he's not Jesus.  

The children of Israel were in a pattern and the only person to get them out of that pattern is Jesus.

It's always Jesus!

What does God want us to see here about Himself and the Church?

I think God doesn't want us to forget what can happen when we join together and work towards a common goal. There's a lot of work to be done for the Kingdom.  There's no time to not be His holy people. There's no time to give the enemy place.  There's not time to be a lazy Christian and not do what you know is right. Jesus has come and is coming again soon!

Loved going through Nehemiah! I also joined Kristin Schmucker's 31 Day Scripture challenge and finished the book of Leviticus today! I will be sharing what I gleaned from that book soon!

Have a happy weekend lovelies!!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-30 Words Book Review

{Instagrammed the day I started 30 Words!}

I have another book review today! 

Some how or another I stumbled upon Jarrid Wilson and his 30 Words Book on Instagram. More than likely it was because I was looking through the She Reads Truth hashtag. Yes I am a hashtag creeper! 

What else is a hashtag for? 

30 Words is a devotion that takes a word about God and our relationship with Him and studies it out for a day.  So there's 30 different words, scriptures and Jarrid's take on the daily word. I loved this concept.  It's concise. I like devotions as opposed to 'self help' Christian books....I know they are good for you but it's hard for me to stay with it and finish it out.  With 30 Words, because Jarrid shared his insights, I kinda felt like I was reading one of those 'self helps'. I'm ready for another 30 Words actually!  

Here's one of my favorite quotes.....

 "Satan will try and distract you the second God's truth starts to attract you."-Jarrid Wilson

So if  you are in the market for a new devotion I highly recommend this one! I bought the ebook because I didn't want to wait for it to come in the mail!

And if you're in the market to follow inspiring people then follow Jarrid. Even though he is very much geared towards ministering to his generation...which I think is outstanding and so very much needed....he still is a minister and is addressing some tough issues. 

Find his book here and find him here.

Happy Saturday!!!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Not That Into You

A couple weeks ago I had the privilege of being youth minister to our teens.  Our youth pastors use some awesome curriculum and I kicked off a series themed Not That Into You.  Basically sometimes in our walk with God there's times that we are so into God.  Sometimes not at all.  And sometimes we're in the middle.  By the end of establishing the differences of the three there was just one question to ask.  

Which one are you because it's time to own where you're at.  Man did that ever hit me square in the face!  So I decided to be bold.  I put tape faces on the floor...an into God face and a not that into God face and left the middle blank.  I stepped in the middle and told the teens I wanted to be honest and own where I'm at with God.  Then I asked them to be bold and asked them to come to the front and stand where they were at.  Honestly I was expecting a little bit of a spread, some in each section.  To my surprise they all joined me in the middle.  I had to fight the tears so I could pray!

Why was I surprised? Because they truly listened and got the lesson.  Because we all could work on our relationship with God and being in the middle told me that they had a relationship established but it just needs work.  Because God moved.  

This coming Wednesday is the final lesson.  I'm excited to see how it ends!

How about you? Where are you at with God?

I encourage you to not be discouraged if it's not perfect.  I won't ever be perfect.  But rather own where your at and move forward. Big, tiny, petite, large...any shape...just move forward.  

Psalm 24:5 NLT

"They will receive the Lord's blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior."

Be blessed!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Silent Night or Party Night?

via

It's a busy weekend for us as I'm sure it is for all of you too.  We are having our 'special' Christmas service at church tomorrow with just special music.  Our choir will be doing some songs and then we have an awesome mom/daughter duo who will be singing "A Baby Changes Everything"...lovely song.  And then there's us.  Myself, my sister and my husband.  Hunkie insisted that Silent Night must be done.  

It's the best Christmas song ever according to him.  ☺

While practicing I had a thought come to me....was it really a Silent Night?

Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born.

Silent night, holy night!

Son of God love's pure light.

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Yes there was singing in heaven but why wouldn't there be partying going on too? They knew that the hope of the world was born and that the earth would never be the same again.  So I think, just as we celebrate a baby's birth, so did heaven. But on earth it was more like the song...the earth was in awe, as it should be, that our Savior had arrived.  I know I was in awe the moment I set eyes on Lil' Hunkie.  He was beautiful and peaceful.  As I'm positive baby Jesus was.  

So yes it was a Silent Night on earth but Party Night in heaven.  

I'm thankful I had this thought because among all my partying this weekend I'm going to make it a point to stop and be in awe of the birth of the person who saved me.  

Happy Weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-One More Reason God Is Good To Me!

Photo courtesy of Heart-Fairytale

♥

Something wonderful happened in my life this past week and God deserves some glory!

One of my best friends from junior college found me on Facebook!  We had done minimal keeping in touch after junior college and she had been searching for me since 2007! 

I was thrilled to get her friend request and later in the week we spoke on the phone and it was so good to hear not only her voice but her signature laugh as well!

I will not ever forget our conversation.  I was paid the highest compliment a Christian could ever receive. 

See during college my friend was a little more wild then I was....meaning she drank and I didn't.  But she was one of the few friends I had made....so she did her thing and I, well I just hung out!

About 6 years ago she and her husband rededicated their lives to Christ and she said she immediately thought of me and how proud I would be of her.

I so am.

She had remembered me encouraging her.  Really? I did?

She thanked me for loving her even while she was sinning.

 Romans 5:8 Amplified Bible
"But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us."

To be told that I loved like God, like Christ has commanded us was extremely moving.

But you know what? The day before I had not acted that way. At.All.

And so God was lovingly reminding me that I can do it....love when the person doesn't deserve it. 

 For that's what God extends to us. 

So thanks dear friend for your compliments...they were really tools God used to set me straight!

And that's one more reason God is so good to me.

Have a great weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Prayers That Avail Much

Do you always know how to pray?

It can be challenging at times especially when a request can be vague. 

But as long as we pray the Word then the challenge is conquered.

I recently pulled out my copy of Prayers That Avail Much by Germaine Copeland.  I have some prayers that I've been praying over someone and wanted to add one from this book.  If you're still pondering my question then please get this book!  It has some terrific prayers, all scripture based and is a perfect place to start!

And I'm a firm believer that God hears even the smallest prayer....so just do what you know how till you've learned more!

Have a Happy Weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Lost and Found Sheep

Photo courtesy of Allegan Church

I recently read a quote regarding the parable of The Lost Sheep that got me to thinking.

The parable is about a shepherd who leaves 99 sheep to go in search of one lost sheep. 

"In this parable, Jesus never goes back to the ninety-nine sheep.  The ninety-nine sheep are a set-up.  Jesus has divided the flock into one sheep and ninety-nine sheep....I think the real meaning of the one and the ninety-nine is that the one lost sheep is the whole human race as it really is.  And the ninety-nine "found" sheep who never get lost are the whole human race as we think we are." 

 - Robert Farrar Capon 

But what if the 99 represent saved sheep?  Those of us who are Christians.  He left us because we are now representatives of Christ and should be following in His path in search for the lost sheep.

This is one reason I love the Word of God.  It is truly alive....when you can read the same passage and get different revelations....it truly is amazing to me!

Let's be in prayer together today for the lost sheep.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Patriotic Quotes

What better way to celebrate Independence Day then with some patriotic quotes!

I'm so thankful not only for my freedom but also for my freedom in Christ!

I'm proud to be an American and to have a country with a Godly heritage...just wish we'd be better at staying true to that Godly heritage!

And if you're not praying for our President and leaders then I encourage you to do so!

1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV

" I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.  Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. "
*

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be    because we destroyed ourselves."

"I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go."

Vintage Gwen Chapel-A Conversation with Dada

via

♥

A couple months ago I was off in another part of the house doing something and my boys (Hunkie and Lil' Hunkie) were in the living room just hangin' out.  When I came back Hunkie kinda had a smile on his face and began telling me of his 'first' conversation with Lil' Hunkie.  Hunkie said that he had called out our son's name and he immediately started his gibberish.  But Lil' Hunkie made it a sentence.

"Gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, Dada!" And my husband actually said "it's like he was talking to me!"  And I could tell how happy this made my husband!

Then I started thinking about God and how much joy it must bring Him when we take the time to have a conversation with Him. God is always speaking....He's waiting for us to activate our relationship with Him and have a constant conversation going. 

I would like to encourage you this Father's Day to take the opportunity to tell your father what he means to you or share something you had admired of him....activate a conversation.  I guarantee it'd be so much greater than any tangible gift. 

The past year hasn't been the greatest for my mother health wise.  But what I have witnessed through all that rough stuff is a man devoted to the woman he still loves.  I have literally seen 'for better, for worse' lived out in front of my eyes.

Thank you, Daddy!

These words will accompany his "You're a Peach" jar of preserves! ☺

May God Bless your Father!

Happy Weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Words of Encouragement

With this past week's weather, I was reminded of something.  We are truly in the last days.  The year isn't even half over and look how much natural disaster there has been.  Perhaps it's God's first creation crying out to be rescued? It makes you think for sure.

So now, more than anything, it is so imperative to encourage one another, to love another.  Here's some words I'm thankful to have read this week:

"Every loss is temporary.  Every victory is eternal." -Bill Johnson, Pastor of Bethel Church

♥

"When I walk into the thick of trouble,
      keep me alive in the angry turmoil.
   With one hand
      strike my foes,
   With your other hand
      save me.
   Finish what you started in me, God.
      Your love is eternal—don't quit on me now. " Psalm 138:7-8

Posted on Facebook by my friend, Jessica.

And here are some scriptures from my Bible Promise Book for Women.:

"My body and my  heart may grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart and all I need forever."

Psalm 73:26

"Our hope comes from God.  May He fill you with joy and peace because of your trust in Him.  May your hope grow stronger by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 15:13

Praying for encouragement, strength, joy and peace for you today.

Have a great weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Inspired by C.S. Lewis Quote

"In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him.  It did not."  C.S. Lewis

via

These words have got me thinking about a couple of things.

♦ We've been talking about servant hood at my church.  Jesus was the ultimate servant and by going to the cross finalized that.  Being a Christian means being a servant.  You can pray against it all you want, the need for servant hood will never go away.

♦ Most of the time we don't see a trial coming our way.  Jesus faced His head on and yet He prayed for it to pass.  He was human too.  And the fact that He prayed for it to pass, makes Him relatable. When He was done praying and they showed up to take Him away, He could of said "Let's just go straight to the cross."  But, I believe, it was necessary, among other things, for the crowd to choose who they wanted crucified.  See I think it brought to life this verse.....

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses.  Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make."

Deuteronomy 30:19a

The crowd chose a murderer-death. 

But. God. Wasn't. Finished!

Jesus had to die and be resurrected to redeem all those people who chose Barabbas.

And to redeem the rest of us!! Praise the Lord!!

Think about C.S. Lewis's words.....let them minister to you....they did me. ☺

Have a great weekend!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-Our Cornerstone

I've mentioned in an older post about going through the Praying the Names of Jesus devotion right now.  Today's post is inspired by this past week's name...Cornerstone or Capstone. 

Photo courtesy of eos-chaos.com

The author gives a little bit of history about cornerstones that I'd never heard about and it got me to thinking.

"The royal name was often inscribed on the cornerstone and among the ancient Canaanites before the of time Joshua, the laying of the foundation stone was often accompanied by human sacrifice.  Tragically a number of skeletons, especially those of small babies in earthen jars, have been found at various sites."

Yes tragic, don't really want to think about it!  What I did think was when we accept Christ as our cornerstone; our foundation, shouldn't we sacrifice our life?  Lay it down and take up Christ's?  Mark 8:34 -35 NLT "..."If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.  If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it.  But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it."

Was this tradition a foretelling of Jesus' words?

Or how about this thought...yes we all start as 'baby' Christians, but God wants us to be warrior Christians.  And to be a warrior Christian you need to be out of diapers and off milk...you need to realize who your Cornerstone is and sacrifice being a 'baby' Christian and start building on that Cornerstone!

I think God was trying to remind me who He is and who I am in Him.

So thankful for the reminder today!

Have a blessed weekend!!
