The devil loves chaos, confusion, disorder, a mess in your life…
There are times where you feel nothing is in control in your life, even to the point that you haven’t put your clothes away from the laundry or your kitchen is in a shambles.
That devil enjoys to see you in a disarray. It pleases him…

Get Back to The Book
April 1, 2009 by KimberlyE · Leave a Comment
There are so many different Christian books out there that emphasize different topics of the Bible or of life in general.
Many, many of them are extremely good and powerful too!
However, there is no book out there that could replace The Book – The Bible!
The Bible is where you need to go to get your answers…they’re all in there.
Be sure not to replace other Christian literature and not get into your Bible often! If you forget the Bible, you’re losing your foundation.
If you want to learn to study the Bible better, there are many guides out there to help you accomplish this goal…Great stuff!
In fact, I’ve found one where you can Learn Forty Bible Study Methods!
Wow…That’s more than any other Bible study guide out there…
That could be really helpful and obviously, there would be a method for everyone out there. I know everyone learns in different ways…
It’s nice to say you’re going to study the Bible, but without a plan, we all know, it’s not going to happen…That’s just our nature.
So, not only will this Great Bible Study Guide help you out to learn more, it will give you a plan to accomplish your goal! Awesome stuff from Andy Deane!

My Take on Private Christian Schools
November 18, 2008 by KimberlyE · Leave a Comment
Now, I went to a private, Catholic school from kindergarten through Grade 13 in Canada, and from what I’ve seen, the education that we received from the Catholic school system was above and beyond what other schools in our area were learning and accomplishing.
Basically, in our area, you either go to a public school or to a Catholic school…It’s your choice…
I feel that it provided me with more discipline and although there are “bad” things in all schools, especially high schools, I still think we were sheltered from a lot of things that were going on at other schools, not to mention the degree to which we were affected.
My sister went, and both of her children go to these schools in our area as well…not to mention many cousins and friends…
Now, I actually “stumbled upon” the Horizon Prep website, which is a Private Christian School San Diego.
It is important to know what a school’s “mission” is. Not all Christian schools are created equally, and it’s important to find one that you feel comfortable with for your children and that coincides with your Christian beliefs!
When I read about this school, I appreciated what they are trying to accomplish in educating the student, as a whole, in a Christian context, including spiritual, social, mental and physical development.
They view themselves as an extension of the ministry of the Church and express that they are in existence to assist students in cultivating a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Not only that, they help them to discover and encourage their gifts, and to inspire each student to realize his or her full potential in serving God in spirit and in truth.
This Christian School San Diego bases this “framework” upon what is Biblically described as the Greatest Commandment: “To love God with our Heart (spiritually), our Soul (socially), our Mind (intellectually) and our Strength (physically)” according to Mark 12:30.
Their vision is geared towards the preparation of a generation of mature individuals that are equipped spiritually, academically, physically and socially for a life of opportunity and service to the Glory of God!
What is at the core of their values?
Well, they explain, “When Jesus was asked what the greatest achievement in life was, He said; “The first of all the commandments is: Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”
They feel this is the foundation of their philosophy of education, and find it to be an ideal template to provide a Christ-centered environment of learning.
I think they’re moving in the right direction based on these facts…
They surround the students at Horizon Prep in a nurturing environment and people who LOVE JESUS CHRIST!
If the old adage rings true, “You are just like the friends you keep”, then this is a phenomenal place to have your children learning, growing and developing…Learning about the Greatest Love…That of God’s son, Jesus Christ!
Furthermore, the students learn how to apply Christian principles to every academic subject and how to integrate their faith into every part of their life.

A Lady on a Plane
August 4, 2008 by KimberlyE · Leave a Comment
I’ve had a really tough couple of weeks. I visited my hubby in Dallas and within a few days was rushed to the Emergency room on the 4th of July.
I have been suffering with pain and a little uncertainty at what was wrong with me, and I am looking to go to the doctor when I get home, as my visit was cut extremely short.
Stress piled up with business and real estate, my mind running…
I was quite upset today to leave Dallas and my husband…to say the least…I was very tearful and just trying to get through the day.
I got on the plane, last, as I almost missed my flight due to airline changes unbenonced to me…
Obviously, looking as though I just wiped my tears away before I got on the plane, I was maneuvering my way to my seat in the back of the plane, as a lady grabbed my arm forcefully.
She looked me right in the face with such a sweet and calm voice, and said, “I’m praying for you.”
Wow! That just warmed my heart that someone would not only go out of their way to pray for me, but wanted me to know it, and wasn’t ashamed to tell me in the midst of a packed plane.
It was tear jerking to me as I thanked her. She gave me a sweet calmness on that flight and gave me some more strength to make it through my day.
She had no idea what was wrong with me, unless the Lord showed her, but she was convicted enough to console and pray for another person!
I don’t know her name and didn’t see her again after the flight, but she made an impact in my life today and I wanted to share this with you to encourage you when you feel the need to encourage someone else.
God Bless Her in Her Coming in and Her Going Out! I’m praying for her too!

Do You Know What the “Emergent Church” Is?
July 15, 2008 by KimberlyE · Leave a Comment
I was doing some research today on the Emergent Church as I was unsure exactly what this term actually meant…
According to Wikipedia:
Dr. R. Todd Mangum, Associate Professor of Theology and Dean of Faculty at Biblical Seminary, describes it this way:
“Emergent” is a loosely knit group of people in conversation about and trying experiments in forwarding the ministry of Jesus in new and different ways, as the people of God in a post-Christian context. From there, wide diversity abounds. “Emergents” seem to share one common trait: disillusionment with the organized, institutional church as it has existed through the 20th century (whether fundamentalist, liberal, megachurch, or tall-steeple liturgical). Its strengths: creative, energetic, youthful, authentic, highly relational. Its weaknesses: somewhat cynical, disorganized, sometimes reckless (even in the theological ideas willing to be entertained), immature…”
I believe, then, that “The Secret” and Oprah’s “newly forming church” would fall under this category, from what I can gather.
I also found some interesting information on it on Horizon.org, and wanted to pass it on to you.
While I was at this site, they also had some other great information on a wide array of topics including “I Want a Better Marriage” (Who doesn’t want to make their marriage even better?).
The pastor, Dr. Bob Botsford, actually serves on the advisory for the Billy Graham School of Evangelism and is the host/ teacher on “Testify,” a daily radio program broadcast in Southern California on KWVE 107.9 FM and KPRZ 1210 AM.
His ministry is at Horizon North County and they also have the Horizon Prep and Preschool. Very cool.
So, if you’re looking to Find a Church in Rancho Santa Fe, you might want to check out Horizon.org.
