Hello brothers and sisters!
I pray that all is well with you. I think I have found an answer to the "How many animals did Noah take on the Ark?" question. I have asked a few people whos oppinion I value very much. Being that they are my older brothers and sisters (in Christ) I look to them for advice. I got answers both ways. Most have said that the reason for the uneven number is so that Noah could use the unclean animals for sacrifice after the Ark had landed. As to whether it was 7 pairs or 7 each....everyone is divided. I researched a little on the internet and found information both ways. I didn't find many answers to this question when I was looking online, so I guess that this doesn't slow any one down. I am not going to let it slow me down either and will quickly move on to another. I will just put this in my "Things to ask God when I get to Heaven" file. If He should come down from Heaven and tell me the answer, I will be sure to pass it on. If not, I will still welcome any of your imputs as I move on to my next motivation.
In my first blog I wrote that I was going to write a book. I haven't forgotten. I have even tried to put it off because I have no idea how to do this. I can write forever and sometimes it runs together and sometimes it is just rambling all over. I have been working on a couple of blogs that may be turned into chapters in the book. I feel that God has put me in a unique place to learn and share what I have learned with those who need it. I have had on my heart so many things that I want to study, learn, and share. From time to time I may post some questions that you could feel free to answer or not. Also, if there is any imput, or constructive criticism that you would like to give, it would be appreciated. I will be posting some of my blogs here. Please note that these are not complete. They are mostly just ramblings and will be refined at a later time. I pray that everything is accurate and not offensive to anyone. I also pray that someone can learn from my experience and my writings. If I am inaccurate in any way, and you notice it, please let me know. I am working on obedience and even though I don't know what God will do, I know what he has asked me to do. He may be just giving me a motivation to learn more for myself and the book may never come to be. He may turn what I have learned into a book for all to read. Two things I know. 1. One day I will see the Lord, whether He comes or I go, we will meet. 2. God has put this heavy on my heart, and kept it on my mind. I must be obedient to that even if I don't know where it is going or why He is asking me to do it. I must trust Him knowing that He has the plans and they are good. No matter what I see, His plan is good. He does nothing but good. Obedience is the first step. I have learned a lot in the last two years about trusting the Lord. I have grown so much since I first accepted Christ, and chose to live my life differently. It is a never ending battle. I am constantly shown things that I need to change in myself. God is gracious and God is kind. As I learn I pray that you also will learn. I pray that I write according to Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen". God will take me home one day, and I will do my best to be obedient until then. May God bless you greatly.
