Thoughtful Ramblings, Michelle Rogers

There have been a few things in my life that have radically changed me for the better, when I began to follow Jesus, when I met my husband, and when I became a mother twice over.  I recently got a chance to be on a panel with other mothers on this here Mother's Day.  My pastor had sent me some questions to go over during our service, but I thought I would share them with you all.  Not only are we going to go over the questions, I had enough time to answer them too, LOL. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings,Love,Michelle  miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode Eric and I talk about what we are doing right now.  I feel like this season the Lord is bringing more change, more new things, and an even greater leap of faith from us than ever before.  We touch on the book of Matthew again, Matt 6, and how radical Jesus was and still is, still flipping those tables (IYKYK). Anyways, it's pretty awesome how He moves everyday in our lives too.  I love the Lord, He has changed my life in so many awesome ways.  His promises are yes and amen, taste and see, if you seek you WILL find (that's a promise).  I love you guys and I am praying for you all, and I hope you enjoy, My Thoughtful Ramblings.Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

There is a point in scripture where Pontius Pilate asked Jesus "what is truth?"  I ponder this a lot, he was in politics, he did what was right in the eyes of government, but was it right in God's eyes?  If government was anything like it is now, back then, I am sure that man was as far from "Truth" as a man could ever get.  Truth, not feelings, facts! Truth!  Not what we were indoctrinated to learn, but the actual truth.  Who is to say what these "chem trails" are made of?  What is really allowed and inside of our food?  Our water?  the curriculum?  All of it, where is the truth?  You see, with man, you get rabbit trails, and deception, with Jesus, you get the Truth, He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Amen. Anyways, here I go rambling again and I'm not even talking I'm typing.   Hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

Hi Y'all (how's a bout that for southern speak?),In this episode Eric and I  (well most ly me) go off on a ton of little rabbit trails, but admit it...that's what you love.  We talk about Jesus and sermon on the mount, his most epic sermon, the most epic sermon ever to be sermoned.  He was so revolutionary in everything, how He taught, how He submitted, how He loved, mind blowing, honestly mind blowing.  Anyways, we love having our morning cup of Joe with y'all, and each other.  I love the Lord so much, it is so deep and beautiful I just hope and pray you all get to taste and see how good He is.anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michelle  miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

Man, I had fun making today's episode.  Eric is back and we added a little caffeine to the festivities, which was nice.  This episode mostly revolves around a Facebook encounter I recently had, ugh... I honestly don't understand people, but then I remember... this battle is not with flesh and blood, but with spiritual forces and powers.  God's got this, just gotta hold onto that faith in Him.  So, whatever crummy things people may be doing or saying, we are instructed by our God to pray for them, so that is what I am going to do.  I pray for all of y'all and we love ya awful.Hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode it's me flying solo, just like in the beginning (awww).  Just wanted to catch you guys up a little bit on my little mini visit to New England.  While it was nice, man, it is so nice to be home.  Loved being able to sit and have a little one on one sesh with y'all like I used to, but man, I love it even more with Eric in the hizzy, LOL.  Gosh I sound like such a gangsta after being up there, wow.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love,Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode Eric and I talk about some of our future endeavors, and how you can literally do anything as a ministry.  The people at your job, maybe you work there to pray for them or give them an encouraging word?  Maybe, you aren't even there for you?  Mind blown as I type.  Our time on this planet is a vapor, go out and do that thin that God has placed on your heart, it is there for a reason.  Everyone who is great started somewhere.  Anyways, Jesus started a worldwide revolution that has lasted 2 thousand years, that is crazy.  Even people who don't follow Jesus have passionate views of Him, crazy right?  Anyways, Eric and I talk about Jesus starting His ministry, after fasting and being tested.  Hmmm, maybe a fast is in order. Hope you enjoy our Thoughtful Ramblings,Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

Thank you for being a part of Thoughtful Ramblings for the past 2 years! In this episode we talk about Matthew 4, Jesus just got baptized and is led out in the wilderness to be tested,.  Jesus had to pass through all these crazy temptations, all while face to face with Satan.  I can't even imagine, honestly.  And think about it, how many people do we see in today's world, who have made eternal decisions for worldly position or posesssion?  Anyways, we also go on a hundred different rabbit trails, but honestly, isn't that part of the allure?  Love you guys awful, and thank you for listening to my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love,Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode we talk about Matthew 3, when John the Baptist comes on the scene.  I think Heaven was watching and cheering as he called out the pharisees and religious leaders for being snakes, so cool.  That John was told by God, he would get to see the Messiah, and then... it's his cousin!  Of course we can barely ever have a conversation staying on the same topic for long, but admit it... that's what keeps you coming back, begging for more.  If you have any prayer requests or whatever, email me. miss.shellrogers@gmail.comHope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

So, this week I had plans for this podcast, we were going to continue our journey in the book of Matthew, but I believe God had other plans for us and for you.  My work life gets shaken up again, and I fully believe it is God orchestrating all of it.  My work life, podcast, finances, have all been rattled this week, but God... For the first time in my life, instead of fear, I feel excited to see what God is going to do.  I feel like He has been waiting for me to leap as soon as he began stirring things, especially in my work life.Anyways, I fully trust Him is everything and I am kind of excited to see what He is going to do, since I jumped (He loves that) My God loves a bold faith, He loves when we are scared and do it anyways, He loves when we rely, trust and fully put our faith in Him, and wowzas, He not only loves it, He moves mightily through it.  I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michellemiss.shellrogers@gmail.com miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode we are getting deep into the book of Matthew.  The literal New Testament Genesis, and it is so good.  Not only did Christ come to bring us into everlasting, eternal life, but He came to bring us life and life more abundantly.  Excuse me, I may need a minute while my head explodes over how amazing and insane that is.  One thing really jumped out at me while I spoke on the podcast, even to when I am typing now, and that is when the angel of the Lord, spoke to Joseph and told him to do something, it was immediately followed with, and Jospeh got up...  Imagine the blessing in our own lives if we got up?  Imagine the blessing by taking a leap? Putting yourself out there? I could go on and on, but, I digress (I have been using that word a lot lately, this is my 4th time today).Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings.Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode we continue talking about the book of Matthew a little bit more, we continue into chapter 2.  The cool thing about the book of Matthew is you can almost picture Jesus reciting or Matthew taking intense notes and meticulous record of our Lord as he walked alongside Him.  God is so good, He choses people the world would never, He moves in ways that our so high above ours, He is so good to us, and man, what He did for us... come on, He is just too good.Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings this week and please let me know if I can pray for you, is you have any ideas for show topics, whatever... miss.shellrogers@gmail.comLove, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode Eric and I found ourselves being led to start sharing God's Word.  I felt the Lord wanted me to speak about the book of Matthew for so many reasons.  I feel like the Lord is shifting our podcast, just a little, to include more scripture, and more of us talking about it.  There is a Bible scripture that says, "My people perish for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6.  That is serious, that is ETERNITY, and that should be very concerning.If you are on the fence about Jesus, if you would like prayer for anything, if you would like me to send you a Bible free of charge, email me at miss.shellrogers@gmail.com Thank you so much for listening to my Thoughtful Ramblings , love Michelle   miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

Well, our conversation from last week spilled over and we kept talking for another 40 minutes.   So, I figured I would get an episode "in the bank" and that way...if life pops up, I will have these extra episodes in there, ya know?   I invite you to write to me with any prayer requests, maybe topics, maybe whatever... I don't know, LOLmiss.shellrogers@gmail.comBe blessed and hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, love Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode Eric and I ramble on about all the crazy stuff going on in the world.  Thank God He saved us years ago, I think the news and social media would send me over the edge, otherwise.  God being the center, the anchor, is so good!  I just want to scream it for all the world to hear.   He really does change your life.  Anyways, this episode is just us rambling on about anything and everything going on and how good our God is.  Taste and see. <3  Hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

I was utterly exhausted when we recorded this.  We had just gotten home late the night before and had a ton of errands to get done before hitting work today... OY.  All in all, I think it was pretty good, LOL.  I have put worse out there, that's for sure, LOL.  Just messin'.  We had a very nice visit to Massachusetts, family is amazing, food was great and of course... everything and anything that could go wrong, did.  Honestly, this is where the Lord really spoke to me about being thankful in ALL things.  Being back home, I felt like a stranger, not with my family so much, but it was if I did NOT belong there.  There was a spiritual thickness, God was so hard to find in all the noise.  I have never felt so assured I am exactly where I am supposed to be in my life.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings. Love, Michelle  miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

I love when God speaks to me through His word.  I mean the  times when the word leaps off the page and into your heart, those times.  Well, He spoke to me this week "do not despise the small beginnings"  Whoo, get ready for something new!  I believe it, God is on the move, not just in mine and Eric's lives, but yours!!  You gotta do the work, you gotta put in the time and above all, you gotta pray and keep God in everything.  That's the recipe, that's the key to riches that fill your soul more than anything ever could.Hope you all enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michelle. miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

I wrestled with this a little bit, this episode pokes some fun at one of the most memorable, crazy, and fun people you'd ever meet. This episode has a lot to do with my aunt Pidgie and she has passed away, honestly I believe she would love this, but I would never want to upset her/my family.  When the recording started for this episode, I just went there, and the more I think about it, the more I think Pidge would love to have another moment in the spotlight.  Anyone who has ever met Pidgie has not forgotten her, that's for sure.  She was a character at any place and time, I could tell you some stories...  Christmas though, that was her jam, and growing up we would spend every Christmas Eve at her home.  What was once something I dreaded, is now one of my favorite Christmas memories.Well, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful Ramblings, Love, Michelle  miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

In this episode Eric and I talk about our Sunday, how good it is to hear the word and be amongst other believers.  Sure we have been through some pretty crummy church stuff, but it aint about to stop me from what the Lord has for me/us.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy my thoughtful ramblings, Love, Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com

I have a deep faith in God, His power, His might, His miracles, I believe He is alive and is doing things in the earth right now. .  So this story in the book of Numbers (Numb:22:21-28) is very easy for me to believe, and picture in my mind.  There is one portion of the story that stated that a donkey spoke and asked his master why he was beating him, you'll have to read it, I am not going to type the whole thing out. Anyways, this guy on Facebook, I used to. be friends with years ago is (what I felt) trying to belittle me for believing this.  Well... sometimes I don't know what comes over me and I respond to these things, what are ya gonna do? Anyways, I hope you enjoy my Thoughtful RamblingsLove,Michelle miss.shellrogers@gmail.com
