Slipping

“When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:18-19 NIV

Wow, He is always there for us; reaching out for us and grabbing out hand when we fall. Love and joy, peace and hope, help and guidance, these things truly only come from the Lord. Grab His hand when you are slipping but remember you don't have to slip to reach out and grab His hand. Rely on Him in the good times as well as the tough times. Know God is Good and He loves you very much!!!!

Live It!

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Let's try to live that way. It is easier said than done but that is how we are supposed to live. Not only as an example to others but to be filled with the hope, guidance, love, promises, and true joy that only we can have as followers and receivers of the amazing gift that is Christ Jesus. Just think on that...how freeing would it be to just live that way! Rejoicing always, praying unceasingly, and being thankful for everything. I don't know about you but that sounds like a lot of good days in a row to me :). So smile, connect with the God Almighty in a personal way by talking to Him today, and remember to thank Him for all the blessings in your life, as well as, the hardships you know He will make into glorious goodness! Have a fabulous weekend! 

Don't Forget to Smile

Don't Forget to Smile!

God is the ultimate healer. My best day is my best day because the Lord is sustaining me, protecting me, and helping me. He is lifting me up and blessing me with His promises. Yet, even when i am faced with the days when I don't feel so great there is more than enough hope in the Lord to make that not so good day, great. He is the bright light at the end of that tunnel you need to walk through. He is that helping hand to get you through. He is the solid foundation you can stand on to keep you from sinking. He is the one who makes all things right. Jesus is the ultimate healer for your soul, your body, and your life. If your day, your soul, and your body are not at their best surrender them to the Lord. Invite Christ into your day, into your heart, and into your life to do what He does best...makes the ordinary into extraordinary and the okay into great. Jesus can turn your life around and put a smile on your face when you don't think there should or could be one there. Trust me I am living proof :D. Jesus is the reason for the smiles, the hope, and the joy. Accept Him today and exchange that frown for a bright smile in Christ, turn in the despair for hope, and exalt Him with all the joy and peace you receive in Him. Jesus not only can but will change your life if you let Him. If Jesus is your Lord and Savior show it!!! If He saved you, healed you, and helped you, remember, and be overwhelmed with joy and happiness, tell everyone and don't forget to smile!!!

I Pray to Be

I Pray to Be

By: Amber Johnson

Dedicated to: My Mom

Singing along

Creating moves to match the song

Rolling on the floor

Till I can’t breathe anymore

Every day with you

Is a jump into

The world of smiles

That last for miles

The world of joy

Which nothing can destroy

The world of you

Which gives me a view

Of whom I pray to be

A person my kids would delight to see

A person in Christ who is completely free

A person anyone would agree

Is the light of heaven

the joy and hope of earth

And the best Christ can call His own

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!! I love you with all my heart!!! You are the greatest gift the Lord has ever blessed me with and I thank God for you every second of every day!!! I love you!!!!

100th post

I want to thank all my readers for taking the time to read my posts, as well as, commenting and getting involved in the blog. This blog is a way for me to attempt to communicate what the Lord has put on my heart and I pray I have been able to do that.

The main message summed up:
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Savior and the Lord and Master of all and I want to make that known throughout the world. Jesus is the scream out loud secret to a rich life. He is the key to everything you want in life- happiness, joy, fulfillment, purpose, life, hope, goodness, righteousness, and salvation. Jesus is the answer!!!

God Bless you all!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Questions & Answers

Have you ever asked God to make something clearer? Have you ever asked the Lord for an answer to a question that has been on your mind or heart? Sometimes the answers we are looking for aren't given to us right away. I love to be organized, know what's coming, and have a back up plan for the plan. I love answers and information to help me get where I need to be in life. Yet, I have realized that life lessons don't usually get answered quickly. I don't get to ask Jesus why and get the answer without learning, without growing, and without clinging to Him with every fiber in me that He fashioned with His own hands. Tonight, I was thinking that even if everything is going well in our lives and we still don't have an answer to a question that is lingering in our minds maybe that question is there so we will follow Jesus even closer than we would had we had the answer. I have been struggling with a question I have been praying to Jesus to answer, to give me some insight on, to show me what I need to learn, or to just make it leave my mind but in all that what I realized is that I was praying, begging, and being with Christ. It never occurred to me that the question itself could be the answer! The torment of the unanswered question drove me further into the place I always long to be, at the feet of Jesus. Who knew an unanswered question would bring me so much joy and satisfaction? Finding myself on my face before the Lord, diving into Him and His Word is the greatest answer I could ever hope to receive.

Shaken!

Acts 4:31 (New International Version)

 ³¹After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

Wow! Shouldn't this be what it is like for all of us who receive the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives? We should have a deep desire to courageously go out and spread the good news, blessings, and message of Christ. We should want to do nothing but tell of the truths of God and the sacrifice and gift of His Son, Jesus. Accepting Jesus Christ into our lives should shake the core of who we are, our lives, and the place we are at in that moment. Our old lives and practices should be shaken off and our new holy righteous skin in Christ should come forth. The foundation of the world that we used to stand firm on should be cracked and useless to allow the new foundation of Christ, His Word, and His glory to be built and used as a solid rock for where we will stand. If you have accepted Christ into your life and your life looks the same as before you asked Christ into your life....examine your heart, ask yourself who are you truly living for...yourself or Christ?...read the Word of God, the Holy Bible and learn how Jesus wants you to live....pray every second of the day about anything and everything so you can build a unique and loving relationship with Christ....go to church consistently so you can learn more about His Word and fellowship with others who can encourage you and help you grow in Christ....if you have been living for yourself and for the ways of the world and want to live for Christ, tell Him, dedicate your life to live for and love Jesus. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, so run to Him, and live in the joy, love, and unending goodness of the Lord.
May God Bless you all!!!
