Pressing toward...

“I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”- Philippians 3:14

WALK and ......

Keep walking towards Him...drop to your knees when you are weak...and get up again...and walk towards Him. Life gets in the way...life is fast...it's furious...there's a spiritual warfare going on. Lift up yours and others needs to Him...also Praise Him...keep moving forward. Do...instead of sit...get moving for Him. Accept today...so He can bring much more for tomorrow. Walk your talk...talk your walk. Being a servant and follower of Christ is an amazing walk...it gets tough, but I don't want to know how much harder it would be without Him.

GOD IS AMAZING...HE IS BIG...I WANT HIM TO BE BIG IN YOUR LIFE. ASK HIM TO BE BIG!

Acts 2:22

22"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.

Memorize and see how God will shed light on it!

Believe

Believing is a verb! I know that I am working towards getting rid of my unbelief. I want to see Him everyday. I believe He can do what He says He can Do! Our Almighty God is more than we will ever know. He is the One that is the light....the truth...the way. Let go...start believing Him...and see what He has in store for you and others that come into your life. Step aside!

Birthday - Baby Steps

Today is my birthday...and just in case you didn't know, but I am on a trip in DC. I'm doing auto posting from the 8th - 19th. I'll have to respond to your comments when I return. Now that has been said, I want to share with you something important.

God has taught me many things. Today I turn 31 and feel like I have missed a lot of his lessons. I'm so thankful that He keeps giving them to me, so that I can finally pay attention and learn. Beth more said it best in last weeks lesson...God allows the devil to sift us like wheat when we need something sifted from our life.

Wow...I know I have a lot of things that need to be sifted...so as these little footprints above are tiny...I am reminded that baby steps are big ones....as long as you keep moving forward with God. So...let's all try to give up the things that need to be sifted...so God can do what He has meant for us. AMEN

PEACE AND JOY

Romans 5
Peace and Joy

1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Listen to God

BE STILL

Love Dare

Think about your husband or wife...girlfriend or boyfriend...family member....think about what they have done for you. Now think about what you have done for them. After doing so, thank him or her for what they have done. Sharing your appreciation is a wonderful start in communicating. Love is amazing...sadly we take it for granted. Enjoy!

Miracles, Wonders and Signs

If you think something is a coincidence...think again. God does so many miracles, wonders and signs everyday. Just look at his magnificent paintings through nature! The sky is my favorite, especially when the sun is beaming through the clouds. I like to think He is shining down on us. Do a God Stop and think about what He's doing right in front of your face. He's so much more, yet we all try to put Him in a box. Let Him be everywhere...because He is!

Prayer for Those Who Mourn

Almighty God, Father of all mercies and giver of all comfort: Deal graciously, we pray thee, with those who mourn, that casting every care on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

Twenty Third Psalm

Travel Prayer

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff--they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
- Psalms 23: 1-6

Please keep me in your prayers. I will be traveling over the next 9 days, starting at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow!

Psalm 138

This says it all....praise God!

Psalm 138
A psalm of David.

1 Lord, I will praise you with all my heart.
In front of those who think they are gods
I will sing praise to you.
2 I will bow down facing your holy temple.
I will praise your name,
because you are loving and faithful.
You have honored your name and your word
more than anything else.
3 When I called out to you, you answered me.
You made me strong and brave.
4 Lord, may all of the kings on earth praise you
when they hear about what you have promised.
5 Lord, may they sing about what you have done,
because your glory is great.
6 The Lord is in heaven. But he watches over those who are free of pride.
He knows those who are proud and stays far away from them.
7 Trouble is all around me,
but you keep me alive.
You reach out your hand to put a stop to the anger of my enemies.
With your powerful right hand you save me.
8 Lord, you will do everything you have planned for me.
Lord, your faithful love continues forever.
You have done so much for us. Don't stop now.

Motions

I may have posted this song at some point, but I want everyone to know that I don't want to go through the motions!

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something'
Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
'Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way ('cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,"What if I had given everything,
instead of going through the motions?"

take me all the way (take me all the way)
take me all the way (I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
take me all the way (through the motions)
take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Remember this...don't go through the motions. God wants so much more from you! Wake up and give your life to God. He will reveal His love and magnificent ways to you! Good luck!
