Thank you Heavenly Father for all the blessings you have showered on me.
Sometimes I don't feel I deserve it... I pray that I will one day become the person that is worthy of your blessings.

This is so strong in my heart today and every day! Love this worship song.

What can wash away my sin?

"What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus."

Have a blessed Easter Sunday- Everyone.

32 souls saved today. All youth, probably all under age 25. mixture of seemingly thuggish boys and girls that you'd assume didn't know Jesus at all if you didn't know them personally. But God sent them to church today for a purpose and that purpose was fulfilled. go Jesus! go Jesus! go Jesus! go Jesus!

Woke up with this song on my mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaGelu2b2Qs

I felt myself slipping, and I did fall. Every time I step outside the will of God I see the consequences almost immediately. I admit, I can't do this on my own. I need him!

I was extended the right hand of fellowship yesterday :yay:

[Angelicus]

I made a mistake -- I was trying to pay my tithe online and put in my whole check amount by mistake... then I pressed backspace and it took out my whole check amount again :( Remind me to never pay stuff online while I am sick.

Im tired of going around the same blank mountain..is even possible for change..I will fake it I guess..one day I might get to the christian promise..

Galatians 6:9

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

[Renovating]

Im tired of going around the same blank mountain..is even possible for change..I will fake it I guess..one day I might get to the christian promise..

:nono: I don't think you should fake it. All through the book of Psalms, David was REAL with God about how he felt. I think we must use discretion with man and be REAL with GOD.

Psalms 3:4 To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah

Psalms 4:1 Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer

Psalms 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing.
Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

I received a good word on weariness from Joyce Meyer yesterday that lifted my spirit that I will share.

The type of Strength and Renewal that we need when we get spiritually weary only comes from God, not from our own strength. For this to happen, we must decide to meet God half-way. When we do all we can, we let go and let God do the rest (what we can't do), so we don't allow ourselves to get bogged down with unnecessary worrying. This is what adding the Super to the Natural means.

Miracles come in CANs
I CAN get up this morning with an upbeat attitude;
I CAN see the good in something bad
I CAN smile today.
I CAN count my blessings
I CAN...

No one can do this for us. This isn't New Age, this is Faith at work. And there is nothing fake about exercising our Faith. :yep:

Isaiah 40:31

"But they that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint"

The Lord is faithful...He's never failed me yet! He came through for me in a great way today, when there was nothing left to do but to simply wait for Him to show up. The Lord is faithful indeed!

I praise God for this past Holy Week leading up to Resurrection Sunday! I have experienced the Lord in a whole new way and I feel FABULOUS!!!

Went to Bible Study which is more than just studying the Bible but how it effects us and how to practically live it out. Tonight was about Revelation 20-21 based on the Sermon on Revelation 20:6. We are constantly dying to sin and being resurrected. Some times we are dying to a way of thinking, other times it is to a habit or deed and we are resurrected/changed each time. The life of a Christian is constantly being a state of going into a trial, in a trial, or coming out of a trial as we are being shaped and molded into Christ's likeness. As we go through trials it is good to remind ourselves that the goal/reward of being a Christian is spending Eternity with God the Father and Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem. How amazing is that?!?!? Thank you Jesus for overcoming death and reconciling us (me) with God. Amen!!

Bishop Veron Ashe is simply amazing.

I hate being misunderstood. Sigh. But whatever, God has definitely got my back, I'm His child for sure.

Thank you Lord for your grace. I could be anxious about soo many things right now, but it is only through your grace, that I am able to rest and have peace in the midst of the storm. It amazes me everytime how you keep me. THANK YOU LORD.

Today I thought about:

***How it can be easy to try to strong-arm God into granting what we want, like the only way we can expect something of Him is if it's owed to or promised us. But Jesus already said He is our good father. So why is it so hard for me to just ask Him for what I want, knowing that I can expect good things from His hand?

***How Jesus' love was freely offered, but we will still be accountable for rejecting it. We talk of love requiring nothing in return, but I think that there is always some kind of reciprocity required with genuine love. Not tit for tat, but definitely a response in kind.

***How you have to start living the life you want and cannot wait for it to come to you. Be the person you want to be today.

***Grace is necessary in friendships and other relationships to remain close to one another. Being critical of one another kills relationships.

I love this Psalms! :sunshine:

Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel say-

2 if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,

3 when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;

4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,

5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird
out of the fowler's snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth

G_d is amazing! :yep:
