As we get close to Christmas, A Question for you, my readers:

What would you have done of you were one of the shepherds that the angel announced the birth of Jesus to? Would you have freaked out, or would you have been excited, and listened? I'd like to think that I'd be a bit shocked, but still have listened.

Patience is a hard thing to maintain. Just remember that things only happen when God says it's time for them to happen! I've learned that the hard way!

If Jesus can forgive us of our sins, why can't we forgive others for much lesser transgressions?

Some things I've learned the past few days:

There are no totally good or totally evil people

God put everyone here for a reason, no one's life is better or lessen then anyone else's

Life's precious

People, tell all your family and friends how much you love them, the next time you talk to them may be the last time.

-God Wants all of you, 100%, nothing less is acceptable!

Lord, please forgive me for straying away from you and getting my mind stuck on worldly things like finding someone. Please help me keep you number one in my life!

Dear Lord, please watch over Nicie and her Family as they mourn the loss of her sister's Husband. We don't really need to know why he took his life, but what matters is that there's a Mom and Dad that have lost their Son, A wife has lost her husband, and there is an unborn child that will never know her father.

Surrendering

Lord, please show me what your will for my life is.  I know I've asked this before, but this time, I totally give myself to you.

The Rapture

Today In Church the sermon was on the Rapture.   I hope it happens during my lifetime! Won't it be wonderful when Jesus calls us home and we're taken up into Heaven?  I can't wait, cause I know I'm going there!

Something To Remember

God Has A Reason For Everything That Happens In Your Life.

These days, I do beleive that God would be shaking his head in disbelief at how Christianity has been divided into so many different denominations. How could people get totally different ideas of what His word means?

God, I thank you for our generous friends from Church Who helped out Dad with his truck. It's sooo nice that you've put such great people in our lives. There are not that many people who would spend their own money on someone that they hadn't known for that long.

Today as we celebrate Easter, Let 's not forget what it's about! Jesus is risen after dying for you and me!

Ten Ways Jesus Changed the World



1. He split our calendar in two: B.C. and A.D.

2. He showed us God is love.

3. He refused a crown to bear a cross.

4. He occupies no grave.

5. His sermon on the Mount set forth the highest standard for how we should
live.

6. He modeled forgiveness in a world of stone throwers.

7. He transformed fishermen and tax collectors into world changers.

8. He healed the sick and raised the dead…enough said.

9. He challenged religion devoid of compassion.

10. He willingly accepted a cruel death so that we might have life.

The scriptures tell us that God “showed his love among us — He sent his one and
only Son into the world that we might live through Him.”

Our Revival Services this week had a profound effect on me. Especially the first night, which dealt with bitterness. I'm getting over all the stuff I've been through, slowly but surely, but it's not easy...

Lord, I thank you for the new friends I've met the past couple of weeks. For Mikey, for Rev. Mike, and Keeper, they have been so good to me, I thank you Lord, for putting them in my life!

Some Prayer Requests For Today:

1: Comfort For the families of those killed in the NY plane Crash

2: For the US to pull out of our financial problems

3: For My Church To Continue to grow

4: For my friends that God will take care of their needs

5: For My Family especially my 2 sister, who are unsaved

6: For me, That I can lose weight, and that I can find someone.

Dear Lord, hear my prayer:

Please forgive me for my occasional lapses in faith. I know that you are here for me, but sometimes I am just impatient in waiting for my prayers to be heard.
