Babble Time

So today during what I am now calling Babble time with the Lord.  Only because I kept going on and on and was talking so much about things I had to laugh.  I am just glad he is one who is patient enough to actually listen to everything everyone has to say and or ask.  I kind of had a ah-ha moment though.  I realize now that one of the reason's he wants me to go through school and learn his word, is not only to grow closer to him.  But to also take me out of the comfort zone when it comes to being a evangelist.  I tend not to post thing on facebook because I don't want to offend people.  But in doing so I may not be reaching that one person that may need it that day.  I have to think back to when my friend Lucious posted the video that forever changed my life.  If he would have not posted it that day where would I be that day?  I need to step up to the plate.

Have a blessed day in the Lord

Tears

I am not sure what is actually happening this week.  But it all started Sunday at church when I felt a over whelming since of the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit has not left me yet this week.  Yesterday & today when I was having my personal time in prayer with the Lord I have come to tears.  Yesterday the Lord put on my heart that this soon to be marriage my brother is jumping into is going to be OK.  I have to throw all my concerns about it and have complete faith.  I will be the rock my brother and soon to be sister in law need instead of being the negative person in their life.  There was other prayers in there but I am not going to get into all those personal ones here.  Today while I was having my daily prayer I asked the Lord to give my grandpa a hug and for me and it literally brought the tears on for some reason.  I miss that man everyday he was the father figure in my life and I am grateful that my last words to him were I Love You!  I know it would be weird for me to tell everyone on my life Love you when I hang up or am saying goodbye when I see them.  But I feel that need everyone who means something needs to know how much I truly care for them.  Whether I know you personally or not please know that each and everyone of you is in my life for a reason, God wanted us to cross paths and for that I am grateful for everything you do.

Love,

Courage

Last night i listened to a sermon for school and it was beyond amazing.  He focused on joshua 1:1-9 how God didn't just come to joshua in a dream he came to him personally. Think about it courage rest on the assurance of God's presence.

He challenged the crowd to study all of God's challenges in the Bible. 

I'll leave you with something he said: don't ask for for a task that equals your power.  Instead ask for power to do a task.

Have a blessed day

The power of the Holy Spirit.

I am not sure what was so different yesterday at church, but man could I feel the Holy Spirit.  There was 3 points yesterday when I cried.  The last time I stopped fighting it and just let it flow.  I had goosebumps a few times.  The amazing sound of hearing everyone in the congregation sing it beyond amazing.   To know that God is looking over our church even through the rough times we have been having lately excites me.  It tells me he likes the vision our leaders have and he wants to see it grow.  I love the feeling of when our plans fit with God's plan.

Verse of the day much needed

I am counting on the Lord; yes I am counting on him.  I have put my hope in his word. Psalm 130:5

That was the verse of the day per my bible app.  That was very much needed today.  Monday I had a really bad experience with a Dr. who I have learned is very very unprofessional and I shall not return to him.  The devil sure does peak his head in at a person's most vulnerable times.  Well you fail once again,  I will trust in the Lord that he has a better Dr. out there for me and I will rise above your nasty schemes.  With God as my ultimate body guard nobody will beat me down.

Have a blessed day

getting out of my comfort zone

recently i realized that by me leading my thursday night life group it is only helping me,  it is teaching me to walk out of my comfort zone of talking in front of groups of people.  i believe this is only going to help me on my way of my path in ministry.  i love that each week i can look at what the lesson is and think what can i do differently this week to make people excited about the lesson instead of just reading the question and talking about the answers.  i think the group i am in is awesome because everyone literally everyone gets involved with what i have in store.

Sometimes it takes one moment

Sometimes it takes one moment one phrase to bring a crowd to tears or  together or to God. Garth Brooks is my favorite country star (probably the only). I not only cried watching this but i smiled because of his statement about the sign and saying how God reached out his hand.  Makes me wonder how many people felt the holy spirit in that moment.  I want there but i could tell it must have been powerful in the stadium that night.
