Tell Me Something Good

I have a friend that one way she has lifted me up when things were tough (on her side OR mine) she always says "Tell me something good."  I love it! If you are struggling with negativity or because the way things are going now it's hard to focus on what is "good"...it makes you think.  Don't live on the past good thngs, what is good RIGHT NOW??? So...."Tell me something good."

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel

T hrough a season of heartache, mistakes, transition, and loss it has been more than difficult to focus on the Kingdom. When I prayed at the beginning of the year for what God had for me to do this year He gave me Matthew 6:33. Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. I was supposed to focus on the Kingdom. It has been difficult with all the distractions, but I know it was exactly because of those distractions and road blocks that God made sure I was trying to focus on the Kingdom. It has been next to impossible to focus, but His word has been a constant reminder. A reminder that I'm not walking alone, but He is here with me. I lost my best friend of 20 years July 10th. It's been less than three weeks. My heart is more than broken, if that is even possible. Teri was strong, but compassionate. Straight forward and honest. If she loved you, she loved you with all she was and no one

One Plants.....

"6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.   7  It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow.   8  The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.   9  For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building" (1 Corinthians 3:6-9)      My pastor preached about our purpose today.  It was an amazing message. Some of what he said made me take notice of some of the people around me in church. I started looking around.  As I was doing that the above scripture came to mind.  I looked at my cousin sitting in front of me.  I saw God's amazing work in his life.  My heart was overwhelmed. His mom had planted the seed of faith and salvation years ago, his brother has watered it, but it was God who had made the seed grow.  I wish I could tell you his whole

His Grace is Enough

So a friend of mine and I were talking one day as we ran into each other at the store.  She was a little upset about some recent events in her home.  During the course of our conversation....somehow it strangely came around to God's grace.  She admitted to me that she really didn't understand what that meant exactly.  I had to admit at one time as a  new Christian I also really understand what His "grace" was either.  I told her what I knew to let her digest that, but told her I would email her some information after I did some study.  I found this short couple of statements via http://www.acts17-11.com/mercy.html. Mercy--not getting what you do deserve / withheld punishment Grace--getting what you don't deserve / unmerited favor Ephesians 2:4-10 4  But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5  that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been
